         General Impact

    Acanthus mollis can form dense infestations under forest canopies, which supresses growth and regeneration of native plants species. Although found only in natural ecosystems in Australia, it is thought that A. mollis could become an agricultural pest in several states (ARPS 2007-2012; Groves et al. 2003; NPPA 2008).
