Impact Description"Because of their rapid growth, they can form dense canopies which occupy a large amount of space, they block sunlight and oxygen exchange and as a result outcompete native species. In full summer, the oxygen content felled to <5 mg/l in the underlying water layers of the dense canopies at some of our heavily invaded sites."
