... Throughout the last few decades, loess-palaeosol sequences (LPSs) have been frequently analysed to reconstruct palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental conditions of the terrestrial realms Marković et al., 2005;Kukla et al., 1988;Zech et al., 2013;Torre et al., 2020;Varga et al., 2011). Therefore, sequences are investigated, which are as complete and undisturbed as possible to allow interregional correlations (Marković et al., 2018;Lehmkuhl et al., 2016) or direct reconstructions of atmospheric conditions (Obreht et al., 2017;Rousseau and Hatté, 2021;Bokhorst et al., 2011). ...

... The black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) in Europe is an introduced species from North America [1]. It was initially used for ornament purpose in parklands or as melliferous [2,3]. Later the species has been grown for economic uses specially woods (venial wood, utility wood, mine wood, and firewood) [4][5][6][7][8] and environmental conservation (soil erosion control) [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. ...

... Resilient nations. Source: Eppler and Petersen (2007) Legend: [1] Rotation of 20 years, [2] Rotation of 14 years, [3] Rotation of 12 years, [4] the biggest part is located in the region of Lombardy (4000 ha), [5] Plantation was not established for energy purposes. Also in France where the plantation was used for pulp production, [6] it is grown in Portugal on about 500,000 ha for pulp production, and in France on about 500 ha, [7] in Estonia poplar hybrid plantations have been re-established intended for the pulp production, [8] from experimental fields, [9] from commercial plantations 10 With watering ...

... As with other short rotation woody crops (SRWCs), plantation type and silvicultural prescriptions such as spacing (i.e., plantation density), rotation length (i.e., harvest age), and establishment technologies (e.g., planting stock type, site preparation, etc.) are determined by the end use of poplar products . Besides traditional poplar culture (e.g., timber, fiber, and pulp production), recent trends emphasize increased use of short rotation biomass plantations as energy feedstocks that contribute to climate change mitigation and more efficient usage of renewable energy sources (Zalesny et al., 2019), thus avoiding additional emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ; Rončević et al., 2013). ...

... The lowest diversity was recorded in a Gleysol (S5) under a meadow, which can be explained by poor aeration and a poor water regime that negatively affected biodiversity despite a high organic matter content and CEC. Gleysol is characterized by the anaerobic decomposition of organic residues, and at the bottom of the solum, anaerobic conditions are permanently present, while aeration is occasionally present in the upper horizons in the zone (Pekeč et al., 2011). soils S1, S2, S3 and additionally S8 for Mucor sp. and Rhizopus sp., and S4 for Hyalodendron sp. (Fig. 2). ...

... The most common types of soil are chernozem, wetland and black soil (Benka and Salvai, 2005). The study area is also characterized by its high groundwater level (Nešić et al., 2010). ...

... This theoretically straightforward stratigraphy, of alternating loess and paleosol sets, is then taken as representative of whole glacial cycles and counted back to provide the number of glacial cycles recorded at a given site ( Fig. 9) (Shimek, 1916;Zeuner, 1956;Kukla, 1970Kukla, , 1977Ding et al., 1994;Markovi c et al., 2008). The constructed site's loess-paleosol stratigraphy, often supported by a magnetic record, can be correlated with marine isotope stages to determine the age of a unit (Kukla, 1977(Kukla, , 1978Kukla and An, 1989;Porter et al., 1992;Markovi c et al., 2005). Traditionally construction of local and regional stratigraphies (and nomenclatures) were guided by pedological changes (Kallenbach, 1966;Ives, 1973;Bronger and Heinkele, 1989;Pésci, 1990), and have been later supported by Fig. 8 Geochronological approaches used in Quaternary loess research and their dating range. ...

... Thirteen study plots, aged 24-42 years, with a total area of 331.05 ha (Table 1) were investigated. In order to confirm the initial hypothesis about the impact of rotation length, soil types and site characteristics on financial elements (cost, income and IRR) in the investigated plantations, data were collected from different types of soil belonging to the site classes I -V (Table 1) (Andrašev et al. 2009, Galić et al. 2009). ...

... "I-214" is the most widely grown and economically important poplar clone in the country. Intensively cultured plantations (even-aged, clonal stands) and monoclonality have already increased the vulnerability of this clone to various leaf and canker diseases [4,9]. Because the use of antibiotics for plant disease control in Serbia is prohibited [35], management options for bacterial disease problems in Serbian poplar plantations are limited. ...
