Justification for EICAT assessment


A. pycnantha exerted detrimental impacts on the native vegetation, mainly causing a severe species loss in the understorey community and the impoverishment of the invaded ecosystems (Lazzaro et al., 2015). Plant community composition severely changed moving along the invasion gradient.
Confidence rating
Low
Mechanism(s) of maximum impact
Poisoning/toxicity
Countries of most severe impact
Italy
Description of impacts
There was only one impact entry for the species thus not a lot of research on the species. The invader caused a change in native species composition, outcompeting them.
