gradual migration Explanation: Well, my Spanish is lousy, but 'displacement' does not appear to me to be the correct term in English. I assume you want to say that the area 'colonized' by the plant is slowly moving northeast. You might use movement, migration (although this sounds like they are growing legs and walking). displacement sounds to me like they are being physically pushed there by something else. My thoughts from the USA. |
