- Intervention effect Restored plots had 24% greater basal area than invaded controls.
- Observation Tree growth rates did not differ among treatments.
- Intervention effect Privet removal increased regenerating native stems by 60%.
- Intervention effect Bee richness and abundance remained higher in restored plots.
- Intervention effect Butterfly richness and abundance remained higher in restored plots.
- Observation Bee diversity, abundance and composition became comparable to never-invaded reference plots.
- Observation Authors project forest cover may thin and disappear without privet removal.
