Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Invasive plants tend to deplete soil health in grasslands by reducing biodiversity and eliminating native species. The shift towards an invasive plant monoculture is accomplished through a variety of strategies including competition for soil moisture, changing soil chemistry, shading and space.

it releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than native plants, according to new research in Science.
