The Eurasian water milfoil is a nonnative

species, which was once commonly sold as an

aquarium plant, and is now found growing in

many lakes in New York State. It has few

natural enemies, and grows rapidly, crowding

out many native species. This plant ruins fishing

areas and interferes with boating and other

water sports. This is an example of

(1) human consumption of finite resources

(2) an unintended consequence of adding an

organism to an ecosystem

(3) an abiotic factor having a negative effect on

an ecosystem

(4) the introduction of a species that has

increased the long-term biodiversity of an

ecosystem
