D34 Plant invasion in colline and lowland eu- and mesotrophic meadows

D34 - Colline and lowland eu- and mesotrophic meadows:

One-third of its area is threatened by plant invasion. Stands in the south-western part of the country and along the Tisza river are the most highly endangered. Although many alien species can occur in this habitat, the most important ones are goldenrod species (Solidago spp.) and false indigo (Amorpha fruticosa). The former prefers the more humid climate, while the latter is most abundant along the Tisza river.
