Environmental changes like increased temperature can stress an ecosystem. Why is this an issue with regard to invasive species?(1 point)

Question

Responses

Ecosystems are destroyed by environmental changes, and then invasive species establish a new ecosystem, so the original organisms can never reintegrate.

Invasive species are more easy to introduce to a stressed ecosystem.

Invasive species thrive in stressed ecosystems like those with warmer temperatures.

Ecosystems are unable to recover as quickly from damage due to invasive species and environmental changes.

Answer 1

Invasive species thrive in stressed ecosystems like those with warmer temperatures.

This statement highlights how invasive species often benefit from the weakened conditions of an ecosystem that is already under stress from environmental changes, such as increased temperatures.
