Robinia Invasive Species

283 Words2 Pages

Some of the data from our study supports and does not support the prediction. The Robinia pseudoacacia was the only plant species that contradicted our hypothesis. This could be because the R. pseudoacacia is an invasive species in the state of New Jersey. According to invasive species characteristics, they can tolerate many different factors and have a very low tolerance for these factors. They can also spread quickly and have the capabilities of covering large areas. Invasive species are likely to cause major disruption to ecological communities (Sarre et al. 2013). The data states that with R. pseudoacacia, there is a negative correlation between diameter and distance in between trees. The tree pairs that were closer to each other

    The Current Problem Pueraria montana, commonly known as Kudzu, once introduced into an environment kills other vegetation and takes over a landscape. According to Bergmann, (2016), “Kudzu kills surrounding plants by suffocating them under a cover of its leaves, encompassing the area with woody stems and tree trunks, and breaking branches or evacuating entire trees and shrubs.” Not only does Kudzu kill plant life around it; it also grows at an alarming rate of about one foot per day. Mature vines can grow to about 60 - 100 feet in length and spreads by vines that stem at the nodes to arrange new plants (Bergmann, 2009). The researcher proposed several solutions aimed at destroying, limiting growth, or creating a new market for controlled use.

    Unintended species brought over by loggers and settlers include fungi and weeds that are detrimental to the existing ecosystem. In 1910 a fungal disease known as “white pine blister rust” was introduced and resulted in a substantial reduction of the existing Western white pine (1). The forest succession, as it is happening in the Pacific Northwest, is making the forest more “homogeneous in their composition and structure” especially since the only trees replanted after logging where Douglas-fir (1)(4) . This makes the ecosystem more vulnerable and weaker to invasive

    In order for invasive species to survive and thrive, they first need to arrive in their nonnative habitat. Asian Carp, Fire Ants, and Burmese Pythons all share the commonality in which they were all brought to the U.S. by humans. For example, “The Red Fire Ant was accidentally introduced into the United States in 1929 when a cargo ship that had used soil as a ballast arrived in Mobile, Alabama from South America.” (par. 3)Next, Unlike the accidental introduction of the Fire Ant, Asian Carp and Burmese Pythons were intentionally brought to the U.S. to sustain humans needs; Asian Carp were

    The weight of the Kudzu on plants is enough to stunt growth and even break branches. The accumulation of these effects contribute to the ever decreasing plant diversity in a region that has been overtaken by this highly invasive species. Kudzu is able to outcompete bushes and shrubs; limiting food sources and vital shelter to a number of native fauna. The limitation on plant diversity that Kudzu has caused will eventually limit the animal diversity. The Kudzu problem continues to grow, both literally and figuratively.

    Data Survey Global Invasive Species Database (IGSS 2015), shows that there are several species of undergrowth and tree species are classified as invasive plants. There are four factors that influence the success of the invasion of species, a disturbance in the ecosystem (fire or natural disaster), the ability to compete, availability of resources, and the pressure of propagules (Moser et al. 2009). Invasive alien species is the result of interactions between habitat suitability and the pressure of propagules (Rejmanek et al. 2005). Changes in environmental conditions may affect the level of invasion of a species. Changing environmental conditions interfere with the balance of competition between native plants and foreign plants.

    It must harm property, the economy, or the native plants and animals of the region”. Species that are invasive pose a threat to both humans and the habitants of the environments they’re invading. By altering the environment, invasive species interrupt the process of natural selection and the wellness of life of those residing in the natural habitat. It’s ability to reproduce quickly means that the lack of natural predators allows the species to grow out of control, consuming food and resources necessary for other animals - and people - to survive. In some cases, this can spread to humans as well, with crops and homes being destroyed and damaged by out of control invasive species.
