Asbestos is widely mined and used around the globe posing a great risk to environment and human health. The main objective of this study was to determine allelopathic potential of Robinia pseudoacacia L. and Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle growing on the asbestos deposits at abandoned mine ?Stragari? in central Serbia. The pH, content of carbon, nitrogen, calcium carbonate, available phosphorous and potassium, content of Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, Mn, and phenolics were analyzed in the control asbestos (zones without vegetation cover) and plant rhizospheric asbestos. Allelopathic activity of plant species was assessed by ?rhizosphere soil method?, and Trifolium pratense L. and Medicago sativa L. were used as the indicator species. A. altissima showed higher allelopathic potential compared to R. pseudoacacia for T. pratense and M. sativa due to greater content of phenolics. Alleopathic activity of phenolics in rhizospheric asbestos was highly correlated with pH, content of carbon and nitrogen, available phosphate and potassium, and content of Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb and Mn. A. altissima increased phenolics content in rhizospheric asbestos inhibiting the plant growth. This woody plant in spite of high allelopathic potential is suitable for revegetation of distrurbed ecosystems because it initiates pedogenesis and affects the asbestos chemistry.

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), a native species of North America, has found a specific and efficient Rhizobium strain in French soils. Ultrastructural studies of young nodules showed that infection of the host cell occurred by numerous infection threads. Rhizobia are liberated in the cell by endocytotic processes. No important differences were found between rhizobia in the infection threads and bacteroids in the host cell; the bacteroid cells were only enlarged, without any structural change. This Rhizobium strain is a "fast grower".Roots were also infected by an endomycorrhizal fungus producing numerous vesicles and arbuscules in the root cortex.Nitrogen-fixing activity, assayed by the acetylene reduction method, was measurable only 5 to 10 days after nodular development. Until the 50th day after seed germination, the activity increased slowly, then more rapidly. By the 80th day, fixing activity was about 9 μmol/h per plant.No relationships between the form, age, and fixing activity of the nodules were found.

Immovable objects of cultural heritage are inextricably linked to the place where they are located. The preservation of the object itself and its perception in the historical context guarantees the immutability of the protected area. Pyatigorsk historical and cultural heritage sites were used to assess the stability of their associated landscapes. The transformation of historical landscapes over time was established as a result of field research and analysis of the photo bank of data over a 125-year period. Landscape changes are associated with changes in vegetation during biological invasions, that is, they are the result of a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors. Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco, Laburnum anagyroides Medik., Syringa vulgaris L. participate in the transformation of the landscape of the Lermontov grotto, and Robinia pseudoacacia L., Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle, and Parthenocissus quinquefolia (L.) Planch. participate in the transformation of the landscape of the Diana’s Grotto. All of them in previous years were introduced to the culture for use in landscaping Pyatigorsk. Their distribution and introduction to local cenoses began at the end of the XX century, after they entered the stage of naturalization. The listed invasive species have different geographical origins (Europe, Eas t Asia, North America) and belong to different life forms (coniferous tree, deciduous tree, deciduous shrub, deciduous liana). Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco, Syringa vulgaris L., Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle are phytocenozotransformers, that is, they are dangerous not only for the landscapes of cultural heritage sites, but also for native plant communities. Robinia pseudoacacia L., Parthenocissus quinquefolia (L.) Planch. And Laburnum anagyroides Medik. are currently epectophytes, which does not exclude the possibility of their transition to agriophytes. The restoration of historical landscapes requires human intervention.

AbstractThe black locust (Robinia pseudoacaciaL.) has been present in Poland for more than 200 years now, its range coming to encompass the entire country, albeit with a particular concentration of occurrence in the west. Overall, it is present in 3.4% of the stands making up Poland’s “State Forests National Forest Holding” (Państwowe Gospodarstwo Leśne Lasy Państwowe), and is the dominant species in 0.1% of stands. Thanks to its producing durable wood of favourable energetic properties, this species is used in medium-rotation (≤ 40-year) plantations as well as in biomass energy plantations (where there is a 5–7-year rotation). In terms of its nectar production, the black locust is second only to lime as the Polish tree best serving the production of honey. While the species shows marked expansiveness in Poland, it has not thus far been placed on the list of aliens capable of threatening native species or natural habitats. Breeding of the species has been engaged in – if to only a limited extent – in Poland for some 20 years now, and 2 selected seed stands have been registered, as well as 34 plus trees and 2 seed orchards.

The nature and rate of breakdown of food reserves in cotyledons varied markedly among species. Embryonic cotyledons of Acer negundo L. stored mostly proteins, whereas those of Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle were fat-storing. Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh, cotyledons contained nearly equal quantities of lipids and proteins (45% of dry weight for each) as did those of Robinia pseudoacacia L. (25% dry weight for each). Total nonstructural carbohydrate contents of embryonic cotyledons of Acer and Robinia (exalbuminous species) were considerably higher than those of Ailanthus or Fraxinus (albuminous species). Carbohydrate contents of Acer and Robinia cotyledons initially decreased, but carbohydrate contents of all four species increased rapidly as cotyledons became chlorophyllous and photosynthetic. Synthesis of cotyledonary chlorophyll and emergence of cotyledons occurred faster for seedlings of Acer and Robinia than for those of Ailanthus and Fraxinus. Protein and lipid contents of cotyledons of all four species declined as cotyledons matured after germination.

Kutatásunk során két fás-szárú özönfajunk: a fehér akác (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) és a mirigyes bálványfa (Ailanthus altissima Mill.) gazdasági potenciálját; visszaszorításának költségeit; és ezek elemeit vizsgáltuk 5 év viszonylatában. Kérdőívet küldtünk ki az érintett állami intézményeknek (nemzeti park igazgatóságok és állami erdőgazdaságok), publikus háttér-információkat gyűjtöttünk, illetve telefonos interjúkat végeztünk az adatok kiegészítéseként. Az adatok kiértékelése során azt tapasztaltuk, hogy a nemzeti park igazgatóságoknak jelentős költségeket jelentett a fehér akác visszaszorítása, melyeket nem tudtak kompenzálni az értékesítésből származó bevételeik. Az állami erdőgazdaságok esetében viszont minden évben a kiadások többszöröse jelentkezett bevételként. A mirigyes bálványfa minden területen negatív megítélés alá esett, értékesíteni nem tudták.
