When was Garlic Mustard introduced to the US?

How did the garlic mustard get here?
Garlic mustard is an exotic invasive plant from Europe that invades woodland habitats in North America and impacts forest ...
Why is garlic mustard an invasive species?
Garlic mustard is considered an invasive species because it spreads aggressively, outcompetes native plants for resources, and does not have a natural predator to keep its population in check. Its ability to rapidly reproduce and form dense monocultures disrupts native plant communities and reduces biodiversity in the ecosystem.
What are some invasive species in Pennsylvania?

These invasive species can outcompete native plants and animals, disrupting the local ecosystem and causing harm to the environment. Control efforts are ongoing to manage their impact.

Other research points toward potentially negative impacts on timber species and forest health. Many land managers consider it to be one of the most potentially harmful and difficult to control invasive plants in the region.

Why are invasive species dangerous?
They can affect the chemical makeup of the water, availability of resources, and even alter the food web. Invasive species impact other species more directly through competition for resources. Because invasive species evolved with other competitors and native species evolved in the absence of invasive species they lack the ability to compete with invasive species. They are costly to society in many ways through both, direct management, and decreased production. The annual estimated cost in the United States of invasive species control is about 120 billion dollars per year. It is estimated that the global cost of invasive species management is equal to five percent of the global economy.
