Invasive Acer platanoides inhibits native sapling growth in forest understorey communities
1. Over three growing seasons, we tested how an invasive tree species ( Acer platanoides ) affected native plant growth in understorey communities of a suburban forest in central New Jersey, USA. We planted similar aged and sized saplings ( ≥ 0.25 m tall) into experimental plots identified with one of three treatments (0%, 25% and 50% of total stems are invasive species) and hypothesized native...
متن کاملA Comparison of Invasive Acer platanoides and Native A. saccharum First-Year Seedlings: Growth, Biomass Distribution and the Influence of Ecological Factors in a Forest Understory
Invasive shade tolerant species can have profound and long-lasting detrimental effects even on previously undisturbed forests. In North American forests, the invasive Acer platanoides is capable of dominating the understory where it could displace the native Acer saccharum. To understand the relative importance of various ecological factors in a forest understory on their establishment, we tran...
متن کاملInvasion through quantitative effects: intense shade drives native decline and invasive success.
The effects of invasive nonnative species on community composition are well documented. However, few studies have determined the mechanisms by which invaders drive these changes. The literature indicates that many nonnative plant species alter light availability differently than natives in a given community, suggesting that shading may be such a mechanism. We compared light quantity (photosynth...
متن کاملRed reveals branch die-back in Norway maple Acer platanoides.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Physiological data suggest that autumn leaf colours of deciduous trees are adaptations to environmental stress. Recently, the evolution of autumn colouration has been linked to tree condition and defence. Most current hypotheses presume that autumn colours vary between tree individuals. This study was designed to test if within-tree variation should be taken into account in ...
متن کاملAcer pseudoplAtAnus L., Acer plAtAnoides L. and BetulA pendulA Roth. as bioindicatoRs of uRban poLLution in sofia
Acer pseudoplatanus L., Acer platanoides L. and Betula pendula Roth. have been studied under the urban pollution in Sofia during 3 years period. The aim of the study was, by statistical multifactorial analysis, to assess the value changes in morphological parameters of species under air pollution and potential for species usage as bioindicators in observed regions. The statistical analysis incl...
