  • What Is a Tree in the Mediterranean Basin Hotspot? a Critical Analysis
    Médail et al. Forest Ecosystems (2019) 6:17 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40663-019-0170-6 RESEARCH Open Access What is a tree in the Mediterranean Basin hotspot? A critical analysis Frédéric Médail1* , Anne-Christine Monnet1, Daniel Pavon1, Toni Nikolic2, Panayotis Dimopoulos3, Gianluigi Bacchetta4, Juan Arroyo5, Zoltán Barina6, Marwan Cheikh Albassatneh7, Gianniantonio Domina8, Bruno Fady9, Vlado Matevski10, Stephen Mifsud11 and Agathe Leriche1 Abstract Background: Tree species represent 20% of the vascular plant species worldwide and they play a crucial role in the global functioning of the biosphere. The Mediterranean Basin is one of the 36 world biodiversity hotspots, and it is estimated that forests covered 82% of the landscape before the first human impacts, thousands of years ago. However, the spatial distribution of the Mediterranean biodiversity is still imperfectly known, and a focus on tree species constitutes a key issue for understanding forest functioning and develop conservation strategies. Methods: We provide the first comprehensive checklist of all native tree taxa (species and subspecies) present in the Mediterranean-European region (from Portugal to Cyprus). We identified some cases of woody species difficult to categorize as trees that we further called “cryptic trees”. We collected the occurrences of tree taxa by “administrative regions”, i.e. country or large island, and by biogeographical provinces. We studied the species-area relationship, and evaluated the conservation issues for threatened taxa following IUCN criteria. Results: We identified 245 tree taxa that included 210 species and 35 subspecies, belonging to 33 families and 64 genera. It included 46 endemic tree taxa (30 species and 16 subspecies), mainly distributed within a single biogeographical unit.

Department of Horticulture Corvallis, OR 97331-7304 Oregon State University Voice: 541-737-5462 [email protected] Background: Prunus laurocerasus (common cherrylaurel) and P. lusitanica (portugese cherrylaurel), collectively referred to as cherrylaurels, are closely related species that are widely grown in the nursery industry and commonly planted in landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and other regions across the U.S. Using the Oregon Association of Nurseries Directory and Buyers' Guide (OAN-DBG) combined with the Nursery Appraisal Software for the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation for 2011 (http://www.rma.usda.gov/tools/eplpps/) we estimated a range for the number and value of cherrylaurels being grown in Oregon. Cumulatively, the estimated value of cherrylaurels for 2011 in Oregon alone is between $17.1 and $36.4 million. Common cherrylaurel is a handsome evergreen hedge plant native to Southeastern Europe and Asia Minor that is pH adaptable, does well in full sun or deep shade, is salt spray tolerant, and withstands heavy pruning. There are more than 45 cultivars in the trade including the popular 'Otto Luyken'.

  • Molecular Phylogenetic Analyses Reveal a Close Evolutionary Relationship Between Podosphaera (Erysiphales: Erysiphaceae) and Its Rosaceous Hosts
    Persoonia 24, 2010: 38–48 www.persoonia.org RESEARCH ARTICLE doi:10.3767/003158510X494596 Molecular phylogenetic analyses reveal a close evolutionary relationship between Podosphaera (Erysiphales: Erysiphaceae) and its rosaceous hosts S. Takamatsu1, S. Niinomi1, M. Harada1, M. Havrylenko 2 Key words Abstract Podosphaera is a genus of the powdery mildew fungi belonging to the tribe Cystotheceae of the Erysipha­ ceae. Among the host plants of Podosphaera, 86 % of hosts of the section Podosphaera and 57 % hosts of the 28S rDNA subsection Sphaerotheca belong to the Rosaceae. In order to reconstruct the phylogeny of Podosphaera and to evolution determine evolutionary relationships between Podosphaera and its host plants, we used 152 ITS sequences and ITS 69 28S rDNA sequences of Podosphaera for phylogenetic analyses. As a result, Podosphaera was divided into two molecular clock large clades: clade 1, consisting of the section Podosphaera on Prunus (P. tridactyla s.l.) and subsection Magnicel­ phylogeny lulatae; and clade 2, composed of the remaining member of section Podosphaera and subsection Sphaerotheca. powdery mildew fungi Because section Podosphaera takes a basal position in both clades, section Podosphaera may be ancestral in Rosaceae the genus Podosphaera, and the subsections Sphaerotheca and Magnicellulatae may have evolved from section Podosphaera independently. Podosphaera isolates from the respective subfamilies of Rosaceae each formed different groups in the trees, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship between Podosphaera spp. and their rosaceous hosts. However, tree topology comparison and molecular clock calibration did not support the possibility of co-speciation between Podosphaera and Rosaceae. Molecular phylogeny did not support species delimitation of P. aphanis, P.

  • Native Plant Alternatives for Landscaping
    The Hendricks Park Forest Management Plan ...the forest... ...and the trees... Native Plant Alternatives for Landscaping tewardship of the forested park area for present and future generations is a key piece of Sthe Hendricks Park Forest Management Plan. Conservation of this valuable resource is accomplished by protecting the native forest ecosystem where it is intact, and restoring it where it has suffered from degradation. The park’s native ecosystem is most susceptible to damage from non-native, invasive plants. What are non-native, invasive plants and why are they a problem? Non-native, invasive plants are exotic species that have been introduced to the area either intentionally or accidentally and have begun to spread in an uncontrolled way. Outside of their native habitat and without any natural control mechanisms, these plants can cause serious damage to our own native forests. Invasive plants crowd out native species, prevent- ing regeneration. Left unchecked, they reduce the biodiversity in the native forest and interfere with natural processes as exotic weeds begin to dominate. What’s more, the balance of native plants and animals is also affected. Invasive plants limit bird, mammal and amphibian populations by reducing the availability of suitable living and hiding space (cover) and food sources. In other words, as exotic plants take over forested areas, they reduce the habitat that native animals depend on, thereby reducing the popula- tion of those animals. More than 20 invasive plants have been documented in Hendricks Park,

  • Wildland Urban Interface Approved Plant List
    WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE APPROVED PLANT LIST This approved plant list has been developed to serve as a tool to determine the placement of vegetation within the Wildland Urban Interface areas. The approved plant list has been compiled from several similar lists which pertain to the San Francisco Bay Area and to the State of California. This approved plant list is not intended to be used outside of the San Mateo County area. The “required distance” for each plant is how far the given plant is required to be from a structure. If a plant within the approved plant list is not provided with a “required distance”, the plant has been designated as a fire-resistant plant and may be placed anywhere within the defensible space area. The designation as a fire-resistant plant does not exempt the plant from other Municipal Codes. For example, as per Hillsborough Municipal Code, all trees crowns, including those that have been designated as fire resistant, are required to be 10 feet in distance from any structure. Fire resistant plants have specific qualities that help slow down the spread of fire, they include but are not limited to: • Leaves tend to be supple, moist and easily crushed • Trees tend to be clean, not bushy, and have little deadwood • Shrubs are low-growing (2’) with minimal dead material • Taller shrubs are clean, not bushy or twiggy • Sap is water-like and typically does not have a strong odor • Most fire-resistant trees are broad leafed deciduous (lose their leaves), but some thick-leaf evergreens are also fire resistant.
