As blackberry grows in thickets, forming a dense canopy, few plants can successfully compete. The weed invades native bushland, reduces the carrying capacity of grazing land and also provides ideal habitat for rabbits and foxes. Blackberries usually invade disturbed areas, particularly where vegetation has been cleared.
Birds and animals (such as foxes) are attracted to the fruit and are responsible for spreading the seeds over wide areas. Seeds are also distributed by water along creeks, gullies and rivers. Map 1. Distribution Environmental Impacts
