Some common invasive plant species in Texas currently are alligator weed, Eurasian water milfoil, and Giant Salvinia. These are all problems in Texas because of their excessive reproduction rate and that they were not discovered and stopped in time for them to be exterminated before causing a huge problem like now a days. Since we have mostly man made lakes and caddo lake is the only one that is not a constructed lake, it has the greatest impact of these non-indigenous plants. Some problems that these weeds cause is that they are big problems for navigation routes in waterways and as well as driving out native plants and creating an uninhabitable environment for native species.
