Native species of North America are often defined as those species that were present in North America before Europeans arrived in the early 1600s. When Europeans arrived, they found extensive forests dominated by the American chestnut tree. These chestnut trees were extensively cultivated and planted by the North American natives for food and other wood products. In the early 1900s the chestnut blight (a fungus) virtually exterminated all of the American chestnut trees from North America.
(a) Is the American chestnut considered a native species despite its intensive cultivation? Explain why.
(b) Is the chestnut blight considered a native or invasive species? Explain why.
(c) Discuss why invasive species tend to proliferate at very high rates.
(d) Many people are trying to grow hybrid chestnut trees that will be immune to the chestnut blight so that forests can be restored to those found by the Europeans in the 1600s. Do you agree or disagree that this should be done? Justify your answer
