Fertilizer Nitrogen Uptake and Partitioning in Young and Mature Common Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) Trees
Authors: Werner L.P. , Jull L.G.
Published: September 2021

Twenty-one mature and thirty-six young common hackberry (Celtis occidentalis L.) trees received a single application of 15N double isotope enriched ammonium-nitrate (NH4NO3) fertilizer. Application rates were 0, 0.49, and 1.47 kg N 100 m-2 of canopy coverage, respectively. Foliage, current season stem wood, stem wood, root, and fruit tissues were analyzed for total concentration [N] and nitrogen derived from fertilizer (NDFF). Growth phase and application rate did not consistently affect total % [N], particularly the N demanding foliage. Growth phase and application rate significantly affected the percentage of NDFF. In every instance, NDFF was highest in the tissues of young trees and/or trees receiving the 1.47 kg N 100 m-2 application rate. Mature trees relied upon previously assimilated N to meet the annual demand for N to a greater extent than young trees.
Water Management Strategies for Urban Trees in Dry Environments: Lessons for the Future
Authors: Symes Peter , Connellan Geoff
Published: September 2021

The maintenance and expansion of urban forests is a major challenge in periods of low rainfall and restricted availability of appropriate-quality water sources for trees. The recent drought in eastern Australia has highlighted the need for innovation and new approaches to ensure tree health is preserved. Responses adopted by the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and others have involved investigations into species more suited to changing climate conditions, assessment of tree and landscape water demand, understanding the hydrology of the site, effective irrigation delivery, management of the soil reservoir to optimize harvested stormwater, and provide soil water reserves for future high demand summer periods.
Subtropical–Tropical Urban Tree Water Relations and Drought Stress Response Strategies
Authors: Kjelgren Roger , Joyce Daryl , Doley David
Published: September 2021

Understanding native habitats of species successful as subtropical and tropical urban trees yield insights into how to minimize urban tree water deficit stress experienced during monsoonal dry periods. Equatorial and montane wet forest species rarely subject to drought are generally absent in subtropical and tropical cities with pronounced monsoonal dry seasons. Species native to monsoonal dry forests appear to have wide environmental tolerances, and are successful as urban trees in many tropical cities. Monsoonal dry forest species have a tendency to be deep rooted to avoid drought, with leaf habits falling along an avoidance to tolerance spectrum. Dry deciduous species, typically found on more fertile soils, maximize growth during the monsoonal wet season with high photosynthesis and transpiration rates, then defoliate to avoid stress during the dry season. Evergreen tree species, typically found on less fertile soils, have a higher carbon investment in leaves that photosynthesize and transpire less year-round than do dry deciduous species. Dry deciduous tree species are more common urban trees than dry evergreen species explicitly due to more ornamental floral displays, but also implicitly due to their ability to adjust timing and duration of defoliation in response to drought. An empirical study of three tropical species exhibiting a range of leaf habits showed isohydric behavior that moderates transpiration and conserves soil water during drying. However, dry evergreen species may be less adaptable to tropical urban conditions of pronounced drought, intense heat, and limited rooting volumes than dry deciduous species with malleable leaf habit.
Relative Resistance or Susceptibility of Landscape-suitable Elms (Ulmus spp.) to Multiple Insect Pests
Authors: Potter Daniel , Redmond Carl
Published: September 2021

The National Elm Trial is a cooperative project to assess landscape suitability of Dutch elm disease-resistant elms (Ulmus spp.) in various regions of the United States. Researchers evaluated 20 cultivars of American, Asian, and hybrid elms for relative resistance or susceptibility to multiple insect pests in central Kentucky over seven years. Ratings for Japanese beetle, European elm flea weevil (EEFW), and several other pests were previously published. This paper reports data for seven additional pests, including honeydew-excreting scale insects (Parthenolecanium corni, Eriococcus spuria, and Pulvinaria innumerabilis), leaf-distorting woolly elm and woolly apple aphids (Eriosoma spp.), elm cockscomb gall aphid (Colopha ulmicola), and an invasive weevil (Oedophrys hilleri) not previously known to damage elms. Rankings for all 12 of the monitored pests are summarized. Most U. americana cultivars were relatively susceptible to the scale insects and likewise, Eriosoma spp. and C. ulmicola only infested the American elms. O. hilleri is a new state record for Kentucky. Its adults, active in mid- to late summer, chewed notches in edges of leaves. Cultivars of the Asian species U. parvifolia and U. propinqua, including ‘Athena Classic Lacebark’, ‘Everclear Lacebark’, ‘Emer II Allee’, and ‘Emerald Sunshine’ were top-rated for insect resistance. They were nearly pest-free except for foliar damage by EEFW, to which nearly all elms were susceptible. Insect resistance should be considered when re-introducing elms to urban landscapes. The data may help city foresters, landscapers, and others re-introducing elms to urban landscapes to select relatively pest-free cultivars requiring minimal inputs for insect control.
Container Production Strategies Influence Root Ball Morphology
Authors: Gilman Edward F. , Paz Maria
Published: September 2021

