    Department of Planning and Zoning Subject: Howard County Landscape Manual Updates: Recommended Street Tree List (Appendix B) and Recommended Plant List (Appendix C) - Effective July 1, 2010 To: DLD Review Staff Homebuilders Committee From: Kent Sheubrooks, Acting Chief Division of Land Development Date: July 1, 2010 Purpose: The purpose of this policy memorandum is to update the Recommended Plant Lists presently contained in the Landscape Manual. The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

  • Amelanchier Canadensis: Shadblow Serviceberry1 Edward F
    ENH233 Amelanchier canadensis: Shadblow Serviceberry1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 Introduction Availability: somewhat available, may have to go out of the region to find the tree Downy serviceberry is an upright, twiggy, multi-stemmed large shrub, eventually reaching 20 to 25 feet in height with a spread of 15 to 20 feet. This North American native is usually the first to be noticed in the forest or garden at springtime, the pure white, glistening flowers some of the earliest to appear among the many other dull brown, leafless, and still-slumbering trees. The small white flowers are produced in dense, erect, two- to three-inch-long racemes, opening up to a delicate display before the attrac- tive reddish-purple buds unfold into small, rounded leaves. These leaves are covered with a fine, soft grey fuzz when young, giving the plant its common name, but will mature into smooth, dark green leaves later. Following the blooms are many small, luscious, dark red/purple, sweet and juicy, apple-shaped fruits, often well hidden by the dark green leaves, and which would be popular with people were they not so quickly consumed by birds and other wildlife who seem to find their flavor irresistible. General Information Figure 1.

The shrub was introduced in Europe in 1746. The Shadblow serviceberry grows up to 5 to 6 metres tall and wide with a finely branched, wide vase-shaped crown. Before the leaves start to sprout, the Amelanchier canadensisblooms bountifully racemes of white flowers that hang over slightly. In late July, it bears red-violet to blue-black fruits that are edible. The leaves are relatively large and bud in a lovely bronze-red. In the summer, the Shadblow serviceberry has green leaves with a grey-green underside. The autumn colours are yellow-orange to brown and less striking than those of other serviceberry shrubs. The species has a preference for sunlight and moist, humous, slightly acidic soil. It will tolerate a temporarily dry environment, as well as strong wind. That makes Amelanchier canadensis very suitable for use in containers and roof gardens.

Assessment of spruce (Picea obovata) abundance by spectral unmixing algorithm for sustainable forest management in highland Natural Reserve (case study of Zigalga Range, South-Ural State Natural Reserve, Russia). Anna Mikheeva (1) and Pavel Moiseev (2) (1) Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University, (2) Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology, Russian Academy of Sciences (Ural branch) In mountain territories climate change affects forest productivity and growth, which results in the tree line advanc- ing and increasing of the forest density. These changes pose new challenges for forest managers whose respon- sibilities include forest resources inventory, monitoring and protection of ecosystems, and assessment of forest vulnerability. These activities require a range of sources of information, including exact squares of forested areas, forest densities and species abundances. Picea obovata, dominant tree species in South-Ural State Natural Reserve, Russia has regenerated, propagated and increased its relative cover during the recent 70 years. A remarkable shift of the upper limit of Picea obovata up to 60–80 m upslope was registered by repeating photography, especially on gentle slopes. The stands of Picea obovata are monitored by Reserve inspectors on the test plots to ensure that forests maintain or improve their productivity, these studies also include projective cover measurements. However, it is impossible to cover the entire territory of the Reserve by detailed field observations. Remote sensing data from Terra ASTER imagery provides valuable information for large territories (scene covers an area of 60 x 60 km) and can be used for quantitative mapping of forest and non-forest vegetation at regional scale (spatial resolution is 15-30 m for visible and infrared bands).

  • Brewing Beer with Native Plants (Seasonality)
    BREWING BEER WITH INDIANA NATIVE PLANTS Proper plant identification is important. Many edible native plants have poisonous look-alikes! Availability/When to Harvest Spring. Summer. Fall Winter . Year-round . (note: some plants have more than one part that is edible, and depending on what is being harvested may determine when that harvesting period is) TREES The wood of many native trees (especially oak) can be used to age beer on, whether it be barrels or cuttings. Woods can also be used to smoke the beers/malts as well. Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga Canadensis): Needles and young twigs can be brewed into a tea or added as ingredients in cooking, similar flavoring to spruce. Tamarack (Larix laricina): Bark and twigs can be brewed into a tea with a green, earthy flavor. Pine species (Pinus strobus, Pinus banksiana, Pinus virginiana): all pine species have needles that can be made into tea, all similar flavor. Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana): mature, dark blue berries and young twigs may be made into tea or cooked with, similar in flavor to most other evergreen species. Pawpaw (Asimina triloba): edible fruit, often described as a mango/banana flavor hybrid. Sassafras (Sassafras albidum): root used to make tea, formerly used to make rootbeer. Similarly flavored, but much more earthy and bitter. Leaves have a spicier, lemony taste and young leaves are sometimes used in salads. Leaves are also dried and included in file powder, common in Cajun and Creole cooking. Northern Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis): Ripe, purple-brown fruits are edible and sweet. Red Mulberry (Morus rubra): mature red-purple-black fruit is sweet and juicy.

