Phenological description of Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle using the BBCH-scale: Groundwork for developing strategies to control invasive species and mitigate potential allergy risks
Alien species pose a growing threat to biodiversity and ecosystems due to their capacity to establish and proliferate beyond their native ranges. Among them, Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle ranks among the most concerning species globally, especially across the Mediterranean basin, where its spread continues to intensify. Native to China and northern Vietnam, this tree has been widely introduced for ornamental purposes. Its invasive success facilitates the displacement of native flora, disruption of ecological processes, and significant impacts on public health due to its allergenic potential, including in urban areas. This study applies the BBCH-scale to describe the full phenological cycle of a population in Cuenca (Spain). A total of 20 adult individuals were monitored (10 males and 10 females) leading to identify 8 of the 10 main BBCH-scale stages and 41 secondary stages, covering the entire cycle from bud emergence to leaf senescence, while linear interpolation was used for the temporal analysis of stage duration. Additionally, statistical comparisons between sexes were conducted using one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey HSD test, while Pearson’s correlation analysis assessed to correlate these patterns with meteorological conditions, highlighting the influence of key meteorological variables (temperature, relative humidity, insolation and precipitation) on phenophase timing. These findings demonstrate that the BBCH-scale offers a precise framework to monitor phenology in this species, supporting improved management of invasive populations and enabling better forecasting of pollen release, crucial for public health monitoring in areas with high allergy incidence.
期刊介绍:
Urban Forestry and Urban Greening is a refereed, international journal aimed at presenting high-quality research with urban and peri-urban woody and non-woody vegetation and its use, planning, design, establishment and management as its main topics. Urban Forestry and Urban Greening concentrates on all tree-dominated (as joint together in the urban forest) as well as other green resources in and around urban areas, such as woodlands, public and private urban parks and gardens, urban nature areas, street tree and square plantations, botanical gardens and cemeteries.
The journal welcomes basic and applied research papers, as well as review papers and short communications. Contributions should focus on one or more of the following aspects:
-Form and functions of urban forests and other vegetation, including aspects of urban ecology.
-Policy-making, planning and design related to urban forests and other vegetation.
-Selection and establishment of tree resources and other vegetation for urban environments.
-Management of urban forests and other vegetation.
Original contributions of a high academic standard are invited from a wide range of disciplines and fields, including forestry, biology, horticulture, arboriculture, landscape ecology, pathology, soil science, hydrology, landscape architecture, landscape planning, urban planning and design, economics, sociology, environmental psychology, public health, and education.
