- •
Climate change is predicted to shape the distribution of alien invasive plants.
- •
We reconstruct niche models of the top five alien freshwater plants in South Africa.
- •
We find that climate change will favor the spread of some aquatic plants.
- •
We also find evidence for range contraction for other plants.
- •
We call for integrating climate change in control measures of alien invasion.
