| description:
|
Water mimosa is native to Mexico, Central America and northern parts of South America. Water mimosa is an aquatic, nitrogen-fixing legume that releases nitrogen into water bodies. This can lead to increased algal blooms and encourage growth of other weeds such as water hyacinth, water lettuce and salvinia. Excess nitrogen also affects water quality and increases water-treatment costs. Water mimosa can grow on damp soil or as thick mats on water. It is found in scattered sites across Queensland. |
