За літературними джерелами досліджено філогенетичні зв'язки роду Ulmus L. Встановлено за даними бази GRIN, що у світі всього нараховується понад 30 видів роду Ulmus, поширених переважно в помірній зоні північної півкулі. З них 10 трапляються на території України, в помірній зоні європейської частини, на Північному Кавказі, в Забайкаллі та на Дале- кому Сході в широколистяних і хвойно-широколистяних лісах. По берегах річок на півночі зони зростання вклинюються у європейську темнохвойну тайгу, а на півдні – у Степову та Лісостепову зони. Як типові супутні породи мішаних лісів Євро- пи найпоширеніші такі представники роду Ulmus: U. laevis Pall., U. glabra HuDs., U. suberosa moench, U. elliptica K. Koch; в Азії – U. propinqua, U. laciniata (Trautv.) mayr та U. pumila L; у Північній Америці – U. americana L. На території України поширені сім аборигенних видів U. androssowii Litv., U. minor mill., U. glabra HuDs., U. laciniata (Trautv.) mayr, U. laevis Pall., U. macrocarpa Hance, U. pumila L. та три інтродукованих види: U. japonica (RehD.) Sarg., U. americana L. та U. densa Litw. З'ясовано, що номенклатура видів роду Ulmus складна і заплутана. Складність полягає не тільки в народних, але й у латинських назвах. Так, у літературних джерелах виявлено безліч синонімів латинських назв. Причиною, яка ускладнює таксономію в'язів, є поширення процесів природної гібридизації в межах роду Ulmus.

  • Plants Used in Basketry by the California Indians
    PLANTS USED IN BASKETRY BY THE CALIFORNIA INDIANS BY RUTH EARL MERRILL PLANTS USED IN BASKETRY BY THE CALIFORNIA INDIANS RUTH EARL MERRILL INTRODUCTION In undertaking, as a study in economic botany, a tabulation of all the plants used by the California Indians, I found it advisable to limit myself, for the time being, to a particular form of use of plants. Basketry was chosen on account of the availability of material in the University's Anthropological Museum. Appreciation is due the mem- bers of the departments of Botany and Anthropology for criticism and suggestions, especially to Drs. H. M. Hall and A. L. Kroeber, under whose direction the study was carried out; to Miss Harriet A. Walker of the University Herbarium, and Mr. E. W. Gifford, Asso- ciate Curator of the Museum of Anthropology, without whose interest and cooperation the identification of baskets and basketry materials would have been impossible; and to Dr. H. I. Priestley, of the Ban- croft Library, whose translation of Pedro Fages' Voyages greatly facilitated literary research. Purpose of the sttudy.-There is perhaps no phase of American Indian culture which is better known, at least outside strictly anthro- pological circles, than basketry. Indian baskets are not only concrete, durable, and easily handled, but also beautiful, and may serve a variety of purposes beyond mere ornament in the civilized household. Hence they are to be found in. our homes as well as our museums, and much has been written about the art from both the scientific and the popular standpoints. To these statements, California, where American basketry.

    Idaho's Registry of Champion Big Trees 06.13.2019 Yvonne Barkley, Director Idaho Big Tree Program TEL: (208) 885-7718; Email: [email protected] The Idaho Big Tree Program is part of a national program to locate, measure, and recognize the largest individual tree of each species in Idaho. The nominator(s) and owner(s) are recognized with a certificate, and the owners are encouraged to help protect the tree. Most states, including Idaho, keep records of state champion trees and forward contenders to the national program. To search the National Registry of Champion Big Trees, go to http://www.americanforests.org/bigtrees/bigtrees- search/ The National Big Tree program defines trees as woody plants that have one erect perennial stem or trunk at least 9½ inches in circumference at DBH, with a definitively formed crown of foliage and at least 13 feet in height. There are more than 870 species and varieties eligible for the National Register of Big Trees. Hybrids, minor varieties, and cultivars are excluded from the National listing but all but cultivars are accepted for the Idaho listing. The currently accepted scientific and common names are from the USDA Plants Database (PLANTS) http://plants.usda.gov/java/ and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) http://www.itis.gov/ Champion trees status is awarded using a point system. To calculate a tree’s total point value, American Forests uses the following equation: Trunk circumference (inches) + height (feet) + ¼ average crown spread (feet) = total points. The registered champion tree is the one in the nation with the most points.

