28 sie 2018 · Giant hogweed also poses a threat to human health, as all parts of the plant contain furanocoumarins, a harmful class of chemicals that cause phytodermatitis following skin contact with the plant’s sap. This hypersensitivity to ultraviolet light can result in rashes and blistering.
3 lis 2021 · Giant hogweed is a globally invasive plant that can cause a phototoxic reaction which can cause burns and hyperpigmentation. As a result, the species can have large economic costs and human health impacts where high plant densities and high human densities overlap.
4 paź 2021 · This study assessed the effect of giant hogweed invasion on the communities of plants and soil nematodes in the riparian habitat. We found that invasion by H. mantegazzianum increased soil pH, decreased carbon and nitrogen content, reduced the number and coverage of the native plant species, and influenced nematode communities and their structures.

26 lut 2019 · Giant hogweed: limit its proliferation in order to reduce risks to human health and the environment. Placed on the European Union's list of invasive species of concern, giant hogweed presents risks both to the flora of the environments it colonises and to human health.
15 cze 2022 · Heracleum mantegazzianum Sommier & Levier (Giant hogweed) has spread across Europe after its introduction as an ornamental from the native range in the Western Greater Caucasus. In addition to its invasive capability, H. mantegazzianum reduces the alpha diversity of native species in the non-native range and can cause second-degree burns when ...
The reviewed research showed that the complex physicochemical properties of hogweeds tissues and secretions significantly affected insects, aphids, ants, nematodes, fungi, soil microorganisms, plant communities, birds, and many other components of the ecosystems.
