Non-native plants are a serious environmental and economic problem in southern Canada; however, few extend to northern latitudes. The northern range limits of non-natives may be set directly by cold climate, but also may be influenced both positively and negatively by interactions with natural enemies (herbivores and pathogens). Northern populations may gain an advantage by escaping enemies that are themselves unable to disperse to or survive in northern sites; on the other hand, slow-growing northern plants may have trouble replacing tissues lost to any enemies that they fail to escape, reducing their success.

非本土植物在加拿大南部是一个严重的环境和经济问题；然而，很少有植物延伸到北纬地区。非原住民的北方活动范围可能直接受到寒冷气候的影响，但也可能受到与天敌(食草动物和病原体)相互作用的积极和消极影响。北方种群可能会通过逃避敌人而获得优势，这些敌人本身无法分散到北方地区或在那里生存；另一方面，生长缓慢的北方植物可能难以补充它们未能逃脱的任何敌人失去的组织，从而降低它们的成功。
