Формирование монодоминантных сообществ клена ясенелистного (Acer negundo L.) на юге Дальнего Востока России

Abstract

In the south of the Russian Far East (Spassky and Chernigov districts of Primorsky Krai), two plant communities of secondary origin were first found, which include ash-leaved maple (Acer negundo L.), invasive species for Russia. It has been established that these communities occupy a small area (30×40 m2 and 20×20 m2) and include both typical aboriginal species — Manchurian ash (Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr.), Ussuri buckthorn (Rhamnus ussuriensis Ja. Vassil.), three-lobe beggartick (Bidens tripartita L.) and others, as well as introduced species — thicket creeper (Parthenocissus inserta (A. Kerner) Fritsch), Korean cherry (Microcerasus tomentosa (Thunb.) Eremin et Juschev), etc. The ability of ash-leaved maple to grow together with native species in initially disturbed territories forming secondary communities indicates the possibility of expanding the area of such communities in the future and gradual introduction of this species into local coenoses. Further monitoring is needed to identify similar communities with ash-leaved maple in the south of the Russian Far East.
