Potential Distribution of Scotch thistle (Onopordum acanthium) in Victoria (Nox)

  1. Potential Distribution of Scotch thistle (Onopordum acanthium) in Victoria (Nox)

This map of the potential distribution of Scotch thistle has been produced from CLIMATEŽ modelling overlayed with:

Overlays used

Land use: Pasture irrigated and dryland

Rainfall: Between 450 and 900 mm

Colours indicate possibility of O. acanthium 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.
