Forest Structures, Composition, and Distribution on a Pacific Island, with Reference to Ecological Release and Speciation!
Pacific Science (1991), vol. 45, no. 1: 28-49 © 1991 by University of Hawaii Press. All rights reserved Forest Structures, Composition, and Distribution on a Pacific Island, with Reference to Ecological Release and Speciation! YOSHIKAZU SHIMIZU2 AND HIDEO TABATA 3 ABSTRACT: Native forest and scrub of Chichijima, the largest island in the Bonins, were classified into five types based on structural features: Elaeocarpus Ardisia mesic forest, 13-16 m high, dominated by Elaeocarpus photiniaefolius and Ardisia sieboldii; Pinus-Schima mesic forest, 12-16 m high, consisting of Schima mertensiana and an introduced pine , Pinus lutchuensis; Rhaphiolepis Livistonia dry forest, 2-6 m high, mainly occupied by Rhaphiolepis indica v. integerrima; Distylium-Schima dry forest, 3-8 m high, dominated by Distylium lepidotum and Schima mertensiana; and Distylium-Pouteria dry scrub, 0.3 1.5 m high, mainly composed of Distylium lepidotum. A vegetation map based on this classification was developed. Species composition and structural features of each type were analyzed in terms of habitat condition and mechanisms of regeneration. A group of species such as Pouteria obovata, Syzgygium buxifo lium, Hibiscus glaber, Rhaphiolepis indica v. integerrima, and Pandanus boninen sis, all with different growth forms from large trees to stunted shrubs, was subdominant in all vegetation types. Schima mertensiana , an endemic pioneer tree, occurred in both secondary forests and climax forests as a dominant canopy species and may be an indication of "ecological release," a characteristic of oceanic islands with poor floras and little competitive pressure. Some taxonomic groups (Callicarpa, Symplocos, Pittosporum, etc.) have speciated in the under story of Distylium-Schima dry forest and Distylium-Pouteria dry scrub.

Plant and Landscape Guide Rancho Santa Fe, California, Is Considered to Be in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone Because of Its Unique Characteristics
Plant and Landscape Guide Rancho Santa Fe, California, is considered to be in a very high fire hazard severity zone because of its unique characteristics. It is considered a Wildland Urban Interface area because of the proximity of the natural chaparral vegetation to developed areas, often immediately abutting structures. Additionally, warm coastal weather, Santa Ana winds, mountainous terrain, and steep slopes contribute to the very high fire hazard severity zone designation. DistrictIn an effort (RSFFPD) to protect does homes not allow from certain a future types devastating of trees, Wildlandplants, or fire shrubs such to as be the ones experienced in 2003 and 2007, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection planted within certain distances of structures. This booklet contains valuable educateinformation the publicpertaining on RSFFPD’s to both desirable ordinances and regarding undesirable landscaping trees, shrubs, so they can ground covers, vines, roadway clearances, and palm trees. The goal is to Lady Bank’s Rose increase the the chances of their home surviving a wildfire. Please feel free to contactPlease Note: the Fire District if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. 1. THIS IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST. This booklet is intended to simply guide the public on what types of trees and shrubs are acceptable within the Fire District. Other trees and shrubs not listed 2. may also be acceptable upon approval by the RSFFPD.

Plant Pathology Circular No. 206 Dept. Agric. & Consumer Serv. November 1979 Division of Plant Industry ENTOMOSPORIUM LEAF SPOT OF PHOTINIA R. C. Lambe and W. H. Ridings Introduction. Photinia, a shrub in the family Rosaceae, is widely grown in nurseries in the southern United States. Several species, Photinia serrulata Lindl., P. glabra (Thunb.) Maxim., and a hybrid, P. X fraseri Dress are grown for landscaping. Photinia X fraseri, is especially desirable because of its bright red, immature foliage and is the most popular species grown. All of these ornamentals are susceptible to leaf spotting caused by the fungus Entomosporium maculatum Lev., which has the perfect stage Fabraea maculata (Lev.) Atk. (=Diplocarpon maculatum (Atk. Jorstad) (10)). Entomosporium leaf spot of Photinia was first reported in Louisiana in 1957 (6) and has since appeared in Florida (1) and Virginia. Other ornamentals reported to be hosts include Juneberry (Amelanchier spp.), flowering quince (Chaenomeles spp.), loquat (Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl.), firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea Roem. var. formosana), Indian hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis indica Lindl.), and mountain ash (Sorbus sitchensis Roem.) (1, 5, 7, 9). Symptoms. Leaf spots on Photinia are at first minute, slightly raised dots on either surface of the leaf. Older spots have a slightly depressed center with raised margins. On the juvenile red-colored foliage of P. X fraseri, the young minute leaf spots (more or less circular) are a darker red than the surrounding healthy tissue, whereas older necrotic spots (up to 3-4 mm in diameter) have ashen grey centers and dark-purple margins surrounded by an indefinite lighter purplish halo. The centers of the necrotic spots on both surfaces are dotted with minute black specks, covered by a hyaline membrane which are the spore structures (acervuli) of the fungus (Fig.
