Since individual black locust stands differ in their economic value and environmental benefit or risk, the site-specific management approach appears to be the best attitude that can be applied to most of introduced tree species. For many decades, this species has been a part of the European environment and the complete eradication is thus highly unlikely. In addition, in areas intensively managed for agriculture where the risk of further spread is rather low, black locust presence increases the diversity in the landscape matrix and provides shelter for many organisms.
