Question

The herbivores in the forest don’t consume this low-growing invasive plant because they mistake it for a similarly shaped toxic plant in the forest. The invasive plant needs a lot of room to grow. It sprouts from its seeds much earlier than the native species. What effect can its growth have on the native herbivores’ food supply?

Answer 1

it could be harmful to the food supply

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Because the invasive plant grows earlier, it may take up the space that the native species needs to grow. Lack of space would eventually lead to a decrease in the population of the native plant species. This decrease in population will negatively influence the food supply for herbivores.
