Comparing impacts of plant extracts and pure allelochemicals and implications for pest control. (2009, background): “altissima bark extract declined within the first few weeks after application, suggesting rapid degradation under field conditions [222].”
Neighbourhood analyses of the allelopathic effects of the invasive tree Ailanthus altissima in temperate forests (2008, background): “At least 10 quassinoids, together with alkaloids and other secondary products, have been isolated from different parts of the plant (see references in Heisey & Heisey 2003 ).”
Effects of exotic invasive trees on nitrogen cycling: a case study in Central Spain (2009, background): “Although the studied chemical properties did not differ between both species, Ailanthus leaves are known to possess allelopathic compounds, such as ailanthone, that are toxic to numerous plant species in the laboratory ( Heisey and Heisey 2003; Kowarik and Saumel 2007).”
