tailieunhanh - Invasive Plants and Forest Ecosystems

Plant species that invade an alien area and outgrow the native vegetation, establishing and increasing their own territory, often lead to negative economic, environmental, and social impacts. Even native species can behave like invasive species by their exponential spread. Similarly, not all non-native species are invasive. Many alien invasive species, however, do threaten the health and integrity of our terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. As the human population explodes and trade becomes increasingly globalized, the transboundary movement of species from their places of origin to alien regions is escalating and is expected to continue so in the coming decades
