Descriptive and ecological assessment of the spread of invasive alien tree species


Identifying the factors involved in the spread of invasive tree species, describing the dynamics of the invasions and controlling these species has become increasingly important over the last few decades. The more we understand about the conditions and causes of their explosive population growth, the better we can offer alternatives to the conservation and economic efforts to control them. Our research focuses mainly on the most important invasive tree species in Hungary (and beyond), namely the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), the common hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), the boxelder (Acer negundo) and the black cherry (Prunus serotina).
