Takeover of invasive species due to climate change : the bush honeysuckle

Abstract

With an increase in climate change, invasive species, such as the Bush Honeysuckle, appear in the early spring and remain late into the fall, giving them a competitive advantage over native species of the same ecosystem. Due to climate change, invasive species, such as the Bush Honeysuckle, are becoming more prominent in the Midwest, which will cause a decrease in biodiversity and economic harm to the United States.
