Which of the following best predicts the consequences of the introduction of C. taxifolia to the California coast? nd 2 school Without natural herbivores or competitors,C. taxifolia will grow rapidly and crowd out native species of producers. C. taxifolia will have a hard time establishing itself because it will have to compete against native species of sea grasses, which are better adapted to the environment. C. taxifolia will grow rapidly, leading to an increase in the diversity of producers.
