The Properties of Black Locust Robinia pseudoacacia L. to Selectively Accumulate Chemical Elements from Soils of Ecologically Transformed Areas

Dorota Srodek et al.

Summary: The black locust, originally from North America, is introduced and considered invasive in Europe. This study investigated its chemical composition in different habitats in southern Poland. The results showed high levels of heavy metal contamination in the soils, with cadmium, lead, and zinc being the main pollutants. The leaves of black locust were found to be the primary carrier of potentially toxic elements. The study suggests that black locusts have the potential to be used for urban greening and ecosystem restoration in polluted areas.

Behind the general pattern of forest loss and gain: A long-term assessment of semi-natural and secondary forest cover change at country level

Marianna Biro et al.

Summary: Despite deforestation globally, forest cover is increasing in many European landscapes, mainly due to plantations and spontaneous forest growth. However, the proportion of semi-natural forests is declining, which is essential for local and landscape-level conservation strategies and sustainable forest management.

Citizen science plant observations encode global trait patterns

Sophie Wolf et al.

Summary: By comparing global vegetation trait patterns derived from citizen science data with those from scientific survey plots, the authors found high correlations between the two approaches and improvements over previously published trait maps. With the increasing popularity of species identification apps, citizen scientists contribute to growing vegetation data collections, playing a significant role in improving maps of plant functional traits.

High and rising economic costs of biological invasions worldwide

Christophe Diagne et al.

Summary: Biological invasions have led to significant impacts on global economy and biodiversity, with costs showing a rapid increase over time. The study reveals that the damage costs of biological invasions are significantly higher than management expenditures, highlighting the need for further improvement in research methods.

Land use and climate change interaction triggers contrasting trajectories of biological invasion

Syed Amir Manzoor et al.

Summary: Global change drivers such as land use and climate changes interact in their effects on biodiversity, impacting the spread of invasive species. A study on Rhododendron ponticum in Wales found that habitat suitability may decrease by 2030 in most scenarios, but extreme scenarios involving accelerated land use change and greenhouse gas emissions could lead to an increase in habitat suitability. Regional policy-based land use change projections are crucial for assessing the potential expansion or retreat of invasive species in the future.

Crowd-sourced plant occurrence data provide a reliable description of macroecological gradients

Miguel D. Mahecha et al.

Summary: Deep learning algorithms are used to classify plant species accurately and smartphone applications are used to identify them in the field. The study analyzes data collected through the mobile app Flora Incognita and compares it to plant occurrence data collected by floristic experts. Macroecological patterns are detected in both data sets, highlighting the importance of factors like temperature, wind dynamics, water content, and soil texture in shaping species composition. Automated species identification may soon enable real-time monitoring of macroecological patterns, but biases in crowd-sourced data must be carefully considered for effective conservation measures.

Natura 2000 Areas, Road, Railway, Water, and Ecological Networks May Provide Pathways for Biological Invasion: A Country Scale Analysis

Peter Szilassi et al.

Summary: The study revealed that tree of heaven and Russian olive were more likely to occur near road and railway networks, while black locust and goldenrods predominantly distributed along the road network. Some investigated invasive plants were found to be over-represented in certain areas of Hungary compared to non-infected points. The results may provide valuable information for predicting invasion rates and implementing targeted management strategies within specific protected areas.

Deep learning and citizen science enable automated plant trait predictions from photographs

Christopher Schiller et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with data from citizen science and professional science to accurately predict plant functional traits. By incorporating prior knowledge and utilizing CNN ensembles, the accuracy of predictions can be significantly improved. This approach is able to generalize across different regions in terms of plant growth forms, taxonomy, and biomes.

Effects of the Invasive Tree Species Ailanthus altissima on the Floral Diversity and Soil Properties in the Pannonian Region

Andras Demeter et al.

Summary: Tree-of-heaven is one of the most dangerous and widespread invasive woody plant species in Europe. A study in Central Europe found that mature A. altissima-dominated stands can displace other species through shading and allelopathy, reducing canopy layer diversity. However, an increase in shrub layer species richness was positively correlated with soil humus and ammonia content, suggesting potential opportunities for regeneration in areas affected by A. altissima.
