Functional grouping and establishment of distribution patterns of invasive plants in China using self-organizing maps and indicator species analysis

In the present study, we introduce two techniques - self-organizing maps (SOM) and indicator species analysis (INDVAL) - for understanding the richness patterns of invasive species.We first employed SOM to identify functional groups and then used read more INDVAL to identify the representative areas characterizing these functional groups.Quantitati
