13.03 Socio-economic impact of the species See above Overall assessment 14. Identification of the endangered area is a frost-sensitive free-floating species. The southern countries within the EPPO Salvinia molesta region provide suitable climatic conditions for the plant. This includes regions in which the water bodies are not enclosed in ice during the winter months. Furthermore, thermal waters in other EPPO countries provide potential habitats for Salvinia molesta. is capable of establishing in the Mediterranean biogeographical region. The Salvinia molesta species is capable of limited establishment in small areas of the Black Sea and Atlantic biogeographical regions. Additionally, areas around the Adriatic Sea have the potential for establishment (see appendix 1). Significant impact be expected in man-made water bodies. Habitats within the endangered area include slow moving rivers, canals, irrigation and drainage systems, lakes and reservoirs which are widespread within the EPPO region. 15. Climate change 15.01.
