European Water Chestnut Trapa Natans European water chestnut Other common names: Water caltrop, buffalo USDA symbol: TRNA Trapa natans nut, bat nut, devil pod, ling nut, singhara ODA rating: A Introduction: European water chestnut is native to Eurasia, being found in paleotropical and warm temperate regions. Plants were first introduced to North America around 1874 and were known to be cultured in 1877 in the botanical garden of Asa Gray, an eminent botanist at Harvard University. Distribution in Oregon: No sites have been identified in Oregon at this time. Description: Water chestnut is an annual aquatic plant forming dense mats on the surfaces of lakes, ponds and slow moving waters. The emerged leaves are diamond-shaped with toothed edges, arranged on inflated, spongy stalks and occur in clusters up to 20 inches across. Submersed leaves are long and narrow are often replaced with green feather-like structures. Flowers are small, solitary, white to light purple. Fruit is a large swollen nut with two to four sharp spines. Impacts: The species is an aggressive competitor in shallow water bodies where soft, muddy rooting substrates are available. In the Northeast it forms nearly impenetrable mats across wide areas of water creating barriers to recreationalists. The spiked nuts drift to shore where their sharp spines may hurt bare feet. Monocultures severely limit light penetration and water mixing, creating conditions of reduced oxygen levels that may increase the potential for fish kills. It is of little value to waterfowl. Biological controls: Biological control agents are not used on "A" listed weeds in Oregon. This weed is targeted for eradication whenever found.

  • Chestnut Growers' Guide to Site Selection and Environmental Stress
    This idyllic orchard has benefited from good soil and irrigation. Photo by Tom Saielli Chestnut Growers’ Guide to Site Selection and Environmental Stress By Elsa Youngsteadt American chestnuts are tough, efficient trees that can reward their growers with several feet of growth per year. They’ll survive and even thrive under a range of conditions, but there are a few deal breakers that guarantee sickly, slow-growing trees. This guide, intended for backyard and small-orchard growers, will help you avoid these fatal mistakes and choose planting sites that will support strong, healthy trees. You’ll know you’ve done well when your chestnuts are still thriving a few years after planting. By then, they’ll be strong enough to withstand many stresses, from drought to a caterpillar outbreak, with much less human help. Soil Soil type is the absolute, number-one consideration when deciding where—or whether—to plant American chestnuts. These trees demand well-drained, acidic soil with a sandy to loamy texture. Permanently wet, basic, or clay soils are out of the question. So spend some time getting to know your dirt before launching a chestnut project. Dig it up, roll it between your fingers, and send in a sample for a soil test. Free tests are available through most state extension programs, and anyone can send a sample to the Penn State Agricultural Analytical Services Lab (which TACF uses) for a small fee. More information can be found at http://agsci.psu.edu/aasl/soil-testing. There are several key factors to look for. The two-foot-long taproot on this four- Acidity year-old root system could not have The ideal pH for American chestnut is 5.5, with an acceptable range developed in shallow soils, suggesting from about 4.5 to 6.5.

As a consequence of relying on non-renewable energy sources and reckless encroachment on natural habitats a lot of plant and animal species have become extinct and more and more species are getting endangered. Thus celebrating biodiversity and solidarity for all life forms, from the tiniest one to the most complex eco-systems, has been in the centre of our attention and operational activities. Keywords: durable development, ecology, endangered species. 1. Introduction Within the massive destruction of forests and forest climate, we witness significant changes, Just as the man has passed from the stage of sometimes radical of the environment. For the animal hunter and collector up to animal raiser and farmer, and plants which have survived through a long period the natural vegetation has increasingly been subject of adaptation, a new difficult era starts again.

Sedimentation-induced vegetation spread is a typical process in the succession of lakes endangering these habitats. We aimed to survey the tendencies of vegetation spread of a Hungarian lake using satellite images, and to develop a method to identify the areas of risk. Accordingly, we performed a 33-year long vegetation spread monitoring survey. We used the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) to assess vegetation and open water characteristics of the basins.

  • Primotrapa Gen. Nov., an Extinct Transitional Genus Bridging The
    Li et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2020) 20:150 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-020-01697-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Primotrapa gen. nov., an extinct transitional genus bridging the evolutionary gap between Lythraceae and Trapoideae, from the early Miocene of North China Ya Li1,2* , Yi-Ming Cui2, Carole T. Gee3,4, Xiao-Qing Liang5 and Cheng-Sen Li1* Abstract Background: Although Trapa is a well-defined genus of distinctive freshwater plants with accumulations of extensive morphological and embryological autapomorphies, its phylogenetic relationships have long been unclear. Formerly placed in the monotypic family Trapaceae, Trapa is now recognized as sister to Sonneratia within Lythraceae s.l., although both genera lack morphological synapomorphies. Thus, a split between the two taxa must have occurred in deep evolutionary time, which raises the possibility of finding transitional forms in the fossil record. Results: Here we describe a new genus and species, Primotrapa weichangensis Y. Li et C.-S. Li (Lythraceae s.l.: Trapoideae), based on three-dimensionally preserved floral cups, fruits, and seeds from the early Miocene of Weichang County, Hebei Province, China. Primotrapa is characterized by a shallow, saucer-shaped floral cup, four distally barbellate sepals, four intersepal appendages alternating with the sepals at the rim of cup, a superior to basally inferior ovary, a fusiform or ovoid, one-seeded fruit with a ribbed surface, and a long persistent peduncle. Two fossil species of Hemitrapa are proposed as new combinations of Primotrapa, namely P. alpina (T.SuetZ.-K.Zhou)Y.LietC.-S.Licomb.nov.andP. pomelii (Boulay) Y. Li et C.-S.
