This thesis deals with the detection of damage by game in forest stands of black locust growing on forest and non-forest land in the Danubian Hills. Black locust is an introduced species and has become an invasive tree species. However, black locust is able to grow in a wide range of soil and ecological conditions, and due to its ability to bind nitrogen in the soil, it can inhabit substrates that are very low on nutrients. Despite the fact that it is a non-native and invasive tree species, it does not mean that it is not damaged by cloven-hoofed game. The species is important from multiple perspectives, especially as an energy tree species (plantations), a tree species suitable for reclamation of damaged areas and stabilization of soil erosion, and also as a tree species that is a source of nectar.
