This study aims to investigate some aspects that still remain unexplored such as the relationship between anthropogenic disturbances with the spatial mechanisms of species spread. Over the years, multiple attempts have been made for controlling gorse, including biological methods, but they have not been fully successful. The International Union for Conservation of Nature listed gorse (Ulex europaeus, Fabaceae), a heliophilous evergreen shrub, as one of the world's 100 worst invasive species. Maintaining a dense tree canopy cover and reducing the use of fire could help reduce the rate of expansion of this species across the landscape. The presence and abundance of this species is highly dependent on human disturbance, and the occurrence of certain landscape elements closely linked to land management is critical to the performance of this species. Interestingly, the presence of this species can be better predicted by combining predictors taken at two hierarchical levels, the so-called transect and plot scales, whereas the species abundance only depends on factors at the plot level. In a complex human-dominated landscape matrix, shrublands and forest plantations act as a source of propagules from which new areas can be invaded. Although this shrub is present in most of the landscape, it is most abundant in shrublands and forest plantations. monspessulana are strongly related to proximity to roads, urban areas and locations with higher rainfall. We found that the presence and cover of T. For each transect we recorded variables at different spatial scales related to climate and land use. We recorded the presence and cover of this invasive shrub in a series of transects along the main roads of the study area. We have built mixed models to explain the presence and abundance of a renowned invasive species in the south-central area of Chile, Teline monspessulana (French broom, Fabaceae). Furthermore, we show how these factors interact to influence the distribution and abundance of an invasive plant. In this paper we analyze the relative role of different environmental factors in plant invasion, in particular the comparison between human versus climatic and biotic variables at different spatial scales. Identifying which factors favor the invasion and which constraint it, remains an essential goal for understanding the process of invasion and to provide a stronger scientific basis for designing management actions to reduce susceptibility to invasion. It has so many yellow flowers from spring to summer they nearly cover the whole plant.The interaction between plant attributes, environmental factors and the history of human intervention determines which species show a more invasive behavior and which areas are more likely to be invaded. Cytisus racemosus nana (dwarf yellow broom) reaches about 5 feet in height and also grows well in containers.'Burkwoodii' reaches between 5 and 7 feet tall, with crimson flowers in late spring. 'Killiney Red' is a smaller, compact variety with red blooms. 'Goldfinch' is crimson and yellow with pink and yellow wings. 'Cornish Cream' has ivory cream and yellow flowers. There are several cultivars of the species. Cytisus scoparius (common broom, Scotch broom) puts on a long show of yellow flowers on its 5-foot reach from May to June. Cytisus x praecox (Warminster broom) is a hybrid that grows to 5 feet tall offering pale yellow flowers in early May.Foliage is deep green and flowers are ruby red and yellow through spring and early summer. Cytisus x 'Lena' (Lena scotch broom) a dwarf variety that grows 4 feet tall.Cytisus x spachianus (sweet broom) is a hybrid with bright yellow, sweetly fragrant flowers in late spring.This wide, low-growing shrub displays pale yellow to creamy white flowers in spring. Cytisus x kewensis (Kew broom) reaches 2 feet tall and is ideal for rock gardens.The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board.
