Lupines have a remarkable <strong>lotus effect<\/strong>: Their finely hairy leaves collect water droplets, but at the same time store them in such a way that the leaves do not bend over &#8211; an adaptation that preserves the plant structure when it rains. However, these robust butterfly flowers, which can also be seen as ornamental plants or wild plants in home gardens or in the wild, are a plant that experts view with mixed feelings, because on the one hand they have a positive ecological significance, but on the other hand they are also considered an <strong>invasive species<\/strong> in Switzerland and Germany, for example.<\/p>\n<p>Lupines play a key role as <strong>nitrogen collectors<\/strong>: in symbiosis with nodule bacteria (e.g. <em>Rhizobium<\/em>), they convert nitrogen from the air in their roots and accumulate it in the soil &#8211; a significant benefit both for the lupine itself and for neighboring plant species. As <strong>pioneer plants<\/strong>, they often colonise disturbed or nutrient-poor sites &#8211; such as embankments, clearings or ground along paths &#8211; and thus promote succession, i.e. the natural development of vegetation structures.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_four_fifth-e8bcfb0dd38e4ffbb23d71c76efe0ae8\">\n@keyframes av_boxShadowEffect_av-av_four_fifth-e8bcfb0dd38e4ffbb23d71c76efe0ae8-column {\n0%   { box-shadow:  0 0 0 0 #ededed;

It often overgrows typical local vegetation, displaces native species and can therefore affect local biodiversity. While it can be found outside golf courses, particularly on road and railroad embankments or forest edges, it can be seen on golf courses in rough areas. Due to its attractive flowering, it is often left standing there. However, biodiversity experts recommend exactly the opposite: if lupines develop on the golf course, they should be considered an invasive species and removed by the greenkeeping team.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/biodiversity-lexicon-h-for-heather\/<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box av-2mu5xc-be51418eee8367333fa093228d957c81 av-social-sharing-box-default  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-social-sharing-box-fullwidth'><div class=\"av-share-box\"><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>Share entry<\/h5><ul class=\"av-share-box-list noLightbox\"><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/golfsustainable-biodiversity-lexicon-lupine\/&#038;t=Biodiversity%20lexicon%3A%20L%20for%20lupin' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on X\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Biodiversity%20lexicon%3A%20L%20for%20lupin&#038;url=https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/?p=30163' data-av_icon='\ue932' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on X'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on X<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-whatsapp avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on WhatsApp\" href='https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/golfsustainable-biodiversity-lexicon-lupine\/' data-av_icon='\uf232' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on WhatsApp'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-pinterest avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Pinterest\" href='https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgolfsustainable.com%2Fen%2Fgolfsustainable-biodiversity-lexicon-lupine%2F&#038;description=Biodiversity%20lexicon%3A%20L%20for%20lupin&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fgolfsustainable.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F05%2FF-6-705x397.jpg' data-av_icon='\ue8f8' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Pinterest'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn\" href='https:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;title=Biodiversity%20lexicon%3A%20L%20for%20lupin&#038;url=https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/golfsustainable-biodiversity-lexicon-lupine\/' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on LinkedIn'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail avia_social_iconfont' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href='mailto:?subject=Biodiversity%20lexicon%3A%20L%20for%20lupin&#038;body=https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/golfsustainable-biodiversity-lexicon-lupine\/' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30916,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[764,755,3178],"tags":[3229,3177,3236,3350],"class_list":["post-30163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biodiversity","category-uncategorized","category-special-biodiversity-lexicon","tag-biodiversitaet-en","tag-biodiversity-lexicon","tag-grassland","tag-lupine-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Biodiversity lexicon: L for lupin - Golf Sustainable<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"At first glance, lupins are an attractive ornamental plant.
