Norbert Frank, Content development: Dana Ellison, Tree form illustrations: Marlene Cameron. Smart tree selections for communities and landowners Bert Cregg and Robert Schutzki, Michigan State University, Departments of Horticulture and Forestry A smart urban or community landscape has a diverse combination of trees. The devastation caused by exotic pests such as Dutch elm disease, chestnut blight and emerald ash borer has taught us the importance of species diversity in our landscapes. Exotic invasive pests can devastate existing trees because many of these species may not have evolved resistance mechanisms in their native environments. In the recent case of emerald ash borer, white ash and green ash were not resistant to the pest and some communities in Michigan lost up to 20 percent of their tree cover. To promote diverse use of trees by homeowners, landscapers and urban foresters, Michigan State University Extension offers a series of tip sheets for smart urban and community tree selection. In these tip sheets, we suggest trees that should be considered in situations where an ash tree may have been planted in the past.

  • Carpinus Orientalis
    Carpinus orientalis Carpinus orientalis in Europe: distribution, habitat, usage and threats R. Sikkema, G. Caudullo Carpinus orientalis Mill., commonly known as oriental hornbeam, is a small tree or shrub commonly found on dry and rocky slopes of low elevation mountains in South-East Europe. Its wide distribution range reaches through the Black Sea to the Caucasus region. It is a frugal and drought-resistant species, which prefers calcareous soils and is frequently found in disturbed sites. Thanks to its strong suckering capacity and hard wood, it is often managed in coppiced stands for the production of quality firewood and charcoal. No significant pests or diseases are recorded for this tree. The oriental hornbeam (Carpinus orientalis Mill.), is a large shrub or small tree, 1-5 metres tall, rarely up to 15 m, with a grey irregularly ribbed stem. The leaves are -elliptic with evident Frequency ovate < 25% veins, tomentose, with serrate margins and short petioles 5-8 mm 25% - 50% 50% - 75% long.

As a result of examination of six hundred thirty moss samples, which collected from İğneada Floodplain Forest National Park, were examined 24 families, 55 genera, 102 taxa species or subspecies. In terms of taxa number, the richest six families are; Pottiaceae (20), Brachytheciaceae (14), Polytrichaceae (9), Orthotrichaceae (8), Hypnaceae (6), Bryaceae (6). Atrichum crispum (James) Sull., and Bryum gemmiferum (R. Wilczek & Demaret.) (in press), marked with a black diamond (♦) sign are new records for the Turkish bryophyte flora. According to Henderson (1961) grid square system, 17 moss taxa marked with an asterisk (*) sing are new records for A1 square.

  • The Relationship Among Infection Intensity of Viscum Album with Some Ecological Parameters of Host Trees
    Int. J. Environ. Res., 1(2): 143-149, Spring 2007 ISSN: 1735-6865 The Relationship among Infection Intensity of Viscum album with some Ecological Parameters of Host Trees Kartoolinejad, D.1*, Hosseini, S. M.1, Mirnia, S. K.2, Akbarinia, M.1 and Shayanmehr, F.1 1Natural Resources Faculty, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran 2Agriculture Faculty, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran Received 20 March 2006; Revised 12 Dec 2006; Accepted 10 Jan 2007 ABSTRACT: We investigated the relations among infection intensity of European mistletoe (Viscum album L.) with host tree features in Nour Forest Park, located in Caspian Forests in North of Iran. The number of 30 circular plots with an area of 0.1 ha were sampled in all places have an aggregation of infested trees. Parameters including DBH, height, distance to stand edge, distance to conspecific tree, bark diameter and the number of adult mistletoe per tree for all infected individuals were recorded. Results showed that the mistletoe abundance and infection intensity in Parrotia persica was more than the other host species and also, have positive significant relation with DBH, distance to conspecific and locating in the stand edge, but no significant relation observed about height of host trees. Results of this study suggest that individual differences among host trees (specially DBH) play an important role in explaining local abundance and distribution of mistletoe plants. Key words: Infection intensity, European mistletoe, Host trees, Caspian forests, Conspecific tree *Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Mistletoes are a polyphyletic and diverse real root, parasitize the stems of dicotyledonous group of flowering plants comprising over 1306 trees and shrubs by means of parenchyma organs species from a broad range of habitats across all named haustoria, developing from the radicle of continents except Antarctica.

The only exception is the Eurasian Sect. Cerris that comprises 15 species, a dozen of which are confined to western Eurasia. This section has not been comprehensively studied using molecular tools. Here, we assess species diversity and reconstruct a first comprehensive taxonomic scheme of western Eurasian members of Sect. Cerris using plastid (trnH-psbA) and nuclear (5S-IGS) DNA variation with a dense intra-specific and geographic sampling.
