FUNGI and INSECTS ASSOCIATED with Acacia Decurrens AS FUNGI AND INSECTS ASSOCIATED WITH Acacia decurrens AS INVASIVE SPECIES AT MERAPI VOLCANO NATIONAL PARK IN YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA Sri Rahayu Faculty of Forestry Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] Introduction Acacia decurrens is to be one of invasive species in the Merapi Volcano National Park (MVNP), Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The seeds and leaves of Acacia less attractive wildlife Merapi, so feared could reduce diversity of wildlife in it. The Acacia plant is also intolerant, so its fast growing and inhibit the growth of native species of Merapi. Simple measurements were taken by MVNP management in some areas, such as in Glagaharjo, Resort a Cangkringan, Sleman, on March 2012, found thata density of A decurrens atc b the seedling and sapling stage were 16.166,7 and 11.813,3 per hectare, b respectively. DBH of Acacia can reach till 26 cm in 18 months. (MVNP, 2012). c The aim of the research are 1. to observed associated fungi and insects on A. decurens, 2. to investigate fungi or insects that may have big potential for reducing growth and development or killing A. decurens as invasive spesies. c Survey research with 10% sampling intensity have been conducted in d MVNP area during 2013. Result and Discussion a. Mt. Merapi, b. Demonstration Plot for restoration Mt. Merapi after eruption, c. Acacia decurrens dominated the demonstration plot, d.

Acacia mearnsii is the most widespread and important weed but also forms the basis of an important industry. A. dealbata, and to a lesser extent A. decurrens are also problems. All belong to the Section Botrycephalae of the sub-genus Heterophyllum. Short term control is achieved locally by removing plants, and by using herbicides, but seed-feeding control agents may provide an acceptable solution in the long term. Larvae of Bruchophagus acaciae (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) develop in the seeds of acacias. It was described from New Zealand, but is an Australian species. We explore whether B. acaciae has a role as a con- trol agent for acacias in South Africa. Seed was collected from 28 Australian species of Acacia growing in New Zealand. Attack was restricted to four of the seven species with- in the Section Botrycephalae, and two cases of attack on Acacia rubida (Section Phyllodineae; n=9). Apart from a wasp reared from one seed, A.

  • Non-Expressway Master Plant List
    MASTER PLANT LIST GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO PLANT LISTS Plants are living organisms. They possess variety in form, foliage and flower color, visual texture and ultimate size. There is variation in plants of the same species. Plants change: with seasons, with time and with the environment. Yet here is an attempt to categorize and catalogue a group of plants well suited for highway and expressway planting in Santa Clara County. This is possible because in all the existing variety of plants, there still remains a visual, morphological and taxonomical distinction among them. The following lists and identification cards emphasize these distinctions. 1 of 6 MASTER PLANT LIST TREES Acacia decurrens: Green wattle Acacia longifolia: Sydney golden wattle Acacia melanoxylon: Blackwood acacia Acer macrophyllum: Bigleaf maple Aesculus californica: California buckeye Aesculus carnea: Red horsechestnut Ailanthus altissima: Tree-of-heaven Albizia julibrissin: Silk tree Alnus cordata: Italian alder Alnus rhombifolia: White alder Arbutus menziesii: Madrone Calocedrus decurrens: Incense cedar Casuarina equisetifolia: Horsetail tree Casuarina stricta: Coast beefwood Catalpa speciosa: Western catalpa Cedrus deodara: Deodar cedar Ceratonia siliqua: Carob Cinnamomum camphora: Camphor Cordyline australis: Australian dracena Crataegus phaenopyrum: Washington thorn Cryptomeria japonica: Japanese redwood Cupressus glabra: Arizona cypress Cupressus macrocarpa: Monterey cypress Eriobotrya japonica: Loquat Eucalyptus camaldulensis: Red gum Eucalyptus citriodora: Lemon-scented

