Proteomic Evaluation and Cytotoxicity of Red Maple (Acer rubrum) Leaves
<p>Red maple (<em>Acer rubrum</em>), also known as swamp, water or soft maple, is endemic to eastern and central North America and was widely used as traditional medicine by the first peoples. Commercially, its well-known products include maple syrup and high-quality lumber. The potential medicinal …

Assessment of Genetic Variation of Acer rubrum L. and Liriodendron tulipifera L. Populations in Unmanaged Forests of the Southeast United States
Acer rubrum L. and Liriodendron tulipifera L. are prolific throughout their ranges in the Southeastern U.S. and also have increasingly important roles in forestry and wood products in this region. The relatively low density and intermediate strength of the wood makes them versatile for use in many …

The effects of rhizosphere inundation on the growth and physiology of red maple (Acer rubrum L.) seedlings derived from wet and dry sites
Red maple seedlings grown from fruits collected from matched wet and dry sites from three physiographic regions of Virginia were flooded to test whether red maple seedlings derived from wet sites are affected differently by flooding than are seedlings derived from dry sites. Thirteen weeks of soil …

Density and Age Distributions of Trees in Upland and Lowland Oldfields 60 Years After Abandonment: The Role of Dispersal
… a predominantly bird-dispersed species; Acer rubrum, a predominantly winddispersed species; and Fagus grandifolia, a predominantly mammal-dispersed species. The establishment patterns observed by others in recently abandoned oldfields were not maintained in the sixty-year-old fields …

A study of basidiomycetes isolated from coarse woody debris and contiguous soil horizons in a mixed deciduous-conifer forest in New Hampshire, United States of America
… fruiting bodies (October 1997 & 1998), Acer rubrum L. bole wood (June 1999), and three soil horizons (October 1999 and October 2000) from one of six research sites in the Bartlett Experimental Forest, New Hampshire. The dominant tree species at these research sites, determined by basal …

Growth and stand dynamics of Red maple-dominated forests in the Upper Great Lakes Region, USA
Red maple (Acer rubrum L.) was historically a common but not abundant tree species in North American temperate forests. Over the last several decades it has increased in abundance on upland sites throughout its range and today is perhaps the single most abundant tree species in eastern North …

Stress Physiology of Phytophthora-canker Pathogens in Landscape Trees: impacts, mechanisms, and mitigation through biochar amendment
… stem cankers caused by Phytophthora cactorum in Acer rubrum seedlings, 2) if biochar amendment induces resistance to canker causing Phytophthora pathogens and how this resistance is related to the amount of biochar amendment in two common landscape tree species: Quercus rubra (L.) and Acer rubrum …

Influence of Transplanting Practices on Growth and Embolism Levels For Urban Tree Species
… between Fraxinus americana L. (white ash) and Acer rubrum L. x saccharinum L. (hybrid red maple), but data suggested white ash stem samples should not be stored more than one day, especially for between-species comparisons. A greenhouse experiment investigated the growth and embolism levels for …

Interactive Effects of Imazapyr plus Triclopyr Ester and Imazapyr plus Glyphosate Mixtures on Woody Weed Seedlings
… sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum), black locust (Robinia psuedoacacia), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), water oak (Quercus nigra) and cabbage palmetto (Sabel palmetto). The seedlings were rapidly screened and percent mortality, height and dry weight measurements were …

Species, stand, and regional response to forest damage in southwestern Quebec following the 1998 ice storm
The response of four tree species, Acer saccharum Marsh., Acer rubrum L., Populus tremuloides Michx., and Betula populifolia Marsh. to ice storm damage was studied in the Northern Hardwood Forest of southwestern Quebec, Canada. The focus of the study was the analysis of tree damage resulting from …

Stand Dynamics in a Southern Appalachian Montane Pine Barren, Warm Springs Mountain, Virginia
… of age classes and shade tolerant trees such as Acer rubrum (L.) and Pinus strobus (L.) are beginning to establish. A dense understory of ericaceous shrubs and a thick litter layer appear to inhibit recruitment of P. rigida and other early successional species pointing to the need for active …

Effects of Tornado Damage, Prescribed Fire, and Salvage Logging on Oak (Quercus Spp.) Saplings in Upland Oak Forests in Northern Mississippi
… by mesophytic species such as red maple (Acer rubrum L.) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.). Partial thinning of trees folloby prescribed fire can regenerate oaks in managed timber stands. A severe tornado occurred on a monitored oak stand in northern Mississippi. Of the damaged …

Soil based vegetation productivity modeling for a northern Michigan surface mining region
… oats, alfalfa/hay, Irish potatoes, red maple (Acer rubrum L.), white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss), red pine (Pinus resinosa Aniton), eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.), jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.), and lilac (Syringa vulgaris L.). Soil attributes that were examined in this …

Structural Features Related to Tree Crotch Strength
Crotches were cut out of red maple (Acer rubrum), callery pear (Pyrus calleryana), and sawtooth oak (Quercus acutissima) trees (2.5â -7â d.b.h.) and then pulled apart in an engineering testing machine to identify physical parameters correlated with crotch strength. Parameters measured included the …

Rehabilitation of Severely Compacted Urban Soil to Improve Tree Establishment and Growth
… compacting subsoil to 1.95 g/cm3 bulk density. Acer rubrum L. (red maple), Quercus bicolor Willd. (swamp white oak), Ulmus 'Morton' (Ulmus japonica (Rehd.) Sarg. x Ulmus wilsoniana Schneid.) (Accolade® elm), Prunus 'First Lady' (Prunus xincam x Prunus campanulata) L. and Quercus macrocarpa …

Trees and Structural Soil as a Stormwater Management System in Urban Settings
… soil infiltration rate. Quercus velutina, Acer rubrum, and a no-tree variant were planted in 26.5 L (7 gal) containers and the rootballs surrounded by compacted clay loam. Roots grew into all layers of the compacted soil. Infiltration rate increased by 63% (+/-2%) compared to no-tree …

Earthworms in the Urban Environment: Can Population Augmentation Improve Urban Soil Properties?
… with contrasting soil tolerances were planted (Acer rubrum and Cornus florida). We measured soil physical and chemical properties along with earthworm survival and soil respiration. Earthworm inoculation did not succeed in improving bulk density or increasing soil organic matter, yet it was …

Forest dynamics of pine- and oak-dominated communities on southeastern-facing slopes of Warm Springs Mountain, Virginia
… in our sites due to a lack of burning, while Acer rubrum L. has produced high numbers of seedlings in recent years. This study of vegetation dynamics over space and time will provide insights for land managers and inform fire restoration practices.
