Which of the following best explains how introducing an invasive plant species to an ecosystem would affect the ecosystem over a long period of time? (4 points) The plants would eventually form mutualistic relationships with native plant species.
It would harm the ecosystem since the plants would compete with native plants for water, sunlight, and space.
It would benefit the ecosystem since the plant species would serve as a food source for herbivores.
The plants would crossbreed with native plant species and increase biodiversity in the ecosystem.

sulfur dioxide

explanation: acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. these substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
