Woody-Plant Succession in the Urban Forest: Filling Cracks and Crevices    (View PDF)

Frank S. Santamour, Jr.

Abstract: The two most successful "pioneer" tree species in an abandoned urban brickyard were cottonwood (Populus deltoides) and ailanthus (Ailanthus altissima). Woody plants of 1 6 genera were found in the area 10 years after abandonment and the presence or absence of species is discussed in relation to current planting practices.
