一般影響
瓊斯(1997)報告說亞洲濱棗(Colubrina asiatica)會產生幾英尺厚的複雜莖墊,會直接覆蓋或遮蔭,影響下面的植被。出現在佛羅里達州海岸的熱帶硬木林的亞洲濱棗,特別受到關注,因為此獨特的自然棲息地有一些稀有的植物,包括許多佛羅里達州的受脅和瀕危物種。被亞洲濱棗侵襲的地方,會嚴重減少生物多樣性,很少植物(包括苗木的植物本身)可以在這種情況下持續存活。高地的原生熱帶硬木和Conocarpus erectus特別容易受到傷害。對自然區域的影響,包括改變族群組成和結構,削弱的自然棲息地的野生動物,破壞物種的關係和相互作用,以及干擾生態和地質過程,例如水和養分循環。
地點特有的影響:Caribbean Sea (Atlantic Ocean) 其他: Jones (1997) states that sites infested by Colubrina asiatica experience a great reduction in biological diversity and its impacts to natural areas include alterations of community composition and structure, diminishment of natural habitats for native wildlife, and disruption of species relationships and interactions. 改變營養機制: Jones (1997) states that sites infested by Colubrina asiatica experience an interference with ecological and geological processes, such as water and nutrient cycling. 競爭: Colubrina asiatica produces a thick mat of tangled stems that can be several feet thick, impacting the underlying vegetation by growing on it or shading it out (Jones, 1997). Grand Cayman (Cayman Islands) 競爭: Colubrina asiatica is invasive in beach ridges and roadsides, forming dense monospecific stands excluding native vegetation (Burton, 2003 in Varnham, 2006). Mexico 其他: Jones (1997) states that sites infested by Colubrina asiatica experience a great reduction in biological diversity and its impacts to natural areas include alterations of community composition and structure, diminishment of natural habitats for native wildlife, and disruption of species relationships and interactions. 改變營養機制: Jones (1997) states that sites infested by Colubrina asiatica experience an interference with ecological and geological processes, such as water and nutrient cycling. 競爭: C. asiatica produces a thick mat of tangled stems that can be several feet thick, impacting the underlying vegetation by growing on it or shading it out (Jones, 1997). Florida (USA) (United States (USA)) 其他: Jones (1997) states that sites infested by Colubrina asiatica experience a great reduction in biological diversity and its impacts to natural areas include alterations of community composition and structure, diminishment of natural habitats for native wildlife, and disruption of species relationships and interactions. 改變營養機制: Jones (1997) states that sites infested by Colubrina asiatica experience an interference with ecological and geological processes, such as water and nutrient cycling. 競爭: Jones (1997) reports that Colubrina asiatica produces a thick mat of tangled stems that can be several feet thick, impacting the underlying vegetation by growing on it or shading it out. Its occurrence in Florida’s coastal tropical hardwood forests is of special concern due to the uniqueness of this habitat and the rarity of some of its constituent plant species, including a number of Florida State-listed threatened and endangered species, such as West Indian mahogany, Florida thatch palm, wild cinnamon, manchineel, prickly-pear and dildo cacti, and a number of bromeliads and orchids.