Poor anchorage and delayed establishment have been associated with root circling and ascending, descending, and kinked roots occurring in nursery containers. à e main goal of this study was to find methods of producing from seedSwietenia mahagoni(L.) Jacq. with straight, non-deformed roots. In contrast to smooth-sided (SM) propagation containers (liners), roots grown in pots constructed of thin paper were straight with few deflections. Root pruning 12-month-old SM liners when shifting to 3.8 L containers dramatically reduced the imprint on the root system left by root deflections. Aggressive growth at the bottom of 3.8 L and 9.5 L smooth-sided containers appeared to inhibit growth in horizontal roots closer to the substrate surface, and resulted in a vertically oriented root system. In contrast, growing trees in 3.8 L and 9.5 L containers with exceptionally porous walls produced a more horizontal-oriented root system similar to well-anchored trees in the landscape. Vertical roots were discouraged from developing due to an elevated and porous bottom, forcing roots to grow more horizontally higher in the root ball profile. Root deflections increased with retention time in all containers.
Environmental Justice and Factors that Influence Participation in Tree Planting Programs in Portland, Oregon, U.S.
Authors: Donovan Geoffrey , Mills John
Published: September 2021

Many cities have policies encouraging homeowners to plant trees. For these policies to be effective, it is important to understand what motivates a homeowner’s tree-planting decision. Researchers address this question by identifying variables that influence participation in a tree-planting program in Portland, Oregon, U.S. According to the study, homeowners with street trees, and those living in older homes, are more likely to participate in the local program. Homeowners who had owned their homes for longer, and those who live in census-block groups with lower high-school graduation rates, are less likely to participate in the program. Results suggest that tree-planting programs may inadvertently exacerbate environmental inequality.
Failure of Foliar-Applied Biostimulants to Enhance Drought and Salt Tolerance in Urban Trees
Authors: Banks Jonathan , Percival Glynn
Published: September 2021

Urban environments present an array of environmental conditions detrimental to the biology of trees. Two major problems include deicing salts, a common soil pollutant, and drought. One potential option for managing these enviro mental disorders may be through the application of commercially available biostimulants, as these products are reported to enhance a plant's resistance to environmental stresses. Trials used containerized stock of evergreen oak (Quercus ilex), holly (Ilex aquifolium), rowan (Sorbus aucuparia), and beech (Fagus sylvatica) to evaluate the effectiveness of seven commercially available biostimulants as drought and salt protectant compounds. Results conclude that none of the biostimulants evaluated in this study provided any significant degree of salt or drought damage protection compared to water-treated controls.
Watering Strategy, Collective Action, and Neighborhood-Planted Trees: A Case Study of Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.
Authors: Mincey Sarah , Vogt Jessica
Published: September 2021

A growing number of municipalities and nonprofits work with private citizens to co-produce the public benefits associated with urban forests by providing sizeable young trees to neighborhoods that agree to plant and water the trees for the critical first few years after planting. Little research has addressed the effectiveness of such programs or the extent to which variation in neighborhood maintenance and watering strategies may be related to biophysical and social outcomes. Without such knowledge, tree-planting investments are at risk of being a sink of public or charitable funds. This paper presents a case study of Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, Inc.’s neighborhood tree plantings in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S., where researchers explored the relationship of neighborhood watering strategies with planted-tree outcomes, and with subsequent collective activities. The study authors observed neighborhood variation in whether trees were watered by individuals or collectively (groups of individuals), whether signed watering commitments were utilized, whether monitoring of watering occurred, and whether monitoring and subsequent sanctioning (when necessary) changed watering behavior. Results demonstrate that collective watering, signed watering agreements, and monitoring/sanctioning that changed behavior were positively associated with tree survival. Collective watering was also positively associated with subsequent collective activities, such as a neighborhood clean-up or block party. Such findings can improve the guidance offered by municipalities and nonprofits to neighborhoods for the management of successful tree-planting projects, and can ultimately improve the survival, growth, and thereby benefits provided by neighborhood-planted trees.
Review of Host Trees for the Wood-Boring Pests Anoplophora glabripennis and Anoplophora chinensis: An Urban Forest Perspective
Authors: Sjöman Henrik , Östberg Johan , Nilsson Johan
Published: September 2021

