Research on the Risk Aversion of Plant Introduction

Abstract:

Due to human factors, plant introduction that makes the introduced plants cross over insurmountable space boundary under the natural brings benefits to people, but it may give rise to biodiversity decrease, genetic pollution, and habitat destruction and so on. In addition, the exotic plants may also become invasive species, leading to the ecological disaster in new habitat. It is more effective to avoid the risks of plant introduction by taking such following actions: enhancing ecological safety consciousness, strengthening the study on risk mechanism about plant introduction, establishing the introduction risk assessment system suitable for their own national characteristics, strengthening the effective supervision of the plant introduction and making the introduced plants and the local native plants realize the reproductive isolation in space-time and so on.
