Abstracts

Heracleum sosnowskyi is an invasive plant posing serious ecological and health risks in Europe. This study analyzes its biology, toxic properties, invasion history, and rapid spread at the Kovilovo site (Serbia) from 2017-2025. Field surveys and drone monitoring revealed a rapid expansion from a small population to several tens of hectares, highlighting high invasion potential and the urgent need for coordinated control measures.
