The way such species interact with climate changes, as well as their high specific ecological plasticity, gives them a consistent advantage over native plant species. This work aims to demonstrate through a simple calculation the quantification of the productive potential of a wet meadow on which populations of an invasive plant species grew. The loss of productive potential induced by Reynoutria japonica Houtt on a mountain meadow in Cioc\u0103ne\u0219ti village, Romania, was the main objective. In the case of the productive potential of the meadows, a method for the general calculation of such losses was shown. The degree of anthropization of the studied area was also evaluated, correlating the degree of anthropization with the invasive species\u2019 potential for spreading and affecting the mountain area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su14095737","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,10]],"date-time":"2022-05-10T21:52:11Z","timestamp":1652219531000},"page":"5737","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Expansion of the Invasive Plant Species Reynoutria japonica Houtt in the Upper Bistri\u021ba Mountain River Basin with a Calculus on the Productive Potential of a Mountain Meadow"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8449-9640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bogdan-Mihai","family":"Negrea","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CE-MONT, Mountain Economy Center of the \u201cCostin C.
