The results of distance-based redundancy analysis (dbRDA) showing the relationship between forward-selected plot characteristics – Ca (soil total Ca), CORG (soil organic C) and ChlTOT (Rosa rugosa leaf total chlorophyll) – and resident plant species occurrence in the invasion plots. The analysis was based on Bray-Curtis distances. Explanation of acronyms of species names: Agrvin – Agrostis vinealis, Ammare – Ammophila arenaria, Carare – Carex arenaria, Corcan – Corynephorus canescens, Galver – Galium verum, Hieumb – Hieracium umbellatum var. dunense, Hyprad – Hypochoeris radicata, Latjap – Lathyrus japonicus ssp. maritimus, Polvul – Polypodium vulgare, Viotri – Viola tricolor ssp. curtisii
