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

Answer 1

The issue with regard to invasive species and environmental changes, such as increased temperature, is that ecosystems are unable to recover as quickly from damage due to invasive species and environmental changes. Invasive species often thrive in disturbed environments, and as ecosystems face stress from climate change or other human-induced changes, these invaders can outcompete native species, further destabilizing the ecosystem and making it harder for the original organisms to recover.
