Common Alder is an adaptive and fast-growing broad-leaved tree that can be found across most of Europe. 
It prefers a moderate to cold climate and grows best in deep soils, with a high water level, such as along river banks and in marshes. In these locations, it also contributes to flood control and the stabilization of riverbanks.
Due to its capability to fix nitrogen, the Common Alder is a valuable pioneer species with the ability to improve soil conditions for other plants and thereby minimize the need for nitrogen fertilizers. The tree is quick to establish with rapid early growth in the right conditions. It is light-demanding and eventually unable to withstand competition from shade bearing neighbouring trees.

Due to its multiple uses in silviculture and in the wood industry, the tree is considered to be an important forest species throughout Europe. The wood of Common Alder is rather soft, but durable when kept under water, hence its use for underwater constructions and for smaller boats.

​Ecologically, the tree provides a valuable source of food for wildlife throughout the winter.
