AB  - Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima /Mill./Swingle) is exotic, rapid-growing tree species
that intensively colonises stands of other tree species and urban areas in its surrounding due to its
high adaptability, early maturation and ability to produce large amounts of seed every year. Presence of A. altissima in the stand structure is an important factor of stand degradation and is related
to rapid growth of the species, and consequently dominant position in the structure of native tree
species stands. Today, A. altissima is one of the most invasive exotic tree species in Serbia.
The invasion of A. altissima calls for new silvicultural approaches that should not only stop
the invasion in the area, but also to reduce the presence of A. altissima in the stand structure to a
more sustainable, non-invasive silvicultural system in the transitional period. In this respect, the
knowledge about the elements of ecological adaptability of A. altissima to different habitats is important.
Some elements of ecological adaptability of A. altissima were analyzed on a habitat of Turkey oak and Oak of Virgil (Quercetum cerridis-virgilianae B. Jovanović & Vukićević, 1977.) on loess
and marl bedrock in the lower hills of Fruška Gora mountain (Serbia) where A. altissima colonized
young stands. The research was conducted in a stand 17 years old on two permanent sample plots
on eastern aspect and slope of 15° that are located on different landforms — the first plot was on
a foothill (130 m a.s.l.) that is on the border with pedunculate oak and European hornbeam forest
(Ass. Carpino betuli-Quercetum roboris (Anić 59) Rauš 1971) and the second plot in the shoulder close
to the summit (170 m a.s.l.) that is a typical habitat of Turkey oak and Oak of Virgil.
The mean and dominant heights and diameters of A. altissima differ between the plots in
the foothill and the shoulder of the hillslope. This indicates to different ecological adaptability of A.
altissima to this habitat.
