← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence arises when an invasive plant species disrupts established woodland nitrogen pathways?
A)Eutrophication from nutrient over-enrichment
B)Decreased stability against windthrow events✓
C)Reduced amphibian diversity in vernal pools
D)Increased susceptibility to wildfire propagation
💡 Explanation
When an invasive plant alters nitrogen pathways, it modifies soil microbial processes, leading to reduced decomposition rates and altered root structures as it out-competes native species. Therefore decreased stability results, rather than eutrophication, reduced amphibian diversity, or enhanced wildfire propagation which results from other ecological alterations.
