What are they and why do they matter?
Invasive Species take over everything! Technically speaking, they are plants and animals that did not co-evolve within the ecosystem they are occupying. They tend to be more competitive, aggressive and greedy in their quest for moisture and nutrients. They crowd out slower growing natives, usurp niches, have the ability to type convert an ecosystem into a mono-culture, and generally do not participate in the co-existent, sometimes symbiotic relationships between native plants and animals.
