Habitat
So where does Robinia pseudoacacia grow?

I think a better question is where doesn’t it?
Wherever there is ample amounts of sunlight, Robinia
pseudoacacia can thrive because it loves the sun. It is found in temperate climate regions, and
occupies several areas throughout the world. It originated
right here in North America, and has since been introduced to
other many other places including Britain, parts of Western Europe, the
Netherlands, southern Canada and Asia. It has even been
considered invasive in some countries, but I’ll talk about that
more on my Fun Facts page!
In the forest ecosystem, the black locust serves as a primary
producer. This means that it functions as an autotroph, so
it makes its own food instead of feeding on other organisms to get
energy. How does it do this? Find out on my
Nutrition page! All kinds of organisms live in the same habitat as Robinia
pseudoacacia ranging from animals, to bacteria to fungi, and to
other plant species as well.
