Alnus glutinosa, also known as Black alder, is the largest and most widespread of the thirty existing species. This type of plant grows particularly along river banks, along with Poplars, Willows, Ashes, and Maples. Black alder is indifferent to the composition of soil, and to compensate for food shortage, its roots fix atmospheric nitrogen with the help of actinomycetes, a specific group of bacteria.[1]
