Due to their rapid proliferation, persistence and tolerance of disturbance, some creeping perennial herbs have become invasive and harmful weeds in natural and semi-natural ecosystems, as well as in production systems.

As agricultural weeds, they primarily grow in light-rich environments. The dicotyledonous Aegopodium podagraria L. (Ground elder) is a shade-tolerant
