Solution:
yes, Allen is correct about her summary, in fact, a piece of additional information to Allen's would be:
The kudzu plant was brought from Asia and introduced in the United States in the late 19th century to be used for ornamental purposes. However, this plant was widely cultivated in the south of that country in the early 20th century to reduce soil erosion. However, this plant would quickly colonize the landscape, growing about a foot a day and covering the ground, shrubs, trees, and even old things with a suffocating blanket of creepers. Kudzu can cause environmental damage as it is an invasive plant. In fact, the environmental and ecological damage of Kudzu results from its competition with other plant species. In particular, kudzu competes with native flora for light and acts to block their access to this vital resource by growing over them and shading them with its leaves. Native plants may die as a result. The problem with Kudzu is that it grows out of control quickly, spreading through stolons (stems that root at the tip when in contact with moist soil), rhizomes, and creepers that root at nodes to form new plants. On the other hand, according to scientists at Clemson University, its spread could accelerate climate change by reducing the carbon reserves stored in the soil of the ecosystems it colonizes, as in the case of this Mississippi forest.
