  abstract = {{A}ims: {M}ost naturalized plants are escapees from cultivation. {I}nventories of cultivated introduced species thus offer unique, still underutilized, opportunities to assess naturalization drivers of introduced plants. {W}e used a comprehensive inventory of 13,718 introduced species cultivated in {C}hina's botanical gardens to test which species characteristics distinguish the 739 species that have naturalized.{L}ocations: {C}hina.{M}ethods: {W}e used generalized linear models to test whether the naturalization of cultivated introduced plants in {C}hina is associated with functional traits, propagule pressure, environmental niche and introduction history. {T}o test direct and indirect effects of those variables and their relative importance in driving naturalization, we used structural equation models.{R}esults: {W}e showed that species were more likely to naturalize when they originate from the {A}mericas, are more widely cultivated, and have a longer residence time. {M}oreover, species were more likely to naturalize if they have a good environmental match, are short-lived herbs, are predominantly propagated from seeds, and, in the case of herbs, are relatively tall compared to other herbs. {P}art of the latter effects are mediated by how these variables relate to propagule pressure proxies, and this varies among short-lived herbs, long-lived herbs and woody plants.{M}ain {C}onclusions: {N}aturalization is partly driven by life-form-dependent cultivation biases.},
