From the Abstract: "Invasibility of riparian plant communities was estimated by the percentage of alien species found along the Adour River (Southwest France) and along Lookout Creek, McKenzie River, and Willamette River (Central Cascades, Oregon, U.S.A.). At the patch scale, the invasibilities of riparian plant communities were compared between one exceptionally rich site of the Adour River and patches selected in the Hoh and Dungeness watersheds (Olympic Peninsula, Washington, U.S.A.). Alien species ... represented 24% of 148 species for the Hoh drainage and 28% of 200 species for the Dungeness drainage. ... Positive linear relationships were found between the total number of species and the percentage of aliens observed in each site."
