Invasive populations of Spiraea tomentosa (Rosaceae) are genetically diverse but decline during succession in forest habitats.

Abstract excerpt

Population genetic and ecological data may help to control invasive plants, which are considered a major threat to natural habitats. In contrast to expected bottleneck events, genetic diversity of such invasive populations may be high due to extensive propagule pressure or admixture. The ecological impact of invasive species has been broadly evaluated in the field; however, long-term studies on the fate of...
