Abstract

The first inventory of alien species in the Republic of Mordovia was conducted in 2000. The article provides information on changes in the species composition, as well as the taxonomic and typological structures of the region’s alien flora that have occurred for 20 years. The enrichment of the flora in new species was revealed. Enrichment of flora with new species was recorded, mainly due to species escaped from the cultural plantings. The role of the transport routes in the dispersal of alien species has increased. Among natural habitats, fragments of meadow steppe, water bodies, and swamps were relatively stable in the colonization of new alien species. The analysis of the lists of species in 2000 and 2020 was carried out for changes in the degree of naturalization by species. The corresponding examples of views are given in the article.
