Control and Identification of Invasive Species
Chapter Three Control and Identification of Invasive Species A Management Guide for Missouri Control and Identification of Invasive Species: A Management Guide for Missouri Introduction Throughout the United States, invasive plants are destroying native ecosystems and landscapes as they out-compete native plants for light, nutrients and moisture. Most of these invaders purposely were brought to the United States from other parts of the world for reasons that include ornamental value, livestock forage, erosion control, and food for wildlife. Some arrived accidentally as part of ship cargo, embedded on animals, cling- ing to clothing and other means. Whatever the means of entry, when these plants entered the U.S, their spread was unimpeded by natu- ral enemies such as grazing animals, insects, and diseases, that kept them in check in their homeland. Unregulated, they spread rapidly and wreak havoc on biodiversity as they overtake landscapes that once provided shelter and food for native wildlife. Among the worst offenders are bush honeysuckle, wintercreeper, autumn olive, sweet clover, Japanese honeysuckle, purple loosestrife, garlic mustard, sericea les- pedeza, Japanese hops, and Johnsongrass. The severity of infestation ranges from a few plants in a backyard to acres filled with dense populations of undesirable species. This guide includes control measures that can be used by homeowners and professional land managers. Homeowners likely will be able to use simple, mechanical methods, while professional land managers likely will resort to methods that call for herbicide application and use of large equipment.

Adequate provision of potable water to residential properties is crucial for their use and the issue was taken with the utmost seriousness by the City. City Council was advised of the situation and immediately sought answers to questions relating to the water supply concerns and how the problem might be addressed in a responsible and expedient manner. One of the primary concerns of the City Council was the condition of the aquifer that provides potable groundwater to many of the rural residential tracts in Wildwood.

City of Kirkwood Street Tree Guide
2012 City of Kirkwood Street Tree Guide City of Kirkwood 139 S. Kirkwood Road Kirkwood, MO 63122 314-822-5801 STREET TREE Introduction SELECTIONS FOR KIRKWOOD The Kirkwood Urban Forestry Commission (KUFC) is pleased to present these updated lists of recommended street trees for enhancing Kirkwood’s streets, avenues, boulevards, and ways. Development of this composite list is the result of significant research, incorporating the advice from local professionals including arborists, urban foresters, nurserymen, horticulturists, and landscaping managers. The intention of this effort is to provide urban planners, architects, landscape architects, public works managers, utility managers, and Kirkwood residents with a list of trees appropriate for street tree application, tailored to the Kirkwood environment. Since the world of living plants is quite dynamic, these lists will be reviewed periodically by the KUFC and updated if deemed necessary after reviewing the results of current Introduction urban forestry research. The KUFC completed its most recent review and update of the city’s current list of recommended street trees as of June, 2012. The Kirkwood Urban Forestry Commissions’ primary intention associated with development of this highly researched document is to provide Kirkwood citizens and staff with state-of-the-art tree recommendations as the community continues to enhance Kirkwood’s urban forest.

Summary Acer tataricum ssp. ginnala is listed as an invasive species in Illinois and this evaluation confirms that categorization. Acer tataricum ssp. ginnala invades in climates matching Illinois across the Eastern United States and Canada. The production of copious viable seeds and impacts on native plant communities are documented by horticultural sources. General Information Status: Completed Screener: Emily Russell Evaluation Date: September 19, 2017 Plant Information Plant: Acer tataricum ssp. ginnala Regional Information Region Name: Illinois Climate Matching Map To answer four of the PRE questions for a regional evaluation, a climate map with three climate data layers (Precipitation, UN EcoZones, and Plant Hardiness) is needed.

Acer Ginnala Amur Maple1 Edward F
Fact Sheet ST-14 November 1993 Acer ginnala Amur Maple1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Amur maple is an excellent, low-growing tree for small yards and other small-scale landscapes (Fig. 1). It can be grown as a multi-stemmed clump or can be trained into a small tree with a single trunk up to four to six feet tall. The tree grows about 20 to 30 feet tall and has an upright, rounded, finely branched growth habit which creates dense shade under the crown. Due to excessive branchiness, some pruning is required early in the life of the tree to create dominant major branches. Amur maple can grow rapidly when it is young if it receives water and fertilizer, but it is well- suited for planting close to power lines since it slows down and remains small at maturity. Figure 1. Mature Amur Maple.

Embryo Germination in Acer Ginnala Maxim. and the Activity of an Endogenous Exudate
Transactions of the Illinois State Academy of Science received 1/15/98 (1999), Volume 92, 1 and 2, pp. 59-67 accepted 8/22/98 Embryo Germination in Acer ginnala Maxim. and the Activity of an Endogenous Exudate Sarah A.

Bolyard1,2,3 1 Environmental Studies Program 2 Department of Biological Sciences 3To whom correspondence should be addressed. Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville Edwardsville, Illinois 62026-1651 ABSTRACT The Amur maple (Acer ginnala Maxim.), a small, pollution and stress-tolerant ornamen- tal tree, is commonly planted in the northern United States. In preliminary germination studies, a reddish-brown exudate was produced from the testa surrounding the embryo. Embryos with testae in place did not germinate, whereas embryos with the testae removed, or even slightly damaged, germinated in approximately 9 days. Removal of the testa and subsequent embryo culture in total darkness permitted embryo germination, indicating that the testa may control germination by chemical means rather than as a physical barrier to light. Periodic removal of the exudate followed by subsequent analysis of newly produced exudate indicated a decrease in concentration over time, suggesting that gradual disintegration or inactivation of the testa may be a timing mechanism for germination. The exudate inhibited the development of lateral roots in lettuce seedlings, suggesting that it may posses allelochemical properties as well. Our results suggest that the testa of Acer ginnala provides a timing mechanism for its own embryo germination and may also influence the adjacent microenvironment through the secretion of this exu- date.
