Alien: Naturalized invasive. Widespread - typical habitats are phrygana & maquis.
Its presence in protected areas such as Akrotiri salt marsh (RAMSAR site) has been clearly related to alterations of indigenous plants’ species composition, the displacement of marsh and meadow species with specific habitat requirements as well as habitat and biodiversity loss (Christodoulou 2003).
Also providing honey.
Planted for firewood, and previously controlled through harvesting for that purpose. Also used to reforest traditionally garigue/phrygana and to provide green cover along roads and prevent erosion.
