Question

assessment 2 - threats to forests
forests: conservation & management
3 of 5
the introduction of ______ has caused an increase in endangered plant and animal species.
○ invasive species
○ wild fires
○ venus fly traps
○ soil erosion

Explanation:

Invasive species compete with native species for resources like food and habitat. This competition can lead to a decline in native plant and animal populations, increasing the number of endangered species. Wild fires (while they can be destructive) are a natural part of some ecosystems and not an "introduction" in the sense of a new entity being brought in. Venus fly - traps are a specific plant species (a carnivorous plant) and not a general threat in the context of causing widespread endangerment of many species. Soil erosion affects the land but is not an introduced entity in the way invasive species are.

Answer:

Invasive species
