Expert Solution

a) The non-native species occurred outside of their natural range, but may have positive or neutral effect on the ecosystem, while an invasive species has a negative impact on the ecosystem. The non-native species may not hinder or prevent the survival of other species within the ecosystem, but the invasive species are capable of causing environmental, human, or economic harm because of its ability to spread rapidly and compete with native species.

b) Black acacia, Red gum and Blue morning glory
