Invasive Plant Species

Invasive plant species are non-native plants that spread rapidly in new environments, often causing harm to local ecosystems. They can outcompete native plants for resources like sunlight, water, and nutrients, leading to a decline in biodiversity. Additionally, invasive plants can disrupt habitats, alter soil chemistry, and affect wildlife that depends on native species. Their rapid growth can make them difficult to manage and control, which is why understanding and addressing their presence is crucial for protecting native ecosystems and the overall health of the environment.
