Cytospora Canker
report on RPD No. 604 PLANT April 1996 DEPARTMENT OF CROP SCIENCES DISEASE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN CYTOSPORA OR LEUCOSTOMA CANKER OF SPRUCE Cytospora or Leucostoma canker, the most common and damaging disease of spruce, is caused by the fungus Leucocytospora kunzei, synonym Cytospora kunzei (teleomorph or sexual state Leucostoma kunzei, synonym Valsa kunzei). This canker occurs on several conifers from New England to the western United States. Colo- rado or Colorado blue (Picea pungens) and Norway spruce (Picea abies), used for ornament and in wind- breaks, are the species most commonly affected in Illinois. The disease has reached epidemic proportions on Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) and Douglas- fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) in the eastern Rocky Mountains due to a succession of dry years in the area. Other trees reported as susceptible to the disease are given in Table 1. Spruce trees less than 10 to 15 years old usually do not have Cytospora canker. In landscape nurseries, how- ever, small branches of young Colorado blue and oc- casionally white spruces may be killed. Three varieties of Leucostoma kunzei are recognized by some spec- ialists: var. piceae on spruces, var. superficialis on pines, and var. kunzei on other conifers. Figure 1. Colorado spruce affected by Cytospora Dead and dying branches call attention to Cytospora or canker. Leucostoma canker with older branches more suscep- tible than young ones. The fungus kills areas of bark, usually at the bases of small twigs and branches, creating elliptical to diamond-shaped lesions. If the lesions enlarge faster than the stem and girdle it, the portion beyond the canker also dies. -
Balkan Vegetation
Plant Formations in the Balkan BioProvince Peter Martin Rhind Balkan Mixed Deciduous Forest These forests vary enormously but usually include a variety of oak species such as Quercus cerris, Q. frainetto, Q. robur and Q. sessiliflora, and other broadleaved species like Acer campestris, Carpinus betulus, Castanea sative, Juglans regia, Ostrya carpinifolia and Tilia tomentosa. Balkan Montane Forest Above about 1000 m beech Fagus sylvatica forests often predominate, but beyond 1500 m up to about 1800 m various conifer communities form the main forest types. However, in some cases conifer and beech communities merge and both reach the tree line. The most important associates of beech include Acer platanoides, Betula verrucosa, Corylus colurna, Picea abies, Pyrus aucuparia and Ulmus scabra, while the shrub layer often consists of Alnus viridis, Euonymous latifolius, Pinus montana and Ruscus hypoglossum. The ground layer is not usually well developed and many of the herbaceous species are of central European distribution including Arabis turrita, Asperula muscosa, Cardamine bulbifera, Limodorum abortivum, Orthilia seconda and Saxifraga rotundifolia. Of the conifer forests, Pinus nigra (black pine) often forms the dominant species particularly in Bulgaria, Serbia and in the Rhodope massif. Associated trees may include Taxus buccata and the endemic Abies bovisii-regis (Macedonian fir), while the shrub layer typically includes Daphne blagayana, Erica carnea and the endemic Bruckenthalia spiculifolia (Ericaceae). In some areas there is a conifer forest above the black pine zone from about 1300 m to 2400 m in which the endemic Pinus heldreichii (Bosnian pine) predominates. It is often rather open possibly as a consequence of repeated fires. -

Carnivorous Plant Newsletter V44 N4 December 2015
Technical Refereed Contribution Soil pH values at sites of terrestrial carnivorous plants in south-west Europe Lubomír Adamec • Institute of Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences • Dukelská 135 • CZ-379 82 Trˇebonˇ • Czech Republic • [email protected] Keywords: Soil water pH, neutral soils, Pinguicula spp., Drosera intermedia, Drosophyllum lusitanicum. Abstract: Although the majority of terrestrial carnivorous plants grow in acidic soils at a pH of 3.5-5.5, there are many dozens of carnivorous species, mostly mountainous or rocky Pinguicula species, which grow preferen- tially or strictly in neutral or slightly alkaline soils at pHs between 7-8. Knowledge of an optimum soil pH value and an amplitude of this factor may be important not only for understanding the ecology of various species and their conservation, but also for successfully growing them. I report soil pH values at microsites of 15 terrestrial carnivorous plant species or subspecies in SW Europe. Introduction The majority of terrestrial carnivorous plants grow in wetlands such as peat bogs, fens, wet meadows, or wet clayish sands. The soils have usually low available mineral nutrient content (N, P, K, Ca, Mg), are hypoxic or anoxic and usually acidic (Juniper et al. 1989; Adamec 1997; Rice 2006). Unlike mineral nutritional character- istics of these soils, which have commonly been studied and related to carnivorous plant growth in the field or greenhouse experiments and which have also been published (for the review see Adamec 1997), relatively very little is known about the relationship between soil pH and growth of terrestrial carnivorous plants. Although some limited knowledge of soil pH at habitats of carnivorous plants or in typical substrates exist among botanists and growers (e.g., Roberts & Oosting 1958; Aldenius et al. -

Box 98615-538, I.R. Iran. 2 Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024, USA. ABSTRACT. 231 species of the family Vespidae (Hymenoptera, Vespoidea) of Iran, in 55 genera belonging to 4 subfamilies Eumeninae (45 genera, 184 species), Masarinae (5 genera, 24 species), Polistinae (2 genera, 17 species) and Vespinae (3 genera, 6 species) are listed. An overall assessment of the distribution pattern of the vespid species in Iran indicates a complex fauna of different biogeographic regions. 111 species are found in both Eastern and Western Palaearctic regions, while 67 species were found only in the Eastern Palaearctic region. Few species (14 species – 6.1%) of various genera are known as elements of central and western Asian area and their area of distribution is not known in Europe (West Palaearctic) and in the Far East. The species that were found both in the Oriental and Afrotropical Regions comprises 11.7 and 15.6% the Iranian vespid fauna, respectively. Many species (48, 20.8%) are exclusively recorded from Iran and as yet there is no record of Received: these species from other countries. The highest percentage of the vespid 01 January, 2020 species are recorded from Sistan-o Baluchestan (42 species, 18.2%), Alborz (42 Accepted: species, 18.2%), Fars (39 species, 16.9%) and Tehran provinces (38 Species 17 January, 2020 16.5%), representing the fauna of the Southeastern, North- and South Central Published: of the country. -
