Invasive alien trees and shrubs in Córdoba Province (Argentina): a contribution to thesystematization of global bases. We present the first database of invasive alien trees and shrubs of Córdoba Province and analyze it in the context of current national and global databases. We identified 34 invasive woody alien species. Most aliens are from Europe, Asia and Middle East origin, introduced for horticulture reasons. Grasslands are the most invaded ecosystem (39%), followed by woodlands and shrublands (32%). Most of the species (59%) are dispersed by animals (birds) and wind (35%). Except fortwo species, most of the species has also been recorded as invaders in other areas of the world. However, only half of them are currently registered as invaders in South America. This might reflect the notably lower research on biological invasions within the continent and the subsequent bias and underestimation of its invasibility. Two species (Cupressus macrocarpa and Zanthoxylum armatum) should be incorporated as new species in the global database. We also refer to some missing information in two major national databases, hoping to contribute with their updating. Finally, we mention six species native to Argentina to be considered as native invaders of Cordoba Province ecosystems. Overall, we expect to provide useful information for the development of basic and applied studies of biological invasions. Se presenta la primera base de especies invasoras arbóreas y arbustivas de la Provincia de Córdoba y se analiza en el contexto de las invasiones por leñosas a escala nacional y mundial. Se identificaron 34 especies leñosas exóticas invasoras. La mayoría son originarias de Europa, Asia y Medio Oriente, introducidas como ornamentales. Los ecosistemas más invadidos son los pastizales (39%) seguido por bosques y matorrales (32%). La mayoría (59%) se dispersan por animales (aves) y viento 35%). A excepción de dos especies, la mayoría son también invasoras en otros lugares del mundo. Noobstante, solo la mitad de las invasoras de Córdoba se registraban como invasoras de Sudamérica. Esto último refleja la magnitud en la cual se está subestimando la invasibilidad del continente Sudamericano. Dos especies (Cupressus macrocarpa y Zanthoxylum armatum) se incorporarían como nuevas especiesen la base mundial de leñosas invasoras. Se detalla la información faltante en dos bases nacionales, esperando contribuir a la actualización de estos valiosos documentos. Finalmente se listan seis especies nativas de Argentina que estarían invadiendo comunidades vegetales de Córdoba. Esperamos que esta base de datos aporte al desarrollo de estudios básicos y aplicados en la ecología de las invasiones biológicas.
