RE: Introduced species that became invasive

in #nature8 years ago

Very nice and interesting reading!

An invasive species is one that arrives, whether deliberately or inadvertently with human assistance, in a habitat it had not previously occupied, then establishes a population, reproduces and spreads widely beyond the initial point of introduction.

And it will drastically remodel the ecosystem too, sometimes in a good way, sometimes (often) in a bad way. Especially for trees that could just pump all the water resources.

Sort:  

Thanks for your comment and support! An invasive species usually have negative impacts ( I don't remember any with a positive impact, guess it is always a question of perspective).

Usually one needs to wait for one or two generations to see the minds changing. We need a decent time scale to be able to gauge the damages.

You are basically saying that I will be very (very) old till I first see some mind changing. That would be a "bless"!

I should have indeed added a 'hopefully' there :)
