Results A total of 89 plant species regarded as invasive species or weeds in South Africa were identified as being used in traditional medicine. The most commonly mentioned plant family was the Asteraceae with a total of 15 species followed by the Fabaceae and Solanaceae with 6 species each. ...
The exotic triffid weed Chromolaena odorata is native to South America, but has spread to South Africa where it is classified as one of the country’s most noxious weeds In the absence of any natural control mechanisms, this plant proliferates in savanna ecosystems, and can be found on &Beyo...
Shipping has been by far the dominant pathway for the introduction of non-native marine species to the European Atlantic coast (47% of established non-native species) and to the Baltic Sea (45%, [36]). This pathway has also been a significant factor in freshwater animal introductions to Eur...
Targeting emerging weeds for biological control in South Africa: the benefits of halting the spread of alien plants at an early stage of their invasion. Biological control against incipient, or emerging, weeds (plants in an early stage of invasion) has not been widely practiced in many countries...
Many invasive plant species in Europe are primarily recognized as agricultural or forestry weeds. Additionally, 17 out of the 18 plant species recorded among the most damaging invasive species in Europe [6] are known to reduce the habitat of native species [34]. Eight of them are reported to...
