Neobiota

Neobiota refers to living organisms that have been introduced to a new environment, often by humans. These organisms are sometimes called "alien species" or "invasive species." Think of it like visiting someone's house and bringing your own pet over, but the pet is not familiar with the house rules or the environment.

Sometimes, neobiota can be harmful to the new environment because they can outcompete the native species for resources like food and habitat. This means that they can end up disrupting the entire ecosystem. It's like having a new kid come into your class and they're good at everything, making it hard for everyone else to keep up.

Other times, neobiota can be helpful to the new environment. For example, bees are often introduced to new areas to help pollinate crops. This would be like a new kid coming to class and being really good at helping everyone learn.

Because neobiota can have such a big impact on the environment, scientists and researchers are very interested in studying them to see how they affect the ecosystem. By understanding how neobiota work, we can help protect the environment and keep it healthy for all living things.
