Question

What special feature of hydrilla makes it invasive species of plant for the American continent.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hydrilla is best (or worst) known for its

tendency to completely take over a water body.  

Dense infestations of hydrilla can shade or

crowd out all other native aquatic plants, alter

water chemistry, cause dramatic swings in dissolved oxygen levels, increase water

temperatures and affect the diversity and abundance of fish populations.  Thick mats of

vegetation can impede navigation, reduce recreational boating, fishing and swimming

opportunities, reduce flow in irrigation canals and clog industrial pipes and intake grates. Hydrilla is native to Asia (i.e., India, Sri Lanka, Korea) and possibly mainland Australia.
