摘要
The frequency and abundance of invasive alien plants were recorded along roadsides and at watercourse crossings in 82.9% (145/175) of the quarter degree squares in the study area (31-35 degrees S, 17-25 degrees E and covering +/- 90000 km(2)). The survey yielded 102 species of which the most prominent (in order of prominence) in roadside and veld (natural and modified) habitats were: Acacia cyclops, A. saligna and A. mearnsii. The most prominent species (in order of prominence) in streambank habitats were: A. mearnsii, A. saligna and Populus x canescens.