Two devastating insect pests have been introduced to North America and Europe – the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) (Anoplophora glabripennis) and the citrus longhorned beetle (CLB) (Anoplophora chinensis). These two wood-boring beetles are argued to be one of the most serious threats to the tree landscape since they have a large number of host species and genera. With the aim of creating an up-to-date compilation of these hosts, a systematic review was made of the literature for information on tree species attacked and used by ALB and CLB as hosts for complete life cycle or for feeding. This review revealed that a large number of tree species and genera are liable to be attacked by ALB and CLB. However, based on the findings, the whole picture is still unclear. One reason for this is the lack of transparency in published studies regarding lists of susceptible tree species for ALB and CLB. Another factor that needs to be reported is whether a tree species supports the complete life cycle of the beetles or just feeding by adult beetles. Without this information, species possessing moderate host qualities are at risk of being incorrectly labelled as very good hosts and hence excluded as urban trees.
The Management of Tree Root Systems in Urban and Suburban Settings: A Review of Soil Influence on Root Growth
Authors: Watson Gary , Hewitt Angela , Custic Melissa , Lo Marvin
Published: September 2021

The physical, chemical, and biological constraints of urban soils often pose limitations for the growth of tree roots. An understanding of the interrelationships of soil properties is important for proper management. As a result of the interdependence of soil properties, the status of one soil factor can have an effect on all others. Preventing soil damage is most effective and preferred. Cultural practices, such as cultivation and mulching, can be effective in improving soil properties. Soil additives, such as biostimulant products, have not proven to be consistently effective through research. The management challenge is to provide an urban environment that functions like the natural environment.
Comparative Assessment of Phosphite Formulations for Apple Scab (Venturia inaequalis) Control
Authors: Hailey Luke , Percival Glynn
Published: September 2021

Potassium phosphite is a widely used plant protection agent. However, a suite of phosphite formulations with alternative cation attachments (calcium, copper, silicon, zinc) are commercially available. The plant protective properties of these formulations have received little attention. This study evaluated five phosphite formulations for plant protection purposes against the foliar pathogen apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) under field conditions. In addition, a comparative analysis against the synthetic fungicide penconazole, which is widely used for apple scab control, was conducted. Greatest reductions in leaf and fruit scab severity were achieved by sprays of the synthetic fungicide penconazole. However, all phosphite formulations evaluated significantly reduced leaf and fruit scab severity at the cessation of the growing season. Within the phosphites tested, the greatest reductions in leaf and fruit scab severity were achieved in the order: copper phosphite > silicon phosphite > zinc phosphite > calcium phosphite > potassium phosphite > control. The advantages and disadvantages of these phosphite formulations for scab control are discussed.
Is the Radial Growth of Irrigated Urban Trees More Strongly Correlated to Light and Temperature than Water?
Authors: Griffin Kevin , Harris Thomas , Bruner Sarah , McKenzie Patrick , Hise Jeremy
Published: September 2021

Background: Real-time monitoring of tree growth can provide novel information about trees in urban/suburban areas and the myriad ecosystem services they provide. By monitoring irrigated specimen trees, we tested the hypothesis that in trees with sufficient water, growth is governed by environmental factors regulating energy gain rather than by factors related to water use. Methods: Internet-enabled, high-resolution dendrometers were installed on 3 trees in Southampton, NY, USA. The instruments, along with a weather station, streamed data to a project web page that was updated once an hour. Growing periods were determined using a Hidden Markov Model based on a zero-growth model. Linear models and conditional inference trees correlated environmental variables to growth magnitude and rate of growth. Results: Growth was governed by the interacting environmental variables of air temperature, soil moisture, vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and took place primarily at night. Radial growth of spruce began April 14 after the accumulation of 69.7 °C growing degree days and ended September 7. Cedar growth began later (April 26) after the accumulation of 160.6 °C and ended later (November 3). During the observation period, these 3 modest suburban trees sequestered 115.1 kg of CO2. Conclusions: Though irrigated, residential tree growth in our experiment was affected by environmental factors relating to both water use and energy gain through photosynthesis. Linking tree growth to fluctuations in environmental conditions facilitates the development of a predictive understanding useful for ecosystem management and growth forecasting across future altering climates.

