| Résumé : |
Common ragweed Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (Asteraceae) is an annual species, native to North America, which has been introduced and subsequently naturalized in many countries including a large part of Europe. It’s highly allergenic pollen causes hayfever, asthma and other reactions; and it is a significant crop weed. These harmful effects, combined with its potential for rapid spread has caused ragweed to be considered among the most dangerous invasive non‐native species in Europe1. The European Commission2 has identified the species as a significant problem to many Member States of the EU and a very serious threat to others; and that, whilst there is good information available on the health effects of A. artemisiifolia, there is a gap in the knowledge on the direct and indirect effects on the wider environment and economic sectors. In order to advance knowledge about ragweed in Europe and to aid planning for future actions, the European Commission let this project titled: “Assessing and controlling the spread and the effects of common ragweed in Europe (ENV.B.2/ETU/2010/0037)”. This project has the aim to synthesise and systematically review information, highlight knowledge gaps and utilise modern modelling methods to allow: an understanding of the current extent of ragweed infestation in Europe; the development of measures to control ragweed spread and introduction (now and in future climates); economic, social and environmental quantification of direct and indirect harmful effects in all sectors; and the dissemination of accurate and up‐to‐date scientifically‐based evidence to stakeholders. |
