  • Experimental Branch Cooling Increases Foliar Sugar and Anthocyanin Concentrations in Sugar Maple at the End of the Growing Season Paul G
    696 NOTE Experimental branch cooling increases foliar sugar and anthocyanin concentrations in sugar maple at the end of the growing season Paul G. Schaberg, Paula F. Murakami, John R. Butnor, and Gary J. Hawley Abstract: Autumnal leaf anthocyanin expression is enhanced following exposure to a variety of environmental stresses and may represent an adaptive benefit of protecting leaves from those stresses, thereby allowing for prolonged sugar and nutrient resorption. Past work has shown that experimentally induced sugar accumulations following branch girdling triggers anthocyanin biosynthesis. We hypothesized that reduced phloem transport at low autumnal temperatures may increase leaf sugar concentrations that stimulate anthocyanin production, resulting in enhanced tree- and landscape-scale color change. We used refrigerant-filled tubing to cool individual branches in a mature sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) tree to test whether phloem cooling would trigger foliar sugar accumulations and enhance anthocyanin biosynthesis. Cooling increased foliar sucrose, glucose, and fructose concentrations 2- to nearly 10-fold (depending on the specific sugar and sampling date) relative to controls and increased anthocyanin concentrations by approximately the same amount. Correlation analyses indicated a strong and steady positive relationship between anthocyanin and sugar concentrations, which was consistent with a mechanistic link between cooling-induced changes in these constituents. Tested here at the branch level, we propose that low temperature induced

  • Acer Rubrum ‘Red Sunset’ ‘Red Sunset’ Red Maple1 Edward F
    Fact Sheet ST-47 November 1993 Acer rubrum ‘Red Sunset’ ‘Red Sunset’ Red Maple1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION ‘Red Sunset’ and ‘October Glory’ have proven to be the best cultivars of Red Maple for the south (Fig. 1). ‘Red Sunset’ has strong wood and is a vigorous, fast-grower, reaching a height of 50 feet with a spread of 25 to 35 feet. Trees are often seen shorter in the southern part of its range unless located on a wet site. This tree is preferred over Red Maple, Silver Maple or Boxelder when a fast-growing maple is needed, and will take on a pyramidal or oval silhouette. The newly emerging red flowers and fruits signal that spring has come. They appear in December and January in Florida, later in the northern part of its range. Leaves retain an attractive high gloss throughout the growing season. The seeds of ‘Red Sunset’ Red Maple are quite popular with squirrels and birds.

  • The Viability of Tree Leaves for Cellulosic Ethanol
    The Viability of Tree Leaves for Cellulosic Ethanol. Testing Select Quercus & Acer saccharum species for glucose content through acid & enzyme hydrolysis Ryan Caudill Grove High School 2013-14 Purpose The purpose of this project is to measure the glucose levels in leaves collected from two varieties of sugar maple and two varieties of oak trees to see if they are viable sources for cellulosic ethanol production. The varieties to be tested are: Acer saccharum “Caddo” (Caddo sugar maple) Acer saccharum “Commemoration” (Commemoration sugar maple) Quercus rubra (red oak) Quercus alba (white oak) Hypothesis A. It is hypothesized that the leaves of two sugar maple varieties, Acer saccharum “Caddo” and Acer saccharum “Commemoration” will contain higher levels of glucose than the leaves of the two varieties of Oak, Quercus alba and Quercus rubra. B. It is also hypothesized that the leaves of all varieties chosen will contain enough glucose to be viable sources for cellulosic ethanol production. Background Research Carbon based fuels have been used in past generations and generations to come. Carbon based fuels are a great source of energy this is why they are used as fuels. When these fuels are burned for their energy to be released this will add carbon to the atmosphere, and that’s not a good thing. Carbon is the primary greenhouse gas emitted by human activity. Also Carbon fuels are in a limited supply, they are nonrenewable and they are being used up at a very quick rate. It is important for the introduction of good reliable fuels that can be used on a very large scale.

BRZYSKI (Under the direction of Bruce A. Schulte) ABSTRACT North American beavers are considered ecosystem engineers. Their activities can quickly and drastically alter habitat properties and perhaps permit highly aggressive colonizing plants, notably non-native species, to invade and potentially dominate. This study examined if beavers in southeastern Georgia have an effect on the terrestrial plant community. Sampling areas included beaver modified (N=9) and nearby but relatively non-impacted riparian habitat (N=9) in a matched pairs design. Vegetation surveys were performed in spring and summer. Species richness was calculated for herbs, vines, woody seedlings, and woody vegetation. Richness of herbaceous vegetation was higher at distances closer to shore while richness of large woody vegetation increased with distance from shore.

