Lantana (Lantana camara L.) is a highly aggressive
exotic environmental weed that is well established
throughout eastern Australia and is reportedly able
to displace native vegetation under a range of
conditions. Whether lantana is able to displace
native vegetation in the absence of anthropogenic
disturbance is subject of some disagreement in the
literature. The question remains, however, as to what
is the future for the Gold Coast hinterland
rainforests in the face of invasion by lantana?
This study is mainly directed at addressing the
dynamics at the lantana/rainforest interface,
especially lantanas capacity to invade and ability to
compete with the wetter subtropical rainforests of
the MacPherson Ranges of southeast Queensland, where
the studies are centered on the Springbrook Plateau
and the Springbrook and Lamington National Parks.
The aims of this research are to determine: whether
lantana can displace rainforest; whether rainforest
can reclaim the space lost to lantana; and what are
the mechanisms and processes involved.
