  Robinia pseudoacacia is a widely distributed tree species with strong adaptability to diverse ecological conditions. This review synthesizes recent research on its ecophysiological responses to key ecological stressors, including changes in water availability, nitrogen deposition, and atmospheric dust pollution. Seedlings show greater sensitivity to rainfall frequency than to rainfall intensity; reduced precipitation frequency significantly impairs photosynthetic traits, biomass accumulation, and growth. The interactive effects of precipitation patterns and nitrogen deposition are complex: High precipitation frequency promotes biomass, while nitrogen addition can stimulate growth but may inhibit nitrogen fixation under water stress. Under moderate dust deposition, R. pseudoacacia displays remarkable physiological plasticity: Dust particles act as a protective shield agai.. Read More»
