Impact Description | Due to the nitrogen-fixing nodules, Lupinus polyphyllus changes the soil chemistry in favor of nitrogen-demanding species. Thus, L. polyphyllus causes a change in nutrient content of the soil and, eventually, in plant communities. Eutrophication of nutrient-poor sites and consequent changes in community structure and diversity are the main problems when L. polyphyllus invades an area. |
