  • Temporal and Spatial Patterns of Mitochondrial Haplotype And
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Temporal and spatial patterns of mitochondrial haplotype and species distributions in Siberian Received: 16 February 2018 Accepted: 1 November 2018 larches inferred from ancient Published: xx xx xxxx environmental DNA and modeling Laura S. Epp 1, Stefan Kruse1, Nadja J. Kath1,2, Kathleen R. Stoof-Leichsenring1, Ralph Tiedemann2, Luidmila A. Pestryakova3 & Ulrike Herzschuh1,2,4 Changes in species’ distributions are classically projected based on their climate envelopes. For Siberian forests, which have a tremendous signifcance for vegetation-climate feedbacks, this implies future shifts of each of the forest-forming larch (Larix) species to the north-east. However, in addition to abiotic factors, reliable projections must assess the role of historical biogeography and biotic interactions. Here, we use sedimentary ancient DNA and individual-based modelling to investigate the distribution of larch species and mitochondrial haplotypes through space and time across the treeline ecotone on the southern Taymyr peninsula, which at the same time presents a boundary area of two larch species. We fnd spatial and temporal patterns, which suggest that forest density is the most infuential driver determining the precise distribution of species and mitochondrial haplotypes. This suggests a strong infuence of competition on the species’ range shifts. These fndings imply possible climate change outcomes that are directly opposed to projections based purely on climate envelopes. Investigations of such fne-scale processes of biodiversity change through time are possible using paleoenvironmental DNA, which is available much more readily than visible fossils and can provide information at a level of resolution that is not reached in classical palaeoecology.

  • Fluorescent Band Pattern of Chromosomes in Pseudolarix Amabilis, Pinaceae
    © 2015 The Japan Mendel Society Cytologia 80(2): 151–157 Fluorescent Band Pattern of Chromosomes in Pseudolarix amabilis, Pinaceae Masahiro Hizume* Faculty of Education, Ehime University, 3 Bunkyo-cho, Matsuyama, Ehime 790–8577, Japan Received October 27, 2014; accepted November 18, 2014 Summary Pseudolarix amabilis belongs to one of three monotypic genera in Pinaceae. This species had 2n=44 chromosomes in somatic cells and its karyotype was composed of four long submetacentric chromosomes and 40 short telocentric chromosomes that varied gradually in length, supporting previous reports by conventional staining. The chromosomes were stained sequentially with the fluorochromes, chromomycin A3 (CMA) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). CMA- bands appeared on 12 chromosomes at near terminal region and proximal region. DAPI-bands appeared at centromeric terminal regions of all 40 telocentric chromosomes. The fluorescent-banded karyotype of this species was compared with those of other Pinaceae genera considering taxonomical treatment and molecular phylogenetic analyses reported. On the basis of the fluorescent-banded karyotype, the relationship between Pseudolarix amabilis and other Pinaceae genera was discussed. Key words Chromomycin, Chromosome, DAPI, Fluorescent banding, Pinaceae, Pseudolarix amabilis. In Pinaceae, 11 genera with about 220 species are distinguished and grow mostly in the Northern Hemisphere (Farjon 1990). Most genera are evergreen trees, and only Larix and Pseudolarix are deciduous. Pinus is the largest genus in species number, and Cathaya, Nothotsuga and Pseudolarix are monotypic genera. The taxonomy of Pinaceae with 11 genera is complicated, having some problems in species or variety level. Several higher taxonomic treatments were reported on the base of anatomy and morphology such as resin canal in the vascular cylinder, seed scale, position of mature cones, male strobili in clusters from a single bud, and molecular characters in base sequences of several DNA regions.

  • The Latitudinal Distribution of Vegetation Cover in Siberia
    BIO Web of Conferences 16, 00047 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/bioconf/20191600047 Results and Prospects of Geobotanical Research in Siberia The latitudinal distribution of vegetation cover in Siberia Irina Safronova*, Tatiana Yurkovsksya Komarov Botanical Institute of Russian academy of sciences Professor Popov str., 2, Saint- Petersburg, 197346, Russia Abstract. The latitudinal changes of vegetation cover on the plains of Siberia are observed. In Western Siberia there are 4 zones (tundra and taiga, and forest-steppe and steppe only here), in Central and North-Eastern Siberia – only 2 zones (tundra and taiga).Tundra zone is represented by 4 subzones in Central Siberia; in Western and North-Eastern Siberia – by 3 subzones (there are no polar subzone). All 5 subzones of the taiga zone are distinguished both in Western Siberia and in the Central Siberia, but in the Central Siberia, forests are found in very high latitudes. The feature of the taiga zone of Western Siberia is high paludification. As a result, the vegetation of mires dominates over the zonal vegetation. Zonal West Siberian types are dark coniferous forests. Light coniferous forests predominate in the taiga zone of Central and North-Eastern Siberia. In the forest-steppe zone in Western Siberia forests are small-leaved − birch, aspen-birch (Betula pendula, Populus tremula). The abundance of mires is the feature of this zone, as well as in the taiga. Taiga forests predominate in Siberia. There is tundra vegetation on the Islands of the Arctic Ocean and on narrow strip along its coast; the steppes occupy a small area in the South of the West Siberian lowland.

