Vascular Flora of Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area, Anderson County, Texas
2003SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST 2(3):347–368 THE VASCULAR FLORA OF GUS ENGELING WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA, ANDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS 1 2,3 2 JASON R. SINGHURST , JAMES C. CATHY , DALE PROCHASKA , 2 4 5 HAYDEN HAUCKE , GLENN C. KROH , AND WALTER C. HOLMES ABSTRACT - Field studies in the Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area, which consists of approximately 4465.5 ha (11,034.1 acres) of the Post Oak Savannah of Anderson County, have resulted in an annotated checklist of the vascular flora corroborating its remarkable species richness. A total of 930 taxa (excluding family names), belonging to 485 genera and 145 families are re- corded. Asteraceae (124 species), Poaceae (114 species), Fabaceae (67 species), and Cyperaceae (61 species) represented the largest families. Six Texas endemic taxa occur on the site: Brazoria truncata var. pulcherrima (B. pulcherrima), Hymenopappus carrizoanus, Palafoxia reverchonii, Rhododon ciliatus, Trades- cantia humilis, and T. subacaulis. Within Texas, Zigadenus densus is known only from the study area. The area also has a large number of species that are endemic to the West Gulf Coastal Plain and Carrizo Sands phytogeographic distribution patterns. Eleven vegetation alliances occur on the property, with the most notable being sand post oak-bluejack oak, white oak-southern red oak-post oak, and beakrush-pitcher plant alliances. INTRODUCTION The Post Oak Savannah (Gould 1962) comprises about 4,000,000 ha of gently rolling to hilly lands that lie immediately west of the Pineywoods (Timber belt). Some (Allred and Mitchell 1955, Dyksterhuis 1948) consider the vegetation of the area as part of the deciduous forest; i.e., burned out forest that is presently regenerating. -
Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al. -

Floristic Inventory of the Mccurtain County Wilderness Area, Oklahoma
99 Floristic Inventory of the McCurtain County Wilderness Area, Oklahoma Bruce A. Smith, Ronald J. Tyrl, and Ronald E. Masters¹ Herbarium, Department of Botany, and ¹Department of Forestry, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078 INTRODUCTION The 5,701-ha McCurtain County Wilderness Area (MCWA) is the largest representative tract of unlogged, old-growth oak-shortleaf-pine habitat known to remain in the United States (1). It has been owned by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) since 1918 (2). The overstory of the upland communities is dominated by Pinus echinata, Quercus stellata, Quercus velutina, and Carya spp. on south slopes, while more mesic north slopes are dominated by Quercus alba, Quercus rubra, Quercus stellata, Carya tomentosa, and to a lesser extent Acer spp. (3). Common understory taxa are Vaccinium spp. and Hypericum spp. (2,3). The riparian forest along the Mountain Fork River in the MCWA was lost when Broken Bow Reservoir was constructed. (4). This community may have had constituents, e.g., Taxodium distichum, Quercus bicolor, and Carya glabra, that are currently absent from the area. The appearance of the Wilderness today is quite different from that prior to the arrival of European settlers. Historical evidence (3,5-7) suggests that frequent anthropogenic and lightning-caused fires maintained a mosaic of open woodland plant communities. The understory was likely dominated by grasses such as bluestems or by woody sprouts (7). Fire suppression in the area fostered a rapid increase in the density of the forest and a shift in the landscape mosaic of the dominant forest cover types (3,7). -

Orange Berry Rust
Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic Plant Pathology and Plant‐Microbe Biology Section 334 Plant Science Building Ithaca, NY 14853‐5904 Orange Rust: Gymnoconia sp. and Arthuriomyces sp. Introduction been assigned to them. The form on black raspberry is Orange rust is a disease of black berry and black caused by a fungus known as Arthuriomyces peckianus, raspberry. Purple raspberry may also become infected, while the form more common on blackberry is but red raspberry is resistant. This rust occurs in two known as Gymnoconia nitens. Orange rust is one of different forms with very similar symptoms. One the more serious diseases of susceptible brambles in form has a long cycle and affects mainly black the Northeast. It should not be confused with the late raspberry, and the other has a short cycle and affects leaf rust disease of red raspberries. mainly blackberry. Gymnoconia peckiana was the name originally given to the fungus that causes orange rust, but some morphological differences were eventually identified between the two forms, and now separate scientific names have Figure 2: Sporulation on lower leaf surface of black raspberry (June in New York) (provided by S. Jensen, Cornell University) Symptoms and Signs Lower leaf surfaces become covered with blister-like Figure 1: Symptoms on upper leaf surface of black raspberry masses of yellow-orange spores by late May or early (provided by S. Jensen, Cornell University) June. These spores serve to spread the disease to other plants. In addition, heavily infected leaves may die, and infected shoots will be weak, spindly and have very few, if any thorns. -

Crop Profile for Caneberries in California
Crop Profile for Caneberries in California Prepared: February, 2000 General Production Information ● Caneberries is the general term for Rubus spp., which are commonly called raspberries and blackberries. When picked, raspberries leave the receptacle behind resulting in a cup-shaped fruit. On the other hand, blackberries retain the receptacle within the fruit and the fruit are not cup-shaped. Raspberries are in Rubus subgenus Idaeobatus and blackberries are in the subgenus Eubatus. There are also hybrids between raspberries and blackberries such as loganberry, boysenberry, and ollalieberry (5). In this profile raspberries, blackberries, and hybrids are considered together except where noted. Where they are separated, raspberries are one group and blackberries and hybrids are another group. ● In 1997, 19,400,000 pounds of raspberries were produced on 1,900 acres in California. The average yield was 10,200 pounds per acre. The average price was $1.41 per pound and the total crop value was $27,330,000 (2). ● Blackberries were produced on 714 acres in California in 1997 (1). ● In 1997, 2,500,000 pounds of boysenberries were produced on 270 acres in California. The average yield was 9,100 pounds per acre. The average price was $0.67 per pound and the total crop value was $1,639,000. The 1997 crop value was down from a high in 1988 of $3,814,000 when the price per pound was $1.82. In 1988, 2,100,000 pounds of boysenberries were produced on 400 acres and yield was 5,300 pounds per acre (2). ● In 1996, California ranked third in raspberry production, producing 26% of the nation’s raspberries. -

Every effort should be made to avoid wounding roots and lower stems. • Once infected, plants cannot be cured of viruses. 1. Set out only disease-free plants. 2. Remove wild blackberries growing nearby that can harbor caneberry viruses 3. Rapidly remove symptomatic plants Understanding Pathogen Biology & Diversity ESTABLISHMENT CONSIDERATIONS OUTLINE for Novel Control of Plant Diseases https://berrydealer.com/blackberries/ Nematodes • Nematode control, especially of dagger nematode, is essential to prevent virus spread; even low levels of dagger nematodes are dangerous. • Prior to land prep, all potential sites should be sampled for root-knot, root-lesion, dagger and other nematodes.
