  • Appendix 2, Ranges for Optimal and Suboptimal Growth for Site, Climate, and Soil Variables
    APPENDIX 2 Ranges for Optimal and Suboptimal Growth for Site, Climate, and Soil Variables Climate and soil data in these figures were provided by the Landscape Change Research Group (U.S. Forest Service, n.d.). Current climate parameter data are from Hayhoe et al. (2007) and are based on United States Historical Climatology network data from 1961- 1990. Soil and topographic parameter data are from STATSGO data (Soil Conservation Service 1991). For further information, see the Climate Change Atlas website: https:// www.fs.fed.us/nrs/atlas/. Optimal elevation ranges were derived from information in “Silvics of North America” (Burns and Honkala 1990), Leak and Graber (1974), Beckage et al. (2008), and other sources. Depth to bedrock (minimum rooting depth) values come from the PLANTS database (NRCS 2014). Because optimal and suboptimal ranges are not known for minimum rooting depth, arrows indicate the beginning of the range. 143 Elevation (m): range for optimal growth 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 Quercus alba Fraxinus pennsylvanica Quercus prinus Pinus strobus Castanea dentata Ulmus americana Acer rubrum Fraxinus americana Juglans cinerea Pinus rigida Quercus rubra Tsuga canadensis Fagus grandifolia Acer saccharum Populus tremuloides Thuja occidentalis Populus grandidentata Picea mariana Pinus resinosa Betula alleghaniensis Picea rubens Betula payrifera Abies balsamea Slope gradient (%): ranges for optimal and suboptimal growth 0 5 10 15 20 25 Picea mariana Thuja occidentalis Populus tremuloides Pinus resinosa Fraxinus pennsylvanica

  • Recommended Trees to Plant
    Recommended Trees to Plant Large Sized Trees (Mature height of more than 45') (* indicates tree form only) Trees in this category require a curb/tree lawn width that measures at least a minimum of 8 feet (area between the stree edge/curb and the sidewalk). Trees should be spaced a minimum of 40 feet apart within the curb/tree lawn. Trees in this category are not compatible with power lines and thus not recommended for planting directly below or near power lines.

  • Boron in Wood Preservation: Problems, Challenges and Proposed Solutions
    BORON IN WOOD PRESERVATION: PROBLEMS, CHALLENGES AND PROPOSED SOLUTIONS. AN OVERVIEW ON RECENT RESEARCH Fernando Caldeira Jorge - Fernando Pessoa University, Faculty of Science and Technology Centre for Modelling and Analysis of Environmental Systems (CEMAS) Associate Professor | E-mail: [email protected] Lina Nunes - National Laboratory for Civil Engineering Timber Structures Division (LNEC) Researcher | E-mail: [email protected] Cidália Botelho - Faculty of Engineering of the Oporto University, Department of Chemical Engineering Laboratory of Separation and Reaction Engineering (LSRE) Assistant Professor | E-mail: [email protected] ABSTR A CT 3 A short review is presented on boron as a wood preservative. Sessions include the kind of chemicals applied and the level of efficiency obtained against several kind of fungi and termites, the influence of wood species, the traditional problem of boron leachability if timber is simply impregnated with aqueous solutions of acid boric or borate, but that at the same time enables impregnation of less permeable wood species by slow diffusion of unseasoned timber, the application of boron in conjunction with polymer or proteins, claimed as increasing significantly the resistance to leaching, and, finally, a summary is made on the boron chemistry that can be explored for boron-in-wood fixation studies, an approach that has been already started to be followed by the authors.

  • Low-Temperature Exotherms and Cold Hardiness in Three Taxa of Deciduous Trees
    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 120(5):830-834. 1995. Low-temperature Exotherms and Cold Hardiness in Three Taxa of Deciduous Trees Orville M. Lindstrom1, Tomasz Anisko2, and Michael A. Dirr3 Department of Horticulture, University of Georgia, Georgia Experiment Station, Griffin, GA 30223 Additional index words. Acer rubrum, differential thermal analysis, DTA, Fraxinus americana, Japanese zelkova, lowest survival temperature, LST, LTE, red maple, white ash, Zelkova serrata Abstract. Although differential thermal analysis has been routinely used to evaluate cold hardiness, the relationship of deep supercooling ability and plant survival are not well understood. In this study, we compared the seasonal profiles of changes in low-temperature exotherm (LTE) occurrence with visually determined cold hardiness of Acer rubrum L. ‘Armstrong’, Fraxinus americana L. ‘Autumn Purple’ and Zelkova serrata (Thunh.) Mak. ‘Village Green’ growing in three locations representing plant cold hardiness zones 8b, 7b, and 5a. Between December and February, LTEs in Acer rubrum ‘Armstrong’ and Fraxinus americana ‘Autumn Purple’ occurred at temperatures around 10 to 25C lower than the lowest survival temperatures. The mean difference between LTEs and lowest survival temperature was not significant for Zelkova serrata ‘Village Green’ from January to April and for Acer rubrum ‘Armstrong’ and Fraxinus americana ‘Autumn Purple’ in March. Data indicated that LTEs could be used as an estimate of lowest survival temperature in Zelkova serrata ‘Green Village’ but not in Acer rubrum ‘Armstrong’ and Fraxinus americana ‘Autumn Purple’. This study demonstrated that LTEs may not reliably estimate cold hardiness in all species that deep supercool. Factors other than freeze avoidance ability of xylem may limit stem survival at temperatures above the LTE.

  • Comparative Studies of the Leaf Morphology and Structure of White Ash Fraxinus Americana L
    2004, vol. 52, 3–8 Snejana B. Dineva Comparative studies of the leaf morphology and structure of white ash Fraxinus americana L. and London plane tree Platanus acerifolia Willd growing in polluted area Received: 30 April 2004, Accepted: 9 August 2004 Abstract: The leaf blades of white ash Fraxinus americana L. and London plane tree Platanus acerifolia Willd. growing in heavy polluted industrial areas were studied for morphological and anatomical changes developed under the influence of industrial contamination. The aim of the investigation was to determine and compare the influences of air polluted with SO2,NxOx, Pb, As, Zn, Cu etc. on the morphology and the structure of the leaves of these deciduous trees. Both species are tolerant to environmental changes but with different envi- ronmental characteristics and tolerances and they are widely used for planting. Under polluted conditions, the trees strengthened the anatomic xeromorphic characteristics of their leaf structures, which gave them the opportunity to mitigate the stressful conditions of the environment. The observed responses are regarded as adaptive and compensative to the adverse effects of air pollution.

If no protected trees are present, a letter to that effect, signed by a surveyor, engineer, architect or landscape architect must be submitted to the City. 2. Protected trees to be removed must be replaced. Replacement trees must be chosen from the Approved Plant List, and be of a certain minimum size. Where 12 or more are to be replaced, no more than 34% of the replacement trees may be of the same kind.

  • Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
    Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.
