An invasive species of water plant is damaging the ecosystem of a nearby lake. Scientists need a solution that will control the growth of the plant without further damaging the ecosystem. Which solution can scientists use that would reduce or remove any negative impact on the ecosystem?

Answer:

One possible solution that scientists can use to control the invasive water plant is to remove as much of the plant material as possible without breaking it into small pieces that could spread further. Another possible solution is to introduce insects or fish that can feed on the plant and reduce its population. These choices could be options of how to remove the invasive species plant.

Hope this helps :)
