We investigate the influence of a shifting environment on the spreading of an invasive species through a model given by the diffusive logistic equation with a free boundary. When the environment is homogeneous and favourable, this model was first studied in Du and Lin (SIAM J Math Anal 42:377–405, 2010), where a spreading–vanishing dichotomy was established for the long-time dynamics of the species, and when spreading happens, it was shown that the species invades the new territory at some uniquely determined asymptotic speed. Here we consider the situation that part of such an environment becomes unfavourable, and the unfavourable range of the environment moves into the favourable part with speed. We prove that when, the species always dies out in the long-run, but when, the long-time behavior of the species is determined by a trichotomy described by (a)vanishing, (b)borderline spreading, or (c)spreading. If the initial population is written in the formwithfixed anda parameter, then there existssuch that vanishing happens when, borderline spreading happens when, and spreading happens when.
