Due to the increase in global temperatures, the range of plants and insects is increasing. The negative impact is that they now affect the local organisms in the area. What name do we use to refer to these plants and insects?
These plants and animals that are forced out of their natural habitat into others are referred to as INVASIVE SPECIES. Scientists predicted that increasing temperatures will increase the range of some species that were once kept at bay because of lower temperatures. Invasive species can severely impact ecosystems around the globe. Some invasive species are fungi that can wipe out entire forests.
