Invasive species are organisms introduced to a new ecosystem that can cause significant environmental harm. This phenomenon highlights the importance of quadrant sampling, a method used to isolate small plots within ecosystems for detailed study. By examining these areas, researchers can better understand the interactions within food webs and how invasive species disrupt ecological balance. This knowledge is critical for developing effective management strategies to protect native biodiversity and preserve ecosystem health.
