Alien shrubs in a national park: can they help in the recovery of natural degraded forest?

Both native and alien shrubs spread in areas opened up by cattle-ranching activities. The mosqueta rose, Rose rubiginosa L., is a particular case of alien species colonization. This rose owes its faster colonization of degraded areas in relation to native species to its rapid and effective endozoic...
