塱原清除薇甘菊活動 Mikania Removal Activity in LV

塱原清除薇甘菊活動 Mikania Removal Activity in LV

薇甘菊簡介
薇甘菊 (Mikania micrantha) 屬菊科多年生的入侵種攀緣植物,會攀附在其他植物及樹冠上,以吸取更多陽光。 薇甘菊的葉和莖生長得十分厚密,故此被它覆蓋的植物很多時都會因未能吸取足夠 陽光而導致生長緩慢甚至死亡。由於薇甘菊生長速度快,繁殖力強,所以有一分鐘蔓延一英里的稱號。

Introduction of Mikania
Mikania (Mikania micrantha), belongs to the family Compositae, is an exotic perennial climber. It climbs up other plants and to the canopy for sunlight. The leaves and stems of Mikania cover up the host plants which then receive little sunlight and consequently the growth of host plants are affected. Mikania grows very fast and reproduces rapidly, therefore it is also named “mile-a-minute weed”.
