  • El Género Prosopis, Valioso Recurso Forestal De Las Zonas Áridas Y Semiáridas De América, Asia Y Africa
    EL GÉNERO PROSOPIS, VALIOSO RECURSO FORESTAL DE LAS ZONAS ÁRIDAS Y SEMIÁRIDAS DE AMÉRICA, ASIA Y AFRICA. Santiago Barros. Ingeniero Forestal. Instituto Forestal, Chile. [email protected] RESUMEN El género Prosopis, familia Leguminosae o Fabaceae, subfamilia Mimosoideae, está presente en forma natural en las zonas áridas y semiáridas de África, América y Asia. Consta de 44 especies, arbustivas y arbóreas, que taxonómicamente han sido divididas en 5 secciones. Tres especies son nativas de Asia, una de África y las restantes cuarenta de América, principalmente Sudamérica. Se las conoce con diferentes nombre vernáculos locales; en América, algarrobo, mezquite, Mesquite, Screwbean. Son especies multipropósito, la mayoría espinosas, alrededor de la mitad de ellas superan los 7 m de altura y varias llegan a 15 y 20 m de altura. Son resistentes a extremas condiciones de sitio; sequía, calor, salinidad en el suelo, y todas ellas son fijadoras de nitrógeno. Sus principales productos son combustible, en forma de leña y carbón de muy buena calidad, y forraje, por medio de su follaje y brotes tiernos y principalmente sus frutos. Según la especie se puede obtener madera para estructuras e incluso para aserrío, de gran calidad para muebles, parqué y otros usos, alimento humano en algunos casos, tinturas, curtientes, gomas, fibras y productos medicinales. Estas características hacen de estas especies un recurso de mucho interés para zonas áridas y semiáridas, razón por la que se las ha introducido mediante plantaciones fuera de sus regiones de distribución natural. Especies como Prosopis juliflora y P. pallida, de América han sido introducidas en el NE de Brasil, en diversos países de África y Asia, y en Australia.

  • Methods – UFORE Species Selection
    Methods Species Selector Application Tools for assessing and managing Community Forests Written by: David J. Nowak USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station 5 Moon Library, SUNY-ESF, Syracuse, NY 13210 A cooperative initiative between: For more information, please visit http://www.itreetools.org Species Selector Application Species Selector Application Introduction To optimize the environmental benefits of trees, an appropriate list of potential tree species needs to be identified based on the desired environmental effects. To help determine the most appropriate tree species for various urban forest functions, a database of 1,585 tree species (see Appendix A) was developed by the USDA Forest Service in cooperation with Horticopia, Inc (2007). Information from this database can be used to select tree species that provide desired functional benefits. This information, in conjunction with local knowledge on species and site characteristics, can be used to select tree species that increase urban forest benefits, but also provide for long-tree life with minimal maintenance. Purpose of Species Selection Program The purpose of the species selection program is to provide a relative rating of each tree species at maturity for the following tree functions, based on a user’s input of the importance of each function (0-10 scale): • Air pollution removal • Air temperature reduction • Ultraviolet radiation reduction • Carbon storage • Pollen allergenicity • Building energy conservation • Wind reduction • Stream flow reduction This program is designed to aid users in selecting proper species given the tree functions they desire. Methods Tree Information Information about the plant dimensions, and physical leaf characteristics (e.g., leaf size, type, and shape) of 5,380 trees, shrubs, cactus and palms were derived from the Horticopia database (www.horticopia.com).

    National Forests in Alabama June 2012 Environmental Assessment Enhanced Invasive Plant Control National Forests in Alabama Bibb, Calhoun, Chilton, Clay, Cleburne, Covington, Dallas, Escambia, Franklin, Hale, Lawrence, Macon, Perry, Talladega, Tuscaloosa, and Winston Counties, Alabama For Information Contact: Ryan Shurette Supervisor’s Office 2946 Chestnut St Montgomery, AL 36107 334.241.8143 Bicolor lespedeza (Lespedeza bicolor) infestation on the Talladega District. Bicolor displaces native herbaceous vegetation and can alter the fire regime in a stand, due in part to the properties of its leaf litter. This species currently threatens federally-endangered Red-cockaded woodpecker habitat on the NFsAL and is proving to be very difficult to eradicate. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, and marital or family status. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of program information (Braille, large print, audio tape, etc.) should contact the USDA's Target Center at 202-720-2600 (voice and TDD). To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, Room 326-W, Whitten Building, 1400 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call 202-720-5964 (voice or TDD). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. ii Summary All six Ranger Districts of the National Forests in Alabama (NFsAL) have individual district decisions in place to treat Non-native Invasive Plant Species (NNIPS) infestations. The current decisions cover a variety of control methods, including mechanical, hand-pulling, and some herbicide treatments.

  • Abstract Survey of Invasive, Exotic And
    ABSTRACT SURVEY OF INVASIVE, EXOTIC AND NOXIOUS FLORA FOR U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE AT KENAI NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, KENAI PENINSULA ALASKA By Caleb R Slemmons The increasing awareness and threat of exotic and invasive flora in Alaska necessitated a preliminary survey of exotic plant distribution for the nearly 2 million acre Kenai National Wildlife Refuge in Southcentral Alaska. As a Biological Technician Intern at the Refuge my primary responsibility was to develop, write and begin implementation of a plan to survey exotic, invasive and noxious flora. In addition, I was also involved in various side projects including dendrochronological dating of cabin logs and miscellaneous projects such as snowmachine trail use monitoring, double-crested cormorant nest counts and burn severity assessment at the 2005 Glacier Creek fire on Tustumena Lake. The following report details and evaluates my experience.
