Summary/Abstract: This study addresses the assessment of the legal model of protection against invasive plant species. Invasive alien species are one of the main risks to biodiversity and related ecosystem services. The threat to biodiversity and related ecosystem services posed by invasive alien species takes various forms. Moreover, invasive alien species have a significant impact on native species and on the structure and function of the ecosystem. There is a very low awareness of this phenomenon in Poland and worldwide. Therefore, legal instruments and appropriate knowledge are the basic elements of building a strategy for dealing with invasive alien species.
