The European black poplar (Populus nigra L.) is a native European tree species, which
forms floodplain forests along riversides in riparian ecosystems. This pioneer species
plays a central role in the initial phase of the development of riparian forests contributing
to the natural control of flooding and water quality, and serving as a natural corridor
that facilitates gene flow for many riparian species. It sustains viability, stability and
specificity of ecosystems along river flow. Once widespread, and now considered
threatened, P. nigra deserves special attention in terms of conservation. Here we present
an introduction into the biology of European black poplar and its significance for science
and industry. Particular attention is dedicated to the conservation of this species along
the Danube River, included in the activities of the DANUBEPARKS Network.
