What is an invasive species?

• An invasive species is a native species that benefits the environment, economy, or human health.

• An invasive species is a non-native species that causes harm to the environment, economy, or human health.

• An invasive species is a type of plant that is only found in one specific region.

• An invasive species is a species that is not affected by climate change.

How does climate change affect the distribution of species?

• Climate change only affects the distribution of a few species.

• Climate change has no impact on the distribution of species.

• Climate change causes species to migrate to new areas without any disruption to their ecosystems.

• Climate change affects the distribution of species by altering their habitats and disrupting their natural ecosystems.

• Decreased water temperature, increased dissolved oxygen levels, and improved water quality.

• Death of aquatic organisms, loss of biodiversity, and disruption of food chains.

• Increased population of aquatic organisms, enhanced biodiversity, and strengthened food chains.