Boreas, Vol. 44, pp. 638–657. 10.1111/bor.12133. ISSN 0300-9483. Knowledge of present-day communities and ecosystems resembling those reconstructed from the fossil record can help improve our understanding of historical distribution patterns and species composition of past communities. Here, we use a unique data set of 570 plots explored for vascular plant and 315 for land-snail assemblages located along a 650-km-long transect running across a steep climatic gradient in the Russian Altai Mountains and their foothills in southern Siberia. We analysed climatic and habitat requirements of modern populations for eight land-snail and 16 vascular plant species that are considered characteristic of the full-glacial environment of central Europe based on (i) fossil evidence from loess deposits (snails) or (ii) refugial patterns of their modern distribu- tions (plants). The analysis yielded consistent predictions of the full-glacial central European climate derived from both snail and plant populations. We found that the distribution of these 24 species was limited to the areas with mean annual temperature varying from À6.7 to 3.4 °C (median À2.5 °C) and with total annual precipitation vary- ing from 137 to 593 mm (median 283 mm).

  • Effects of Pollen and Resources on Seed Number and Other Fitness Components in Amelanchier Arborea (Rosaceae: Maloideae) 1
    Amer. J. Bot. 75(9): 1275-1285. 1988. EFFECTS OF POLLEN AND RESOURCES ON SEED NUMBER AND OTHER FITNESS COMPONENTS IN AMELANCHIER ARBOREA (ROSACEAE: MALOIDEAE) 1 DAVID L. GORCHOV2 Department of Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 ABSTRACT Most Amelanchier arborea flowers have 10 ovules, but the number of filled (embryo-con­ taining) seeds per fruit is usually less than 10 and is highly variable within each individual plant. Because fruit developmental time correlates with seed number, this variation in seed number results in asynchronous fruit ripening. Field experiments tested whether seed number was pollen- or resource-limited. Manipulation of resources in the shoot at the time of fruit initiation by defoliation, girdling, fruit thinning, or foliar feeding had no significant effect on seed number per fruit, although fruit set and seed weight were affected. Supplemental cross­ pollination also had no demonstrable effect on seed number. Most ovules that do not become filled seeds are visible as small "undeveloped seeds"; these are not necessarily aborted seeds as this was also the fate of ovules in unpollinated carpels. Alternative hypotheses for the deter­ mination of seed number are proposed and discussed. THE NUMBER OF SEEDS that mature per fruit is few developing seeds are more likely to abort variable in many plant species and has several than those with many seeds (see reviews by important ecological, evolutionary, and hor­ Stephenson, 1981; Stephenson and Bertin, ticultural implications.

  • Check List of Ohio Trees
    Feb., 1906.] Check List of Ohio Trees. 457 CHECK LIST OF OHIO TREES. JOHN H. SCHAFFNER Ohio lies in the great deciduous forest region which extends from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River. This region was formerly one of the grandest woodland areas in the temperate zone. But the forest is rapidly disappearing before the civilization of the white man. In the list given below the introduced species have been marked by the abbreviation "I.", and those which are usually small or shrub-like by "S. T." In attempting to separate "trees" from the larger "shrubs," one must necessarily be some- what arbitrary, as nature draws no definite division line. A tree may be defined as a woody plant of any size which pro- duces naturally one main erect stem with a definite crown of branches; while a shrub is a woody plant which produces small, irregular or slanting stems usually in tufts. The species may develop in various ways depending on the environment. Thus the writer has seen individuals of the poison ivy (Rhus radicans L.) develop as climbers, shrubs, and small "trees" in an area only a few rods in extent, the conditions being favorable for all three modes of growth. In the present list, an attempt has been made to give the appropriate English name for each species. These have mostly been taken from Sudworth's "Check List of the Forest Trees of the United States." Hybrids and mere forms have not been included. Of the 155 species listed as occurring in Ohio, 128 are native and 27 are introduced; about 106 are typical trees and 49 are small trees or shrub-like.
