The Topic: Invasive Species Easier - Invasive species occur outside their natural range. They are nonnative plants and animals that harm or endanger native plants and animals or other aspects of biodiversity. Alien invasive species occur in all groups of plants and animals. They include competitors, predators, pathogens and parasites. They have invaded almost every type of native ecosystem and caused hundreds of extinctions. Harder - Whether called invasive, nonnative, alien, exotic, or non indigenous; introduced species are those life forms that have evolved elsewhere and been purposely or accidentally moved to a new location. Some have invaded habitats by themselves (e.g., migrating wildlife, plants, and animals rafting on floating debris); however, human exploration, colonization, and commercial trade have dramatically increased the diversity, scale, and impact of the invasions. Introduced species often find no natural enemies in their new habitat and therefore spread quickly and easily. Invasive species are a real threat to our environment and economy. Economic costs of nonnative species invasions in the United States reach billions of dollars each year. These biological invasions produce severe, often irreversible impacts on agriculture, recreation, and natural resources. Invasive species threaten biodiversity, habitat quality, and ecosystem function. They are the second greatest threat to native species, behind habitat destruction. They have contributed to the decline of over forty percent of U.S. endangered and threatened species. Introduced species also present an ever-increasing threat to food and fiber production.

Canada thistle and yellow toadflax spread by creeping roots. Invasive plants have many characteristics that allow them to compete with, and often dominate, native vegetation. They grow rapidly, mature early and effectively spread seeds that can survive a long time in the soil. Their profuse vegetative reproduction produces dense shade, which along with toxins suppresses the growth of their competitors. Invasive plants often lack predators, and can hybridize or cross-pollinate with local plants, compromising the genetic makeup of native species. They easily create monocultures in the under story, preventing the establishment and growth of seedling trees. Some invasive plants even change ecosystems by utilizing large amounts of water and nutrients, altering soil and water resources and increasing fire frequency. Through these and other ways, invasive plants reduce the value of pasture and rangeland for livestock production.

C atalog of I nvasive P lant S pecies of the U nited S tates During the past decade, awareness has been raised of the economic and ecological damage that is caused by invasive plants in the United States. Invasive plants have been introduced into the United States from other countries and have rapidly spread throughout the nation's cropland and ecological communities. These plants lack natural herbivores and parasites to limit their population size and are quickly able to dominate their new habitats. Every state has been affected by invasive species, costing the United States billions of dollars annually in agricultural losses and control measures. Thousands of plants have been introduced into the United States, but not all of them have become aggressive invaders. Common attributes of invasive species include rapid growth, short life-cycles (the ability to germinate, grow, flower, and produce seeds rapidly), and abundant seed production. These attributes allow these plants to displace native species and disrupt the normal functioning of ecosystems. Wildlife that depends on native plants for food and shelter are also adversely affected. Invasive plants are a threat to biodiversity and can be found in nature preserves across the world. The Florida Everglades has already lost hundreds of thousands of acres to the invasive melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia), resulting in huge losses of native plant and animal biodiversity. Scientists fear that this reduction in biodiversity can lead to the homogenization of the world's flora and the extinction of many native plant species.

But when a student at the University of Washington's Center for Urban Horticulture grew 19 packets of wildflower seed mixes marketed in the Pacific Northwest, she found that each contained anywhere from three to 13 invasive species, and eight had seeds for plants considered noxious weeds in at least one state or Canadian province.
