Wild carrot, also known as Daucus carota, is commonly found growing in several specific environments.
Based on habitat information, this species is known to invade and thrive in disturbed or open areas.
Typical Wild Carrot Habitats
Wild carrot's ability to establish itself strongly means it is often found in areas where competition from native plants might be reduced or where the soil has been disrupted.
According to habitat information, wild carrot invades:
- Pastures: Open grassy areas used for grazing livestock.
- Old Fields: Areas previously cultivated that have been abandoned and are undergoing natural succession.
- Prairies: Large, open areas of grassland.
- Railroad Waysides: The areas immediately alongside railway tracks.
- Road Sides: The edges of roads and highways.
These locations share characteristics like open sunlight, potentially disturbed soil, and less dense vegetation, making them suitable for wild carrot's growth and spread.
