Invasive Species

Invasive species are species that are introduced to a different non-native environment. This is mainly done by humans accidentally introducing these non-native species by lack of care in transportation. Invasive species invade and take the resources (nutrients, water, space) of the native species who are not adapted to defend against the non-native species. These invasive species go into a period of exponential growth due to no predators challenging there populations. The effects that invasive species puts on an ecosystem,  can drastically change the local food webs. Examples such as killing native species, taking over specific food chains because of no natural predators, and invasive species will out compete native species for resources. Things that can be done to prevent invasive species outbreak is to never let loose pets of any sort into the environment, restrictions on transported goods, clean boats before moving to a different body of water, and clean objects such as kicking gear when moving from place to place. If all these are in place and people follow them then invasive species will vanish from the map.
