e0“at the saline and waterlogged sites black alder trees had relatively large number of root suckers, whereas in non-stressed site this was not the case.”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Salinity limited black alder height, diameter and growth success.
- Association Salinity affected tree variability, growth form and growth pattern.
- Observation Salinity effects were comparable with effects at the waterlogged site.
- Observation Growth models showed similarly reduced growth dynamics at saline and waterlogged sites.
- Association Diameter and height variation was similar at saline and waterlogged sites and higher than at the unstressed site.
- Observation Stressed plantations lost alder trees and were colonized by other trees and shrubs, increasing species richness.
- Observation Other trees and shrubs spontaneously settled stressed alder stands and increased species richness.
- Recommendation The authors consider black alder an option for brackish coastal planting when conservation and watershed management matter.
