- Abstract
Once with the appearance of the human kind in the history of our planet, he constantly tried to shape the environment in which he placed his activities. Being an excellent hunter and a fruit gatherer, later a farmer, he influenced the ecosystem bounds and divided the ecosystems and habitats. These interventions, on purpose or accidental, created some ecological niches on which invasive plant species didn't hesitate to conquer. Once with the demographic explosion, human desire to reach the end of the Earth facilitated the transport of different plant and animal species, implementing them on the new explored areas, those becoming invasive species. These "exchanges" of plants and animals conducted to the environment degradation and draw major consequences by the extinction of numerous local species of plants and animals.
