Took me a while, but I am now ready to accept @EcoInvasions definition of what 'invasive' means: an exceptional ability to colonize, establish & spread, regardless of impact (and regardless of nativeness status)

@JLembrechts @EcoInvasions So, Fagus sylvatica is invasive in Central Europe & Picea abies in Fenno-Scandia? ;)
@JCSvenning @EcoInvasions I might have stept out of line with the 'nativeness', but was trying to include the concept of 'native invaders'. Might not be entirely possible to match both, however...
@JLembrechts @EcoInvasions I think those two tree species would fit pretty much any concept of native invader ;) eg cf Ellenberg:
@JCSvenning @JLembrechts @EcoInvasions Otherwise, what you describe as invasive native species seems more subtly captured by Grime’ CRS plant strategies.
@Araujo_lab @JCSvenning @JLembrechts @EcoInvasions Ho, I can see Acer pseudoplatanus in this list from Ellenberg, interesting as this is exactly what we see in the field 😀 Acer pseudoplatanus is so dynamic and spread quite fast beyond its north-western limit in France
