Impacts
Species characteristics, environmental characteristics, and human involvement affect invasion pathways and thus have an effect on propagule pressure and the success or failure of attempted invasions. For native species of conservation concern such as endangered species, propagule pressure can be used to ensure successful introductions of populations in the wild. On a similar note, propagule pressure also plays a role in unintentional invasions of nonnative species to particular habitats. Once propagule pressure is considered, more suitable measures can be taken to reverse the unwanted effects of nonnative invasions. This tool can be used for positive effects for desired species (Groom et al. 2006).

Famous quotes containing the word impacts:
“We are no longer in a state of growth; we are in a state of excess. We are living in a society of excrescence.... The boil is growing out of control, recklessly at cross purposes with itself, its impacts multiplying as the causes disintegrate.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
