In the case of ash trees in the USA, all six of the eastern species entered the Red List for the first time in a threatened category, five of the six as critically Endangered. If this is the case for well-known, thoroughly studied, keystone species in the USA, imagine how many species are slipping away undocumented and undescribed in places like the Amazon rainforest, subtropical Africa, and southeast Asia. In a time of unprecedented globalization and climate change, it is of critical importance that we gather the baseline data on the state of the world’s tree species. The information captured in Red List assessments provides guidance for much needed ex situ and in situ Fraxinus quadrangulata (The Morton Arboretum) conservation efforts.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Oystershell Scale (Lepidosaphes Ulmi) on Green Ash (Fraxinus Pennsylvanica)
    Esther Buck(Senior) Oystershell Scale (Lepidosaphes ulmi) on Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) I found a green ash tree (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) outside the law building that was covered with Oystershell Scale, (Lepidosaphes ulmi). Oystershell Scale insects on Green Ash twig Oystershell Scale insects The Green Ash normally has an upright oval growth habit growing up to 50ft tall. The Green Ash that I found was only about 20ft tall. The tree also had some twig and branch dieback. The overall health of the plant was fair, it was on the shorter side and did have some dieback but it looked like it could last for a while longer. The dwarfed growth and dieback of branches and twigs was probably a result of the high infestation of Oystershell Scale (Lepidosaphes ulmi) insect on the branches of the tree. Scale insects feeding on plant sap slowly reduce plant vigor, so I think this sample may have been shorter due to the infestation of Scale insects. As with this tree, heavily infested plants grow poorly and may suffer dieback of twigs and branches. An infested host is occasionally so weakened that it dies. The scale insects resemble a small oyster shell and are usually in clusters all over the bark of branches on trees such as dogwood, elm, hickory, ash, poplar, apple etc. The Oystershell Scale insect has two stages, a crawler stage, which settles after a few days. Then the insect develops a scale which is like an outer shell, which is usually what you will see on an infested host. The scales are white in color at first but become brown with maturity.

    MSU’s invasive species factsheets Asian long-horned beetle Anoplophora glabripennis The Asian long-horned beetle is an exotic wood-boring insect that attacks various broadleaf trees and shrubs. The beetle has been detected in a few urban areas of the United States. In Michigan, food host plants for this insect are abundantly present in urban landscapes, hardwood forests and riparian habitats. This beetle is a concern to lumber, nursery, landscaping and tourism industries. Michigan risk maps for exotic plant pests. Other common name starry sky beetle Systematic position Insecta > Coleoptera > Cerambycidae > Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) Global distribution Native to East Asia (China and Korea). Outside the native range, the beetle infestation has been found in Austria and Canada (Toronto) and the United States: Illinois (Chicago), New Jersey, New York (Long Island), and Asian long-horned beetle. Massachusetts. Management notes Quarantine status The only effective eradication technique available in This insect is a federally quarantined organism in North America has been to cut and completely destroy the United States (NEPDN 2006). Therefore, detection infested trees (Cavey 2000). must be reported to regulatory authorities and will lead to eradication efforts.

  • Arboretum Guide 2.Pmd
    Acknowledgments An arboretum is a place for the study, display and preservation of trees. Thanks to the foresight and devotion of members of the Guada Coma Garden Club, Landa Park was designated as an arboretum in 1982. Nestled on 51 acres of river front park land, this arboretum acts as a living library of trees. Developed by Harry Landa in 1898 as a private park, Landa Park was opened to the public in 1936. Since that time, residents have worked to preserve the natural beauty that exists here. The arboretum was named after two such individuals, William and Delores Schumann, in 2007 in honor of their endless devotion to this botanical jewel.

Executive Summary This survey was a continuation of several years of rare plant survey on San Juan Public Lands. Funding for the project was provided by San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management. Previous rare plant surveys on San Juan Public Lands by CNHP were conducted in conjunction with county wide surveys of La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan and San Miguel counties, with partial funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO); and in 2004, public lands only in Dolores and Montezuma counties, funded entirely by the San Juan Public Lands. Funding for 2005 was again provided by San Juan Public Lands. The primary emphases for field work in 2005 were: 1. revisit and update information on rare plant occurrences of agency sensitive species in the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database that were last observed prior to 2000, in order to have the most current information available for informing the revision of the Resource Management Plan for the San Juan Public Lands (BLM and San Juan National Forest); 2.
