Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The introduction of nonnative species in an ecosystem maybe both helpful and harmful. Initially, the introduced nonnative species maybe prove helpful in some ways.

As time goes on, the nonnative species begin to compete with the native species for resources in the ecosystem. The nonnative species may outdo the native species in such competition and entirely replace them. This may ultimately lead to a permanent loss of the native species from the ecosystem.
