This thesis investigates black locust in short rotation systems in Germany and focuses on biomass production, growth partitioning, flower and reproduction analysis. The results include biomass equations and show the competition. Phosphorus is the most important nutrient and, together with water, the main driver of growth partitioning among R. pseudoacacia trees. Furthermore, one bee hive could survive for one year of the flowers detected on one hectare black locust plantation. Moreover, invasiveness is increasing with increasing light availability.
