Essays on Invasive Species

Worldwide, there are invasive species that are non-native to their environment, which can eventually ruin a whole ecosystem. To begin, Florida is known for having exotic plants and animals in their invasive species kingdom. If you are unaware, Florida has had an invasive species problem since the late 1800's (“Brazilian Peppertree"). Although this problem has been around for hundreds of years, people still struggle to find a safe solution. A couple of invasive species in Florida are the Lionfish and…...

Main issue arising now days is the invasive alien species on which thousands of dollars are being invested to control. They are the main factor for the global change in ecology (biodiversity), economic (forestry and agriculture), and health (allergies and diseases) (Ng et al., 2018). Living and nonliving components of soil synergistically shape the growth of exotic invasive species in the main habitat. More the biodiversity rich area less is the invasion (Souza et al., 2011). The introduction of species…...

Referring to examples, discuss the threats to biodiversity hotspots and why these threats could prove critical. Biodiversity hotspots are the areas which constitute a plethora of flora and fauna comprising 2.3% of the Earth’s surface. These areas are home to numerous endemic species which are native to those spots only. Earth’s biodiversity is under constant threat. Climate change coupled with habitat loss to invasive species have introduced the sixth great mass extinction events in the history of earth. Unsustainable consumption…...

The plant species richness, evenness, dominance and diversity indices for both P. hysterophorus invaded and uninvaded areas are shown in Table 2. The study results indicate that all P. hysterophorus invaded areas had higher species richness (R = 58) than uninvaded areas (R = 39). and the difference was significant (p = 0.043) at 5% level of confidence. Although plant species in uninvaded were more even (E = 0.644) than invaded areas (E = 0.063), dominance was found to be…...

Human beings are the key explanation for the extinction of animals. Humans kill animals with none guilt. Human beings are the biggest threats to our planet’s species. The world’s population is increasing every year. More and more resources are being used by people leading to fewer resources for other earth species. Thousands of the world’s species are used daily for food, shelter, and medicine, but there is a limit to these resources. People take many fishes from the oceans and…...

The Great Lakes cover a total surface area of 95,000 square miles. They also hold about 5,500 cubic miles of water, which is about 20 % of Earth\'s freshwater. There are more than 250 species of fish found in the Great Lakes. Since, non-native species have been introduced. The population of Native fish have decreased significantly. Invasive species are both good and bad for the Great Lakes from providing food for native species to destroying the ecosystem. Its weird to…...

There are many invasive species in the United States today but one of the most infamous species is the Asian Carp. these fish were not so bad in the early days of America, infact people wanted these fish because they were overfishing and they needed a good fast growing freshwater fish to replace and replenish many of the native fish that had rapidly decreased. As a result of this they made fish farms in the south and they ordered several…...

An invasive species is an animal or organism that does not belong and is causing harm to the economy. The three invasive species that are harming the U.S. that I will be covering are: The Zebra Mussel, The Lionfish, and The Burmese Python. Each of these species are in different biomes in The Northern American Content.Inconveniences concerning the idea of intrusive species emerge from contrasting human qualities and points of view. Varying precepting of the relative damage caused or benefits…...

Invasive species are the main threat to biodiversity in the Galapagos. Its presence is linked to the growth of the population, tourism and the flow of maritime and air transport, increased by the demand for resources by the inhabitants of the islands. Invasive species are established accidentally or intentionally at a site outside their natural range of distribution and cause damage to native ecosystems and species.Invasive Species There are 500 species of insects and more than 750 species of plants introduced…...
