Caption

Dr Daniel Montesinos is a Senior Research Fellow at the Australian Tropical Herbarium at James Cook University in Cairns. He is studying weeds to better understand (among other things) how they might respond to climate change. He said most invasive plants are characterised by their rapid pace when it comes to taking up nutrients, growing, and reproducing - and they're even faster in the regions they invade.
