Some weeds are at the early stages of invasion in Australia and may become widespread over the coming years.
These weeds may appear benign for many years until disturbances such as:
- fire
- flood
- drought or
- climate change
promote their spread and establishment.
These weeds have been termed ‘environmental alert weeds’ and ‘agricultural sleeper weeds’, with most state and territory legislation now capturing species that pose a high risk.
However, other species are more established and widespread, posing significant economic, environmental and social impacts and damage.
