Non-native Invasive Species What is an invasive species? An invasive species is an organism that has very few natural predators, competitors, parasites, or diseases. They also have high reproductive rates than any other species in an ecosystem. They also live longer as well. They are the hardest to get rid of because of their reproductive system. I’m taking these facts and finding those in the Hydrilla water plant. This plant is really high in reproduction, which makes them a non-native invasive

Throughout history people have adjusted to their environment and changed their environment. There are both positive and negative impacts of these changes on the people living in these certain regions. One example of this is coal mining in Britain, which brought industrialization and the rise of the British Raj, or rule, in India, but was also negative as it led to the deaths of mineworkers.

The Platydemus Monokwari also known as the New Guinea flatworm is a flatworm that survives in hot, wet climates and is typically 55 mm long and 5 mm wide. What makes this flatworm so invasive is that they change the ecosystem or environment for multiple different species of plants and animals and it’s very hard and almost impossible to keep under control. One characteristic that makes the New Guinea flatworm invasive is the fact that they devour local snails. First, according to NewsCurrents, “These

We measured the biodiversity of plants in different places in Costa Rica. We did this in Costa Rica because Costa Rica is a country that puts a lot of emphasis on preserving the environment. We took a string that was approximately 1.5 meters long, formed it into a circle, and counted the number of species of plants and how many of each species there were within our circle. We then used the Simpson’s Index of Diversity to calculate the diversity. We did this at four sites including Monteverde (Site

Pollution in Darwin Pollution in Darwin is very low. From air pollution to garbage pollution it's overall very low. Because of this occupants of Darwin are allowed to drink from rivers and streams because the pollution of water is 21.67 which is low and therefore gives a small chance of an occupant getting sick or dieing from the water. Air pollution is also very low (10.53) which is a good sign so that it doesn't affect rain water pollution which most likely lands in streams or rivers. "They have
