Introduction to Plants, Algae and Fungi Plants, Algae and Fungi events in Hawaii and around the Pacific Basin

The remote location and wide diversity of habitat types in the Hawaiian Archipelago has resulted in the evolution of many unique species of plants. There are about 1,000 native species of flowering plants in Hawai'i, over 90% of which are endemic, found no where else on earth, the largest percentage of endemic species found in any flora. However, these native plants are also under attack from an equal number of invasive non-native plants that have been introduced from other parts of the world and have become established. Similar scenarios exist for other island groups in the Pacific. More?
