Diversity of street tree populations in larger Danish municipalities

Healthy and sustainable tree populations require a high diversity of genera and species. This study examined the occurrence and contents of tree inventories in Denmark's 30 largest municipalities. 59% of the municipalities had a tree inventory for street trees, but only about half of these were complete and updated. Only one municipality had a registration for trees other than street trees. Based on data from the tree inventories, the diversity of road side trees was analyzed at genus level and species level. A total of 82,072 street trees are part of the study. 11 different genera account for 92% of the total street tree stock, and 2–6 genera account for 40–80% of the street tree stock in the individual municipalities. Tilia was the most dominating genera (26%). 12 species account for 73% of the total street tree stock. The 6 most common species account for almost 50% of the total tree population. The species representing the largest numbers were Tilia × europaea (12%), Acer platanoides (10.9%), Platanus × acerifolia (7.2%), Tilia cordata (7.2%), Fraxinus excelsior (6.2%) and Sorbus intermedia (5.9%). The four most urbanized municipalities had a surplus of non-native species, but all municipalities apart from one had most street trees belonging to native species. The concluding recommendation of this study is that tree managers need to start working more strategic with their tree stock, in order to reduce the vulnerability, due to potential attacks from pests or diseases and climate change effects. A risk spreading system for the urban tree population is proposed, suggesting that no genera should account for more than 10% and no species for more than 5% of the tree population.     

A citywide survey of the pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa spatial distribution in Orléans (France)

There is a growing recognition that urban trees provide various valuable benefits and services such as enhanced human wellbeing. However, they also have a cost in terms of public health either directly (allergies) or by harboring species representing health risk for humans. This paper focuses on such a forest insect species, the pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa. Its caterpillars develop gregariously during winter in a conspicuous silk nest in coniferous hosts. When disturbed, the larvae release urticating hairs that cause human or animal serious health problems. The purpose of our survey was to (1) inventory all individual trees belonging to potential host species and estimate the density of T. pityocampa (2) assess the spatial pattern of the insect population at the city scale. We conducted an exhaustive inventory of potential coniferous host trees in five municipalities (ca. 5000 ha) in the north of Orléans, France. Each tree was identified, geo-referenced and the number of moth nests it hosted was counted. A total of 9321 urban trees representing 11 coniferous taxonomic units were investigated. The distribution of T. pityocampa exhibited a marked spatial structure citywide. Geostatistics allowed to draw risk maps revealing strong patchiness. We provide the first estimate of T. pityocampa host tree preference in an urban context and found that Pinus nigra, P. pinaster and P. sylvestris were the most attacked trees. We also report numerous cases of T. pityocampa occurrence on the exotic ornamental Himalayan cedar Cedrus deodara. The management implications of our findings are two-fold: (1) risk maps constitute a useful framework for communication and public information, and can help developing control strategies; (2) some species frequently used for ornamental purposes are poor quality hosts regarding T. pityocampa and should therefore be preferred in public place usually frequented by vulnerable people (schools, nurseries, hospitals).

旅游区人为干扰对森林群落物种多样性的影响

研究人为干扰对湖北省梭布垭石林针阔混交林森林群落物种多样性的影响。结果表明,人为干扰对乔木层马尾松Pinus massoniana和杉木Cunninghamia lanceolata优势种的主体地位和作用没有根本性的改变,但使群落平均胸径（或地径）和平均树高降低,群落种类组成发生变化。重度干扰和中度干扰降低了群落乔木层阔叶树种和灌木层优势种的作用和地位,重要值降低,但增加了群落物种多样性水平。不同干扰类型的群落,在垂直高度1.0 m以下,Shannon-Weiner多样性指数较大,1.1 ~ 3.0 m高度达最大,以后随高度升高,多样性指数降低,在9.1 m以上的高度层,树种单一,多样性为０。图3表3参13

滴灌施肥周期和毛管布设方式对苹果树细根直径时空分布的影响

为探明不同滴灌施肥策略对苹果树细根直径的调控效应,于2019—2021年开展二因素二水平完全组合设计田间试验,毛管布设方式设置一行一管和一行两管,施肥周期设置15 d和30 d,采用微根管原位监测技术,分苹果树正南、正西及东北3个方位和0～19、19～38、38～57、57～76 cm不同深度土层,持续观测苹果树活跃生长期内细根直径的动态变化,分析了苹果树细根直径对毛管布设方式和施肥周期的响应。结果表明：细根直径主要集中在0.5～1.5 mm范围内,约占90%,0～0.5 mm和1.5～2.0 mm直径的细根占比很少。在夏季之前,直径≤1.0 mm的细根增多;夏季之后,细根直径加粗,直径>1.0 mm的细根迅速增加。相较于施肥周期15 d,施肥周期30 d在2020年6—11月和2021年4—7月均能增加细根直径;在大部分土层中,施肥周期30 d会增加细根直径,施肥周期15 d会减小细根直径;在2020年正南和东北方向上,施肥周期15 d会减小细根直径,施肥周期30 d会增加细根直径。一行一管较一行两管在2020年和2021年8月均能增加细根直径;在浅中层土壤(0～38 cm土层...     

控制灌水对梨幼树枝条生长和成花的影响

以3年生梨幼树为试材,研究了4种不同灌水处理对梨幼树枝条生长和花芽形成的影响。结果表明,在冬季一次灌水(250m~3/亩)的基础上,减少土壤供水可有效地控制新梢长度和粗度,缓和树势,增加花芽数量。减少土壤供水可使幼树总生长量轻微下降,主干生长减弱,树冠长梢比例下降,中、短梢比例增加,单位主干横截面积上的花芽数明显增加。生长季节控制灌水,可节约灌水量、扩大灌溉面积、并能促使梨幼树早期结果。     

秦岭北坡栓皮栎干基萌苗生长特性研究

【目的】阐明栓皮栎（Quercus variabilis）产生干基萌苗的能力以及萌苗的产生和生长特性,以制定合理的人工促萌措施。【方法】2009-2010年,对陕西省周至县楼观台地区天然栓皮栎次生林中4个径级共40株栓皮栎个体进行环剥并跟踪观测2年,比较了不同径级栓皮栎产生干基萌苗的母树比例及萌苗的数量、枯死率、年龄结构和生长特征。【结果】1）栓皮栎母树均能在环剥后1个月产生愈伤组织以保护伤口,观测过程中没有母树死亡;2）78%的环剥母树能够产生干基萌苗,70%的母树能在环剥后2年内保存有活萌苗;3）胸径10～20 cm （2和3径级）栓皮栎母树的萌发率最高,80.0%的母树在环剥后能产生干基萌苗,并在2个生长季均能保存活萌苗,萌苗枯死率为0.0%～24.7%,萌苗高度、冠幅和基径均大于1径级和4径级母树的萌苗;4）单株干基萌苗数量随着母树径级的增加而先增大后减小,4径级母树胸径最大,产生干基萌苗的时间最晚,萌苗数量最少;5）各径级母树在环剥后第2年仍然能产生当年生萌苗,但只有2径级母树的2年生萌苗所占比例远多于1年生萌苗,3径级母树则相反,4径级母树只有1年生萌苗。【结论】在栓皮栎次生林改造和经营中,可提前1～2年对胸径在10～20 cm的间伐对象进行环剥,待其产生干基萌苗后再进行砍伐,这样有利于缩短间伐林地土壤的裸露时间,促进林地快速恢复。
