“…We found also that some species occur mainly in forests (Fo) on rusty soils (Rs). Q. rubra and P. serotina were intentionally introduced in forests of European countries and beyond, e.g., in Italy in temperate deciduous woodland patches of the Po plain, in the Lombardy region, or Ukraine, France, Germany, and the British Isles [ 60 , 61 ]. The soils occupied by these species are therefore mainly conditioned by places of their introduction.…”

Invasive alien species (IAS) is a global problem that largely relates to human activities and human settlements. To prevent the further spread of IAS, we first need to know their pattern of distribution, to determine which constitutes the greatest threat, and understand which habitats and migration pathways they prefer. Our research aimed to identify the main vectors and distribution pattern of IAS of plants in the city environment. We checked the relations between species distribution and such environmental factors as urban soil type and habitat type. We applied data on IAS occurrence (collected in the period 1973–2015) in 515 permanent plots with dimensions of 0.5 × 0.5 km and analyzed by direct ordination methods. In total, we recorded 66 IAS. We found a 27% variance in the IAS distribution pattern, which can be explained by statistically significant soil and habitat types. The most important for species distribution were: river and alluvial soils, forests and related rusty soils, and places of intensive human activities, including areas of urbisols and industriosols. Our results provide details that can inform local efforts for the management and control of invasive species, and they provide evidence of the different associations between natural patterns and human land use.

“…It is thus particularly relevant to understand how multi‐trophic community composition changes for different mixtures of these species. Of particular note is that red oak is a non‐native species sometimes considered problematic for biodiversity (Campagnaro et al., 2018; Chmura, 2013; Dyderski et al., 2020). In marked contrast, pedunculate oak is considered a useful reservoir for multiple aspects of biodiversity (Böhm et al., 2011; Penone et al., 2019; Southwood et al., 2004).…”

Overstorey composition shapes across‐trophic level community relationships in deciduous forest regardless of fragmentation context

et al. 2021

Communities across trophic levels, and the functional roles they play, are vital for the sustained provision of ecosystem services. In forest systems, diversification of overstorey composition has been shown to be a key driver of biodiversity, but its influence on across‐trophic level relationships remains scarcely known. Species across trophic levels in varied overstorey compositions are also differentially susceptible to fragmentation context. We hypothesise that fragmentation will disrupt community relationships associated with particular overstorey compositions. We test this hypothesis using a tree diversity research platform across 53 deciduous woodland plots in central Belgium. We estimate species’ abundances within nine, generally taxonomic, community groups across trophic levels: understorey vegetation; leaf miners and gall formers; woodlice, millipedes; carabid beetles, harvestmen, spiders, birds, bats. We use multiple co‐inertia analyses to examine how taxonomic and trophic role community matrices covary across gradients of overstorey composition, via three different tree species diversification pathways, and fragmentation. For all trophic role groups, across all plots, there was at least one significant pairwise comparison. Apart from comparisons involving bats, there was at least one significant pairwise correlation between taxonomic groups too. These results indicate correlated community matrices across trophic levels. Overstorey composition related to community tightness, that is, the level of co‐ordinated change among taxonomic and/or trophic role groups as revealed by multiple co‐inertia analyses. Notably, diversifying woodlands of beech Fagus sylvatica or red oak Quercus rubra with pedunculate oak Quercus robur correlated with increased taxonomic community tightness. Diversifying pedunculate oak forest stands with other overstorey species related to unchanged community tightness. Evidence was lacking for fragmentation affecting community tightness, singly or by interacting with overstorey composition. Synthesis. Overall, changing tree species composition and fragmentation level affected across‐trophic level community relationships differently. Yet, we demonstrated a clear signal that diversifying monoculture stands with particular species correlated with greater community tightness, and co‐ordinated change among sets of community groups, across trophic levels and regardless of fragmentation context. We postulate that having tighter community relationships suggests that measures to improve biodiversity at one trophic level (i.e. trees) could affect other groups, and their associated roles, in a co‐ordinated manner.

“…However, growing in high density, Q. rubra negatively impacts other plant species (e.g. Marozas et al 2009;Woziwoda et al 2014a;Chmura 2020) and because of that it is noted in some European countries as an invasive tree (Dyderski et al 2020, and references therein). Studies on Vaccinium myrtillus revealed that in the presence of Q. rubra, biomass allocation to shoots is modi ed and berry production signi cantly decreases (Woziwoda et al 2019b), despite the fact that bilberry is a plant with a relatively wide range of ecological tolerance to habitat conditions and their changes (Nestby et al 2011).…”

Background: Multi-purpose use of forests in a sustainable way forces a recognition of how alien woody species introduction in forests with different land use history affect native plants other than trees. Lingonberry Vaccinium vitis-idaea is an important understory component of temperate and boreal forests and provider of valuable non-wood forest products. Here we studied effects of land use changes and introduction of Northern red oak Quercus rubra on lingonberry in a mesic Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) forests (in central Poland). We measured lingonberry cover, height of shoots, biomass of stems and leaves, and fruit productivity. Shoots were collected within 200 research plots located in recent and ancient Scots pine forests, with and without Q. rubra.Results: We found that V. vitis-idaea reached lower cover, aboveground biomass and fruit production in recent than ancient forests and in forests with than without Q. rubra. The fruit production in recent pine forest was only 2% of that reported in ancient pine forest, and V. vitis-idaea did not reproduce generatively in forests with Q. rubra. Biomass and carbon sequestration of V. vitis-idaea in forests with alien (invasive) tree decreased by 75% compared to ancient pine forest. Effects were also clear at the individual shoot level – in less suitable conditions we found taller heights and higher biomass allocation into stems than foliage. Biomass allocation in fruiting and non-fruiting shoots in pine forests was also different – less of the dry biomass of fruiting shoots was allocated to leaves than to stems.Conclusions: In the age of high interest in ecosystem services and discussions about usage of alien tree species as alternatives in forest management, our results clearly indicate disruption of ecosystem services provided by V. vitis-idaea in the presence of Q. rubra. Lingonberry benefited from the continuity of forest land use, however, regardless of land-use legacy, alien tree introduction, led to decline in abundance of species crucial for ecosystem functioning. Therefore, to maintain valuable native species and for conservation of ecosystem services delivery, we suggest limiting the introducing Q. rubra in areas with abundant V. vitis-idaea, especially in forests with continuous forest land-use history.
