∙ 11y agoNon-native species affect an ecosystem because they are organisms that are living outside of their natural range. This non-native species is a lot like pollution. It can harm or destroy native species because they compete or hunt for their food and water.
Hope this helps!! :)

∙ 11y agoThe introduction of nonnative species can disrupt the balance of an ecosystem by outcompeting native species for resources, spreading diseases, and altering the food web. This can lead to declines in native populations, changes in habitat structure, and overall reduced biodiversity.

A keystone species is a species whose presence has a disproportionately large impact on its ecosystem compared to its abundance. If a keystone species is removed from its ecosystem, it can lead to significant changes in the ecosystem's structure and function.
Introducing a foreign species into an area is known as "invasive species introduction" or "biological invasion." This can disrupt the ecosystem by outcompeting native species for resources and causing harm to the environment and economy.
If the ecosystem changes, it could disrupt the balance of species, potentially leading to extinctions. Shifts in temperature, water availability, or habitat can alter population dynamics and may lead to cascading effects through the food chain. Ecosystem services, such as pollination or water purification, may also be compromised.
A nonnative species can disrupt the balance of an ecosystem by outcompeting native species for resources, preying on native species, introducing diseases, or altering the physical habitat. This can lead to declines in native species populations, changes in species interactions, and overall ecosystem instability.
a non native species is a species that isn't within a certain ecosystem.

When a nonnative species is introduced into a new environment, it can disrupt the existing ecological balance by outcompeting native species for resources, predating on them, or introducing diseases. This can lead to decline or extinction of native species, changes in ecosystem structure, and loss of biodiversity. In some cases, nonnative species can also have economic and health impacts on human populations.
Imported species may damage the ecosystem.
An "invasive species" is defined as a species that is 1) non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem under consideration and 2) whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.
Introducing nonnative species can disrupt the existing ecosystem by outcompeting native species for resources, spreading diseases, and altering the food chain. This can lead to a decrease in biodiversity, damage to the environment, and economic impacts.
The introduction of nonnative species has environmental consequences.
Anthropogenic changes are human-caused changes in an ecosystem. These changes can include deforestation, pollution, introduction of invasive species, and habitat destruction. Anthropogenic activities can have significant impacts on the structure and function of ecosystems.
most often not because the ecosystem has developed and sustained itself amongst itself and what its got, and if you throw an un known animal in there, it will unbalance the whole ecosystem.
All of those factors can influence continual change in an ecosystem. Further disturbances, like natural disasters, human activities, or disease outbreaks, can disrupt the balance in the ecosystem. Long-term climate changes can alter environmental conditions and shift species distributions. Introduction of non-native species can outcompete native species for resources and disrupt the ecosystem's dynamics.
The keystone species is critical to maintaining the stability of an ecosystem, and changes in its population indicate changes in ecosystem health.
