Traditional coppice forest management drives the invasion of Ailanthus altissima and Robinia pseudoacacia into deciduous forests (2013, background): “into semi-natural woodlands and how forest management activities can unintentionally favor these species (Kowarik and Böcker, 1984; Gutte et al., 1987; Celesti-Grapow and Blasi, 2004; Kowarik and Säumel, 2007; Basnou, 2009).”
Prevalence of alien versus native species of woody plants in Berlin differs between habitats and at different scales. (2013, background): “Moreover, Ailanthus altissima responds quickly to disturbance by regenerating vegetatively (Kowarik & Säumel 2007), which is likely to be highly advantageous in habitats subject to repeated disturbances.”
Effects of exotic invasive trees on nitrogen cycling: a case study in Central Spain (2009, background): “Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle is a Simabouracea, native to China, and introduced in Europe during the eighteenth century ( Kowarik and Saumel 2007 ).”
Plant invasions on small Mediterranean islands: An overview (2016, background): “In fact, the detection of those taxa that are still in an early phase of invasion has become an important issue in both the research on and management of invasive species only in these last years, especially following the regulation adopted by the European Union on invasive alien species (EU 2014), ”
Water dispersal as an additional pathway to invasions by the primarily wind-dispersed tree Ailanthus altissima (2008, background): “altissima have been shown to respond positively to elevated temperatures (Kowarik and Säumel 2007), we expect increasing floodplain invasions towards the northern limits of its current range.”
The ecology of urban areas and their functions for species diversity (2011, neutral): “Species whose natural distribution areas lie further south can selectively move the borders of their native environment further north (Luniak 2004; Kowarik and Säumel 2007).”
Controlling invasive plant species in ecological restoration: A global review (2020, background): “Ailanthus altissima was one of the most common invasive angiosperm trees, threatening natural ecosystems in the United States, Australia and Europe, quickly forming homogeneous populations that hamper natural succession (Kowarik & Säumel, 2007).”
Divergence from the growth–survival trade‐off and extreme high growth rates drive patterns of exotic tree invasions in closed‐canopy forests (2010, background): “Kowarik & Säumel (2007) report higher shade tolerance in A. altissima root suckers than in true seedlings which may allow the species to invade shadier areas via its root system.”
An inventory of invasive alien species in China (2012, background): “Today, it is not only invasive in many parts of the world (Kowarik and Säumel 2007) but also started to invade areas in China beyond its native range, e.g., in the Xinjiang province since the 1990s (Huang 1997, Säumel, personal communication).”
Modelling spread of British wind‐dispersed plants under future wind speeds in a changing climate (2012, background): “It reproduces by seed and clonally (we consider dispersal only by seed), and the seeds are winged (Kowarik & Säumel 2007).”
Changes in the Functional Composition of a Central European Urban Flora over Three Centuries (2010, background): “Swingle or Robinia pseudoacacia L. (Kowarik and Säumel, 2007), increasing species numbers of shrubs and trees in the urban flora.”
