Irtokasvujen
Irtokasvujen, also known as invasive plants, are non-native species that spread rapidly and outcompete native flora, disrupting local ecosystems. They often thrive in disturbed or altered environments, such as roadsides, abandoned fields, and urban areas. Irtokasvujen can have significant ecological and economic impacts. They can alter soil chemistry, outcompete native species for resources, and alter habitats, leading to a decline in biodiversity. Additionally, they can pose threats to agriculture by competing with crops for water and nutrients, and to human health by producing allergens or toxins. Managing irtokasvujen involves a combination of strategies, including mechanical removal, herbicide application, and biological control. Prevention is key, with efforts focused on reducing the spread of invasive species through public education, regulation of plant imports, and monitoring of new introductions.
