A. longifolia produces a large number of seeds that are dispersed by water and soil (Wilgen et al., 2004). These seeds can germinate in large numbers after removal of the canopy, repopulating the cleared areas and impeding the recovery of ecosystems.

Our study aims to isolate a wider consortium of bacteria harboured in nodules, including both nitrogen and non-nitrogen fixers. Orchard and Maslin (2003) proposed the retypification of the genus from Acacia scorpioides (L.) W.F. 2009). In this country, the species has filled the small tree/large shrub niche.

In South Africa, Samways and Taylor (2004) report that A. longifolia is a principal threat to globally red-listed dragonflies (Odonata) in the southwest of the country, due to the dense canopy shading out the dragonflies habitat and suppressing grasses and bushes which are perching and oviposition sites for the threatened species.A.

Acacia longifolia is a species of Acacia native to southeastern Australia, from the extreme southeast of Queensland, eastern New South Wales, eastern and southern Victoria, and southeastern South Australia.Common names for it include long-leaved wattle, acacia trinervis, aroma doble, golden wattle, coast wattle, sallow wattle and Sydney golden wattle. Spreading, tangled, rarely erect shrub to 5 m high and 15 m or more wide. Fruiting in South Africa: November-December.

The Australasian Virtual Herbarium (AVH) is an online resource that provides immediate access to the wealth of plant specimen information held by Australian herbaria. (2011) discuss how the eradication of A. longifolia in the Portuguese dune ecosystems is an unrealistic goal, because the invasions are extensive, persistent, and produce substantial seedbanks. A. longifolia reduces water resources by increasing evapotranspiration (Wilgen et al., 2004).

However, this view has not been adopted in a number of more recent works, notably Whibley and Symon (1992) and Tame (1992). The two varieties or subspecies have a number of morphological differences. The results suggest the introduction of exotic bradyrhizobia with the plant. Physical and Other: Physical management techniques used on A. longifolia include felling, felling followed by herbicide application on stumps, felling, ringbarking and prescribed burning.

It was primarily introduced into these areas to stabilise sand dunes and as an ornamental. It is hardy down to -6°C (PROTA, 2015). 37 (1-3), 115-135. Although there is substantial documented information about its spread and damage to ecosystems and biodiversity (Marchante et al., 2008; Werner et al., 2010) and being included in invasive lists, A. longifolia is still sold by nurseries and Internet sites as a desirable ornamental to be used on slopes, for screens and as a windbreak. 2001; Marchante et al. Proposal to conserve the name Acacia Mill. Will tolerate strong winds, but not maritime exposure. 2005). Pods mostly coiled or contorted. A. longifolia is one of the plants featured in the Invasive Plants of Portugal (2015) internet site. Native to the South-eastern coast of Australia, it has naturalised in many other places and has become invasive in other parts of Australia (Victoria, New South Wales), in New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, Portugal and Brazil. 2. http://worldwidewattle.com, Acevedo-Rodríguez P, Strong M T, 2012.

As resprouting can occur after felling (although not always), a combination of these techniques is sometimes used (Galatowitsch & Richardson 2005; Hicks et al. Foret Mediterraneenne, 11(2):113-120, Weeds of Australia, 2015. Mutualisms are not constraining cross-continental invasion success of Acacia species within Australia. The above-ground dominance of A. longifolia also exists below ground with the nodule forming bacteria Bradyrhizobia, which disrupts the native legume–rhizobia symbiosis (Rodríguez-Echeverría, 2010). (2012) and it is not listed in the California Invasive Plant Inventory (California Invasive Plant Council, 2016). Flora of Australia, 2015. Apis mellifera is reported as one of the pollinators. Dennill and Donnelly (1991) report two insects used as biological controls for A. longifolia in South Africa: Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae, a wasp which which produces galls that prevent the development of the inflorescences and suppress the vegetative growth, and Melanterius ventralis, a weevil which feeds on the seeds.

Soil recovery after removal of the N2-fixing invasive Acacia longifolia: consequences for ecosystem restoration. Inflorescences usually without peduncles. Variety longifolia occurs as a tall shrub or small tree up to 10 m tall, usually with relatively thin, linear-lanceolate phyllodes 6-15 cm long and 3-15 mm wide. (1978) and Pedley (1978), suggested that var. (2003b) provide a detailed account of the history of the nomenclature and classification of the genus. Manaaki Whenua-Landcare Research and the University of The species produces an increase in plant cover, decreasing light available to understory plants, thus decreasing plant diversity and inhibiting the regeneration of native species. It has a prolific seed production, and fast growth, facilitating its spread in suitable habitats (Rodríguez-Echevarria, 2010; Marchante et al., 2011). Wallingford, UK: CABI, CABI, Undated b.

PROTA4U web database., [ed. http://invasoras.pt/en/, Invasive Species South Africa, 2016. A. longifolia is similar to A. obtusifolia, but lacks resinous margins on the phyllodes and usually flowers during spring (Flora of Australia, 2015). The related acacia species A. sophorae is often mistaken for A. longifolia, as they appear similar. The incidence of parasitism in Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae (Froggatt) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), a gall-forming biological control agent of Acacia longifolia (Andr.) Targeting these areas is more manageable, which should reduce the abundance of the invader and restore some of the ecosystem.Control, Physical/mechanical control Belowground mutualists and the invasive ability of Acacia longifolia in coastal dunes of Portugal. 41 (6), 480-489. http://www.publish.csiro.au/nid/145/aid/112.htm DOI:10.1071/WR14078, Weeds of Australia, 2015.

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany, 98:1192 pp. (2011a) report that the species contributes 42% of the evapotranspiration in pine forests, impacting the hydrological and carbon cycles of the forest.

Post-clearing recovery of coastal dunes invaded by Acacia longifolia: is duration of invasion relevant for management success? http://www.tropicos.org/, Moll EJ, Trinder-Smith T, 1992. Acacia colei is a perennial bush or tree native to Australia and southern Asia. Seeds can handle high salinity, which contributes to its invasive ability in sand dunes (Morais et al., 2012a, b). It can occasionally get up to 148 ft. (45 m) tall. In California, A. longifolia is reported to be an important landscape plant and also to have economic potential as a host and refuge for beneficial insects (Dreistadt and Hagen, 1994).

Its pods are more or less straight and 3-6 mm wide. As a legume, symbiosis is determinant for adaptation. A. longifolia is a polycarpic species, producing seeds annually throughout its life. Because of its high usage of water resources, A. longifolia increases the drought vulnerability on the colonized sites, negatively impacting the native flora (Marchante et al., 2009). http://www.prota4u.info, Rascher KG, Grosse-Stoltenberg A, Máguas C, Meira Neto JAA, Werner C, 2011. (2010) also propose containment as the strategy for older thickets, removing plants in the surrounding areas, where new invasions occur.
