Invasive species are among the most significant threats to biodiversity and cost the nation more than $100 billion annually. Invasive plants negatively impact our economy, environment, and human health. Learn how invasive plants thrive and spread aggressively outside their native range. A naturally aggressive plant may be especially invasive when it is introduced into a new habitat.
