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...

The aim of this study was to characterize the properties of juvenile and mature heartwood of Robinia pseudoacacia L. (black locust). The content, the composition, and subcellular localization of heartwood extractives were studied in 14 old-grown trees from forest sites in Germany and Hungary, as well as in 16 younger trees of four clone types. Heartwood extractives (methanol and acetone extract...

Afforestation of contaminated areas is considered as a possible strategy for reduction of contaminations. In the present study, the effects of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) were investigated on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, Fo, and Fm), photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophyll), and proline in one-year-old seedlings of Celtis caucasica and Robinia pseudoacacia...

The use of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is still controversial, especially in managed forests, due to its invasive nature. has been proven effective reclamation degraded lands when native species are not an alternative the face climate change and desertification. Therefore, importance European ecosystems remains a matter debate. Of course, it adventitious originating from another cont...