The key question of this study was to assess the effect of site conditions on macroelement concentration and stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) dynamics during the growing season, and nutrient stoichiometry and resorption efficiency in the foliage of two common larch species in Siberia. Foliar nutrient (N, P and K) concentrations of larches grown on permafrost soils were exceptionally high in juvenile needles compared to those from a permafrost-free region (+50% and 130% for P and K), but were two-fold lower at needle maturation.

In this study the needle anatomy of 12 Larix species were investigated. The results showed that the shape of the needle in cross-section, the presence of secretory structures and the number of hypodermis layers on the lateral margin of needles are of taxonomic and diagnostic value at the species level. We have also been checked the taxonomic status and geographical distribution of some critical taxa). Larix archangelica x L. dahurica was found in the Yamal-Nenets autonomous district. Hybridogeneous nature of larch, growing in Kamchatka and the need to describe it as a separate species are confirmed. It is found that a typical section Larix by the morphology of vegetative and reproductive organs are clearly divided into 4 groups. Background In different taxonomic treatments, the genus Larix Mill. includes between 11 [1] up to 20 species. Nine of them are found in the wild in the territory of Russia [2]. Despite numerous studies, by of various authors, devoted to the systematics of the Russian species of the genus Larix [2-14], there are still many unresolved questions.

  • Wood and Lumber Properties of Larix Gmelinii Var. Olgensis Planted in Japan
    PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE bioresources.com Wood and Lumber Properties of Larix gmelinii var. olgensis Planted in Japan Futoshi Ishiguri,a,* Taiichi Iki,b Kouhei Otsuka,c Yusuke Takahashi,a Ikumi Nezu,a Bayasaa Tumenjargal,a,d,e Jyunichi Ohshima,a and Shinso Yokota a In order to promote plantation establishment of Larix gmelinii var. olgensis (syn. L. olgensis A. Henry), a 'near threatened' species, the wood and lumber properties were preliminary investigated for five trees from two clones of 57-year-old trees planted in Japan. The mean value of dynamic Young's modulus of logs was 10.16 GPa. The mean values of annual ring width, latewood percentage, basic density, MOE, and MOR of five sample trees were 2.1 mm, 29.3%, 0.47 g•cm-3, 8.06 GPa, and 60.4 MPa, respectively. In addition, the MOE and MOR of 2 by 4 lumber were 10.43 GPa and 42.4 MPa, respectively. These values were similar to those obtained from other Larix species. Thus, construction lumber could be produced from the wood from plantation grown L. gmelinii var. olgensis.

    SECTION 3. NATIVE NORTH AMERICAN LARCHES - 91 Section 3. Native north american larches: subalpine larch (Larix lyallii), western larch (L. occidentalis), and tamarack (L. laricina) Preamble: Each of the three North American larch species is usually discussed separately in each section and subsection of this Consensus Document in the following order: subalpine larch (Larix lyallii), western larch (Larix occidentalis), and tamarack (Larix laricina). 1. Taxonomy Larch forests essentially encircle the colder temperate Northern Hemisphere. Within this area, the larch genus (Larix) is represented by 10-15 species and some subspecies or varieties as well as natural hybrids (Schmidt, 1995; Semerikov and Lascoux 2003; Semerikov et al, 2003). Ten species usually recognised are the North Eurasian Larix decidua, L. sibirica (synonym L. russica), L. gmelinii (including L. cajanderi, L. dahurica, and possibly L. olgensis), and L. kaempferi (synonym L. leptolepis); the South Asian L. griffithiana, L. mastersiana, and L. potaninii; and the North American L. laricina, L. lyallii, and L. occidentalis. All true larches are in the genus Larix Mill., a deciduous needle-leaf lineage in the gymnosperm family Pinaceae. Larch taxonomy has had limited overall attention. This is reflected in a lack of consensus about what constitutes a larch species or subspecies (or botanical variety), and about the phylogenetic relationships among species (Semerikov et al, 2003). The proposed division of Larix into two sections based largely on cone morphology (Vidakovic, 1991) is not supported by studies of chloroplast DNA variation (Qian et al, 1995), nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (Gernandt and Liston, 1999), amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) (Semerikov et al, 2003), or allozyme variation (Semerikov and Lascoux, 1999; Semerikov et al, 1999).
