Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Seedling growth of the tree species was primarily determined by species identity and time.
- Association Seedlings of A. platanoides and A. pseudoplatanus reached the greatest height and root collar diameter, outperforming P. sylvestris and P. serotina.
- Observation Leaves of A. pseudoplatanus had the highest phosphorus content among the species.
- Observation Leaves of P. serotina had the lowest levels of most macronutrients except magnesium.
- Association Substrates associated with P. serotina showed rapid depletion of nitrate, ammonium and magnesium.
- Association Prunus serotina has a pronounced influence on soil properties in stands of native species.
- Association Acer pseudoplatanus and Acer platanoides show the highest competitive potential against invasive P. serotina.
- Recommendation Acer pseudoplatanus and Acer platanoides are suitable candidates for restoring stands affected by P. serotina.
