Thanks for your thoughtful feedback! You make really good questions regarding our gameplay systems. We will answer those in this early prototyping stage hopefully. Right now, our idea is to show the player the ecosystem for them to have a clear idea (visually) of what they are dealing with, but we have several backup plans depending on scope. The invasive species idea is something that crossed our minds and might be the right direction to go for a more powerful call to action about native flora. Thank you for taking the time to comment
