Week9 Draft2

In this experiment, we will focus on invasive herbs. Each group will be assigned one herb species from the list of invasive plants from the Massachusetts Invasive Plants Advisory Group. The plants chosen have already met the criteria designed by the MIPAG to be classified as invasive. Each group will determine the extent to which the invasive species causes harm to the economy and environment. To determine the extent to which the species poses threats to the Massachusetts economy and environment, each group will gather the information necessary to determine the severity of the invasive species. The species will be ranked from most threatening to least threatening based on its effect on the economy and environment.
