Interaction between Ailanthus altissima and Native Robinia pseudoacacia in Early Succession: Implications for Forest Management

Analysis of intraspecific and interspecific interactions between the invasive exotic tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima (Miller) Swingle) and the native black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.)

Invasive exotic plants can persist and successfully spread within ecosystems and negatively affect the recruitment of native species. The exotic invasive Ailanthus altissima and the native Robinia pseudoacacia are frequently found in disturbed sites and exhibit similar growth and reproductive characteristics, yet each has distinct functional roles such as allelopathy and nitrogen fixation, resp...

Can the Life-History Strategy Explain the Success of the Exotic Trees Ailanthus altissima and Robinia pseudoacacia in Iberian Floodplain Forests?

Ailanthus altissima and Robina pseudoacacia are two successful invasive species of floodplains in central Spain. We aim to explain their success as invaders in this habitat by exploring their phenological pattern, vegetative and sexual reproductive growth, and allometric relations, comparing them with those of the dominant native tree Populus alba. During a full annual cycle we follow the timin...

تغییر غلظت پرولین و کربوهیدرات‌های محلول در اقاقیا (Robinia pseudoacacia L) و عرعر Ailanthus altissima Mill. Swingle)) در واکنش به آفت‌زدگی در ماه‌های مختلف سال

اثر ماه‌های مختلف سال (‌فروردین تا شهریور) و آفات بر غلظت پرولین و کربوهیدرات‌های محلول در برگ درختان اقاقیا (.Robinia pseudoacacia L) و عرعر(Ailanthus altissima Mill. Swingle)  در این تحقیق اندازه‌گیری شد. عرصه جنگلی با گونه‌های اقاقیا و عرعر در ایستگاه تحقیقات دانشکده کشاورزی مغان انتخاب گردید. مساحت منطقه مورد بررسی در هر منطقه جنگلی 3 هکتار در نظر گرفته شد و در هر منطقه چهار قطعه نمونه با پ...

Comparing the Sexual Reproductive Success of Two Exotic Trees Invading Spanish Riparian Forests vs. a Native Reference

A widely accepted hypothesis in invasion ecology is that invasive species have higher survival through the early stages of establishment than do non-invasive species. In this study we explore the hypothesis that the sexual reproductive success of the invasive trees Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle and Robinia pseudoacacia L. is higher than that of the native Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl., all ...
