Kudzu is an invasive plant species in the United States, introduced from Asia with devastating environmental consequences, earning it the nickname "the vine that ate the South". It has been spreading rapidly in the Southern United States, "easily outpacing the use of herbicide, spraying, and mowing, as well increasing the costs of these controls by $6 million annually". Estimates of the vine's spread vary, from the United States Forest Service's 2015 estimate of 2,500 acres (1,000 ha; 10 km2) per year to the Department of Agriculture's estimate of as much as 150,000 acres (61,000 ha; 610 km2) annually.

  • アメリカ合衆国におけるクズ(アメリカがっしゅうこくにおけるクズ)は、侵略的外来種として広く認知されている。同種はアメリカ南部地域において年間150,000エーカー (610 km2)の割合で生息域を広げており、あまりの成長の早さから除草剤の散布や刈り取りではほとんど食い止めることが出来ず、そのうえ除草にかかる費用は毎年600万ドルずつ増えつつある、と言われている。しかしこれには異論もあり、は年間2,500エーカー (10 km2)であるとの見積もりを発表している。 クズの移入はアメリカ合衆国の環境に重大な影響を与えており、「南部を飲み込んだ蔓(Vine that ate the South)」の異称で呼ばれることもある。 (ja)
