Soil conditions
on perculating fresh, ocassionally inundated, alkaline, mainly calcareous, loose, more or less humus-rich, stony, sandy or pure clay soils

semi-shade, sunny
Root type
taproot
Succession type
pioneer species
Natural occurrence (habitat)
bottomland riparian forests, noble hardwood forests, banks of streams and rivers, sunny slope forests, urban-near neglected hillsides, quarries, field scrubs
Vegetation typ and synecology (plant community)
temperate, mixed mesophytic broad-leaved deciduous forests; characteristic species of the Querco-Ulmetum (association Alno-Ulmion), also in Carpinion or Quercetalia pubesc. as well as in Berberidion communities
Constraints according soil conditions
tolerant of waterlogging, saline soils and winds, drought and pollution
Usage
timber is of high quality and can be used for furniture, flooring and firewood; wood is very resistant to decay from water and is therefore suitable for underwater applications and for building ships; this species was traditionally (in Italy) used as a living support for grapevines
Phytopathogenic organisms
severely endangered by Dutch elm disease caused by the ascomycete fungus Ceratocystis ulmi
