Its programs, activities and employment practices are available to all people regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, handicap or political affiliation. COMMON FOREST TREES OF NORTH CAROLINA ( R E V I S E D ) A POCKET MANUAL Produced by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consum er Services North Carolina Forest Service Wib L. Owen, State Forester TWENTIETH EDITION 2012 Foreword Trees may be the oldest and largest living things in nature. They are closely associated with our daily lives, yet most of us know little about them and barely can tell one type of tree from another. Sixteen editions of this handy pocket guide have been printed since John Simcox Holmes, North Carolina's first State Forester, put together the first edition in 1922. Holmes' idea was to provide an easy-to-use reference guide to help people of all ages recognize many of our common forest trees on sight. That goal has not changed. Although the book has changed little, some uses of wood and general information about the trees have. Carriages and wagons, for example, aren't often made from Shagbark hickory (or anything else) anymore, and Loblolly pine now is used for making tremendous amounts of pine plywood, something unheard of in the 1920's. Keeping these changes in mind, we revised Common Forest Trees of North Carolina in 1977 and 1995.

  • Douglas-Fir Series Psme
    PSME 1 DOUGLAS-FIR SERIES Pseudotsuga menziesii PSME Patricia A. Martinez Thomas Atzet The latitudinal range of Douglas-fir is the greatest of any commercial conifer of western North America. Nearly pure stands of Douglas-fir continue south from their northern limit on Vancouver Island through western Washington, Oregon, and the Klamath and Coast Ranges of northern California as far south as the Santa Cruz Mountains. Douglas-fir behaves as a drought tolerant pioneer, with moderate tolerance to shade. It is best described as a generalist. Douglas-fir occurs in all series and at elevations ranging from sea level to 5600 feet. Rather than any particular parent material, soil depth, or aspect, Douglas-fir regeneration is associated with recently disturbed ground. Overstory presence of Douglas-fir indicates disturbance, while presence and dominance in the understory can indicate hot, dry conditions characteristic of the Series. Ponderosa pine and incense-cedar are the only major conifers with greater tolerance to drought (Minore 1979). Douglas-fir reproduces well in temperatures near 80 degrees F (Cleary and Waring 1969) and survives in less than two percent of full sunlight for at least several decades (Atzet and Waring 1970). Douglas-fir is not known, however, for its frost tolerance. Except for the isolated occurrences of climax stands of Oregon white oak and ponderosa pine, the Series occurs in the hottest, driest forest environments in southwestern Oregon. Douglas-fir grows under a wide variety of climatic conditions. Douglas-fir typically dominates the overstory in early, mid, and late seral successional stages in Temperate and Mediterranean ecosystems throughout the Pacific Northwest.

  • Chestnut Oak Forest/Woodland
    Classification of the Natural Communities of Massachusetts Terrestrial Communities Descriptions Chestnut Oak Forest/Woodland Community Code: CT1A3A0000 State Rank: S4 Concept: Oak forest of dry ridgetops and upper slopes, dominated by chestnut oak with an often dense understory of scrub oak, heaths, or mountain laurel. Environmental Setting: Chestnut Oak Forests/Woodlands occur as long narrow bands along dry ridges and upper slopes with thin soil over acidic bedrock. They may extend down steep, convex, rocky, often west- or south-facing slopes where soil is shallow and dry. The canopy is closed to partially open (>25% cover). There tends to be deep oak leaf litter with slow decomposition. Often many trees have multiple fire scars and charred bases; fire appears to play a role in maintaining the community occurrences. Chestnut Oak Forests/Woodlands often occur in a mosaic with closed oak or pine - oak forests down slope and more open communities above. Vegetation Description: The canopy of Chestnut Oak Forests/Woodlands is dominated, often completely, by chestnut oak (Quercus montana). Less abundant associates include other oaks (black (Q. velutina), red (Q. rubra), and/or white (Q. alba), and less commonly, scarlet (Q. coccinea)), with red maple (Acer rubrum), and white or pitch pines (Pinus strobus, P. rigida). The subcanopy layer is sparse and consists of canopy species, black birch (Betula lenta), and sassafras (Sassafras albidum). Tall shrubs are lacking or the shrub layer may have scattered tree saplings, mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia), striped maple (Acer pensylvanicum), American chestnut (Castanea dentata), and witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana). Short shrubs are dense in patches dominated by black huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata) and lowbush blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium and V.

