The impact of non-native species on ecosystem function can be profound and often detrimental. When introduced to new environments, non-natives may outcompete native species for resources, disrupt food webs, and alter habitat structures. This can lead to a decline in biodiversity, as native species struggle to cope with increased competition and predation. Additionally, non-native species may introduce diseases or new dynamics that further threaten local ecosystems. Understanding these impacts is crucial for developing effective management strategies to control non-native invasions, protecting native biodiversity, and maintaining ecosystem health and resilience.
