Justification for EICAT assessment


A. holosericea changed the functionality of the soil microbial community and species evenness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus communities (Remigi et al., 2008), with negative impacts on the native Faidherbia albida.
Confidence rating
Low
Mechanism(s) of maximum impact
Indirect impacts through interactions with other species
Countries of most severe impact
Senegal
Description of impacts
Indirect impacts through interactions with other species - Acacia holosericea promotes the multiplication of one fungal species and as a result altered the species evenness of arbuscular mycorrhizal communities. Acacia holosericea also modified the structure of Bradyrhizobia populations in the soil.
