Pinus Brutia Priorities on the Utilization of the Results of Ankara-İlyakut Turkish Red Pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) Provenance Trial in Related Semi-Arid Conditions of Central Anatolia a) 26 Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) provenance trials were established in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 1988 and 1989 throughout the country. • Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) provenance trials are of international based. One sample plot established in Northern Cyprus. a) In İlyakut sample plot 40 km away from Ankara, 36 provenances of Pinus brutia Ten. included in the trial in 1989. c) Periodical observations done each year and collected data analyzed in 1993 (5th year), 1998 (10th year), and 2001 (14th year). d) Growth and survival rates were analyzed. e) New observations made last month. Turning Statistics into Knowledge -I a)It has been shown that; 14-year old experiment has essential clues for reaching conclusions. b)Response to environmental changes are clear among provenances. • All provenances from Cyprus are of non-resistant to frost from the beginning. c) There are cold resistant provenances from different altitudes, latitudes, and longitudes. Turning Statistics into Knowledge -II d) For Pinus brutia the main important variations to be searched for frost resistance, survival, and growth rate respectively. e) There were significant differences among provenances for growth rate, survival, and tolerance… f) All provenances are very tolerant to drought comparing to the Taurus Cedar and Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold subsp. nigra var. caramanica planted in the same locality.g) Turning Statistics into Knowledge -III a) the most adaptable fastest growing, pest and frost resistant provenances are: • 3 (Anamur-Gökçesu-600 m), 5 (Gülnar-Pembecik- 650 m), • 7 (Silifke-Kızlardağı-125 m), 29 (Antakya-Uluçınar-385 m), • 23 (Sındırgı-Bigadiç-350 m), 35 (Siirt-Fındık-700 m), • 4 (Anamur-Yivil-650 m), 27 (Sütçüler-Karadağ-650 m), • 10 (Bucak-Merkez-800 m), 33 (Dursunbey-Delikdere-600 m), • 6 (Tarsus-Karakoyak- 800 m), 24 (M. Kemalpaşa-Çamkonağı450 m) Turkish red pine provenance trial 40 km away from Ankara. A view from a susceptible provenances to frost at the beginning of growing season (25 March 2004). Knowledge into POLICY 1) Prediction of consequences of environmental change is possible by observations carried out especially on Pinus brutia provenance trials. 2) The most important fast growing native tree species in Turkiye both in Mediterranean climatic regions and semi-arid ones including in and around Ankara. Knowledge into POLICY-II 3) Frost resistant selected provenances of Turkish pine should be used as seed sources in afforestation activities carried out in Central Anatolia up to 1200 m altitude . 4) Growing rate of Pinus brutia is much higher than Pinus nigra and Cedrus libani in semi-arid conditions everywhere. 5) For the risk of climate change foreseen dramatically in Med. Basin Turkish red pine is the main afforestation element taking into consideration. Knowledge into POLICY-II 459.

Research Highlights: Dendrochronological research of the East Aegean region is of paramount importance since dendrochronological data from the region, and especially the islands, are still limited. Background and Objectives: The main aim of the study is to explore the dendrochronological potential of the island, focusing on the dating of historical wood and buildings as well as dendroprovenancing. Materials and Methods: A total of 57 wood samples were collected from historical timber from windmills and architectural elements, including doors and warehouse planks, while 68 cores were collected from the three dominant tree species of the island—Cupressus sempervirens, Pinus brutia, and Quercus ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis—in an attempt to develop local reference chronologies that could be useful in dating historical timber Results: Of the historical timber, at least nine different species have been detected, with conifers representing the majority of the collected material. In total, 56% of the dendroarchaeological samples, belonging to four different species, were dated absolutely.

  • PROVENANCE TRĐALS in TURKEY Forest Area of Turkey Is 21.18
    PROVENANCE TR ĐALS IN TURKEY Forest area of Turkey is 21.18 million hectare, which consists of 26 % of total size of the country. The 44 %, 8.9 million hectare is productive forest and the rest, 56% 11.3 million hectare is unproductive. Unproductive forest area needs to be forested in order to turn into productive forest. However, certain provenances should be used in forestation works. Therefore, which provenance may be used in regional afforestation should be determined, particularly in Turkey, which climatic and soil conditions show great changes from one to another (Simsek et al., 1995). The selection of seed resources is the main factor influencing the productivity of forestation (Urgenc, S., 1982). One of the major objectives of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and its affiliates is to conserve forest tree species and genetic biodiversity. Provenance trials are important particularly at the initial stage of a tree improvement of program. They provide information about the genetic architecture of the species that is utilized for gene conservation programs, and for maximizing gain for a given area (Isık et al., 2002) There are lots of provenance trail in Turkey. The Turkish Forest Research Institutes are carrying out 6 provenances trials. The main aim of these studies is to determine the best performing provenances for forestations, each geographic zone in Turkey. 1-Turkish Red Pine ( Pinus brutia Ten.) Provenance Trial The Turkish Forest Research Institute established it in 1988 on 26 test sites (one of the test side was established in Cyprus). 50 provenances were tested (47 provenances originating from Turkey, 3 provenances from northern Cyprus) below Table 1 .

