An invasive species is an introduced species that harms its new environment. [2] Invasive species adversely affect habitats and bioregions , causing ecological, environmental, and/or economic damage.
The economic impacts of invasive species can be difficult to estimate especially when an invasive species does not affect economically important native species. This is partly because of the difficulty in determining the non-use value of native habitats damaged by invasive species and incomplete knowledge of the effects of all of the invasive species present in the U.S. Estimates for the ...

Conservation tactics and management policies can help prevent invasive species from taking over and driving native North American plants to extinction.
The problem with this approach is one, most invasive shrub species are not well controlled by run-of-the-mill pre-emergent herbicides, and two, there are no species-specific pre-emergents.
