Cover Story: Black locust is largely distributed throughout the world as planted and naturalized trees, thanks to its adaptability to different environmental conditions. Introduced in Italy in 1662, in the botanical garden of Padua, it is currently naturalized throughout the whole territory and plays a significant role in national honey production, with it being an excellent melliferous plant. The temperature-based model for the simulation of black locust phenology presented here relies on the phenological observations gathered by the Italian PHEnological Network (IPHEN) from 2010 to 2021. The satisfactory model performances will provide useful information for the management of nomadic beekeeping. This tool can also help to understand the impact of climate changes on different environments, thanks to the black locust’s ubiquitous distribution.
