    FNR-213 Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center North Central Research Station USDA Forest Service Department of Forestry and Natural Resources Purdue University Designing Hardwood Tree Plantings for Wildlife Brian J. MacGowan, Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University Woody plants can be of value to many wildlife species. The species of tree or shrub, or the location, size, and shape of planting can all have an impact on wildlife. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the benefits of trees and shrubs for wildlife and how to design tree and shrub plantings for wildlife. Some of the practices may conflict with other management goals and may have to be modified for individual priorities. Trees and Shrubs for Wildlife The species you select for a tree planting should depend on the growing conditions of the site and the wildlife species that you want to manage. Talk to a professional forester to help you select the tree species best suited for your growing conditions. A professional biologist, such as a Department of Natural Resources District Biologist (www.in.gov/ food source for wildlife (Table 2). Shrubs can be dnr/fishwild/huntguide1/wbiolo.htm), can assist you particularly important because several species of with planning a tree planting for wildlife. wildlife, especially songbirds, prefer to feed or nest There is no specific formula for developing wild- on or near the ground. Shrubs also provide good life habitat. For example, acorns are eaten by a wide protective cover for these types of wildlife.

  • Quercus Imbricaria.Indd
    Quercus imbricaria (Shingle Oak) Beech Family (Fagaceae) Introduction: Shingle oak is a member of the red oak group with willow-like leaves. It is one of the most handsome of the oaks. Shingle oak has an attractive branching habit and ridged bark, and it casts medium shade in summer. Although fall color may not be outstanding, the shiny, willow-shaped leaves are nonetheless quite attractive through all four seasons. Culture: Shingle oak is an easy oak to grow and adapts to various sites. While it prefers rich, moist, acidic soil and full sun, it is tolerant of drought, urban conditions and slightly alkaline soil. Shingle oak is easy to trans- plant. Because of its very strong wood, this oak is not Botanical Characteristics: subject to storm damage.

  • IDENTIFYING OAKS: the HYBRID PROBLEM by Richard J
    . IDENTIFYING OAKS: THE HYBRID PROBLEM by Richard J. Jensen I Anyone who has spent time trying to identify oaks (Quercus spp.), especially in the for­ ests of eastern North America, has encountered trees that defy classification into any of the recognized species. Such trees commonly are treated as putative hybrids and often are taken as evidence that species of oaks are not as discrete as species in other groups. On the other hand, some (e.g., Muller, 1941) have argued that many, if not most, putative hybrids are nothing more than stump sprouts or aberrant individuals of a species. Muller (1941) did not deny the existence of hybrids; he was cautioning against an inflated view of the frequency of hybridization as a result of cavalier claims. As he put it (Muller, 1951), 'The freedom of hybridization ascribed to oaks is immensely overrated." While I don't disagree with these sentiments, I do believe that hybrids are a common component of forests throughout North America. Virtually all oak species in North America have been claimed to produce hybrids with one or more related species. Hardin (1975j presented a diagram illustrating hybrid combina­ tions for the common white oak (Quercus alba L.) and Fig. 1 provides a similar view for northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.). Because these two species have very broad geo­ graphical ranges and come in contact with a large number of related taxa, there is ample opportunity for hybrid combina- RUB tions to arise naturally. These two examples also reflect the fact that MAR coc instances of hybridization are re­ stricted to taxa within a section: Quercus section Quercus (the white and chestnut oaks) and ELL IU Quercus section Lobatae (the red and black oaks), respectively.

    Article An Updated Infrageneric Classification of the North American Oaks (Quercus Subgenus Quercus): Review of the Contribution of Phylogenomic Data to Biogeography and Species Diversity Paul S. Manos 1,* and Andrew L. Hipp 2 1 Department of Biology, Duke University, 330 Bio Sci Bldg, Durham, NC 27708, USA 2 The Morton Arboretum, Center for Tree Science, 4100 Illinois 53, Lisle, IL 60532, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The oak flora of North America north of Mexico is both phylogenetically diverse and species-rich, including 92 species placed in five sections of subgenus Quercus, the oak clade centered on the Americas. Despite phylogenetic and taxonomic progress on the genus over the past 45 years, classification of species at the subsectional level remains unchanged since the early treatments by WL Trelease, AA Camus, and CH Muller. In recent work, we used a RAD-seq based phylogeny including 250 species sampled from throughout the Americas and Eurasia to reconstruct the timing and biogeography of the North American oak radiation. This work demonstrates that the North American oak flora comprises mostly regional species radiations with limited phylogenetic affinities to Mexican clades, and two sister group connections to Eurasia. Using this framework, we describe the regional patterns of oak diversity within North America and formally classify 62 species into nine major North American subsections within sections Lobatae (the red oaks) and Quercus (the Citation: Manos, P.S.; Hipp, A.L.

