If a new invasive species of plant with a high seed dispersal rate enters a stable forest ecosystem, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

Competitive exclusion becomes likely because the invasive species has a high seed dispersal rate, potentially outcompeting native species for resources in their respective niches. This is niche competition, therefore the natives may be excluded rather than thriving or stabilizing existing relationships.
