Land-use History and Its Role in Sustaining Oak Forests
INTRODUCTION As the Wisconsin ice sheets retreated to the North toward the end of the Pleistocene Epoch, tundra and boreal vegetation that had dominated the Central Hardwood Region began to be replaced by hardwood species. Spurred on by the warming climate and the widespread use of fire by Native Americans, oaks (Quercus spp.) gradually dominated the region (Abrams 2002, Carroll and others 2002).
متن کاملPostglacial history of subalpine forests, Olympic Peninsula, Washington, USA
To investigate subalpine vegetation history on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington (USA), two pollen, macrofossil and charcoal records were studied in climatically distinct zones: Martins Lake (1415 m) in the moist Tsuga mertensiana zone and Moose Lake (1508 m) in the drier Abies lasiocarpa zone. The interpretation of fossil pollen assemblages was aided by comparisons with 308 modern assemblages ...
متن کاملReduction of phenolics in mycorrhizas of Larix decidua Mill.
Soluble and cell-wall-bound phenolics in mycorrhizas of Larix decidua-Laccaria amethystea and in nonmycorrhizal fine roots of larch grown in sterile culture were analyzed by HPLC. The soluble phenolics p-hydroxybenzoylglucose, p-hydroxybenzoic acid glucoside, picein, catechin, and epicatechin were identified in nonmycorrhizal fine roots. The same phenolics also occurred in mycorrhizas, but only...
متن کاملExternal Costs as Driving Forces of Land Use Changes
Land conversion is often not carried out in a sustainable way. The loss of arable land and biodiversity, concern about food security and rising costs of infrastructure due to urban sprawl are just some of the problems under discussion. This paper compares Germany, China and Cambodia. The article points out that, despite huge differences in institutions and governance, unsustainable land use cha...
متن کاملLarix decidua Bark as a Source of Phytoconstituents: An LC-MS Study.
Larix decidua bark is a waste of the timber industry and is widely diffused in Northern Italy. This material can be considered a good source of antioxidants and phytoconstituents with possible use in cosmetic or nutraceutical products. In this study, simple extraction of larch bark was performed using mixtures of ethanol/water. Furthermore, the phytochemical composition of larch bark extract wa...
