Plant invasions cause a serious threat to native biodiversity. Agricultural habitats are highly disturbed and often invaded by the alien plant species. Generally, the success of a plant invader depends on the abiotic (e.g. climate, habitat properties) and biotic factors (e.g. the characteristics of the invader and interaction with the resident species). In this thesis, I determined the invasion level of alien plant species in Finnish agricultural habitats. In addition, I assessed the environmental conditions and species characteristics affecting plant invasions, and the alien species impact on native species richness and diversity. The invasion level of alien plant species varied between different types of semi-natural agricultural habita...
