CITIZEN SCIENTIST PROGRAM Southern California Oak Resource Assessment Reference Guide
CITIZEN SCIENTIST PROGRAM Southern California Oak Resource Assessment Reference Guide Forest Health Protection, Region 5 and University of California,1 Riverside Table of Contents New threats to forest health are commonly first diagnosed in urban environments and initially discovered by concerned citizens. Early detection of introduced/exotic pests can assist with mitigating these new threats. The southern oak woodlands of Califor- nia represent crucial habitat for plants and wildlife, improve ecosystem services, and contribute to aesthetics. Observations by citizens can assist with protecting these valuable woodlands. This reference guide was developed to provide an overview of common injury symp- toms from insects and diseases to oaks in southern California. The guide is parti- tioned into feeding guilds and injury types with less emphasis on identifying specific insect and pathogen species. Injury symptoms can assist with identifying the specific problem and level of severity. This guide should be used jointly with the Southern California Citizen Scientist Survey Form.

The Founding Member Trees of the Live Oak Society
Survivors—the Founding Member Trees of the Live Oak Society William Guion www.williamguion.com 831.224.2962 In South Louisiana, the landscape lies flat as cut sugarcane. Here, the sprawling shape of a live oak tree can dominate the view for miles. By the sight of a familiar oak you can tell where you’re going, where you’d been, and how much farther you have to go before you reach your destination. Live oaks are heritage, heirlooms, and history all rolled into one. On the old land maps, oaks marked where one property line ended and another began. They were a point on the horizon to aim the blade of a plow or the nose of a tractor. They mark where back roads cross and provide a shady spot where neighbors can park their pickups, pass a plastic thermos cup of chicory coffee, and discuss the weather. Duels were fought and honor won or lost under their bowed limbs. People picnic under them, get married under them, dance the two-step under them, and finally when the music ends, are laid to rest alongside their massive roots. In April 1934, Dr. Edwin Lewis Stephens, the first president of the Southwestern Louisiana Institute (now University of Louisiana at Lafayette), published an article in the Louisiana Conservation Review titled, “I Saw in Louisiana a Live Oak Growing.” The piece drew its name from a poem by Walt Whitman, and like Whitman’s poem, Stephens praised the singular beauty of this distinctly Southern species of oak (Quercus virginiana). His appreciation for live oaks grew over many years of being raised and living in Louisiana and from frequent motor trips he took with his wife along the back roads and byways through Cajun country. -

Physiological, Anatomical, and Ecological Characteristics of Southern Live Oak
PHYSIOLOGICAL, ANATOMICAL, AND ECOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUTHERN LIVE OAK Yadong Qi, Jammie Favorite, Kit L. Chin, and Ying Xiao1 Abstract—Gas exchanges of sun-exposed and shaded leaves of southern live oak (Quercus virginiana Mill.) were studied monthly from May to September, 2000. Six healthy live oak trees with d.b.h. ranging from 21 to 148 cm on Southern University’s campus in Baton Rouge, LA, were selected for the study. Instantaneous gas exchanges were measured during clear sky days from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. using a portable gas exchange system. Leaf chlorophyll, moisture content, and environ- mental conditions were also monitored. Anatomy of sun-exposed and shaded leaves was studied in July using a scanning electron microscopy. Sun-exposed leaves had significantly higher net carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake rate, transpiration rate, and chlorophyll content, and significantly lower internal CO2 concentration and moisture content than the shaded leaves. The leaf anatomy related well to the leaf physiology. The sun-exposed leaves had a remarkably denser trichome layer and more closely packed palisade mesophyll cells than the shaded leaves. The combined leaf anatomy and physiology indicate that southern live oak possesses a unique ecological advantage of self defense against various environmental stresses. INTRODUCTION Increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse Southern live oak (Quercus virginiana, Mill.) is predominately gases are thought by many to be leading to increased atmo- a landscape and shade tree species that is considered a spheric temperatures (Nowak 1994a). Trees act as a sink for virtual emblem of the Old South. Live oak is a picturesque atmospheric CO2 by storing carbon (C) through their growth native tree found in the lower coastal plain of the Southeastern processes. -

