Abstract

Plant migration is a very real phenomenon with evidences from prehistoric and present observations. This migration may be in the form of habitat expansion through the outlier individuals or the success of hitchhiking. Humans have also contributed to plant migration through the introduction of economic and aesthetic species to new habitats. At the same time, humans are also contributing to the failure of plant migration through habitat fragmentation. The global implications of plant migrations are discussed.
