Prosopis Juliflora, commonly known as mesquite or honey locust, is a thorny shrub or tree with both beneficial and detrimental characteristics. Known for its ability to reclaim degraded land and improve soil quality, it is also one of the world’s most invasive plant species, aggressively colonising areas and displacing native vegetation. It has been declared a noxious weed in several countries. This is a compendious volume, studying the plant and its worldwide incidence from several aspects and reviewing the current state of research (including its potential use as a biofuel).
