Abstract: Two exotic plant species, Berberis thunbergii and Microstegium vimineum, recently have invaded deciduous hardwood forests in the Northeast. We examined changes in soil properties that may be associated with this invasion in three parks in northern New Jersey. In each park, we collected soil and vegetation data along transects that were established across heavily infested areas and extended into uninvaded forest. The data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). Significant differences were found between invaded and uninvaded plots in both soil and vegetation characteristics. Invaded areas have fewer oaks (Quercus spp.) in the canopy, and lack the native understory shrubs (Vaccinium spp.). The pH of soils in the invaded areas is significantly higher than in the uninvaded areas, and the litter and organic horizons are thinner. The data cannot show that the exotic species have caused these changes. However, the occurrence of contrasting soils in adjacent areas of native vegetation, with no evidence of differences in land-use history between areas, suggests that such a cause-and-effect relationship exists. We propose a feedback loop involving the exotic plants, and the presence of earthworms to explain these dramatic soil differences.

Title: Invasion of deciduous forest preserves in the New York metropolitan region by Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii).
Author: Ehrenfeld Joan G.

Source Type: Journal
Publication Date: 1997
Abstract: Japanese barberry has become a common component of understory vegetation in deciduous forests throughout central and northern New Jersey and adjacent areas of Pennsylvania and New York. A survey was carried out by soliciting data from the public concerning the occurrence of the plant in forest preserves in the New York metropolitan region. The resulting information showed that this exotic species is present within the forest interior in at least 43 protected forest areas. In the majority of these areas, the species occurs in extensive patches of moderate to very high density. Although known to some resource managers, the spread of this exotic species into intact forest has not previously been reported. The widespread growth of B. thunbergii may threaten the ability of small to moderate-sized forest reserves to serve as a refuge for native plant species.

Title: Reports on the flora of the Province Salzburg.

Abstract: As a result of intensiv floristic investigations during the last 9 years a list with records of 288 species and subspecies from the province of Salzburg is presented. Carex divulsa, Centaurea jacea ssp. macroptilon, Dianthus monspesulanus ssp. waldsteinii, Epipactis leptochila, Festuca diffusa, Pseudolysimachion orchideum, Utricularia australis and Vicia tenuifolia are new for the indigenous flora of Salzburg; after being believed extincted in our province Arabis sagittata, Hieracium cymosum, Ononisfoetens, Orobanche lucorum, Orobanche minor, Orobanche teucrii, Poa stiriaca and Typha angustifolia have been discovered actually. From Acer saccharinum, Atriplex heterosperma, Atriplex sgittata, Berberis thunbergii, Bergenia crassifolia, Clematis tangutica, Deutzia scabra, Fallopia abertii, Hordium hystrix, Lathyrus odoratus, Micorrhinum littorale, Morus alba, Oenothera chicagoensis, Phytolacca americana, Platanus X hispanica, Potentilla fruticosa, Quercus rubra, Rosa multiflora, Rubus odoratus, Salvia officinalis, Satureja hortensis, Saxifraga sarmentosa, Sedum hybridum, Solanum nigrum ssp. schultesii, Spiraea salicifolia, Syringa vulgaris, Thalictrum flavum, Viola papilionacea and Vitis vinifera adventiv records with different tendencies of naturalisation are given. For many taxa notes on their known distribution in Salzburg and on their Red List status are presented. For Festuca pallens, Pseudolysimachion orchideum, Centaureajacea ssp. macroptilon, Dianthus monspesulanus ssp. waldsteinii and Polygala vulgaris ssp. oxyptera the historical development of the actual distribution boundaries is discussed. The isolated populations are interpreted as a relict of warm periods during the postglacial epoch.

Abstract: Nineteen container grown landscape species were evaluated for tolerance to postemergence (topical) applications of Basagran (bentazon) at 1.1 and 2.2 kg ai/ha (1 and 2 lb ai/A). Visual injury ratings were made at 14 and 37 days after treatment and growth measurements at the end of the study. Both rates of Basaeran were phytotoxic to Amagasa Azalea (Rhododendron satsuki 'Amagasa'), Crimson Pygmy Barberry (Berberis thunbergii D.C. 'Crimson Pygmy'), Coral Beauty Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster dammeri C.K. 'Coral Beauty'), Heavenly Bamboo (Nandina domestica Thunb.) and Holmstrup Arbovitae (Thuja occidentalis L. 'Homstrup') 14 days after treatment. Azalea and Heavenly Bamboo treated with the low rate recovered from the earlier injury by 37 days after treatment. Sasanqua Camellia (Camellia sasanqua Thunb. 'Cleopatra'). Rotunda Holly (Ilex cornuta Lindl. and Paxt. 'Rotunda') and Schellings Dwarf Yaupon Holly (Ilex vomitoria Ait. 'Schellings'), Hetzi Blue Chinese Juniper (Juniperus chinensis L. 'Hetzi 1. Glauca'). and Wax-Leaf Privet (Ligustrum japonicum Thunb.) exhibited no visual damage or growth reduction. The remaining species were injured to differing degrees.
