Non-native tree species are an important component of many forests around the world. These species were introduced for various reasons: the provision of wood and non-timber forest products, soil protection or rehabilitation, ornamental purposes, etc. In fact, they are important for sectoral economies, especially locally and in rural landscapes. However, there are multiple contexts in which some of these trees may have undesired negative effects, such as declines of biodiversity, increases of disturbance frequency, or disruptions of ecological balance of the native forests, greatly affecting the provision of ecosystem services. This Research Topic includes articles focusing on different aspects of relevance in the management of non-native tree species, ranging from identifying knowledge gaps and future implications, investigating the future use of non-native trees, providing governance approaches, assessment of impacts, and applying novel monitoring approaches.

Abstract

Non-native tree species are an important component of many forests around the world. These species were introduced for various reasons: the provision of wood and non-timber forest products, soil protection or rehabilitation, ornamental purposes, etc. In fact, they are important for sectoral economies, especially locally and in rural landscapes. However, there are multiple contexts in which some of these trees may have undesired negative effects, such as declines of biodiversity, increases of disturbance frequency, or disruptions of ecological balance of the native forests, greatly affecting the provision of ecosystem services. This Research Topic includes articles focusing on different aspects of relevance in the management of non-native tree species, ranging from identifying knowledge gaps and future implications, investigating the future use of non-native trees, providing governance approaches, assessment of impacts, and applying novel monitoring approaches.
