Another example of invasive species affecting fire regimes can be found with the spread of the Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus terebinthifolia) on native plant communities. Native to Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay, the plant was introduced as an ornamental species and has now established itself in areas well outside of its native range.
Brazilian pepper trees (Schinus) are trees native to South America, whose ornamental introduction lead to a process of biological invasion in more than 20 countries. [2]In US states of Florida and Hawaii, the introduction of the sawfly H. hubrichi was proposed as a controlling mechanism against the Brazilian pepper tree's dispersion, due to the high host specificity it shows.
This is a list of invasive species in North America.A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally (i.e., is not a native species), becomes capable of establishing a breeding population in the new location without further intervention by humans, and becomes a pest in the new location ...
Schinus molle is native to the arid zone of northern South America and Peru's Andean deserts, extending to central Argentina and central Chile. [6] It has, however, become widely naturalized around the world. It is known for its strong wood used for saddles, and was one of the Spanish colonies' supply sources for saddles.
