Answer 2

i know.. but i cant find anywhere online about its role and ecological issues

Answer 3

I believe you can't find anything because the lilac is not a wild plant. It's grown only in parks and people's yards. It is controlled by humans and place little if any part in the natural world.

Here's a little about the wild lilac.

Answer 4

If you can't find these types of information about it, then that most likely means it has no ecological issues and maybe its role is not critical.
