  • Tree Shelter
    tree shelter RAINBOW PROFESSIONAL LAUNCH INNOVATIVE NEW PVC AND BIODEGRADABLE TREE SHELTER The innovative ‘tree shelter and stake combination’ from Rainbow Professional brings to the market a totally new concept for the care and protection of young trees and offers both standard PVC and biodegradable versions. This high quality tree shelter has the unique option of being supplied flat packed yet on installation you simply create the round shelter shape by bringing the two ends together and slide onto the stake. This enables quick and easy installation of the new round shelter and with no fiddly ties. In designing the new style shelter Rainbow are pleased to offer a biodegradable version which is totally different to other starch based shelters currently on the market. This exciting development draws on Rainbow’s experience using tried, tested and fully certified biodegradable materials. Please contact us for more details or go to our website www.rainbow.eu.com The standard tree shelter is made from PVC whilst the stake is a mixture of PVC and pulverized wool. Both are manufactured from 100% recycled materials and are backed by the 40 years plus experience of the Rainbow brand working in the tree planting and tree care market. PVC has many advantages over alternative plastics, it is a long lasting outdoor plastic and offers a minimum of 4 growing seasons of protection even at high UV exposure levels. This material does not become weaker at higher temperatures and will not collapse around young trees in the summer months. PVC ultimately breaks down into minute inert particles through photo degradation.

  • Tree Care Handbook
    Minnesota SWCD Forestry Association Tree Handbook Dear Tree Planter. With headlines reporting the continuing deforestation of the tropical rain forest, one may ask the question: Are America’s forests in danger of disappearing? Because people such as yourself practice reforestation, our forested acres are actually growing in size. About one-third of the United States, or 731 million acres is covered with trees. That’s about 70 percent of the forest that existed when Columbus discovered America. Almost one third of this is set aside in permanent parks and wilderness areas. Minnesotans’ have planted an average of 12 million trees annually; enough trees to cover over 15,000 acres per year. Good land stewards are planting trees for many good reasons. The results of their efforts can be seen in reduced soil erosion, improved air and water quality, healthy forest industries, enhanced wildlife habitat and generally a more attractive surrounding for us to live in. Aspen has become the most prominent tree in Minnesota’s forests. After clearcutting, aspen regenerates readily by sprouting from its root system or by drifting seeds onto disturbed sites. Most of the other major species in Minnesota need some help from tree planters to ensure that they make up a part of the new forest. The following pages will help explain how to plant and care for a tree seedling. There is a section on the general characteristics and planting requirements of the tree and shrub species commonly planted for conservation purposes in Minnesota. The professionals working in conservation throughout Minnesota thank you for planting, nurturing and wisely using one of Minnesota’s greatest treasures its renewable trees.

  • Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties
    BOSTON PUBLIC UBRARY Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties -r^-^ -. ^ 1 mi ^ E ^ s Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties By D. C. BEARD With Illustrations by the Author NEW YORK Charles Scribner's Sons 1916 -n ^^ Copyright, 1914, by CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS Published September, 1914 DEDICATED TO DANIEL BARTLETT BEARD BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE OF THE BIG OUTDOORS FOREWORD As this book is written for boys of all ages, it has been divided under two general heads, "The Tomahawk Camps" and ''The Axe Camps,'' that is, camps which may be built wdth no tool but a hatchet, and camps that will need the aid of an axe. The smallest boys can build some of the simple shelters and the older boys can build the more difficult ones. The reader may, if he likes, begin with the first of the book, build his way through it, and graduate by building the log houses; in doing this he will be closely following the his- tory of the human race, because ever since our arboreal ancestors wdth prehensile toes scampered among the branches of the pre-glacial forests and built nestlike shelters in the trees, men have made themselves shacks for a temporary refuge. But as one of the members of the Camp-Fire Club of America, as one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of America, and as the founder of the Boy Pioneers of America, it w^ould not be proper for the author to admit for one moment that there can be such a thing as a camp without a camp-fire, and for that reason the tree folks and the "missing link" whose remains were vii viii Foreword found in Java, and to whom the scientists gave the awe- inspiring name of Pithecanthropus erectus, cannot be counted as campers, because they did not know how to build a camp-fire; neither can we admit the ancient maker of stone implements, called eoliths, to be one of us, because he, too, knew not the joys of a camp-fire.

A structural description is a prerequisite for any prediction of wind flow. Optical porosity ͑percentage of open spaces on the side view of a shelterbelt͒ has been used as a structural descriptor of a shelterbelt; however, it is a 2-dimensional measure unable to fully represent the aerodynamic influence of a tree shelterbelt. Based on numerous studies observing the wind fields associated with shelterbelt structure, the overall aerodynamic structure of a tree shel- terbelt in three dimensions is defined by its external structural characteristics ͑length, height, width, and cross- sectional shape͒ and by its internal structural components ͑amounts and arrangements of vegetative surface area and volume, and geometric shape of individual vegetative elements͒.

  • Tree Shelters Influence Growth and Survival of Carob (Ceratonia Siliqua L.) and Cork Oak
    Transactions on Ecology and the Environment vol 46, © 2001 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 Tree shelters influence growth and survival of carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) and cork oak (Quercus suber L.) plants on degraded Mediterranean sites P.M. Marques, L. Ferreira, 0.Correia & M.A. Martins-Lou@o Centro de Ecologia e Biologia Vegetal, Faculdade de Ci6ncias da Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal Abstract Tree shelters were used in an ecological restoration effort in 1999 and 2000 to test the decrease in transplant shock and increase in growth and survival of two selected Mediterranean species, carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) and cork oak (Quercus suber L.), planted in a dry degraded region. At plantation, two treatments were established, one planted with 60 cm tall TUBEX MinitubesTMand the other planted without tree shelters. Results have shown that tree shelters dramatically increased survival of sheltered plants and also stimulated height growth, probably caused by reduced light regimes inside shelters, inducing shade adaptation. Different biomass partition occurred between sheltered and unsheltered plants, although no effect in increased biomass production was observed. This work shows that individual tree shelters successfully increase establishment of newly planted plants in dry, degraded areas of the Mediterranean. 1 Introduction Land degradation and drought are serious global problems, which threaten extensive marginal lands all around the world. In the Mediterranean region, the arid, semiarid and dry sub-humid areas are particularly susceptible to erosion and soil degradation. There has been an increased awareness towards Transactions on Ecology and the Environment vol 46, © 2001 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 rehabilitation of these degraded ecosystems, which is causing socio-economic changes based on improved land-use management practices.
