Invasive plants are species that are not native to a particular area and, once introduced, can establish, reproduce quickly, and spread, causing harm.
How they become invasive:
They can be introduced intentionally (e.g., as ornamental plants) or accidentally (e.g., in soil or seed shipments).
Why they are harmful:
Ecological impact: Invasive plants can displace native species, alter ecosystems, and reduce biodiversity.
Economic impact: They can damage infrastructure, reduce property values, and increase costs for control and management.
Human health impact: Some invasive plants can be poisonous or cause allergic reactions.
