About the guide
Subterranean Cape sedge is on the Alert List for Environmental Weeds, a list of 28 non-native plants that threaten biodiversity and cause other environmental damage. Although only in the early stages of establishment, these weeds have the potential to seriously degrade Australia's ecosystems.
The earliest record of subterranean Cape sedge as a naturalised plant in Australia was of a population found in a municipal reserve near Koonung Creek in North Balwyn, Melbourne in 1989. As an environmental weed, it can displace other vegetation and thus reduce the availability of habitat for native plants and animals, leading to a loss of biodiversity.
