Abstract
In MU "Mužljanski rit" black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is the second most common tree species. Black locust in MU "Mužljanski rit" cover 218.83 ha and mostly appear on humogley - riparian black soil. Black locust stand volume on riparian black soil is low - on 40% of area are under 50 m3 ha-1. On meadow black soil we recorded average volume from 21.85 to 33.83 m3 ha-1. This data shows on the low productivity of black locust in MU "Mužljanski rit".