  • Red Maple (Acer Rubrum) Plant Family: Aceraceae
    BWSR Featured Plant Name: Red Maple (Acer rubrum) Plant Family: Aceraceae Statewide Wetland Acer rubrum is hard to miss in the fall landscape Indicator Status: with its bright red fall color. Blooming from FAC April to May and growing up to 90 feet tall, this native tree provides habitat in moist forests for cavity nesters like wood ducks, woodpeckers, and chickadees and is an important early season source of pollen and nectar for pollinators. The species also plays an important role in stabilizing soils along rivers and streams. Red maple, fall color Red female flowers above and Identification newly developing seeds below Gray bark, rounded buds and simple, opposite leaves aid in the identification of red maple. It tends to have a relativley open growth form with main branches that are closer to the ground than many other tree species. Its leaves are around four inches long, palmate, with three shallow lobes and five main veins radiating from the base. Its red or yellowish flowers bloom early in the spring before the leaves develop. When it matures in early summer, the red, yellow or reddish-brown samaras are distributed by wind and root easily by a large taproot, followed by smaller lateral roots. Range In the Eastern Deciduous Forest, red maple is one of the most successful species due to aggressive seeding and an ability to tolerant a wide variety of site conditions. Red maple prefers wet sites such as floodplains, river valleys, swamps, forested bogs, and wooded bluffs. However, the species is widespread throughout Minnesota and North America, from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia south to Texas and east to Florida.

  • Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
    Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.

  • (LONICERA MAACKII) COMPARED to OTHER WOODY SPECIES By
    ABSTRACT BEAVER (CASTOR CANADENSIS) ELECTIVITY FOR AMUR HONEYSUCKLE (LONICERA MAACKII) COMPARED TO OTHER WOODY SPECIES by Janet L. Deardorff The North American beaver is a keystone riparian obligate which creates and maintains riparian areas by building dams. In much of the eastern U.S., invasive shrubs are common in riparian zones, but we do not know if beavers promote or inhibit these invasions. I investigated whether beavers use the invasive shrub, Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii), preferentially compared to other woody species and the causes of differences in L. maackii electivity among sites. At eight sites, I identified woody stems on transects, recording stem diameter, distance to the water’s edge, and whether the stem was cut by beaver. To determine predictors of cutting by beaver, I conducted binomial generalized regressions, using distance from the water’s edge, diameter, and plant genus as fixed factors and site as a random factor. To quantify beaver preference, I calculated an electivity index (Ei) for each genus at each site. Lonicera maackii was only preferred at two of the eight sites though it comprised 41% of the total cut stems. Stems that were closer to the water’s edge and with a smaller diameter had a higher probability of being cut. Among sites, L. maackii electivity was negatively associated with the density of stems of preferred genera.

A literature review prepared for the Grand Canyon Trust Source: Canadian Wildlife Federation, www.cwf­fcf.org/.../fete­du­canada.html Karen Henker, [email protected] Green Mountain College August 5, 2009 Beaver Diet Review 2 This literature review found an abundance of studies investigating the dietary preferences of American beaver (Castor canadensis, hereafter “beaver”), conducted across the North American continent and spanning eight decades. All studies agreed that beaver are “fastidious generalists” (Olson & Hubert 1994), capable of consuming a wide array of vegetal species yet demonstrating preference for some species over others, depending on what is available in their habitat. For ease of reference, discussion of this vast body of literature is hereby arranged as answers to the following five questions: • What are beavers’ preferred species of woody and herbaceous vegetation? • Do their diets fluctuate seasonally, and in what ways? • From where do they gather their consumables, and at what rate? • How much food does a beaver require each year, and how was that measured? • How might beaver diets change over time, or influence their habitats? Dietary Species Preferences Beaver will sample just about any herbaceous or woody plant found in their habitats. Through analysis of stomach contents, Roberts and Arner (1984) identified 16 genera of herbaceous plants, 4 woody vines, and 15 tree species consumed by beaver in Mississippi. Usage of woody or herbaceous species is not proportionate to availability, however, but shows clear preferences, although the makeup of each “list of favorites” is a function of habitat (Fitzgerald et al.
