This article deals with the breaking down of seed dormancy in black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) seeds. These seeds have a hard testa that is impermeable to water and air. In this investigation, were treated non-thermal plasma (NTP) for 0, 5, 10, 20 min. The had an eroded surface (SEM analysis) showed increased oxygen content (EDS) hydrophilicity (contact-angle measurement). exposed also hi...

The paper analyzes the elements of stand structure and proposes silvicultural measures to improve conditions in black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) common hackberry (Celtis occidentalis aged 28 years Subotica-Horgos sands. research was performed on three permanent experimental plots which selective thinning (T1 T2) experimentally two plots, while one left as a control plot (C).Initially, 528...

A bstract The correct selection of the species composition afforestation in relation to habitat conditions has a decisive impact on effects forest reclamation. In most reclaimed forestry areas Poland, stands enter prelogging period, and it is possible assess first economic production assessment was made based analysis size harvested wood during intermediate cutting heap former ‘Piaseczno’ openc...

A new species of the genus Mesopolobus Westwood, 1833, robiniae Lakatos & László sp. nov., is described and illustrated from east-central Europe (Romania Hungary). The was reared black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) seedpod samples, where it most likely parasitizes locust’s seed predator Bruchophagus Zerova, 1970. Here we present report on its ecological relationships within European com...

Understanding how rainfall is partitioned into throughfall, stemflow, and interception losses by xerophytic trees important for evaluating afforestation projects modeling hydrological budgets in semi-arid regions. However, information regarding partitioning the controlling factors regions remains underrepresented literature. We examined whether plant functional groups have a significant impact ...

Afforestation plays an important role in mitigating soil erosion and improving quality the Loess Plateau. However, there is no consistent conclusion about effect of tree species on properties. Robinia pseudoacacia, Pinus tabulaeformis, Malus pumila plantations were selected as research objects. Soil indices such content organic carbon (SOC) inorganic (SIC), density, aggregate stability, bulk de...