  • Science, Sentiment and Territorial Chauvinism in the Acacia Name Change Debate
    9 Science, sentiment and territorial chauvinism in the acacia name change debate Christian A. Kull School of Geography and Environmental Science, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria [email protected] Haripriya Rangan Monash University, Clayton, Victoria Introduction The genus Acacia, as Peter Kershaw has often told us, may be widely present in the landscape, but its pollen is seldom found in any abundance. The pollen grains are heavy and probably not capable of long-distance transport, and even where they dominate the vegetation, their pollen is greatly under-represented. Compounding the problem, Acacia pollen tends to break up into individual units that are difficult to identify. However, as we hope to show in our contribution celebrating Peter’s work, the poor representation of acacias in palaeoenvironmental records is more than compensated by its dominating presence in what has been described as one of the longest running, most acrimonious debates in the history of botanical nomenclature (Brummitt 2011). Few would imagine botanical nomenclature to be a hotbed of passion and intrigue, but the vociferous arguments and machinations of botanists regarding the rightful ownership of the Latin genus name Acacia give an extraordinary insight into the tensions that arise when factors such as aesthetic judgement, political clout and nationalist sentiments dominate the process of scientific classification. After much lobbying and procedural wrangling, on July 16, the last day of the 2005 International Botanical Congress in Vienna, botanists approved a decision to allow an exception to the nomenclatural ‘principle of priority’ for the acacia genus. With increasing demand by botanists to split apart the massive cosmopolitan and paraphyletic genus into several monophyletic genera, the Vienna decision conserved the name acacia for the members of the new genus from Australia.

  • Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt
    plants Article Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt Rania A. Hassan * and Rim S. Hamdy Botany and Microbiology Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza 12613, Egypt; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: For the first time, an updated checklist of Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia species in Egypt is provided, focusing on the exotic species. Taking into consideration the retypification of genus Acacia ratified at the Melbourne International Botanical Congress (IBC, 2011), a process of reclassification has taken place worldwide in recent years. The review of Acacia and its segregates in Egypt became necessary in light of the available information cited in classical works during the last century. In Egypt, various taxa formerly placed in Acacia s.l., have been transferred to Acacia s.s., Acaciella, Senegalia, Parasenegalia and Vachellia. The present study is a contribution towards clarifying the nomenclatural status of all recorded species of Acacia and its segregate genera. This study recorded 144 taxa (125 species and 19 infraspecific taxa). Only 14 taxa (four species and 10 infraspecific taxa) are indigenous to Egypt (included now under Senegalia and Vachellia). The other 130 taxa had been introduced to Egypt during the last century. Out of the 130 taxa, 79 taxa have been recorded in literature. The focus of this study is the remaining 51 exotic taxa that have been traced as living species in Egyptian gardens or as herbarium specimens in Egyptian herbaria. The studied exotic taxa are accommodated under Acacia s.s. (24 taxa), Senegalia (14 taxa) and Vachellia (13 taxa).

  • How to Help Urban Trees Survive a Drought
    HOW TO HELP URBAN TREES SURVIVE A DROUGHT City of Santa Monica Public Works Department Public Landscape Division Urban Forest (310) 458-8974 [email protected] www.santamonicatrees.com 2 INTRODUCTION The City of Santa Monica has over 33,000 street and park trees. A 2015 research study by the U.S. Forest Service calculated these trees annually deliver $5.1 million dollars worth of benefits to the community by cleaning the air, increasing property value, and reducing energy use among others. Trees are an essential element of the City and need assistance during a drought. The two most important influences on an urban tree are the availability of adequate water and nutrients. A lack of water can cause high levels of stress and increased susceptibility to disease and is one of the primary causes of death. It is always important to conserve water, but even more so during a drought. However, when we reduce watering our landscapes to save water, it is very important to ensure that associated trees continue to receive water as it: Cools the tree through transpiration and transports nutrients from the soil throughout the tree Supports healthy growth Helps defend the tree from pests and disease Yet, too much water can be wasteful and harm trees. This guide shares recommendations based on science, research and industry best practices to help you determine the right amount of water for trees and provides information on how you can help trees survive a drought. By using this information, arranged in the four steps below, you will help Santa Photo credit: Arbor Day Foundation Monica conserve water and have healthy trees long into the future.
