The mpI ortance of Geographic and Biological Variables in Predicting the Naturalization of Non-Native Woody Plants in the Upper Midwest Abstract The es lection, introduction, and cultivation of non-native woody plants beyond their native ranges can have great benefits, but also unintended consequences. Among these consequences is the tendency for some species to naturalize and become invasive pests in new environments to which they were introduced. In lieu of lengthy and costly field trials, risk-assessment models can be used to predict the likelihood of naturalization.

INNS are increasingly abundant in Great Britain and in Europe generally and their impact is rising. Hence, INNS are the subject of considerable concern in Great Britain, prompting the development of a Non-Native Species Strategy and the formation of the GB Non-Native Species Programme Board and Secretariat.

Se muestra la distribución de las familias Agavaceae y Nolinaceae en América y México. Para México se determinó la presencia de 402 taxa, 342 de ellos pertenecen a los géneros Agave, Beschorneria, Furcraea, Hesperaloii, Manfreda, Polianthes, Prochnyanthes y Yucca de la familia Agavaceae, en tanto que 60 corresponden a los géneros Beaucarnea, Calibanus, Dasylirion y Nolina de la familia Nolinaceae. Se presenta también la lista actualizada de las especies de ambas familias, ordenadas alfabéticamente. Para cada taxon se señala su distribución por estado y por provincia florística. Los estados más ricos son: Oaxaca con 63 taxa, Durango con 52, Puebla con 50, San Luis Potosí y Sonora con 47 y Chihuahua con 45. En cuanto a las provincias florísticas con un número mayor de taxa están: las Serranías Meridionales, Sierra Madre Occidental y Altiplanicie. Para México, hasta el momento, se han realizado cinco floras regionales y cuatro listados florísticos, en los que se aborda el estudio de las Agavaceae y Nolinaceae a diferentes niveles. Los géneros Agave, Beaucarnea, Beschorneria, Ma11freda y Prochnyanthes han sido objeto de tratamientos taxonómicos; otros como Dasylirion, Furcraea y Polianthes se encuentran en diferentes etapas de desarrollo, en tanto que Calibanus, Hesperaloii, Nolina, Yucca y varios grupos de Agave, requieren una revisión actualizada.

  • Wholesale Pricelist 2019
    WHOLESALE PRICELIST 2019 PREMIER FAMILY NURSERY STOCK GROWER FOR OVER 90 YEARS Dear Friends, The number 94 isn’t really all that special as integers go. It does, however, have a few things going for it. It is the atomic number of Plutonium. In mathematics, it is the only number greater than one that equals the sum of the squares of the digits of their own square in base 11. If you call Sri Lanka on a regular basis, you are certainly aware that 94 is the code for international direct dial phone calls to that country. 94 feet just happens to be the official length of an NBA basketball court. Most importantly, it is the number of years that the Kankakee Nursery has been in operation. OK, I get it. 94 years is not as cool a milestone as say 95 or 100 years, but we’re pretty proud of the accomplishment nevertheless. In our 94th year, we have continued to progress in a number of ways. We have just completed three state-of-the-art greenhouses devoted exclusively to the production of tree liners. Thanks to our crack IT team, we have made many advances that touch all aspects of our operation. Advances have accelerated in inventory control, customer service, and quality control just to name a few. We continue our strong commitment to the future by significantly expanding the lining out of both our trees and evergreens. The impressive growth and development of our fourth generation is ongoing and a joy to watch as they take on more daily responsibility.
