Invasive Plants

Did you know that Falmouth, Maine has been dealing with invasive plants? First of all if you don't know what invasive means, it basically means that the organism was accidentally introduced into the place they ended up and they started a problem. The opposite of invasive is native and native means they are from that habitat. There are some people in Falmouth, Maine dealing with some plants that are invasive. They have very extensive infestations from knotweed. I wonder how they are handling this situation? It is probably a lot of work. Professionals will probably be needed. (by Bella R)

This is the link I used for my information:

  1. I like how you explained for people that didn't know what an invasive species was so they could understand your post. I agree that it could be very hard to find a way to make the knotweed. This connects to our class because we have been talking about invasive and native species and how they can harm the ecosystem. I wonder how they will decide to deal with the invasive plant problem.

  6. Invasive plants can cause a lot of trouble. When we've been in North Carolina, we've seen the invasive kudzu plant take over entire areas of forest.
