This map of the potential distribution of Nodding thistle has been produced from CLIMATEŽ modelling overlayed with: Overlays used Land Use: Pasture irrigated Pasture dryland Bromus and Stipa dominant vegetation Colours indicate possibility of Carduus nutans infesting these areas Red = Very High Orange = High Light Green = Medium Dark Green = Likely | |
In the non-coloured areas the plant is unlikely to establish as the climate, soil or landuse is not presently suitable. Further information on mapping potential distribution of weeds |
