The Tennessee Invasive Plant Council has identified the following invasive plants in Tennessee. The plants are all widely established across the state and have been reported in more than 10 counties.
The location of the State of Tennessee in the United States of America. Topographic map of Tennessee. The U.S. state of Tennessee has a uniquely diverse array of fresh-water fish species, owing to its large network of rivers and creeks, with major waterways in the state including the Mississippi River which forms its western border, the Tennessee River, the Cumberland River, and the Duck River.
The only remaining populations are confined to four tributaries along the Tennessee River: the Little Tennessee, Emory, Buffalo, and Holston rivers. [4] Many anthropogenic changes are the cause for such a large population decline. Major disturbances include dams, sedimentation, introduction of invasive species, and wide-ranging fish kills. In ...
This is a list of invasive species in North America.A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally (i.e., is not a native species), becomes capable of establishing a breeding population in the new location without further intervention by humans, and becomes a pest in the new location ...
It is also declining in abundance in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Ohio. [8] This decline in abundance is largely due to habitat modification or destruction, such as changing the level of turbidity of the water, changing sedimentation levels, introducing exotic, invasive species, altering nutrient levels, and introducing toxins.

A sea otter eyes its lunch, one of two invasive European green crabs it was able to retrieve underwater. Photo taken in 2011 in Moss Landing, CA. Green crabs are originally from Europe and arrived ...
Scientists have identified several new marine species in a pristine underwater ecosystem recently discovered in international waters -- and they expect to find more. Modern technology that allows ...
The economic impacts of invasive species can be difficult to estimate especially when an invasive species does not affect economically important native species. This is partly because of the difficulty in determining the non-use value of native habitats damaged by invasive species and incomplete knowledge of the effects of all of the invasive species present in the U.S. Estimates for the ...
