Chpt. 4: Planting Flashcards
In the United States, industry developed, nation consensus standards for nursery stock
ANSI Z60.1
Tree or plant dug and removed from the ground for replanting with roots wrapped in burlap or burlap-like fabric
balled-and-burlapped
Tree or plant removed from the ground for re-planting without soil around the roots
bare root
In biology, a taxonomic name consisting of a genus name and a species epithet, used to designate a species
binomial
Asexually produced organisms that are genetically identical
clone
A cultivated variety of plant, cannot be reproduced without human assistance. Usually propagated asexually (cloned).
cultivar
Area of forest, vegetation, parks, or open land surrounding a community
greenbelts
Plantings designed for the tops of structures (buildings) that increase the urban forest canopy
green roofs
Soil brought from one site to another
import soil
Species that originate and occur naturally on a site
indigenous species
Facilities and systems such as sewers, roads, utilities, etc serving a community
infrastructure
Non-native plant likely to spread, disrupting the natural balance of an ecosystem
invasive plant
In urban forestry, a tree population consisting of just one species
monoculture
Tissue restoration or new growth produced by an organism, In forestry, establishment of new trees, either naturally or replanted
regeneration
A forested area in a community containing native flora and fauna that has not been significantly altered from its natural structure.
remnant forests
Planting to provide new plant cover. Includes planting indigenous and site condition appropriate plants.
revegetation
Membranes or sheets installed vertically in the soil to re-direct or limit tree root growth
root barriers
In forestry, a measure of the existing tree density compared to what is considered optimal. In Urban forestry, the number of street trees present compared to the number of planting spaces available
stocking density
Pavement substrate that can be compacted to meet engineering specifications yet remains penetrable to tree roots in the urban environment. Composed of angular crushed stone, clay loam, and hydrogel mixed in a weight ratio of 100:20:0.03
structural soils
A paved surface that is reinforced and supported with piers or other structures so that it does not relay on compacted subgrade or soil for support
suspended pavements
A tube placed a tree seedling for protection and growth enhancement
tree shelters
In urban forestry, a population of trees that vary in age from young to old
uneven-aged stands
Naturally occurring subdivision of a species having a distinct difference and breeding true to that difference.
variety
The chemical, biological, and physical characteristics of a water source.
water quality
