In your own words: What is the difference between a non-native species and an invasive species?

1 answer

A non-native species is a species that is not native to a particular ecosystem or region but has been introduced there, either intentionally or accidentally. An invasive species, on the other hand, is a non-native species that has a negative impact on the native species and ecosystem it has been introduced to, often outcompeting or preying on native species, disrupting the balance of the ecosystem, and causing harm to the environment. Invasive species can rapidly multiply and spread, making them particularly damaging to their new habitats.
