Invasive plant species significantly impact native ecosystems by outcompeting indigenous plants for resources such as water, light, and nutrients. They can alter soil chemistry, disrupt local food webs, and decrease biodiversity by pushing out native species. Invasive plants often reproduce rapidly and adapt well to new environments, making control challenging. Their presence can lead to ecological imbalances, where native habitats are replaced with monocultures dominated by few invasive species. Understanding their impact is crucial for developing effective management and restoration strategies to protect native ecosystems.