Building up Brickell the Latest Wave of Development in Downtown’S Financial District — and the Challenges Ahead by Erik Bojnansky
March 13, 2017 Circulation: 35,000 Building up Brickell The latest wave of development in Downtown’s financial district — and the challenges ahead By Erik Bojnansky Back in the 1870s, Brickell was hardly more than a trading post run by the Brickell family. Today, it’s one of Miami-Dade County’s most intensely developed neighborhoods, boasting some of the tallest buildings in Florida. More than 10,000 apartments and condos were built, under construction, or proposed in the 1.2-square-mile Brickell neighborhood in 2016 alone, according to the latest figures from the Miami Downtown Development Authority. In addition to new residences, plenty of new hotels, offices and retail projects have been built or are now underway. While concerns about additional traffic persist, builders and city officials are hoping that more people will take advantage of Metrorail, a light-rail system that provides free alternative transportation from South Brickell to the Omni neighborhood. A tall order The structures that are being built, or are proposed, are of sizable stature. The 789-foot-tall Four Seasons, constructed in 2006 at 1435 Brickell Avenue, is now the tallest building in Florida, though it will soon be usurped by Tibor Hollo’s 830-foot building Panorama, which will in turn be overtaken by another of Hollo’s Florida East Coast Realty buildings, a pair of 1,049-foot-tall towers called — what else? — The Towers. Page 2 Meanwhile, developer Simon Karam recently submitted plans to build a 960-foot-tall building in the area. And Swire Properties, the Hong Kong-based developer of Brickell City Centre, still intends to build a 1,049-foot tall mixed-use tower near its 4.9-million-square-foot complex. -
3 Live Oak Care Pests Pub 2020
Publication WSFNR-20-03C February 2020 Live Oak Health Care: Planting, Pruning & Pests Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care / University Hill Fellow University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources Live oak (Quercus virginiana) is a great tree of the Coastal Plain in the South-central and Southeastern United States. It can be massive and wide-spreading, or scrubby and small, depending upon the site where it grows. Live oak is both a cultural and an ecological asset in landscapes. Proper health care is essential for a sustainable and structurally stable tree. This publication will cover some of the more important parts of starting, growing and taking care of a live oak. Collect & Sow Growing live oaks from seed must be completed with care. Live oak acorns can be collected after October from trees. Acorns on the ground have a much lower germination percentage due to pests (like weevils) and from drying. Figure 1. Remove any acorn caps attached and float test acorns in a bucket of water – discarding floating acorns, caps and debris. Also, remove any acorns with small holes, shell cracks, or fungal growth. Do not use hot water baths or microwave heating to kill weevils within acorns as germination is severely impacted. Figure 2. The larger the acorns, the greater success in germination and early growth. Immediately sow gathered acorns in fertile, well-drained but moist, mineral soil. Acorn storage is not recommended, as fungal pests and drying quickly destroy germination potential. Short storage periods under cool, moist (high relative humidity not wet) conditions can be used for several weeks. -
Quercus Virginiana Southern Live Oak1 Edward F
Fact Sheet ST-564 October 1994 Quercus virginiana Southern Live Oak1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION A large, sprawling, picturesque tree, usually graced with Spanish moss and strongly reminiscent of the Old South, Live Oak is one of the broadest spreading of the Oaks, providing large areas of deep, inviting shade (Fig. 1). It is the state tree of Georgia. Reaching 40 to 60 feet in height with a 60 to 100 foot spread and usually possessing many sinuously curved trunks and branches, Live Oak is an impressive sight for any large-scale landscape. An amazingly durable American native, it can measure its lifetime in centuries if properly located and cared for in the Figure 1. Mature Southern Live Oak. landscape. It makes an excellent street tree in the South. Unfortunately, Oak wilt has devastated the tree Availability: generally available in many areas within in parts of central Texas. Give it plenty of room since its hardiness range the trunk can grow to more than six feet in diameter.