WOMEN ARTISTS OF THE LATE 19TH CENTURY: CONTINUITY AND CHANGE AT THE SUNSET OF IMPERIAL CHINA
Authors: Zhou Xiaoqin  , Haji Baharudin bin Haji Mohd Arus
Published: September 2021

Increasing attention to the history of Chinese women artists gives further impetus to re-evaluation of their artistic contribution. Here I focus on developments in women’s art in the later part of the 19th century, entering into an interrogation of the assumption that the century had witnessed its decline in tandem with the decline of the Imperial China itself. A focus of the article is the 2017 Zhejiang exhibition, which has served to further intensify the imperative for research. Adopting a perspective based on gender and class, this paper examines the work of the female Chinese artists of the late 19th century both in the traditional Jiangnan area, which had been the epicentre of culture and economy, and in the newly developing trade areas, most notably Shanghai. There a vibrant art market emerged, bringing significant opportunities for women artists from broader social strata. This dynamic is illustrated by the particular example of Ren Xia. In these circumstances significant changes took place in the context of the presence of continuity in women’s aesthetic production, while a traditional male discourse remained hegemonic.
Hyperbolic Medicine: General and Local Hyperbolic Curves on Earth, Influencing Human Physiology
Authors: González-González Jesús M.
Published: September 2021

The objective of this work is to study the hyperbolic space-time curves that we perceive in our daily lives through images obtained in different geographical locations on Earth. A bibliographic review of scientific works has been made on hyperbolic curves in medicine, electromagnetic fields, circadian rhythms, and space-time perpendicular to the movement of an organ. On the internet, images in conical perspective have been selected, of cities located at different longitudes and latitudes within the geography of the Earth. They have tried to identify hyperbolic space-time curves. They have then been compared with the hyperbolic curves of the Earth’s magnetic field. Finally, we determine its relationship with the hyperbolic curves of human physiology. We have as conclusions: 1. Human vision is hyperbolic because the space in which we live is deformed by “general hyperbolic curves” that exist at any longitude and latitude of the earth’s geography. 2. The lines of force of the Earth’s magnetic field are hyperbolas that follow “local hyperbolic curves” since they can vary in intensity and even reverse their polarity over time. 3. In the physiology of the human body there are hyperbolic curves that are similar to the lines of force of a magnet and the magnetic field of the Earth. Human physiology can be conditioned by general hyperbolic curves and by local hyperbolic curves. There is an adaptation to that hyperbolic deformation of the space in which we live.

Published: September 2021

Este artigo apresenta uma breve reflexão teórica sobre a prática educativa emancipatória. Para sistematização da análise, optamos, inicialmente, por resgatar a definição de práxis e de prática educativa, entendendo que esta última é uma forma de materialização da primeira. Na sequência abordamos, de forma mais específica, sobre a prática educativa no contexto da escola. Procuramos também, mesmo que brevemente, relacionar prática educativa e política educacional. Para sistematização deste trabalho, resgatamos as compreensões sedimentadas a partir do estudo de autores, como: Freire (1980; 2011), Kosik (2002), Vasquez (2007), Marques e Carvalho (2016) e Saviani (2018). O estudo realizado evidenciou: a) a prática educativa, como uma forma de práxis, uma atividade que é própria do homem, deve ser entendida como atividade intencional e reflexiva; b) a prática educativa emancipatória pressupõe que o verdadeiro aprendizado é fruto da visão crítica, adquirida por meio da reflexividade; c) as práticas educativas, desenvolvidas no contexto da escola, devem considerar o educando como sujeito e a busca do conhecimento deve ser pautada na ação comunicativa, no pensamento crítico e na emancipação.

Abstract. An accurate emission inventory is a crucial part of air
pollution management and is essential for air quality modelling. One source
in an emission inventory, an industrial source, has been known with high
uncertainty in both location and magnitude in China. In this study, a new
reallocation method based on blue-roof industrial buildings was developed to
replace the conventional method of using population density for the Chinese
emission development. The new method utilized the zoom level 14 satellite
imagery (i.e. Google®) and processed it based on hue,
saturation, and value (HSV) colour classification to derive new spatial
surrogates for province-level reallocation, providing more realistic spatial
patterns of industrial PM2.5 and NO2 emissions in China. The
WRF-CMAQ-based PATH-2016 model system was then applied with the new
processed industrial emission input in the MIX inventory to simulate air
quality in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) area (formerly called Pearl River
Delta, PRD). In the study, significant root mean square error (RMSE)
improvement was observed in both summer and winter scenarios in 2015 when
compared with the population-based approach. The average RMSE reductions
(i.e. 75 stations) of PM2.5 and NO2 were found to be
11 µg m−3 and 3 ppb, respectively. Although the new method for allocating
industrial sources did not perform as well as the point- and area-based
industrial emissions obtained from the local bottom-up dataset, it still
showed a large improvement over the existing population-based method. In
conclusion, this research demonstrates that the blue-roof industrial
allocation method can effectively identify scattered industrial sources in
China and is capable of downscaling the industrial emissions from regional
to local levels (i.e. 27 to 3 km resolution), overcoming the technical
hurdle of ∼ 10 km resolution from the top-down or bottom-up
emission approach under the unified framework of emission calculation.