  • The Distribution of the Genus Quercus in Illinois: an Update
    Transactions of the Illinois State Academy of Science received 3/19/02 (2002), Volume 95, #4, pp. 261-284 accepted 6/23/02 The Distribution of the Genus Quercus in Illinois: An Update Nick A. Stoynoff Glenbard East High School Lombard, IL 60148 William J. Hess The Morton Arboretum Lisle, IL 60532 ABSTRACT This paper updates the distribution of members of the black oak [section Lobatae] and white oak [section Quercus] groups native to Illinois. In addition a brief discussion of Illinois’ spontaneously occurring hybrid oaks is presented. The findings reported are based on personal collections, herbarium specimens, and published documents. INTRODUCTION The genus Quercus is well known in Illinois. Although some taxa are widespread, a few have a limited distribution. Three species are of “special concern” and are listed as either threatened (Quercus phellos L., willow oak; Quercus montana Willd., rock chestnut oak) or endangered (Quercus texana Buckl., Nuttall’s oak) [Illinois Endangered Species Pro- tection Board 1999]. The Illinois Natural History Survey has dedicated a portion of its website [www.INHS.uiuc.edu] to the species of Quercus in Illinois. A discussion of all oaks from North America is available online from the Flora of North America Associa- tion [http://hua.huh.harvard.edu/FNA/] and in print [Jensen 1997, Nixon 1997, Nixon and Muller 1997]. The National Plant Data Center maintains an extensive online database [http://plants.usda.gov] documenting information on plants in the United States and its territories. Extensive oak data are available there [U.S.D.A. 2001]. During the last 40 years the number of native oak species recognized for Illinois by vari- ous floristic authors has varied little [Tables 1 & 2].

  • 5 Oglethorpe Oak Pub 2020
    Publication WSFNR-20-05C February 2020 Oglethorpe oak — Quercus oglethorpensis Descent Into Oblivion Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care / University Hill Fellow University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources Oglethorpe oak (Quercus oglethorpensis) is a newcomer in the tree identification world. Originally thought by botanists to be a Southern form of shingle oak (Quercus imbricaria), a more careful series of observations proved otherwise. Oglethorpe oak was identified along a quiet creek in 1940 by a brilliant plant taxonomist, Professor Wilbur Duncan. He named the tree after Oglethorpe County, Georgia where he had first identified the tree. The name honors British general James E. Oglethorpe (1696-1785), founder of the city of Savannah and the colony of Georgia. White Oak By Any Other Name Oglethorpe oak is a member of the beech family (Fagaceae). Oglethorpe oak is in the white oak group of oaks, and was probably not recognized earlier because its bark closely resembles white and post oak, which also grow in the area. The typical tree of record was discovered along Buffalo Creek, 8 miles east of Lexington, GA in 1940. This oak species is a rarity and is seldom seen, partially because of its low population numbers and because of its isolated habitat. Seedlings in the wild are rare. Small to medium sized trees will produce stump sprouts if damaged. Oglethorpe oak is not listed or given any federal protection, but is a species which has been examined for federal protection. It was given a relative low priority compared with other species.

  • Designing an Oak Savanna
    Savanna Information Sheet Conservation Practice Information Sheet (IS-MO643) Designing an Oak Savanna What is an Oak Savanna? Although definitions vary, one common definition is: an oak savanna is a plant community with scattered “open-grown” fire tolerant oak trees. Other terms for these savannas are “oak openings” and “barrens”. In contrast to a forest, which has a closed canopy, the oak savanna canopy ranges from about 10% to 50%. In such a habitat, the ground layer receives sun and shade, which permits growth of a wide diversity of grasses and flowering plants. There is usually enough sun to the ground to permit the growth of typical prairie species, such as big and little bluestem grass, and many goldenrods and asters. Oak savannas have their own characteristic and complex communities of ground-layer grasses, flowering plants, and shrubs. A few examples of flowering plants of the savanna include white wild indigo (Baptisia leucantha), lead plant (Amorpha canescens), purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), round-headed bush clover (Lespedeza capitata) and blue aster (Aster anomalis). Common savanna shrubs are New Jersey tea (Ceonothus americanus), hazelnut (Corylus americana), and pasture rose (Rosa carolina) . Early settlers to the Midwest described the park-like setting of oak savannas. At one time these savannas and open woodlands were common throughout the landscape of Missouri. An oak savanna is a transitional form between tall grass prairie in the west and deciduous forest in the east. Although there is a continuum from prairie to savanna to forest, oak savannas are still considered a distinct vegetation type. An oak savanna is a fire-controlled vegetation community.
