=== Invasive Species ===
Globalization intensifies the spread of invasive species through the increase of trade transportation. Today, the development of trading has open trade routes and markets across the globe. The increased methods of transportation allows living organisms to latch on to the shipping containers and travel to a new location where it can grow [[Invasive species|invasive]] without the checks and balances present in its natural environment.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-04-15 |title=Effects of Globalization on the Environment |url=https://online.hbs.edu/blog/post/globalization-effects-on-environment |access-date=2022-03-01 |website=Business Insights Blog |language=en}}</ref> Rising volumes of air and ship transport are identified as the main source of marine invasions.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Meyerson |first1=Laura A. |last2=Mooney |first2=Harold A. |date=May 2007 |title=Invasive alien species in an era of globalization |url=https://doi.org/10.1890/1540-9295(2007)5%5B199:IASIAE%5D2.0.CO;2 |journal=Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment |volume=5 |issue=4 |pages=199–208 |doi=10.1890/1540-9295(2007)5[199:iasiae]2.0.co;2 |s2cid=17288811 |issn=1540-9295}}</ref>

Invasive species contribute to economic harm by altering the ecosystem, causing native biodiversity loss, and preventing native plant growth. Scientists say that invasive species creates lasting effects on the environment. A 2006 study found that the invader garlic mustard virtually eliminated all mycorrhizal fungi colonization, which dramatically damaged the ability for native canopy species to regenerate.<ref name=":02">{{Cite journal |last1=Stinson |first1=Kristina A. |last2=Campbell |first2=Stuart A. |last3=Powell |first3=Jeff R. |last4=Wolfe |first4=Benjamin E. |last5=Callaway |first5=Ragan M. |last6=Thelen |first6=Giles C. |last7=Hallett |first7=Steven G. |last8=Prati |first8=Daniel |last9=Klironomos |first9=John N. |date=2006-04-25 |title=Invasive Plant Suppresses the Growth of Native Tree Seedlings by Disrupting Belowground Mutualisms |journal=PLOS Biology |language=en |volume=4 |issue=5 |pages=e140 |doi=10.1371/journal.pbio.0040140 |issn=1545-7885 |pmc=1440938 |pmid=16623597 |doi-access=free }}</ref> The invader's antifungal effects reduced the seeding growth of mycorrhizal fungi-dependent plants, and the effects of the garlic mustard were still recorded 2 years after its removal.<ref name=":02" />