Abstract. We present a source apportionment study of a near-continuous 2-year dataset of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), recorded between October 2017 and November 2019 with a quadrupole-based high-sensitivity proton-transfer-reaction mass-spectrometry (hs-PTR-MS) instrument deployed at the Maïdo observatory (21.1∘ S, 55.4∘ E, 2160 m altitude). The observatory is located on La Réunion island in the southwest Indian Ocean. We discuss seasonal and diel profiles of six key VOC species unequivocally linked to specific sources – acetonitrile (CH3CN), isoprene (C5H8), isoprene oxidation products (Iox), benzene (C6H6), C8-aromatic compounds (C8H10), and dimethyl sulfide (DMS). The data are analyzed using the positive matrix factorization (PMF) method and back-trajectory calculations based on the Lagrangian mesoscale transport model FLEXPART-AROME to identify the impact of different sources on air masses sampled at the observatory. As opposed to the biomass burning tracer CH3CN, which does not exhibit a typical diel pattern consistently throughout the dataset, we identify pronounced diel profiles with a daytime maximum for the biogenic (C5H8 and Iox) and anthropogenic (C6H6, C8H10) tracers. The marine tracer DMS generally displays a daytime maximum except for the austral winter when the difference between daytime and nighttime mixing ratios vanishes. Four factors were identified by the PMF: background/biomass burning, anthropogenic, primary biogenic, and secondary biogenic. Despite human activity being concentrated in a few coastal areas, the PMF results indicate that the anthropogenic source factor is the dominant contributor to the VOC load (38 %), followed by the background/biomass burning source factor originating in the free troposphere (33 %), and by the primary (15 %) and secondary biogenic (14 %) source factors. FLEXPART-AROME simulations showed that the observatory was most sensitive to anthropogenic emissions west of Maïdo while the strongest biogenic contributions coincided with air masses passing over the northeastern part of La Réunion. At night, the observatory is often located in the free troposphere, while during the day, the measurements are influenced by mesoscale sources. Interquartile ranges of nighttime 30 min average mixing ratios of methanol (CH3OH), CH3CN, acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), formic acid (HCOOH), acetone (CH3COCH3), acetic acid (CH3COOH), and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), representative for the atmospheric composition of the free troposphere, were found to be 525–887, 79–110, 61–101, 172–335, 259–379, 64–164, and 11–21 pptv, respectively.

Abstract. Gradual riparian wetland drying is increasingly sensitive to
global warming and contributes to climate change. Riparian wetlands play a
significant role in regulating carbon and nitrogen cycles. In this study, we
analyzed the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and
nitrous oxide (N2O) from riparian wetlands in the Xilin River basin to
understand the role of these ecosystems in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Moreover, the impact of the catchment hydrology and soil property variations
on GHG emissions over time and space was evaluated. Our results demonstrate
that riparian wetlands emit larger amounts of CO2 (335–2790 mgm-2h-1 in the wet season and 72–387 mgm-2h-1 in the dry season) than CH4
and N2O to the atmosphere due to high plant and soil respiration. The
results also reveal clear seasonal variations and spatial patterns along the
transects in the longitudinal direction. N2O emissions showed a
spatiotemporal pattern similar to that of CO2 emissions. Near-stream
sites were the only sources of CH4 emissions, while the other sites
served as sinks for these emissions. Soil moisture content and soil
temperature were the essential factors controlling GHG emissions, and
abundant aboveground biomass promoted the CO2, CH4, and N2O
emissions. Moreover, compared to different types of grasslands, riparian
wetlands were the potential hotspots of GHG emissions in the Inner Mongolian
region. Degradation of downstream wetlands has reduced the soil carbon pool
by approximately 60 %, decreased CO2 emissions by approximately
35 %, and converted the wetland from a CH4 and N2O source to a
sink. Our study showed that anthropogenic activities have extensively
changed the hydrological characteristics of the riparian wetlands and might
accelerate carbon loss, which could further affect GHG emissions.
