How do you suppose the invader was introduced into that environment? Answer in 1-2 sentences. Kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata)

1 answer

Kudzu was likely introduced into the environment as an ornamental plant and for erosion control in the late 19th century, after which it escaped cultivation and spread rapidly due to its aggressive growth habits. Its ability to thrive in various conditions and outcompete native vegetation facilitated its establishment as an invasive species.
