Why is it important?
Berberis thunbergii invasion limits native tree regeneration in forested ecosystems. Such limitation takes decades to reestablish ecosystem function lost due to invasion.
Perspectives
In the right conditions, if management of this species is not taken when first observed forests could potentially become fields that are comprised completely of Berberis thunbergii and other exotic plant species,.
