Biology Of Trees Flashcards
Abscission zone is
Found at the base or the leaf stalk, or petiole.
Serves two functions:
1: enables leaf drop
2: protects the region of the stem from pathogen.
Epicormic
Then dormant buds elongate and produce shoots, these shoots are called epicormic.
Adventitious buds are
Are produced along the stems or roots where primary meristems are not normally found.
Node
A slightly enlarged portion of a twig with leaf buds arise
Inter-node
Is the area between the nodes
Apical
Buds located at the end of the shoot or called apical
Ring porous
Trees that form wide vessels early in the growing season and now are vessels later in the season I called ring porous.
Ulmus
Quercus
Fraxinus
Diffuse porous
Trees the produce vessels in uniform size throughout the growing season.
Acer
Plantanus
Populus
Xylem has dead and live tissues
They are called
Symplasm is live
Apoplasm dead
Xylem of gymnosperms (pines) is composed of
Tracheids
Fibers
Parenchyma
Tracheids do what
Tracheids conduct water and provide mechanical support our elongated dead cells with pointy ends and second walls
Parenchyma cells do what
Parenchyma cells are living cells interspersed among the other xylem cells parenchyma cells are located in the outer layers of the xylem store carbohydrates help defend against decay and have a structural function across the green
meristems
The division of existing cells within a Tree occurs and specialized zones called meristems
Differentiation
Following division during the meristematic process, cells undergo differentiation which changes the structure and permits them to assume a variety of specific functions.
Two types of Meristems
Primary. Which produce cells that result in elongation of shoots and roots. (
Secondary. Known as lateral meristems which produce cells that result in increases in diameter
Meristematic growth happening in the shoots and root tips is called:
Primary growth
Meristems on the stem and branches is called
Presence of secondary meristems growing within the stands branches and roots producing wood are called: secondary growth
Two types of secondary or lateral meristems.
1: Cambium (produces vascular system/ xylem and phloem)
2: cork cambium produces bark (periderm)
Xylem has four functions:
1: conduction of water and dissolved minerals
2: supports tue weight of the tree
3: stores carbohydrate reserves
4: Defence against the spread of disease and a K
When cutting through a tree you cut in order
1: bark
Then
Bark Phloem Cambium Xylem Sapwood/heartwood
Anthocyanin and carotenoids are:
Red or purple pigment in deciduous trees. Anthocyanin
Yellow oranges and reds. Carotenoids
Root and root tip anatomy
Area where the roots join the main stem is called the root crown. Zone of rapid taper. Root hair Region of differentiation Region of elongation Meristematic zone Root cap
Amon-eye nut
A Specialize not used in keeping trees that has a large I for attaching a cable to a threaded rod
Angiosperm
A plant with seeds born with an Ovary consists of two large groups
Monocotyledons and dicotyledons.
Monocotyledons are
Grass
Palms
Dicotyledons are most
Most woody trees shrubs herbaceous plants
Antigibberellin
Plant growth regulator that inhibits the action of the plant hormone Gibberellin.
Auxin
Auxin is a plant growth regulator
Produced at the canopy shoot tips.
Important to root development.
Aumentation
The release of Beneficial organisms to suppress past insect or might populations
Biorational control product
Control product or pesticide formulate from naturally occurring plant extracts microbes microbial by products
A Disease or disorder regardless of the causal agent that kills young plant tissues is called
Blight
Tree cabling system that farms close to polygons is called a
Box cable system
Fungal wood rot characterized by the breakdown of cellulose is called
Brown rot
A metal knob to use to fix the ends of steel cable strands to terminate a cable installation is called a
Cable stop
Water held and capillary pores of the soil it’s called
Capillary water.
Much of this water can move in any direction is readily available to plant roots
Positively charged ions and soils are called
Cation.
How most abundant Catalans are calcium magnesium potassium sodium aluminum
ANION. Negative
And determining legal liability the test of Proximate cause and foreseeability of consequences is called a
Causation in fact
A chemical compound Keeps plant nutrients i.e. iron soluble and available for Plant absorption over broad range of pH is called
Chelate
So the particles of the typical brain size less than .004 mm it’s called
Clay
Knot used to secure a rope to an object is called a
Clove hitch
Specialize cell in the angiosperms phloem from the same parents cell as the closely associated, immediately adjacent to the sive tube members is called
Companion cell
Contact pesticide
Materials that cause Pest injury or death on contact
Conventional notch is
45° night with a horizontal bottom cut
Containerized
Field grown Plant placed in a container for a time and then sold as a potted plant
CTLA
Council tree and landscape appraisers
Cytokinin
Cytokinins are produced in the roots.
instrumental in shoot initiation and growth.
Excurrent and
Decurrent
Excurrent is pyramid in shape
Decurrent is rounded
The plant with two cotyledons in it’s embryo is called a
Dicotyledon
Method of tying a root ball of a ball and burlap tree for moving is colder
Drum lace
The method of non-rigid materials for supporting a Tree or cabling is called
Dynamic cabling system
Arising from. Latent advantageous bud is called what kind of growth
Epicormic growth
The loss of water by evaporation from the soil surface and transpiration by plants is called
Evapotranspiration
A group of plants within a species having distinct variations that occur sporadically and naturally it’s called
Forma
And landscape find a set of goals pertaining to the future needs and function of the site are called
Functional goals
Constructed in animate elements of a landscape such as walls pathways in seats made of wood stone or other materials are called
Hard scape
Cutting and shoot back to abide or cutting branches back to Bud’s stubs or lateral branch is not large enough to assume apical dominance is called
Heading cut or heading back cut