D., Thesis Advisor ______________________________________________ Tamara Valentine, Ph. D., Director, Honors Program May 2017 i Abstract Climate change affects forest structure and composition through increasing temperatures and altered precipitation regimes. Arid and semi-arid ecosystems have shown signs of susceptibility towards regional warming. Climate warming may negatively affect tree reproduction, which is an important factor in tree population dynamics. The relationship between climate change and tree reproduction is not fully understood, particularly in mast seeding tree species. This project aims to determine how climate affects seed production across an elevational gradient in singleleaf pinyon pine (Pinus monophylla), a dominant, widespread mast seeding conifer of the Great Basin. Historical cone production data were collected and reconstructed for the past 15 years at three sites that span an elevational gradient on Rawe Peak near Dayton, Nevada. The low elevation site had only one year of high seed cone production; therefore, seed production data were not sufficient enough to test any relationships between cone production and climate.

The Californian single-leaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla var. californiarum), a 19 subspecies of the single-leaf pinyon (the world's only 1-needled pine), inhabits semi-arid zones 20 of the Mojave Desert (southern Nevada and southeastern California, US) and also of northern 21 Baja California (Mexico). This tree is distributed as a relict subspecies, at elevations of between 22 1,010 and 1,631 m in the geographically isolated arid Sierra La Asamblea (Baja California, 23 Mexico), an area characterized by mean annual precipitation levels of between 184 and 288 mm.

  • Species Ratings for Landscape Tree Appraisal in Southern Nevada
    Species Ratings for Landscape Tree Appraisal in Southern Nevada This document establishes species ratings to be used by tree appraisal experts with the trunk formula method for appraising the monetary value of trees in Southern Nevada. From time to time, the dollar value of a landscape tree needs to be determined for insurance purposes, tree inventories etc.. The Trunk Formula Method is the most widely used way to determine those values for larger trees. Once the basic value is determined, it is adjusted based on the species, condition, and location of the tree. This document provides a rating for each tree “species” commonly grown in Southern Nevada. [The complete tree appraisal procedure is described in detail in the “Guide for Plant Appraisal” prepared by the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers and published by the International Society of Arboriculture (9th edition, available from ISA, P.O. Box 3129, Champaign, IL 61826. http://www.isa-arbor.com/home.aspx ] Listed below are the species ratings of trees, by botanical name, known to be grown in Southern Nevada. The ratings are expressed as percentages between 5% to 100% (100 being the highest). The ratings are based on a tree’s attributes such as growth characteristics, maintenance requirements, aesthetics, resistance to insect and/or disease infestations, drought tolerance and longevity. Each species is given a rating range of about 20 points within which most trees of that species will likely fall. Ratings should be adjusted within or even outside of the given range if local conditions require. Species ratings should be based only on overall species-related factors, without regard to condition or location factors that are tied to a specific tree and its site.

The present is the first of a series of Hand-lists of the collections of living plants cultivated in the Royal Gardens which it is intended to issue from time to time. It is hoped that they will he found useful in indi- cating to visitors interested in particular groups of plants, the species which Kew already possesses. In the hands of correspondents they will serve to show in what directions the collections may be added to. It is further hoped that they may be found of some value in esta- blishing an approxiihate standard of nomenclature, which is often much confused in gardens and too frequently erroneous. This is particularly the case with woody plants (shrubs and trees) grown in the open air. The preparation of the present list has accordingly been first taken in it the work of and has hand ; represents many years, only been accomplished with considerable labour. A rough census of the species and distinct varieties of plants cultivated at Kew gives the total number as, approximately, 20,U0(>. Of these ;),0(X> are hardy shrubs or trees. The first catalogue of the plants cultivated at Kew was that of Sir John Hill, published in 1768 (second edition 1769).
