e0“On the plantations in stressed environments there had been losses in the A. glutinosa stand, which had been spontaneously settled by other species of trees and shrubs, which increased species richness.”

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.
- Association Root suckers were relatively numerous at saline and waterlogged sites but not at the unstressed site.
- 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.
