The Invasive Mimosa Tree is Taking Over Florida

The aggressiveness and destruction of plants against other species can make them harmful to the environment. In order for other plants to grow, the area inhabited by the plants must be removed. There are no local predators in the mimosa tree. The fruits and leaves of the mimosa tree are "not important to any wildlife species despite insects like mimosa eating plants" (Mimosa (silk)). This species basically only prevents the environment and harms it.

Invasive (non-native species) species are a serious threat to the integrity of the native South Florida community. Everglades in Florida received a series of pressure from non-natural species as exotic fish swallowed natural fish and Melaleuca tree to cover natural plants. These intruders are far away from their home and have a competitive advantage over native species. Since non - native species are often devoid of natural enemies, they can surpass native species. They breed without limit and can deplete precious resources such as sunlight, water, nutrients and so on. Native species suffer from this intense competition

One year 's study at Everglades found that aggressive Cuban frogs have a serious effect on the number of Florida' s traditional frogs. These aggressive frogs feed on native species and compete with them for habitats. While many invasive frogs in Florida may be trapped first after entering the state containers, researchers now account for over 80% of the introduction of exotic pets in the 1980s I believe.

As with frogs in Cuban trees, non-old seeds will soon be invasive species. It was introduced through packaging materials in 1931 and invaded the natural region of Florida to predict our native frogs. Cuban frog spread rapidly in southern Florida and was common in most of the state of the 1970s. On the other hand the correct factor can take many years to allow seeds to expand their range and cause ecological problems. For example, green Iguana lived in Florida since the 1960's, but its population has dramatically increased since Hurricane Andrew. Green iguanas have no ecological impact, but this Lizard of Latin America produced serious economic losses to landscape plants, mainly in Miami Dade and Broward County.
