Abstract Antioxidant enzymatic activity and soluble protein content in Robinia pseudoacacia L. (black locust), invasive tree Europe, plants were determined under feeding conditions of the caterpillars Parectopa robiniella Clemens, 1863, miner trees three (I, II, III) age groups (5–10, 15–25, 40 years). Biochemical analysis data showed significant differences between reference experimental leaf ...

Minimizing air, water, and soil pollution are very important for a sustainable environment. Particularly, ensuring the continuity of fertility without deteriorating structure is important. This objective can be achieved only by determining physical, biological, chemical properties atmospheric deposition taking required measures in agricultural lands. Trees plants reflect quality especially they...

In an effort to minimize environmental degradation caused by the intensive use of agrochemicals, European Union adopted regulations relevant to afforestation and set aside of agricultural land. The multifunctional role of agriculture enhanced through these regulations and provided adequate motives for a change in the conventional land uses. Cultivators/investors that are interested in afforeste...

Introducing alien plants for urban horticulture and forestry may lead to their naturalisation invasion, bringing new challenges protecting native biodiversity cultural heritage in areas. Many old buildings monuments are threatened by invasive trees shrubs, which can damage structure physical physiological root processes increasing biomass of above-ground parts. The study aimed determine the flo...

Flowers are complex structures devoted to pollinator attraction, through visual as well as chemical signals. As bees collect nectar on flowers to produce honey, some aspects of floral chemistry are transferred to honey, making chemical markers an important technique to identify the botanical and geographical origins of honey. We applied a new approach that considers the simultaneous analysis of...

In Hungary, the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) can be considered as most important fast-growing, stand-forming introduced tree species. Due to its positive growing technological characteristics well wood utilization possibilities, at present, is widely planted species in covering 25% of country’s total forest area. One tasks ahead Hungarian growers improve quality stands with introducin...

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is one of the most widespread tree species introduced into Europe and also Hungary. It covers 24% total Hungarian forest area, providing 25% annual timber output country. Due to demands consumers, new cultivars are be produced by means improvement techniques practical forestry use. Mono- multiclonal were developed, then variety comparison trials cultivatio...

Natural regeneration is the natural process by which plants replace themselves. It is a cost-effective way to re-establish vegetation, and it helps to preserve genetic identity and diversity. In this study, we investigated the natural regeneration of trees in three types of afforested stands in the Taihang Mountains, China, which were dominated by Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust), Quercus va...
