These plants may have been deliberately introduced for horticulture, agriculture or other uses, or may have arrived accidentally via international trade, transport or other human activities.\r\n\r\nOnce established in their new habitat, invasive alien plant species often have a competitive advantage over native species. They can spread rapidly, crowd out native vegetation, disrupt natural ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, alter natural nutrient and water cycles, disrupt ecosystem services and even threaten endangered species.\r\n\r\nControlling invasive alien plant species is a major challenge for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management in many parts of the world. Prevention, control and eradication measures are often necessary to limit their spread and minimize their harmful impact.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_38888\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"225\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-38888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-ect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Grisy-Suisnes-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"EVEE plant on the ECT Grisy-Suisnes site\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\"> Japanese knotweed at the ECT Grisy-Suisnes site[\/caption]"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What is an Invasive Alien Plant Species?
