What Is Underbrush?
Underbrush refers to the layer of vegetation that grows beneath the main canopy of a forest, comprising various plants such as ferns, shrubs, and small trees. Originating from wind-blown seeds, animal activities, and the decomposition of leaf litter, underbrush can be detrimental to land development projects. In East Texas, several invasive species significantly impact local ecosystems by blocking sunlight, hindering the growth of native plants, and reducing biodiversity.
- Chinese Tallow Tree (Triadica sebifera) – This tree grows rapidly and displaces native species, altering habitats and reducing biodiversity. It’s known for its ability to dominate an area quickly.
- Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) – A vine that spreads quickly, it smothers native plants and trees by enveloping them, preventing them from receiving adequate sunlight.
- Giant Salvinia (Salvinia molesta) – A free-floating fern that forms dense mats on the surfaces of water bodies, blocking sunlight, depleting oxygen levels in the water, and negatively affecting aquatic life.
- Kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata) – Often referred to as “the vine that ate the South,” kudzu grows extremely fast and can cover trees, shrubs, and entire areas, blocking light and killing plants by severe shading.
- Cogongrass (Imperata cylindrica) – This grass forms dense stands that are highly flammable, increasing the risk of wildfires. It’s tough and can outcompete native vegetation, leading to reduced biodiversity.
