Another negative issue that an invasive species might present is the potential to outcompete native species for resources such as food, habitat, and space. This can lead to a decline in biodiversity and disrupt ecosystem balance. Invasive species can also disrupt ecological processes, such as pollination and seed dispersal, which are crucial for the health of ecosystems. Additionally, invasive species can pose a threat to agriculture, forestry, and other industries by damaging crops, forests, and other valuable resources.
