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.


Why can populations of zebra mussels and garlic mustard grow so quickly in new ecosystem?

Zebra mussels reproduce rapidly due to high fecundity rates and lack of natural predators in new ecosystems. Garlic mustard possesses allelopathic compounds that inhibit the growth of other plant species, giving it a competitive advantage and allowing it to spread quickly in new environments.


What are examples of pungent materials?
