Thistle #Carduus #acanthoides is #native from Southern/Central #Europe to China and is a #neozoan i.a. in #NorthAmerica. It prefers moist, nitrogen-rich #soils, such as on #Teufelsberg #Berlin, and is #pollinated by bees/bumblebees and dispersed by the wind. E. S. J. Rauschert et al. (2015) studied the plants around it in #Pennsylvania (USA) and found that it affects the #speciescommunities.
