About The Event
Understanding Invasive Plants
Invasive plants are non-native species that spread aggressively in new environments, often causing harm to local ecosystems, agriculture, and human health. They can outcompete native flora for resources, disrupt habitats, and diminish biodiversity.
Impacts of Invasive Plants
Biodiversity Loss: Invasive species can lead to a decline in native species, reducing biodiversity.
Altered Ecosystems: They can change soil chemistry, water availability, and light conditions, affecting the entire ecosystem.
Economic Costs: Invasive plants can impact agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, leading to significant economic losses.
