Question
which of the following best describes an invasive species?
non - native species introduced to an area ultimately harming the ecosystem or human health
native plants or animals which grow at an exceptionally fast rate
native or non - native species found in nearly every terrestrial area
native plants which take up large areas of space and do not allow for other species to spread
An invasive species is a non - native species that is introduced to a new area and causes harm to the ecosystem, economy, or human health. Native species, regardless of growth rate or space - occupation, are not invasive. Species found in many terrestrial areas are not necessarily invasive if they do not cause harm.
