You Can’t See the Woods for the Trees: Invasive Acer negundo L. in Urban Riparian Forests Harms Biodiversity and Limits Recreation Activity

Abstract: Public access to high quality green environments has become a key issue for city managers and a matter of environmental justice. Urban pressures on ecosystem remnants may act to favor the expansion of some invasive species in cities. Whilst the negative impacts of invasive species on ecosystem function is well documented, little is known about how invasive species influence the use of green space by people. Here, we examined one of the few remnants of urban riparian forests in Europe, the Vistula river valley … Show more

“…If the biomass dries out toward the end of summer and at the beginning of autumn in association with the end of the growing season, fruits and seeds ripen and above-ground parts of plants gradually die. In this period, the representation of dicotyledons such as Acer negundo, Artemisia vulgaris, Medicago sativa, Melilotus officinalis, and Rosa canina is particularly important [48][49][50]. The biomass of these species increases the risk of fire.…”

“…The first group of analyses addresses all urban degraded areas, both built-up post-industrialised and lost or uninvested open spaces [51]. Most of the evaluation studies also discuss specific issues such as the accessibility assessments of these places [52], economic and recreational values [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] and only natural values or quality of the natural environment of abandoned urban spaces [1,27,63]. The second group of analyses concerns public spaces on the city scale, which might be used for comparative analyses of other similar areas or in the context of ecosystem services [6,21,22,[64][65][66].…”

“…Roślinność łęgów Populetum albae var. Acer negundo w strefie miast jest szczególnie silnie podatna na antropopresję (Dyderski i Jagodziński, 2019a;Sikorska et al, 2019). Zanik epizodycznych zalewów spowodowany zmianami klimatu i regulacjami koryta górnego biegu, postępujący proces grądowienia i wynikający z tego ciąg sukcesyjny prowadzi do regresji zespołu.…”

“…Zagęszczenie zdrewniałych pędów roślin w nieużytkach znajdujących się w dolinie rzecznej jest zbliżone do zagęszczenia spotykanego w łęgach o podobnym wieku (Sikorska et al, 2019). Może to wynikać z powszechnie występujących na tych nieużytkach topól i wierzb, które dzięki bardzo dużym obwodom pni zawyżają ogólne zagęszczenie zdrewniałych pędów.…”
