Abstract (en):
This article reports Acacia farnesiana as a potential invasive alien species in the Providence Island, Colombia. According to the evaluation of the establishment risk, the potential of invasion and the control feasibility, based on I3N methodology, this species has been defined as a high-risk invasive plant to the biodiversity (6,97), it fulfills more than 86 % of the risk factor variables, which have been using in this methodology, to measure those above mentioned. Therefore, eradication and control should start immediately in the island, in order to mitigate latent damage and future greater consequences that have been showed in other Caribbean islands and continental ecosystems. Finally, we suggest some recommendations to eradicate and mitigate the effects of the potential invasion.
Abstract (es):
Este artículo reporta Acacia farnesiana como una especie con potencial invasor en la isla de Providencia, Colombia. De acuerdo con la evaluación del riesgo de establecimiento, del potencial invasor y de la factibilidad de control, propuestas en la metodología I3N, esta especie ha sido definida como una invasora de alto riesgo (6,97) para la biodiversidad en la isla, cumpliendo con más del 80% de las variables de riesgo establecidas en esta propuesta. Por lo tanto, es necesario emprender acciones inmediatas que permitan su control y futura erradicación, con el fin de mitigar los efectos latentes y las consecuencias identificadas actualmente en otras islas del Caribe y ecosistemas continentales. Finalmente, se presentan recomendaciones para erradicar y mitigar los efectos de una
posible invasión en la isla.
