Non-native woody plant species in urban forests of Frankfurt/Main (Germany)
- In 23 survey areas with woodland vegetation or woodland succession in Frankfurt/Main with a total size of 134 hectares, woody species were surveyed (excluding species only occurring as planted individuals). We found 149 woody taxa; 42% of them indigenous, and 58% non-native. Out of the 86 non-native taxa, 49 were naturalized in Frankfurt while 37 were considered as casual. Among non-native taxa, East Asian taxa formed the largest phytogeographic group. We found taxa originating from horticulture (cultigens) to be an important part of the woody flora of Frankfurt/Main. The most common taxa were Acer pseudoplatanus, A. platanoides, Betula pendula, and Sambucus nigra; the two Acer species were regarded as naturalized. Non-native woody species were generally common (with percentages ranging from 24% to 79% in individual areas).
