The Dendroflora in the Jewish Cemetery THE DENDROFLORA (TREES FUND) IN THE JEWISH CEMETERY The area of the Jewish cemetery has a plush and diversified dendroflora represented by many deciduous trees, coniferous trees and undergrowth. The trees are mainly concentrated along the sides of the pathways. The cemetery trees also forms a physical fence encircling the perimeter of the cemetery. Presently, the elaboration of a project is in progress with the aim to study the physical condition of the trees and plants inside the Jewish cemetery. Engaged in the realization of the project are professors of entomology and phytopathology of the Belgrade Faculty of Forestry. The task of this diploma paper is a survey of the Jewish Cemetery dendroflora. Exemplary types have been collected, established and described. It can be said of this area that it possesses an abundant dendrofund of exquisite esthetic value. During the process of on-site data gathering and research no evidence of any kind of disease was found except for a number of individual cases of tree desiccation. The conclusion of the paper should propose ways of further plant development within the Jewish cemetery or at least ways to preserve its current state.

Species The table shows the life forms, the incidence and vitality of the itemized types of trees and shrubs existing inside the Jewish cemetery. 32 different types of trees and shrubs have been recorded within the Jewish cemetery of which 7 are coniferous and 25 deciduous. Out of this number there are 18 types of trees, 9 types of shrubs, 2 types of transitory forms of shrubs-undergrowth and 3 types of climbers. Common types present: Aesculus hippocastanum, Buxus sempervirens, Broussonetia papyrifera, Cornus sanguinea, Gleditsia triacanthos, Hedera helix, Juniperus horizontalis, Juniperus chinensis, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Robinia pseudoacacia, Rosa silvestris, Rosa domestica, Thuja orientalis. Rare types in the cemetery: Celtis occidentalis, Cedrus atlantica, Chamaecyparis pisifera CV ˝squarosa˝, Cotoneaster horizontalis, Picea pungens, Prunus avium, Prunus domestica, Pseudotsuga menziesii. The state of tree vitality at the Jewish cemetery could be characterized as sound except for the presence of individual cases of withering trees caused by factors of phytopathological nature. CONCLUSION The Jewish cemetery has for nearly three centuries been the resting ground of Zemun Jews and Jews from neighboring towns and villages and is one of the oldest cemeteries in the territory of Belgrade. A large part of it is covered with vegetation and it is safe to say that its flora is abundant. Numerous types of trees adorn the cemetery and the shrubbery is perfectly incorporated with the flowerbeds and lawns. All this indicates that the dendrofund has an exceptional esthetic value. There are 18 types of trees, 9 types of shrubs, 2 types of shrubs- undergrowth and 3 types of climbers. The majority of the plants are of sound health. The exception is a number of individual cases of withered trees, mainly coniferous trees which are in various staged of desiccation. It is essential that these should be replaced with nursery plants of the same type of tree or similar. The absence of trees representative of the area ecology has been noted. These types of trees should also be planted. Of unfamiliar/exotic types the following should be taken into consideration: Catalpa bignonioides, Magnolia acuminate, Magnolia grandiflora, Magnolia liliflora, Liriodendron tulipifera, Paulownia tomentosa, Camellia japonica… The upkeep and preservation of the cemetery vegetation is done by the Zemun Jewish Community. The task of the community should be to further the process of plantation or at least to preserve the already existing dendrofund. REMARK The tree fund of the Jewish Cemetery has been elaborated by Dragica Miladinovic, student of the Belgrade Faculty of Forestry as part of her diploma paper entitled ”Dendroflora of the Zemun cemetery”.

The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

  • APPROVED PLANT LIST Midtown Alliance Tree Well Adoption Program
    APPROVED PLANT LIST Midtown Alliance Tree Well Adoption Program Midtown Alliance launched the Tree Well Adoption program with the primary goal of enriching the experience of Midtown’s workers and residents while encouraging sustainability through the use of low-water, urban tolerant plant species. This list of plants was created to aid individuals and organizations in selecting plant material to plant in their adopted tree wells. This plant list is intended to encourage individual character in the tree wells, rather than restrict creativity in the selection of plants. The plants on the approved list were selected based on the following criteria: • Perennial. All plants listed are perennial, meaning they last for two or more growing seasons. Once established, these plants will require less water to maintain than annuals. • Heat tolerant. Plants in tree wells are exposed to high temperatures caused by vehicles and heat reflected from surrounding buildings, asphalt, and other urban surfaces. They must also be tolerant to high daytime temperatures, typical of Atlanta’s summer months, and cold hardy in the winter months. Atlanta is located in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7b/8a. • Water wise. Urban tree wells are surrounded by impervious surfaces and thus, are highly susceptible to periods of drought. Suitable plants must be able to survive periods of low rainfall. • Pollution tolerant. Vehicle exhaust may leave deposits and pollutants on plant foliage, which can kill sensitive plants. • Encourage wildlife. Flowering plants attract insects such as butterflies while others provide food sources for birds and other wildlife. • Grown locally. Many of the plants listed are native to the Atlanta area, and all can be found at local nurseries.

