Summary Introduction
To review:
The invasive species and their adaptation that causes destruction in the ecosystem.
Introduction:
An ecosystem is a balanced system, composed of both non-living and living component. If any change occurs in any of its component ecological balance may hamper. Invasive species are those organisms which are responsible for the damage of environment.
