A tree-ring perspective on the invasion of Ailanthus altissima in protection forests

2015-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Since around the 1950s the invasive tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle) is spreading in several forests of southern Switzerland. To estimate the implications of the invasion of A. altissima in forests protecting humans and infrastructure from rockfall (protection forests) we compared stem growth dynamics and decay frequency of A. altissima with sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) one of its mai...
