Hyperdominance of Exotic Invasive Trees in Street Afforestation of Semi‐Arid Brazilian Cities

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
Cities of the Brazilian semi‐arid region are dominated by non‐native species. Fifty percent of urban afforestation is composed of the invasive species Azadirachta indica. The urbanization gradient does not affect the richness of non‐native species. Cities farther away from the Brazilian coast are mostly biodiversity‐unfriendly.
