Die Gewöhnliche Robinie oder Falsche Akazie (Robinia pseudoacacia) ist Deutschlands Baum des Jahres 2020. Sie stammt aus Nord-Amerika, aber weltweit vielerorts eingebürgert. liefert robustes Holz und eine gute Bienenweide. Als hitze- trockenheitsresistente robuste Art könnte sie ein sogenannter Klimawandelbaum für die Zukunft sein. auch invasiver Neophyt, der vor allem an mageren Standorten hei...

Climate change is increasing drought frequency, which may affect symbiotic N2 fixation (SNF), a process that facilitates ecosystem recovery from disturbance. Here, we assessed the effect of drought frequency on the ecophysiology and SNF rate of a common N2 -fixing tree in eastern US forests. We grew Robinia pseudoacacia seedlings under the same mean soil moisture, but with different drought fre...

Urbanization and climate change are two inevitable megatrends of this century. Knowledge about the growth responses urban trees to is utmost importance towards future management green infrastructure with aim a sustainable provision environmental ecosystem services. Using tree-ring records, study analyzed response by stem diameter at breast height (DBH) 1178 in seven large cities worldwide, incl...

specific features of the structure of the ground litter invertebrate community in forest belt ecosystems in the ukrainian steppe zone have been considered. for 14 years invertebrate fauna of the litter of 176 forest belt sites with different composition has been studied with the aid of soil traps. the main characteristics of litter invertebrate communities (total population, a number of species...

In an era of urbanization, forests are a key component the urban green infrastructure, providing multiple benefits to residents. While emerging on wasteland could increase forest area, it is unclear how residents view such novel types. comparative self-administered online survey, we assessed attitudes and emotions (n = 299) from Berlin region, Germany, towards types that represent transformatio...

A mixed hardulood stand composed of 33% oak (Quercus “pp.), 33% yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.), and 14% other spec ies, was clearcut in 1963. Twenty years lo ter a deueloping, even-aged stand of pedominantly sprout origin is domi?gated by yellow-poplar, black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), red maple (Acer rubrum L.), and sweet birch (Betula lenta L.). The 0ak.s are a minor and de...

Aim of the study was to monitor changes of genotoxic activity of urban air caused by an incinerator and a petrochemical plant in Tradescantia micronucleus (Trad-MCN) and pollen fertility assays with wild plants (Chelidonium majus, Clematis vitalba, Cichorium intybus, Linaria vulgaris, Robinia pseudoacacia). While in the first sampling period (1997-2000) significantly (on average 80%) more MN we...
