Invasive Species: Giant Hogweed
Heracleum mantegazzianum, also known as Giant Hogweed, originated in the western Caucasian region and was intentionally imported to Europe in the 19th century as a decorative plant. By now the plant is well established all over Europe, while the dissemination happens through rubble and garden waste, among others. The Giant Hogweed preferes higher altitudes and rainfall. Climate change could impact a shifting of the species to colder and less dry regions.