  • Adapting a Welsh Terminology Tool to Develop a Cornish Dictionary
    Proceedings of the 1st Joint SLTU and CCURL Workshop (SLTU-CCURL 2020), pages 235–239 Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC 2020), Marseille, 11–16 May 2020 c European Language Resources Association (ELRA), licensed under CC-BY-NC Adapting a Welsh Terminology Tool to Develop a Cornish Dictionary Delyth Prys Language Technologies Unit, Bangor University Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales {d.prys}@bangor.ac.uk Abstract Cornish and Welsh are closely related Celtic languages and this paper provides a brief description of a recent project to publish an online bilingual English/Cornish dictionary, the Gerlyver Kernewek, based on similar work previously undertaken for Welsh. Both languages are endangered, Cornish critically so, but both can benefit from the use of language technology. Welsh has previous experience of using language technologies for language revitalization, and this is now being used to help the Cornish language create new tools and resources, including lexicographical ones, helping a dispersed team of language specialists and editors, many of them in a voluntary capacity, to work collaboratively online. Details are given of the Maes T dictionary writing and publication platform, originally developed for Welsh, and of some of the adaptations that had to be made to accommodate the specific needs of Cornish, including their use of Middle and Late varieties due to its development as a revived language. Keywords: Cornish, Welsh, lexicography, language revitalization Among the Cornish language community’s core 1. Background requirements was the creation of an up-to-date lexical resource, available in an online format, and easily Welsh and Cornish are two closely related languages belonging to the P-Celtic language group.

  • When the Cornish Person Looks Closely Into the Mirror of the Cornish
    Historic legacies and modern challenges: the Cornish language If the Cornish person looks closely into the mirror of the Cornish language they might find contemporary Cornwall staring right back out at them. For the Cornish language mirrors the doubts and uncertainties confronting Cornwall at the beginning of the second millennium. The language has a proud history, dating back to Cornwall’s first millennium, a time of shadowy and insubstantial Cornish kings and independent kingdoms. Familiar placenames such as Trewassa, Carnglaze, Rescorla, Creegbrase, Bosullow provide everyday reminders of our Celtic and non-English roots. Yet the texts of the language are heavily suffused with English borrowings even from the earliest miracle play cycle of the 1300s. The reality is that Cornwall, since the ninth century, has been to a greater or lesser degree influenced and structured by its powerful neighbour to the east – England. And so has the Cornish language. For example, words such as pont or nant, which retained that form in Cornish’s sister languages Welsh and Breton, changed to pons and nans in Cornish well before the fourteenth century, an early effect of the influence of English. For centuries the language was marginalised and despised, a thing of no worth, low- status gibberish fit only to call the pigs to their food. However, like Cornwall, the language has been patronised and romanticised in more recent times. Since the 1870s Cornwall has been buffeted by a storm of signifiers as the artistic and literary metropolitan gaze settled on what it perceived as a primitive and simple folk whiling their time away in age-old harmony with the environment on the fringes of ‘civilised’ Europe.

  • Juglandaceae (Walnuts)
    A start for archaeological Nutters: some edible nuts for archaeologists. By Dorian Q Fuller 24.10.2007 Institute of Archaeology, University College London A “nut” is an edible hard seed, which occurs as a single seed contained in a tough or fibrous pericarp or endocarp. But there are numerous kinds of “nuts” to do not behave according to this anatomical definition (see “nut-alikes” below). Only some major categories of nuts will be treated here, by taxonomic family, selected due to there ethnographic importance or archaeological visibility. Species lists below are not comprehensive but representative of the continental distribution of useful taxa. Nuts are seasonally abundant (autumn/post-monsoon) and readily storable.

  • Comparative Flowering Ecology of Fraxinus Excelsior, Acer
    Comparative flowering ecology of Fraxinus excelsior, Acer platanoides, Acer pseudoplatanus and Tilia cordata in the canopy of Leipzig’s floodplain forest Der Fakultät für Biowissenschaften, Pharmazie und Psychologie der Universität Leipzig eingereichte D I S S E R T A T I O N zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.) vorgelegt von Diplom Biologe Ophir Tal geboren am 24.7.1972 in Tel Aviv, Israel Leipzig, den 22.6.06. 1 To Shira 3 Abstract How do gender separation and the transition to wind pollination happen in temperate trees? What does the reproductive ecology in the crowns of temperate forest trees look like? These connected questions intrigued researchers before and since Darwin but it is only in the last years that a direct study of the latter question has been enabled. A research crane was used to study the flowering ecology of Fraxinus excelsior, Acer platanoides, Acer pseudoplatanus and Tilia cordata in Leipzig’s floodplain forest. These species originate from hermaphrodite insect pollinated plant families and exhibit different grades of gender separation and different stages between insect and wind pollination. As they are typical elements of temperate deciduous forests, an ecological comparison of their flowering ecology may shed new light on the evolution of gender separation and wind pollination in this habitat. Using the crane, gender distribution, flowering phenology in relation to microclimate, pollination levels (including pollen tubes in the styles) and fruit set were studied in ca. 200 trees over 2-4 years. Main results are a new appreciation of the sexual system of Fraxinus excelsior as dioecy, of Tilia cordata as andromonoecy and a detailed description of the intricacies of the heterodichogamous sexual system of Acer pseudoplatanus.
