Invasive Species: Golden wreath wattle

The golden wreath wattle (Acacia saligna) originally comes from South-West Australia and was imported to Southern Europe for stabilising sand dunes and for silvicultural reasons. It was also used as a decorating plant and for biomass production. The dissemination of the plant is still restricted to southern European countries like France, Greece and Italy. Climate models are suggesting an expansion of the distribution area as the temperatures in Europe are gradually rising.
