mmmh... yes and no. This is only a part of the whole picture.
Nature is not returning, is being reinvented. This is a 'totally new rebranded' "american" fauna and flora.
New Jersey wild areas have currently: Japanese honeysuckle, Asiatic elm disease fungus, Japanese crabs, Chinese Chesnut blight, Red Bellied Pacus and Oscars from the Amazonas, Chinese grass carps, Freshwater jellyfishes from the Yangtze river, European green crabs, Northern Snakeheads from Russia and Korea, Nutrias from Argentina, Chinese softshell turtles, english Ivy, Australian Mimosa...
So you can remove the corn and end having a polyculture of mostly asiatic and south-american weeds and shrubs instead. Something totally new and that never coevolved before.
To the untrained eye, this could seem 'american nature', but in fact is 'now enriched with a 72% of alien plagues'.
