Abstract

Invasive plant species pose significant threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in tropical wetlands. These ecosystems are critical for maintaining global biodiversity and providing essential ecological services. This study examines the ecological impacts of invasive plant species in tropical wetland environments, focusing on their effects on native plant diversity, water quality, and carbon sequestration. Through a combination of field surveys and remote sensing data, we assess the extent of invasion and identify key management strategies to mitigate these impacts. Our findings highlight the importance of early detection and rapid response in managing invasive species to preserve the ecological integrity of tropical wetlands.
