The phenomenon of introduction, naturalization and invasion of alien plant species sets its mark on ecosystems all around the world. The Arctic is not an exception here and non-native plant species are playing an increasingly important role in local floras across the region. The poster will summarize the results of the recent study carried out on a pan-Arctic scale and aimed to establish the list of non-native plant species present in the region, their naturalization status and pathways of introduction. Basic taxonomic and biogeographic characteristics of the non-native flora of the Arctic will be presented.
