Ecology and management of invasive plants in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctic regions: evidence and synthesis from Macquarie Island Plant Ecology and Diversity, 2022 (Ref: 17224)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Background … The Antarctic is an extreme environment for plants. Several invasive plant species, however, have invaded the sub-Antarctic Southern Ocean islands and increasingly threaten the vulnerability of maritime and continental Antarctica, particularly with changes in climate.

Ecology and management of invasive Poa annua on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island XXXIII SCAR Biennial meeting and open science conference, Auckland, New Zealand, 25-28 August 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15506)
Category 3: Poster

Poa annua is the most widespread alien species in the sub-Antarctic, occurring on all major island groups and is invasive and spreading on the Antarctic Peninsula. P. annua colonises areas disturbed by human activity, seal wallows, penguin rookeries and glacial moraines.

Management of invasive Poa annua in the sub-Antarctic wilderness of Macquarie Island. 19th Australasian Weeds Conference, Hobart, Australia, 1-4 September 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15507)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Poa annua L. is the most widespread weed in the sub-Antarctic, present on all major island groups and on the Antarctic Peninsula. Its ability to withstand heavy grazing has enabled it to spread significantly on islands with introduced herbivores.

Monitoring the floral development of two alien vascular plants (Poa annua and Cerastium fontanum) along an altitudinal gradient on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island XXXIII SCAR Biennial meeting and open science conference, Auckland, New Zealand, 25-28 August 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15508)
Category 3: Poster

Floral development of two alien species (Cerastium fontanum, Poa annua) were monitored through the summer of 2013/14 at three different altitudinal sites (coastal, hillside and plateau) on the North eastern end of sub-Antarctica Macquarie Island.

Ecology and management of invasive Poa annua in the sub-Antarctic. Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15289)
Category 3: Poster

Poa annua is a non-native grass found in Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic. It has a restricted distribution on Heard Island but is common and widespread on Macquarie Island, both World Heritage Areas.

Category 3: Verbal presentation

The sub-Antarctic islands are some of the least inhabited and most protected ecosystems in the world. Due to their isolation and low human visitation they have escaped the worst effects of alien plant invasion.
