Invasive alien species are non-native to an ecosystem and this species affects human health and the environment of the society.The role of the v is high in biodiversity. Different types of species are available in each such as “Zebra Mussel (Driessen polymorpha”, “Green Crab (Carcinus Maenas)”, “Sea Walnut” (Mnemiopsisleidyi), and many more.

Definition of “invasive alien species”

Fungi can be an Alien Invasive species or it can also say that it is a microorganism. Alien Invasive species can be seen in the eyes because they are microorganisms.

Invasive alien species are non-native to an ecosystem and this species affects human health and the environment of the society. Various kinds of disadvantages of Alien Invasive species are there in the environment because it changes their entire climate. The negative impact can be seen in the environment due to this species. This species reproduces millions of species at a time and develops its activities. They reproduce too fast and survive too long in the environment. This species is changing the environment of society and creating a negative impact on the climate. 

Characteristics on Alien Invasive Species

The species is invasive therefore it is difficult for them to reproduce though they have low density. These kinds of species did not get their partner or mate so easily therefore they found problems in reproducing. But on the other hand, these kinds of species spread their organisms into new environments. They get accustomed to the new environment too fast and easily. They can survive in any kind of climate in the environment. The population of this species is high in the environment and large kinds of species produce within a second. Species s native to the ecosystem hence they are not good for the environment. The habit of the “Alien Invasive Species’ ‘ is being discussed and it is very important to know about their character because they are a part of the biodiversity. This species is harmful to the atmosphere and they are highly populated in the environment. This species can survive for a long time, it can drive and thrive within a second. 

Types of Invasive alien species

(i) Invasive alien flora (plants)

Types of invasive alien species are also being discussed. A plant is also a form of this species.  This plant cannot be seen in human eyes because it is very small in size. “173 species” are planted in India and each of them is creating a bad impact on the environment. The name of the species plants is “Lantana camera”, “Alternanthera philoxeroides’ ‘, “Eichhornia crassipes’ ‘ and many others. The environmental causes are created by the Invasive “alien flora (plants)”

(ii) Invasive alien animals 

Now the discussion is all about “Invasive alien animals”. The “Invasive alien animals” are the animals that produce too fast in the environment and affect the environment. The population of these invasive animals is high in the environment. Various kinds of disadvantages of Alien Invasive species are there in the environment because it changes their entire climate. The climate is changing rapidly due to the rapid growth of these kinds of species in the country. 

Invasive alien species in India

From recent studies, it can be analyzed that the “173 species” are invasive aliens in India. The rapid growth of these kinds of species can be identified in India. Scientific researchers say that these species are harming the environment and they’re responsible for climate change in India. “Lantana Camara” is present in India and they produce too fast and also, they survive for a long time in the environment. These species are much habituated to any kind of climate in the environment. 

Impact of “invasive alien species” upon environment and ecology

The ecology is completely chasing due to“invasive alien species”.The climate is not stable on the earth and that is due to the huge amount of“invasive alien species”.  The “invasive alien species have great power because they can produce themselves in new environments and they can easily adapt themselves to new environments too. The rapid changing of the environment is caused by the “invasive alien species”. Habitat destruction is caused by the “invasive alien species”. Therefore, for the betterment of the environment the “invasive alien species” needs to be controlled in the country. Loss of human biodiversity and species harm human health. 

Conclusion 

India has many species and each of the species is creating a negative impact on the atmosphere. The climate is changing rapidly in India due to these species. “Lantana Camara” is present in India and they produce too fast and also, they survive for a long time in the environment. The most negative repercussion is that these species have a huge amount of growth in the country and they reproduce too fast in the environment
