    Kudzu -- Invasive Plant 'Increases Ozone Pollution' Empty Kudzu -- Invasive Plant 'Increases Ozone Pollution'

    A fast growing invasive plant spreading through south-eastern US has the potential to increase low-level ozone pollution levels, a study has warned.

    Researchers found that nitric oxide (NO) emissions, a component in the formation of ozone, doubled in soils where the invasive kudzu was present.

    The deep-rooted vine, native to Asia, was introduced in the early 20th Century to help control soil erosion.

    The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

    I think I have seen this plant on the riverbank that goes through my property. I thought it was called groundnut. Beautiful burgundy/purple flowers that looked like pea blossoms. I will have to check it out because I thought the flowers were lovely and transplanted a couple of plants to my garden.