The mpI ortance of Geographic and Biological Variables in Predicting the Naturalization of Non-Native Woody Plants in the Upper Midwest Abstract The es lection, introduction, and cultivation of non-native woody plants beyond their native ranges can have great benefits, but also unintended consequences. Among these consequences is the tendency for some species to naturalize and become invasive pests in new environments to which they were introduced. In lieu of lengthy and costly field trials, risk-assessment models can be used to predict the likelihood of naturalization.

  • Non-Native Trees and Large Shrubs for the Washington, D.C. Area
    Green Spring Gardens 4603 Green Spring Rd ● Alexandria ● VA 22312 Phone: 703-642-5173 ● TTY: 703-803-3354 www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/greenspring NON - NATIVE TREES AND LARGE SHRUBS ­ FOR THE WASHINGTON, D.C. AREA ­ Non-native trees are some of the most beloved plants in the landscape due to their beauty. In addition, these trees are grown for the shade, screening, structure, and landscape benefits they provide. Deciduous trees, whose leaves die and fall off in the autumn, are valuable additions to landscapes because of their changing interest throughout the year. Evergreen trees are valued for their year-round beauty and shelter for wildlife. Evergreens are often grouped into two categories, broadleaf evergreens and conifers. Broadleaf evergreens have broad, flat leaves. They also may have showy flowers, such as Camellia oleifera (a large shrub), or colorful fruits, such as Nellie R. Stevens holly. Coniferous evergreens either have needle-like foliage, such as the lacebark pine, or scale-like foliage, such as the green giant arborvitae. Conifers do not have true flowers or fruits but bear cones. Though most conifers are evergreen, exceptions exist. Dawn redwood, for example, loses its needles each fall. The following are useful definitions: Cultivar (cv.) - a cultivated variety designated by single quotes, such as ‘Autumn Gold’. A variety (var.) or subspecies (subsp.), in contrast, is found in nature and is a subdivision of a species (a variety of Cedar of Lebanon is listed). Full Shade - the amount of light under a dense deciduous tree canopy or beneath evergreens. Full Sun - at least 6 hours of sun daily.

  • Morphology and Morphogenesis of the Seed Cones of the Cupressaceae - Part II Cupressoideae
    1 2 Bull. CCP 4 (2): 51-78. (10.2015) A. Jagel & V.M. Dörken Morphology and morphogenesis of the seed cones of the Cupressaceae - part II Cupressoideae Summary The cone morphology of the Cupressoideae genera Calocedrus, Thuja, Thujopsis, Chamaecyparis, Fokienia, Platycladus, Microbiota, Tetraclinis, Cupressus and Juniperus are presented in young stages, at pollination time as well as at maturity. Typical cone diagrams were drawn for each genus. In contrast to the taxodiaceous Cupressaceae, in Cupressoideae outgrowths of the seed-scale do not exist; the seed scale is completely reduced to the ovules, inserted in the axil of the cone scale. The cone scale represents the bract scale and is not a bract- /seed scale complex as is often postulated. Especially within the strongly derived groups of the Cupressoideae an increased number of ovules and the appearance of more than one row of ovules occurs. The ovules in a row develop centripetally. Each row represents one of ascending accessory shoots. Within a cone the ovules develop from proximal to distal. Within the Cupressoideae a distinct tendency can be observed shifting the fertile zone in distal parts of the cone by reducing sterile elements. In some of the most derived taxa the ovules are no longer (only) inserted axillary, but (additionally) terminal at the end of the cone axis or they alternate to the terminal cone scales (Microbiota, Tetraclinis, Juniperus). Such non-axillary ovules could be regarded as derived from axillary ones (Microbiota) or they develop directly from the apical meristem and represent elements of a terminal short-shoot (Tetraclinis, Juniperus).

  • Full of Beans: a Study on the Alignment of Two Flowering Plants Classification Systems
    Full of beans: a study on the alignment of two flowering plants classification systems Yi-Yun Cheng and Bertram Ludäscher School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA {yiyunyc2,ludaesch}@illinois.edu Abstract. Advancements in technologies such as DNA analysis have given rise to new ways in organizing organisms in biodiversity classification systems. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of aligning two classification systems for flowering plants using a logic-based, Region Connection Calculus (RCC-5) ap- proach. The older “Cronquist system” (1981) classifies plants using their mor- phological features, while the more recent Angiosperm Phylogeny Group IV (APG IV) (2016) system classifies based on many new methods including ge- nome-level analysis. In our approach, we align pairwise concepts X and Y from two taxonomies using five basic set relations: congruence (X=Y), inclusion (X>Y), inverse inclusion (X<Y), overlap (X><Y), and disjointness (X!Y). With some of the RCC-5 relationships among the Fabaceae family (beans family) and the Sapindaceae family (maple family) uncertain, we anticipate that the merging of the two classification systems will lead to numerous merged solutions, so- called possible worlds. Our research demonstrates how logic-based alignment with ambiguities can lead to multiple merged solutions, which would not have been feasible when aligning taxonomies, classifications, or other knowledge or- ganization systems (KOS) manually. We believe that this work can introduce a novel approach for aligning KOS, where merged possible worlds can serve as a minimum viable product for engaging domain experts in the loop. Keywords: taxonomy alignment, KOS alignment, interoperability 1 Introduction With the advent of large-scale technologies and datasets, it has become increasingly difficult to organize information using a stable unitary classification scheme over time.
