bioinvasion

Bioinvasion refers to the introduction of non-native species into new environments where they do not naturally occur. This usually happens through human activities like trade, travel, or agriculture. Once established, these invasive species can spread rapidly, often outcompeting or harming native plants and animals. This disruption can lead to ecological imbalance, loss of biodiversity, and economic consequences, such as damage to fisheries or agriculture. Managing bioinvasion involves preventing the spread of invasive species and controlling their populations to protect native ecosystems.
