Widespread introduced species dominate the urban tree assemblage on the endemic‐rich tropical island of São Tomé

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Afrotropical cities are growing rapidly but how this impacts biodiversity is largely unclear. Our study on São Tomé Island, Central Africa, reveals that the urban tree assemblage is impoverished and dominated by introduced species, while the natural forest is essential for the protection of native and endemic species.