  • Native Plants of Deer Canyon Preserve One-Seed Juniper: February
    Native Plants of Deer Canyon Preserve One-seed Juniper: February, 2009 Late winter is a time when many are reminded of one-seed juniper (Juniperus monosperma), not just because it is easily the most abundant tree on the Preserve, but also because the air fills with juniper pollen for a couple weeks sometime between late February and late March. Juniperus is an old Latin word for this type of tree and monosperma means one seed, so the scientific name of this plant is the same as its common name. This species is sometimes also called cherrystone juniper, New Mexico cedar, or Sabina (a Spanish word for juniper). It thrives in dry, rocky soil up to an elevation of about 7,000 feet. One-seed juniper is a slow growing, long-lived tree that usually reaches a height of 10–20 feet. The largest one on record is found in New Mexico, in the Jicarilla Mountains northeast of Alamagordo, and is 29 feet tall with a trunk circumference of 168 inches and a crown spread of 28 feet. Juniper trunks are frequently branched near the base and have gray-brown bark that detaches in long thin strips revealing a cinnamon color under the bark. The root systems of junipers often grow deep taproots giving the trees access to water that is not available to neighboring plants. Unlike many conifers, juniper leaves are scalelike, rather than needlelike. In fact, junipers are characterized by having two types of leaves. Most of the leaves are small and flattened with tiny glands that produce a white exudate.

  • The Citrus Route Revealed: from Southeast Asia Into The
    HORTSCIENCE 52(6):814–822. 2017. doi: 10.21273/HORTSCI11023-16 The Citrus Route Revealed: From Southeast Asia into the Mediterranean Dafna Langgut1 The Laboratory of Archaeobotany and Ancient Environments, The Sonia and Marco Nadler Institute of Archaeology, Tel Aviv University, Israel Additional index words. citrus, Citrus medica, citron, lemon, botanical remains, elite products Abstract. Today, citrus orchards are a major component of the Mediterranean landscape and one of the most important cultivated fruits in the region; however, citrus is not native to the Mediterranean Basin, but originated in Southeast Asia. Here, the route of the spread and diversification of citrus is traced through the use of reliable historical information (ancient texts, art, and artifacts such as wall paintings and coins) and archaeobotanical remains such as fossil pollen grains, charcoals, seeds, and other fruit remains. These botanical remains are evaluated for their reliability (in terms of identification, archaeological context, and dating) and possible interpretations. Citrus medica (citron) was the first citrus to spread west, apparently through Persia and the Southern Levant (remains were found in a Persian royal garden near Jerusalem dated to the fifth and fourth centuries BC) and then to the western Mediterranean (early Roman period, ’third and second centuries BC). In the latter region, seeds and pollen remains of citron were found in gardens owned by the affluent in the Vesuvius area and Rome. The earliest lemon (C. limon) botanical remains were found in the Forum Romanum (Rome) and are dated to the late first century BC/early first century AD. It seems, therefore, that lemon was the second citrus species introduced to the Mediterranean.

  • Cedrus Libani A
    Güney et al. Botanical Studies (2015) 56:20 DOI 10.1186/s40529-015-0100-z RESEARCH Open Access Cambial activity and xylogenesis in stems of Cedrus libani A. Rich at different altitudes Aylin Güney*, Danielle Kerr, Ayça Sökücü, Reiner Zimmermann and Manfred Küppers Abstract Background: The dynamics of cambial activity and xylogenesis provide information on how and to what extent wood formation respond to climatic variability. The Lebanon Cedar (Cedrus libani A.Rich) is a montane tree species which is distributed along a wide altitudinal range in the northeastern Mediterranean region, currently considered as a potential forest species for Central Europe with respect to climate change. This study provides first data on intra-annual growth dynamics at cellular level using the microcore technique for a montane Mediterranean tree species at different altitudes within and outside its natural range. Results: Microcores were collected fortnightly in the growing season of 2013 in order to study temporal dynamics of cambial activity and xylogenesis in stems of C. libani at different altitudes in the Taurus Mountains (1000 – 2000 m a.s.l.) and at a plantation at Bayreuth (330 m a.s.l.; Germany). The dormant cambium consisted of about 5 cells at the Turkish sites and 7 cells at Bayreuth. Cambial activity set in, when daily minimum temperatures exceeded 0 °C and daily means of air and stem temperature exceeded 5 °C. Xylogenesis started between April and May, ended approximately the end of September to the beginning of October and lasted 134 (at tree line) to 174 days (at the lowest Turkish site).

  • Cedrus Libani Cedar-Of-Lebanon1 Edward F
    Fact Sheet ST-136 November 1993 Cedrus libani Cedar-of-Lebanon1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION This is a large stately evergreen, with a massive trunk when mature, and wide-sweeping, sometimes upright branches (more often horizontal) which originate on the lower trunk (Fig. 1). Allow plenty of space for proper development. Dark green needles and cones, which are held upright above the foliage, add to the impressive appearance. Young specimens retain a pyramidal shape but the tree takes on a more open form with age. Like most true cedars, it does not like to be transplanted, and prefers a pollution-free, sunny environment.
