Litter decomposition in southern Appalachian black locust and pine-hardwood stands: litter quality and nitrogen dynamics

Litter decomposition in southern Appalachian black locust and pine-hardwood stands: litter quality and nitrogen dynamics. Can. J. For. Res. 18: 54-63. To compare litter decomposition and nitrogen (N) dynamics in 16-year-old black locust and pine-hardwood forest stands, weight loss, N concentration, and litter quality of the dominant species in each stand were monitored for 863 days, using litte...

Carbon sequestration of mature black locust stands on the Loess Plateau, China

In Northwestern China, the carbon fixing capacity of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) has been questioned because of its slow growth following the return of unproductive farmland to forest. To explore the effects of stand age on the carbon sequestration potential of R. pseudoacacia in a semi-arid, ecologically fragile area, parameters related to carbon fixation were investigated in plots of ...

Assessment Some of Heavy Metals in Black Locust (Robinia pseudoascacia) in the Yazd Highway Green Belt

The aim of this study is to analysis the performance of Robinia pseudoascacia (black locust tree) to accumulation some of heavy metals and compared with the concentration of these metals in falling dust Yazd highway green belt. In order to an experiment was conducted as factorial based on completely randomized design with four replications.The results showed that the concentration of, ...

Study of Phenological Changes in Black Locust using Descriptive Methods and Quantitative Analysis

    Studying the phenological stages and determining their occurrence in different biological conditions is useful instrumental in restoring and selecting the bases in forestry. Therefore, descriptive method and quantitative analysis were used to study the phenology of Black Locust (Robinia pesudoacacia L.). In descriptive method, the phenomenological observations were recorded during the speci...
