  • Trees and Shrubs: Drought, Heat, Cold Tolerant Species
    Trees and Shrubs: Drought, Heat, Cold Tolerant Species This list of trees and shrubs is intended to provide guidance for choosing a tree or shrub which will grow in Las Vegas, New Mexico yards. This list of species is for residential yards, not City Parks which are regularly watered during the summer. Purpose. Before selecting a tree, think about the purposes of the tree you are going to plant: do you want it for shade, privacy screen, windbreak, beauty, wildlife value? Due to unpredictable late frosts, fruit producing trees are not recommended as a food source. For more information about what to look for buying a tree, watering, correct planting, watering, and pruning methods, read the Tree Owner’s Manual. A tree is an investment in both time and money. You can find the manual at http://na.fs.fed.us/pubs/uf/tom_natl/tree_owners_manual_web_res.pdf Site selection. Before buying a tree, determine where you are going to plant it, based on the purpose of the tree and these additional factors. Deciduous trees lose their leaves in the winter; if you plant them on the south and west side of your home, they will help with cooling during the summer. Because they lose their leaves, they allow winter sun to help warm your house. Reduce winds by planting trees and shrubs on the windy side of your home. Do not plant a tall tree near or under electric lines (height and width are listed in the descriptions). PNM recommends that a tree which is 25 feet tall at maturity be at least 15 feet from a power line; a 30 foot tall tree should be at least 30 feet away from a power line.

Hernández, Mario Sousa and Helga Ochoterena Herbario Nacional de México, Departamento de Botánica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Apartado postal 70- 233, 04510 México D. F., Mexico. [email protected] Abstract. Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants with a total height of at least 5 m (without ascending leaves or inflorescences), and with one or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. We continue our compilation of an updated list of all native Mexican tree species with the dicotyledonous families Asteraceae (36 species, 39% endemic), Leguminosae with its 3 subfamilies (449 species, 41% endemic), and Rubiaceae (134 species, 24% endemic). The tallest tree species reach 20 m in the Asteraceae, 70 m in the Leguminosae, and also 70 m in the Rubiaceae. The species-richest genus is Lonchocarpus with 67 tree species in Mexico. Three legume genera are endemic to Mexico (Conzattia, Hesperothamnus, and Heteroflorum). The appendix lists all species, including their original publication, references of taxonomic revisions, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum height in Mexico, and endemism status. Key words: biodiversity, flora, tree definition. Resumen. Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se definen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura total de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o inflorescencias ascendentes) y con uno o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm.

  • Arizona Climate Zones and Their Application to Growing Plants Ursula Schuch
    az1673 July 2015 Arizona Climate Zones and their Application to Growing Plants Ursula Schuch Plants grow best in climates to which they are most adapted. Knowing the climate zone of a location is one of the factors to successfully cultivate plants outdoors. While soil, water, and light are critical, low or high temperatures can limit plant growth in a certain location. Arizona is a large state spanning 335 miles east to west and 390 miles north to south with diverse climate zones. The climate is influenced by elevation which determines the high and low temperatures, and by rainfall which varies across the state. Rainfall ranges from 3 inches annually in Yuma, the southwestern corner of Arizona, to more than 30 inches in the mountain areas. Arizona’s climate is classified as arid or semi-arid because evapotranspiration, the combined loss of water from soil and plants in a location, is greater than the amount of rainfall the area receives. How should climate zones be used by landscapers and gardeners? Climate zones are useful to understand the temperature limitations of a location and select appropriate plants for long-term successful plant performance. Microclimates and unseasonal low temperatures, such as an early freeze in fall before plants have hardened off or a late freeze in spring after plant growth or flowering has started, can cause damage Fig. 1. Physiographic Provinces of Arizona. Photo credit: Arizona Department of Water Resources. although the minimum annual temperatures have not been exceeded. For plants to thrive continually in a location, other factors such as soil quality, water and fertilizer availability, light, wind, and exposure to extreme conditions will affect Central Highlands, is characterized by rugged mountains, and plant growth and health.

GENERAL INFORMATION A. Methodology used to complete the review: On April 9, 2010, the Service published a notice in the Federal Register announcing the 5-year review of Cook’s holly (Ilex cookii) and requested new information concerning the biology and status of the species (75 FR 18232). A 60-day comment period was opened. No comment letters were received from the public during this period. This 5-year review was finalized by a Service biologist and summarizes the information that the Service has gathered in the Cook’s holly file since the plant was listed on June 16, 1987. The sources of information used for this review included the original listing rule for the species, the recovery plan for Cook’s holly, and information provided by the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus (UPRM). Under cooperative agreement with the Service, professors from UPRM, Dr. Duane A. Kolterman and Dr. Jesús D. Chinea, provided to the Service a draft 5-year review compiling all available information on Cook’s holly. They conducted literature research on the species, consulted with other specialists, and examined herbarium data from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (MAPR), Río Piedras Botanical Garden (UPR), University of Puerto Rico at Río Piedras (UPRRP), Department of Natural and Environmental Resources of Puerto Rico (SJ), New York Botanical Garden (NY), US National Herbarium (US), and University of Illinois (ILL).

    PROGRAMMATIC BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT AND PROGRAMMTIC BIOLOGICAL OPINION FOR THE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE’S ARKANSAS HEALTHY FOREST RESERVE PROGRAM Written by U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Arkansas Ecological Services Field Office and Natural Resources Conservation Service Arkansas State Office August 25, 2006 Introduction This represents the United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s (Service) programmatic biological opinion (PBO) regarding the Healthy Forest Reserve Program (HFRP) in Arkansas. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Service have jointly agreed to a streamlined consultation process whereby a biological assessment and biological opinion are jointly developed. Therefore, this document serves as the NRCS’ biological assessment and the Service’s biological opinion of the proposed HFRP and potential impacts to the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Geocarpon minimum (no common name), pondberry (Lindera melissifolia), pink mucket (Lampsilis abrupta), winged mapleleaf (Quadrula fragosa), and Ouachita rock-pocketbook (Arkansia wheeleri) from activities associated with this program. The purpose of this PBA/PBO is to expedite consultations on proposed HFRP activities. This consultation document has been prepared pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended (Act) (16 United States Code [U.S.C.] 1531 et seq.) and 50 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] §402 of our interagency regulations governing section 7 of the ESA. Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA requires federal agencies to consult with the Service to ensure that any action authorized, funded, or carried out is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any federally listed species nor destroy or adversely modify critical habitat.

Available at: http://www..fcnanet.org/proceedings/2001/khadduri.pdf Abstract Hot water and sulfuric acid soaks are traditional treatments for seeds of many temperate woody legumes, including locusts. However, these scarification techniques often produce inconsistent germination. Percussion scarification, where seeds are repeatedly propelled against a hard surface, was compared with hot water scarification to evaluate treatment efficacy for New Mexico locust (Robinia neomexicana) and black locust (R psendoacacia) seeds. In the hot water treatment, seeds were placed in a 98 OCwater bath, which was immediately removed from the heat source. For percussion scarification, seeds were placed in a soil sample tin and agtated in a paint shaker for 1,2,3,4,5, or 10 minutes.
