题目分析：

本题只要把句子读懂，并且能知道平行对象都是谁，就可以顺利解出答案。
本句的意思是：
“对于当地的动物和植物”和“对于维持生态系统多样性”这两件事来说，“植物入侵”是第二严重的威胁，排在栖息地丢失之后。

选项分析：

选项A：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

选项B：由于“对于当地的动物和植物”和“对于维持生态系统多样性”这两件事在逻辑上具有并列的地位，所以两者应该保持平行，即，将for maintaining改为to the maintenance。 

选项C：首先，after losing their habitat中的代词their没有指代对象。其次，应将动名词短语losing habitat改为名词短语habitat loss，这点考查了名词和动名词的区别。用之于本题，原句中讲的是invasive plants和栖息地丢失对于动植物的影响，显然讨论的是“栖息地丢失”这个现象，而不是“丢失栖息地”的过程。因此，必须用名词短语。 

选项D：平行错误同选项(B)。另外，after habitat loss应该直接放在threat的后面，用于就近修饰。

选项E：动名词短语maintaining biologically diverse ecosystems应改为名词短语maintenance of biologically diverse ecosystems。这点考查了名词和动名词的区别。同理于选项(C)，这里的maintain也应该用名词形式。另外，本选项具有选项B-D的所有错误。
