Predicting the Value of Grey Alder (Alnus incana) Logs Based on External Quality
نویسنده
چکیده
The quality of grey alder logs (Alnus incana) was studied by sawing sample logs from two different forests in November 1995–February 1996. For grading of grey alder logs and sawn timber the proposed system of Keinänen and Tahvanainen (1995) plus the reject -grade was used. In general, grey alder logs have knots from the base to the top. All types of knots appear, and the length of the knot-free section is small at the base. In small-dimensioned logs there are fewer knots than in larger logs. Especially in large top logs, there were many more fresh knots than in other types of logs. Evidently, in different types of logs the different grades of sawn timber are located in comparable sections along the length. It also seems that the worse the grade class was, the longer was also the length of the class. The most common reasons for decreasing grade were dry knots and discoloration.

Characteristics of the Disease
There are four alder species native to Europe: the common alder (Alnus glutinosa), the grey alder (A. incana), the Italian alder (A. cordata) and the green alder (A. viridis). In general, members of the genus Alnus are pioneer species, able to colonise bare, open ground rapidly and with a great ability to tolerate wet sites. The roots have specialised nodules which fix atmospheric nitrogen as a...
متن کاملDe novo discovery and multiplexed amplification of microsatellite markers for black alder (Alnus glutinosa) and related species using SSR-enriched shotgun pyrosequencing.
Recent developments in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics analyses provide an unprecedented opportunity for cost and time effective high quality microsatellite marker discovery in nonmodel organisms for which no genomic information is available. Here, we use shotgun pyrosequencing of a microsatellite-enriched library to develop, for the first time, microsatellite markers for Alnus gluti...
متن کاملMolecular diversity of Frankia in root nodules of Alnus incana grown with inoculum from polluted urban soils.
ABSTRACT The establishment and growth of trees can be compromised by soil contamination which can reduce populations of key microbial symbionts. We describe the colonisation of grey alder (Alnus incana) by Frankia from 10 urban soils with varying degrees of organic and inorganic pollution. Principal components analysis (PCA) of soil chemical profiles showed a separation of remediated and unreme...

ABEYSEKERA, R. M., NEWCOMB, W . , SILVESTER, W. B., and TORREY, J. G. 1990. A freeze-fracture electron microscopic study of Frankia in root nodules of Alnus incana grown at three oxygen tensions. Can. J. Microbiol. 36: 97-108. Nodulated plants of Alnus incana ssp. rugosa and ssp. incana were grown with the roots exposed to 5,21, and 40 kPa 02. The nodules were studied by freeze-fracture transmi...
متن کاملIsolation of frankia strains from alder actinorhizal root nodules.
A simple procedure, based on the rapid filtration and washing of Frankia vesicle clusters, was devised for the isolation of Frankia strains from alder actinorhizal root nodules. Of 46 Alnus incana subsp. rugosa nodules prepared, 42 yielded isolates. A simple medium containing mineral salts, Casamino Acids, and sodium pyruvate proved to be the most effective for isolation. In general, colonies a...
