Environmental changes like increased temperature can stress an ecosystem. Why is this an issue with regard to invasive species?
a
Ecosystems are destroyed by environmental changes, and then invasive species establish a new ecosystem, so the original organisms can never reintegrate.
b
Invasive species are easier to introduce to a stressed ecosystem.
c
Invasive species thrive in stressed ecosystems like those with warmer temperatures.
d
Ecosystems are unable to recover as quickly from damage due to invasive species and environmental changes.

c. Invasive species thrive in stressed ecosystems like those with warmer temperatures. When an ecosystem is stressed due to environmental changes like increased temperature, it can create conditions that are more favorable for invasive species to thrive. This can lead to the displacement of native species and a decrease in biodiversity. Additionally, invasive species can further stress the ecosystem and make it more difficult for it to recover from the initial environmental changes.
