“…Furthermore, microarthropod species richness can be affected by I. glandulifera invasion in terms of changes to the nutrient cycle, which may indirectly impact regeneration (Rusterholz et al, 2014). Apparent indirect competition however was observed for Amorpha fructicosa in poplar and willow habitat and for Ailanthus altissima and Robinia pseudoacacia in conifer and mixed forests (Radtke et al, 2013;Radovanovićet al, 2017). However, detailed studies analyzing the complexity of the indirect impact mechanisms of IAS in ecological network of European forest ecosystems are rare.…”

“…For example, structural changes caused by the invasion of a deciduous forest by Impatiens glandulifera are documented as becoming visible 5 years after the invasion and causing significant alterations after 13 years ( Rusterholz et al, 2017 ). Oak forests and riparian forests in particular are reported as being affected by the impact mechanism of structural changes caused by alien plants ( Kopeć et al, 2014 ; Nobis et al, 2016 ; Chudomelová et al, 2017 ; Nobis et al, 2017 ; Radovanović et al, 2017 ).…”

Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the major threats to global and local biodiversity. In forest ecosystems, the threats caused by IAS include hybridization, transmission of diseases and species competition. This review sets out to analyze the impact of alien plant species on forest regeneration, which we consider to be one of the key stages in tree ecology for the survival of forest ecosystems in the future. The focus of the study is directly relevant to practitioners, forest managers and the conservation management of forests. With this systematic review, we aim to provide an overview of 48 research studies reporting on the impact and/or management of IAS in European temperate forests. We followed a multi-step protocol for compiling the publications for the literature review, with nine search queries producing a total of 3,825 hits. After several reduction rounds, we ended up with a grand total of 48 papers. We identified 53 vascular plant species having a negative influence on forest regeneration in Central European forests. In total, 21 tree species are reported to be impacted by IAS in 24 studies. The results of the review synthesis show that five impact mechanisms affect the regeneration success of native tree species: competition for resources, chemical impact on regeneration, physical impact on regeneration, structural impact on regeneration and indirect impact through interaction with other species. We identified in our synthesis management measures that have been recommended for application at different stages of biological invasions. The associated costs and required resources of management measures are under-reported or not accessible by reviewing the scientific literature. We can thus conclude that it is very import to improve the links between science and practical forest management. We expect that this review will provide direction for invasive plant species research and management aimed at protecting biodiversity in European temperate forest ecosystems.

“…Riparian forests in urban areas, as well as diverse open moist habitats, play an important role in preserving the environment of many cities that are developing on the shores of large rivers. In addition to numerous anthropogenic impacts that endanger these fragile ecosystems, the presence and spread of invasive species, as a secondary consequence, may limit their basic functioning, ecosystem services and the importance for biodiversity protection (Radovanović et al, 2017).…”

The transformation of autochthonous habitats and ecosystems, the spatial distribution of which overlaps the territory with developing urban settlements, leads to a permanent destruction of their ecological stability and biodiversity impoverishment. The processes of conversion and fragmentation of habitats are simultaneously following the spreading of spatial and functional urban areas, whereby it is often possible to secure the survival of remaining species and their communities only through legal protection. The existing ecological effects in the nature protection process have been analyzed on the example of the protected areas located on the territory of the City of Belgrade. At the same time, the goal of this paper includes the consideration of potentials that, together with the process of protection of natural values, can be valorized in the context of sustainable development and provision of ecosystem services due to the adequate management of protected areas.

“…In the present study, the selected explanatory variables encompass a significant share of the driving factors. Many studies have indicated that most of the analysed factors were also found to be important in other protected wetland areas in Romania (Dumitraşcu et al 2011Dumitraşcu et al 2014;Grigorescu et al 2014), as well as in the other European countries (Blagojević et al 2015;Radovanović et al 2017;Delai et al 2018). In the present study, the model shows that A. fruticosa is mainly controlled by the soil, groundwater's availability, predominant vegetation type in the invaded areas and human-induced disturbance (forest fragmentation, roads extension).…”

The assessment of invasive terrestrial plant species in the Romanian protected areas is an important research direction, especially since the adventive species have become biological hazards with significant impacts on biodiversity. Due to limited resources being available for the control of the invasive plants, the modelling of the spatial potential distribution is particularly useful in order to find the best measures to eliminate them or prevent their introduction and spread, as well as including them in the management plans of protected areas. Thus, the present paper aims to assess one of the most disturbing invasive terrestrial plant species in Europe – A.fruticosa in one of the most important natural protected area in Romania, i.e. Mureş Floodplain Natural Park (V IUCN category and RAMSAR –Wetlands of International Importance). The current study is a geographical approach seeking to explain the spatial relationships between this invasive species and several explanatory factors (soil type, depth to water, vegetation cover, forest fragmentation and distance to near waters, roads and settlements) and to assess its potential distribution by integrating GIS and logistic regression into spatial simulation. The resultant probability map can be used by the park’s administration in implementing the Management Plan in terms of identifying the areas with the highest occurrence potential of A.fruticosa according to the primary habitats and ecosystems and setting up actions for its eradication/limitation.
