“…The study of the structural response of 52 Tilia cordata Mill. trees conducted in Munich (Germany) showed that growing conditions had a significant impact on the heightdiameter ratio in the presence of pronounced crown asymmetry (Bayer et al 2018). Moser et al (2015Moser et al ( , 2017 and Moser-Reischl et al (2019) in their studies analyzed the growth of Tilia cordata Mill.…”

Tilia cordata Mill. is considered to be the main tree species resistant to urban conditions and it is widely used in the greening of cities. The aim of the study is to assess the patterns of growth and development of small-leaved linden plantations in the urban environment. The research is based on the method of sample areas where continuous enumeration survey has been carried out. The study of urban greening objects was conducted using the methods of landscape assessment and complete enumeration of trees in alley plantings. It was found that Tilia cordata Mill. grows in all districts and zones of the city of Ufa, occupying 34.4% of green areas. During this research it was found that artificially created alley plantings of Tilia cordata Mill. are more well-kept and have well-developed crowns which create a tree shade sometimes 8-10 meters wide (the average crown projection being 7 m). Since alley plantings have repeatedly been pruned, trees in this area are characterized by a large increase in diameter and strong height growth stagnation. Thus, when studying linden plantings of the same age, a sharp difference in the size and shape of trees was observed.

“…Other studies were motivated by finding general scaling rules for trees at the tree level [36][37][38] and tracing them to the stand level [14,39,40]. Also, more practical reasons, such as designing tree removal by thinning [41], tree architecture [42], wood mechanics and wood quality estimation [43,44], and tree recognition by remote sensing [45][46][47], triggered the analyses of tree crown allometry. Furthermore, biomass, carbon and fuel wood estimation have recently promoted tree crown analysis [48][49][50][51].…”

Many recent studies have shown that the structure, density, and productivity of mixed-species stands can differ from the weighted mean of monospecific stands of the respective species. The tree and stand properties emerging by inter-specific neighborhood should be considered in models for understanding and practical management. A promising approach for this is a more realistic representation of the individual tree allometry in models and management concepts, as tree allometry determines many structural and functional aspects at the tree and stand level. Therefore, this paper is focused on the crown allometry in mixed and mono-specific stands. Firstly, we review species-specific differences in the crown allometry in monospecific stands. Secondly, we show how species-specific differences and complementarities in crown allometry can emerge in mixed-species stands. Thirdly, the consequences of allometric complementarity for the canopy packing density will be analyzed. Fourthly, we trace the crown allometry from the tree level to the stand density and show the relevance for the self-thinning in mixed versus monospecific stands. Fifth, the consequence of the findings for modeling and regulating tree and stand growth will be discussed. The review deals mainly with widespread even-aged, mono-layered stands, but the main results apply for more heterogeneous stands analogously.

“…Currently the planting of non-native, invasive species is not recommended worldwide not only in forests but also in urban green space [ 33 ]. Black locust is still a common tree in a large number of European cities [ 34 , 35 ]. Some specimens are old trees of high historical, aesthetical and landscape value.…”

Biotic and abiotic factors causing the collapse of Robinia pseudoacacia L. veteran trees in urban environments

Robinia pseudoacacia L. is an interesting example of how one plant species can be considered invasive or useful depending on its environment. In the past this tree species was planted for decorative purposes and for wood in Poland. For many years it was recommended in poor and degraded habitats because it facilitated late-successional plant species. The aim of this study was to verify if black locust can still be regarded as a resistant tree species in urban greenery. The health condition of old tree specimens growing along streets and in parks was compared. The occurrence of pests and pathogens on R. pseudoacacia trees was assessed and the content of mineral elements in leaves was examined. The research results showed that the health of black locust trees growing in the urban environment in Polish cities, especially along streets (in comparison to park sites), deteriorated significantly due to the interaction of harmful biotic and abiotic factors. Increased level of toxic metals (Fe, Zn, Pb, Mn and Cd) in plant tissues and the accumulation of pests and pathogens negatively influenced the health of R. pseudoacacia.
