Given the threat posed by the spread of invasive plant species, there is an urgent need to develop effective methods for eradication and management of this type of biomass. Invasive plant species were mostly introduced as ornamental or honey-bearing plants, which quickly spread from parks and plantations to the surrounding areas and started to take over new areas. Some of these species are now forming extensive stands, most often along watercourses, roads, railways, in abandoned areas, but also encroaching on native plant communities (habitats). In the case of their mass spread, they significantly change the character of habitats, threaten native plant species and create homogeneous monocenoses. The project addresses the current environmental problems associated with invasive plants, enhances the protection and conservation of nature and biodiversity, and contributes to energy objectives and strategies, making it a relevant tool in the fight against climate change.
