Henry 2 Corymbia citriodora is a member of the predominantly Southern Hemisphere Myrtaceae family, which includes the eucalypts (Eucalyptus, Corymbia and Angophora; ~800 species). 1234567890():,; Corymbia is grown for timber, pulp and paper, and essential oils in Australia, South Africa, Asia, and Brazil, maintaining a high-growth rate under marginal conditions due to drought, poor-quality soil, and biotic stresses. To dissect the genetic basis of these desirable traits, we sequenced and assembled the 408 Mb genome of Corymbia citriodora, anchored into eleven chromosomes. Comparative analysis with Eucalyptus grandis reveals high synteny, although the two diverged approximately 60 million years ago and have different genome sizes (408 vs 641 Mb), with few large intra-chromosomal rearrangements. -

The swine waste was mixed with a commercial substrate in order to analyze the effects of five doses, in a randomized block design, considering the N requirement of the species, which were T1 – 0%; T2 – 50%; T3 – 100%; T4 – 150% and; T5 – 200% and one treatment with mineral fertilization for comparison. The Corymbia citriodora seeds were germinated in plastic tubes with a commercial substrate plus swine waste. As the seedlings reached about five centimeters the thinning was performed, and when the plants reached 15 cm in length the growth analysis was started. At the end of the experiment the seedlings were measured, weighed and milled for macro and micronutrients determination. The best doses of liquid swine waste were 150% and 200% which showed the highest growth average values of the Corymbia citriodora seedlings, to the detriment of the nutritional and physical improvement of the substrate.

Mansoura University, Egypt. ABSTRACT This study was conducted to evaluate the toxic effect of three essential oils extracted from Rosemary Salvia rosmarinus (Lamiales: Lamiaceae), Lemongrass Cymbopogon citratus ( Poales: Poaceae), and Camphor Eucalyptus melliodora (Myrtales: Myrtaceae) leaves compared to Diver® 97% E.C. under laboratory conditions on 3rd instar nymph of Cotton Mealybug (CMB) Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). The chemical composition of the extracted essential oils was clarified. Results showed that the most remarkable toxic essential oils to the 3rd instar nymph of P. solenopsis after three days of treatment were S. rosmarinus followed by C. citratus. The LC50 values were 3102.591 and 3323.293 ppm, respectively; while, the LC50 values after seven days for C. citratus followed by S. rosmarinus were 680.073 and 740.591 ppm, respectively. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry was used to analyze the essential oils and identify the most active ingredients. Results revealed that the most abundant constituents of E. melliodora were found to be (z)-tagetenone (20.56%) and p-cymene (16.62%). The S. rosmarinus essential oil mainly consisted of 1,8-cineol (18.37%), bornyl acetate (13.02%), and norbornan-2-one (12.53%), while the major constituent of C. -

SF Street Tree Species List 2019
Department of Public Works 2019 Recommended Street Tree Species List 1 Introduction The San Francisco Urban Forestry Council periodically reviews and updates this list of trees in collaboration with public and non-profit urban forestry stakeholders, including San Francisco Public Works, Bureau of Urban Forestry and Friends of the Urban Forest. The 2019 Street Tree List was approved by the Urban Forestry Council on October 22, 2019. This list is intended to be used for the public realm of streets and associated spaces and plazas that are generally under the jurisdiction of the Public Works. While the focus is on the streetscape, e.g., tree wells in the public sidewalks, the list makes accommodations for these other areas in the public realm, e.g., “Street Parks.” While this list recommends species that are known to do well in many locations in San Francisco, no tree is perfect for every potential tree planting location. This list should be used as a guideline for choosing which street tree to plant but should not be used without the help of an arborist or other tree professional. All street trees must be approved by Public Works before planting. Sections 1 and 2 of the list are focused on trees appropriate for sidewalk tree wells, and Section 3 is intended as a list of trees that have limited use cases and/or are being considered as street trees. Finally, new this year, Section 4, is intended to be a list of local native tree and arborescent shrub species that would be appropriate for those sites in the public realm that have more space than the sidewalk planting wells, for example, stairways, “Street Parks,” plazas, and sidewalk gardens, where more concrete has been extracted. -
Lowland Grassy Woodland in the South East Corner Bioregion
Lowland Grassy Woodland in the South East Corner Bioregion Introduction These guidelines provide background information to assist landholders to identify remnants of Lowland Grassy Woodland in the South East Corner Bioregion (known here as Lowland Grassy Woodland). For more detailed information refer to the NSW Scientific Committee’s Final Determination at www.threatenedspecies.environment.nsw.gov.au/tsprofile/profile.aspx?id=20070 What is an endangered ecological community? An ecological community is a unique and naturally occurring assemblage of plants and animals. The presence of an ecological community can be determined by factors such as soil type, position in the landscape, climate and water availability, all of which influence species composition. An endangered ecological community (EEC) is an ecological community listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 as being at risk of extinction unless threats affecting these areas are managed and reduced. What is Lowland Grassy Woodland? Lowland Grassy Woodland is an open forest or woodland often with a layer of scattered small trees, an open shrub layer and a mostly continuous grassy ground layer. Some examples may reach a height of 40 m, but many regrowth stands may only be 10 m tall. It is associated with rainshadow areas of the south coast and hinterland of New South Wales which receive less rainfall than the more elevated surrounding areas. It typically occurs in undulating terrain up to 500 m elevation on granitic substrates (e.g. adamellites, granites, granodiorites, gabbros, etc.) but may also occur on locally steep sites and on acid volcanic, alluvial and fine-grained sedimentary substrates. -

The grassy woodlands were especially favoured by the early settlers as they provided good quality grazing without having to remove trees. Unfortunately, most of those high quality forage plants have long gone. Also, being on relatively fertile land and having low numbers of trees to clear, the grassy woodlands were easily converted into crop land.
