Invasiivsem

Invasiivsem is a term that describes a species, organism, or pathogen that has been introduced to a new environment and has a negative impact on the ecosystem. This impact can manifest in various ways, including outcompeting native species for resources, altering habitats, introducing diseases, or causing economic damage. The term implies a level of aggressiveness or dominance in the introduced species' ability to spread and establish itself, often at the expense of the existing biological community.

The concept of "invasiivsem" is crucial in ecological and conservation studies. Identifying and managing invasive species is a priority for governments and environmental organizations worldwide. Measures to control or eradicate invasive populations can range from biological control agents to physical removal and habitat restoration. The success of an invasiivsem species is often linked to factors such as a lack of natural predators or diseases in the new environment, rapid reproduction rates, and high adaptability. Understanding the pathways of introduction, such as through global trade and travel, is also key to prevention strategies.
