Xylary fluid pH and reduction potentials were measured on silver maple (Acer saccharinum L.) grown under Fe and pH stress. Although pH and reduction potential (millivolt/59.2) varied significantly in the nutrient solution, xylary pH and reduction potential remained constant. It was concluded that changes in the pH and reduction potential in the xylary fluid of silver maple are not responsible f...

Yamatochaitophorus yichunensis sp. n. is described from specimens collected in northeast China on Acer tegmentosum (Aceraceae). Yamatochaitophorus is also a new generic record for China. Type specimens are deposited in the National Zoological Museum of China, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China (NZMC) and the Natural History Museum, London, UK (BMNH).

Quantitative comparisons of distribution and abundance of exotic species in their native and non-native ranges represent a fi rst step when studying invaders. However, this approach is rarely applied particularly to tree species. Using biogeographical contrasts coupled with regional dispersal surveys, we assessed whether two exotic maple tree species, Acer negundo and Acer platanoides , can be ...

In this study, two-year-old bare-root Acer negundo and pseudoplatanus seedlings were grown indoors (control vs. drought-stressed) outside the hoop house to examine leaf gas exchange parameters in late growing period. Besides morphological features, several parameters, such as net photosynthetic rate (Anet), transpiration (E), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular CO2 ambient (Ci/Ca), water u...
