In the context of global change, the integration of non-native tree (NNT) species into
European forestry is increasingly being discussed. The ecological consequences of …

Robinia pseudoacacia is one of the most frequent non‐native species in Europe. It is a fast‐
growing tree of high economic and cultural importance. On the other hand, it is an invasive …

Alien tree species are considered both a threat to nature conservation and a base for forest
management. We compiled species occurrences from biodiversity databases, forest …

Forest biodiversity world‐wide is affected by climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation,
and today 20% of the forest area is located within 100 m of a forest edge. Still, forest edges …

We estimated climate niche shifts and threat levels under various climate change scenarios
for Vaccinium myrtillus L. and V. vitis-idaea L. We developed the MaxEnt species distribution …

While near-natural forest stands are dramatically diminishing, monoculture tree plantations
are rapidly spreading globally, including the eastern part of Central Europe. Tree plantations …

Invasive tree species decrease ecosystem resilience with negative impacts on natural
regeneration. The influence of alien tree species on ecosystems is unevenly recognized and …

Understory plants are one of the important components of forest biological diversity and play
important roles in forest function. Although convincing evidence exists that mixed-species …

Abstract Two European pine species, Pinus sylvestris and Pinus nigra, are experiencing
dieback as a result of the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events …

Despite good recognition of distributions and spread mechanisms of the three most invasive
trees in Europe (Prunus serotina, Quercus rubra and Robinia pseudoacacia), their impacts …
