“…Adventive species with CR strategy (combination of signs of violents and explerents) are 2.3%. These are very strong competitors, which are expansive transformers, species with long ontogenesis, coeno-populations of which cover several stages of succession (Protopopova et al 2014), that suppress other species -A. negundo, R. pseudoacacia.…”

“…Quantitative indicators of dendroflora taxa of the studied FSB in general are as follows: families -29, genera -24, species -29, which belong to the Division of Magnoliophyta (30 species) and the Division of Pinophyta (1 species), including adventive species -15, nitrophilic species -5 (16.1%). The dendroflora adventization index is 50.0%, which is due to direct human intervention (planting of introducents), to a lesser extent -self-settlement of transformer species A. negundo, R. pseudacacia (Protopopova et al 2014) and Juglans regia L. Wild introducents (ergasiophytes) make up almost 30% of adventive species, of which the most common are North American species: A. negundo, R. pseudoacacia, Q. rubra, P. quinquefolia (L.) Planch.…”

The aim of this article is to assess the structure of biodiversity of field protective forest shelter belts to determine the directions of increasing their reclamation and conservation potential in the organic agricultural landscape. Methods of comparative ecology (synecological approach, assessment of α-diversity), forestry, geobotany, ornithology and statistical analysis are used. Changes in species diversity of plants and birds in forest shelter belts around organic fields are characterized. It is established that plantations with developed undergrowth and under-storey are transformed due to the loss of up to 43.5% of trees, liquefaction of the edificatory tier. Transformer species with a wide phytocenotic range predominate in the tree stands. The grass tier is dominated by ruderants (36.5%) and adventive species (24.5%). The share (60%) of species with a mixed life strategy indicates changes in moisture conditions and soil trophism. A 2.4% of shade-loving plants and the presence of 14.7% nitrophils indicate an imbalance in the structure of forest shelter belts. Depletion of species composition, ecological and trophic structure of bird groups testify to the decrease in the capacity of forest shelter belts and their statio diversity, reduction of protective, environment-creating functions and other ecosystem services. In the three-tiered dense forest shelter belts with developed undergrowth and understorey, 10–27 species of birds nest. In general, avifauna is represented by 2 ecological groups (93.1% dendrophiles, 6.9% sclerophiles), divided into 5 types of nesting strategy (with a predominance of hollow-nests 37.0–53.3%), and 5 types of feeding (with a predominance of entomophagous 70.4–90.0%). Twenty-nine species have been identified on nesting, 27 of which are subject to protection at the level of international agreements. There are no adventive species, the index of synanthropization of avifauna is high – 0.85–1.0. For organic technologies to increase the potential of biological protection of fields from entomological pests by attracting insectivorous birds is relevant.

“…Some representatives of this family are reported as invasive (Tokarska-Guzik et al 2012). Among them, we can distinguish a transformer category subset (Protopopova et al 2014) that includes species changing the character, condition, form, or nature of ecosystems (Richardson et al 2000; Tokarska-Guzik et al 2012). According to literature (Wang and Qiu 2006; Štajerová et al 2009) and our own observations (Majewska et al 2015; Zubek et al 2016), the transformers from Asteraceae are usually highly mycorrhizal.…”

The growth and phosphorus acquisition of invasive plants Rudbeckia laciniata and Solidago gigantea are enhanced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

While a number of recent studies have revealed that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can mediate invasive plant success, the influence of these symbionts on the most successful and high-impact invaders is largely unexplored. Two perennial herbs of this category of invasive plants, Rudbeckia laciniata and Solidago gigantea (Asteraceae), were thus tested in a pot experiment to determine whether AMF influence their growth, the concentration of phosphorus in biomass, and photosynthesis. The following treatments, including three common AMF species, were prepared on soils representative of two habitats that are frequently invaded by both plants, namely fallow and river valley: (1) control—soil without AMF, (2) Rhizophagus irregularis, (3) Funneliformis mosseae, and (4) Claroideoglomus claroideum. The invaders were strongly dependent on AMF for their growth. The mycorrhizal dependency of R. laciniata was 88 and 63 % and of S. gigantea 90 and 82 % for valley and fallow soils, respectively. The fungi also increased P concentration in their biomass. However, we found different effects of the fungal species in the stimulation of plant growth and P acquisition, with R. irregularis and C. claroideum being the most and least effective symbionts, respectively. None of AMF species had an impact on the photosynthetic performance indexes of both plants. Our findings indicate that AMF have a direct effect on the early stages of R. laciniata and S. gigantea growth. The magnitude of the response of both plant species to AMF was dependent on the fungal and soil identities. Therefore, the presence of particular AMF species in a site may determine the success of their invasion.
