E.

monitoring

Answer;

Mechanical control

Explanation;

-Invasive species may cause environmental harm, economic harm, or impact human health. A key factor that makes many species invasive is a lack of predators in the new environment.

-Mechanical control usually refers to the mowing or mechanical cutting of an invasive plant infestation to limit seed production. With mowing, timing is essential. Invasive plants must be removed before the plants go to seed in order to be an effective method of control. Plants should be cut as close to the ground as possible and may have to be treated more than once in a growing season to achieve desired results.
