Abstract
Native plants evolve over time to have deep, specialized relationships in their environments. Movement due to changing environmental conditions is a normal part of that process. However, as humans move plants around, and change our ecosystems in other ways, we may outpace our ecosystems' abilities to keep up.
This short comic provides an introduction to native plants and introduced plants, and explains why some plant introductions may lead to ecological imbalance (and be considered "invasive"). It also explores the impacts of climate change on plant communities. This is intended to be used as an educational resource for children K-5 (written for an approximately 3rd grade level). It includes glossary and discussion pages, though an art-page only version is also included.
