Ecology, growth and management of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), a non-native species integrated into European forests
Résumé
Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), a species native to the eastern North America, was introduced to Europe probably in 1601 and currently extends over 2.3 × 10 6 ha. It has become naturalized in all sub-Mediterranean and temperate regions rivaling Populus spp. as the second most planted broadleaved tree species worldwide after Eucalyptus spp. This wide-spreading planting is because black locust is an important multipurpose species, producing Project funding: This study was not funded by any source but carried out voluntarily by a group of people (university staff, researchers, practitioners) interested in the ecology, growth and yield and management of black locust.
