Distribution and ecology of wild lettuces Lactuca serriola L. and Lactuca virosa L. in central Chile by Lebeda, Aleš, Křístková, Eva, Khoury, Colin K., Carver, Dan, Sosa, Christian C.

“…Species succession in different elevational gradients was observed along three roads: R 60 (Los Andes – Portillo), G-27 (Cajón Maipú), and 115 (Lago Colbún – Lago del Maule). These observations indicate that: i) both allochthonous (Euroasian) wild Lactuca species occur and are able to regenerate in central Chile; ii) L. serriola forms dense populations in urbanized areas; iii) both species can expand along transport corridors to high elevations; iv) the spread of L. virosa and persistence of dense populations in elevations above 2,000 m a.s.l. prove the invasiveness of this species in extreme climates; v) both species should be monitored (and treated) both in urbanized and agricultural areas, as well as in unique local mountainous areas.…”
