A rich macroflora has been collected from Karpatian (late early Miocene) layers of the Mecsek Mts during recent decades. The bulk of the fossil assemblage consists of leaves and also fruits of angiosperms. Among the more than a hundred taxa, several endemic species were described: Leguminocarpum mecsekense Andreánszky, Ailanthus mecsekensis Hably, Nyssa gyoergyi sp. nov., Nyssa gergoei sp. nov., Nyssa sp. 1, Clematis csabae sp. nov., Gordonia sp. and Carpolithes gergoei Hably et Erdei sp. nov. Many taxa were last recorded in the Carpathian Basin, e.g. Cedrelospermum, Ziziphus. Other taxa appeared in this flora, e.g. Quercus kubinyii, Podocarpium podocarpum, Liquidambar europaea and Populus populina, and later became dominant in the middle Miocene (Sarmatian) floras or even in the late Miocene (Pannonian) floras. Four main vegetation types were determined. The most significant types are subxerophytic vegetation showing high diversity, swamp veg- etation, riparian vegetation, and a vegetation type growing in habitats with higher rainfall. Thermophilous flora elements are dominant in the assemblage, although “arctotertiary” species also appear. The floristic character of the flora supports the results of an earlier quantitative climate analysis of the Magyaregregy flora, accord- ing to which mean annual temperature was 15.6–16.6°C and coldest-month and warmest-month temperatures were 5–6.2°C and 24.7–27.9°C, respectively. Generally the assemblage presented in this paper extends those climatological findings to the late early Miocene.

  • APPROVED PLANT LIST Midtown Alliance Tree Well Adoption Program
    APPROVED PLANT LIST Midtown Alliance Tree Well Adoption Program Midtown Alliance launched the Tree Well Adoption program with the primary goal of enriching the experience of Midtown’s workers and residents while encouraging sustainability through the use of low-water, urban tolerant plant species. This list of plants was created to aid individuals and organizations in selecting plant material to plant in their adopted tree wells. This plant list is intended to encourage individual character in the tree wells, rather than restrict creativity in the selection of plants. The plants on the approved list were selected based on the following criteria: • Perennial. All plants listed are perennial, meaning they last for two or more growing seasons. Once established, these plants will require less water to maintain than annuals. • Heat tolerant. Plants in tree wells are exposed to high temperatures caused by vehicles and heat reflected from surrounding buildings, asphalt, and other urban surfaces. They must also be tolerant to high daytime temperatures, typical of Atlanta’s summer months, and cold hardy in the winter months. Atlanta is located in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7b/8a. • Water wise. Urban tree wells are surrounded by impervious surfaces and thus, are highly susceptible to periods of drought. Suitable plants must be able to survive periods of low rainfall. • Pollution tolerant. Vehicle exhaust may leave deposits and pollutants on plant foliage, which can kill sensitive plants. • Encourage wildlife. Flowering plants attract insects such as butterflies while others provide food sources for birds and other wildlife. • Grown locally. Many of the plants listed are native to the Atlanta area, and all can be found at local nurseries.

  • Natural Radioactive Element Content of the Old Crystalline Rocks in Southern Transdanubia (Sw Hungary)
    Acta Mineralogica-Petrographica, Szeged, XL, 121-138, 1999 NATURAL RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT CONTENT OF THE OLD CRYSTALLINE ROCKS IN SOUTHERN TRANSDANUBIA (SW HUNGARY) E. PÁL MOLNÁR*, I. VADOS**, I. GERZSON**, B. KÓBOR* •Department of Mineralogy, Geochemistry and Pétrology, Attila József University "Mecsekérc Environment Protection Co. ABSTRACT On the basis of systématisation of several thousand radioactive element content analyses made in laboratories since the 50's, U and Th content of old granitoid rocks of Southern Transdanubia proved to be much higher than the average U and Th content of granitoids in the world. This value of rocks from areas west of Mecsek Mountains as well as near Szalatnak village and Pecs city is twice higher than the world average. Areas west of the Mecsek Mountains show higher U and lower Th contents than areas east of these mountains. Uranium accumulation is higher in aplites and hydrothermal formations than in granites. The western and eastern granites are less and highly sensitive to leaching, respectively. The intensive U migration resulted in significant U accumulation in young sediments in some places. INTRODUCTION Study of natural radioactive element (U /Ra1, Th, K) content of the rocks in Hungary was performed by the Mecseki Ércbányászati Vállalat (Mecsek Ore Mining Company) until 1990, when uranium exploration was stopped in Hungary. Aim of the analyses was to research U sources, therefore, rocks supposed to contain perspective U accumulation were mainly studied. The aim of this paper is to elaborate many thousands radiological data of granitoid rocks, gneisses and amphibolite-like metamorphic rocks coming from Southern Transdanubia (south of the Szekszárd-Kaposvár-Kutas line to the state boundary, and east of the Kutas-Csokonyavisonta-Barcs line to the Danube).

  • Adatok a Baranyai-Dombság Flórájához -..:::: Kitaibelia
    17 KITAIBELIA XIII. évf. 1. szám pp.: 17-28. Debrecen 2008 Adatok a Baranyai-dombság flórájához PURGER Dragica Pécsi Tudományegyetem, TTK, Biológiai Intézet, Állatökológia Tanszék, H-7624 Pécs, Ifjúság útja 6. [email protected] Bevezetés A Mecseken és környékén végzett botanikai kutatások több mint kétszáz éves történetét HORVÁT Adolf Olivér munkái foglalják össze (HORVÁT 1942, 1958, 1975, 1976, 1977). Az elmúlt évtizedekben végzett florisztikai felmérések eredményei számos adattal gazdagították ismereteinket a Baranyai-dombság növényvilágáról (KEVEY 1986, 1988, 1995, 2001, KEVEY & HORVÁT 2000, DÉNES 1997, TÓTH 1998, 1999, 2000). Az utóbbi öt évben országszerte intenzív terepbotanikai kutatások folytak, és a legújabb eredmények (K EVEY 2004, PÁL 2002 a, b, 2003, PURGER 2002 a, 2002 b, CSIKY et al. 2005) arról tanúskodnak, hogy a vizsgált terület még sok feltáratlan botanikai értéket rejt. A vizsgált terület és módszerek A Baranyai-dombság a Mecsekt ől délre-délkeletre terül el. Négy részre tagolódik. Délen a Pécsi-síkság, attól északkeletre, pedig a Geresdi-dombság helyezkedik el. Legnagyobb részét a Dél-Baranyai dombság kistáj teszi ki. A Baranyai-dombság negyedik részét, mint egy sziget a Villányi hegység képezi (MAROSI & SOMOGYI 1990). Ez utóbbi tájegységet azonban e munkában mell őzzük, tekintettel arra, hogy a növényföldrajzi dolgozatokban a Villányi-hegységet általában külön (pl. MOLNÁR 1999), vagy a Mecsekkel együtt tárgyalják (pl. BORHIDI 2006). A félreértések elkerülése végett itt jegyzem meg, hogy az el őző cikkemben (PURGER 2002 a) a „Baranyai-dombság” név alatt a Dél-Baranyai dombságot értettem. Mindazonáltal, az egész térséget, és ezt a területet is, a geográfusok és a botanikusok több néven tárgyalyák: pl.: Mecsekalja (HORVÁT 1942), Tolna-Baranyai dombvidék (BORHIDI 2006, PÁL 2003).
