Abstract
Linear development such as road and railway construction is considered to be an important factor in the dipersion agent of alien species. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of road project implementation on the introduction of alien plants. We selected the roadworks that have been completed or completed by more than 70% of the projects in the Han River basin environment agency. The alien plant data were divided into five phases: pre-construction (P0) and construction (P25, P50, P75, P100) according to the annual process rate. As the construction progresses, the naturalization rate, the urbanization index and the tendency of the number of exotic plants increase. Especially, alien plants were introduced rapidly at the beginning of the construction period, and the introduced species continued to appear until the construction was completed. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the introduction of ailen plants by concentrating management of embankment process and the vegetation restoration process at the beginning of roadworks.
