16 pp. / The luxuriant tropical appearance and stately silhouette of palms add much to the Arizona landscape. Few other plants are as striking in low and mid elevation gardens. Although winter frosts and low humidity limit the choices somewhat, a good number of palms are available, ranging from the dwarf Mediterranean fan palm to the massive Canary Island date palm. This publication addresses the landscape use and the adaption of palms, as well as how to plant and take care of them. Topics include: . Landscape Use . Adaptation . Planting Palms . Care of Established Palms . Diseases and Insect Pests . Palms for Arizona . Feather Palms . Fan Palms . Palm-like Plants

20 pp. / Arizona Firewise Communities / This publication is an update and adaptation of the widely distributed Living with Fire publication created by the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension and Sierra Front Wildfire Cooperators in 1998. It is an interagency collaboration of the Arizona Firewise subcommittee of the Arizona Interagency Coordinating Group. It involved the combined efforts of the Arizona State Land Department, USDI Bureau of Indian Affairs, USDI Bureau of Land Management, USDI National Park Service, USDA Forest Service, USDI Fish and Wildlife Service, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, University of Arizona Cooperative Extension and Arizona Fire Chiefs Association. The need to revise the over seven-year old publication emerged from the subcommittees vision of building in concepts such as Firewise Zone Landscaping and Survivable Space, as well as to update the documents appearance and organization. Its purpose to provide a quality outreach tool to increase public aware concerning Firewise concepts and to encourage and facilitate the implementation of Firewise practices by communities, neighborhoods and property owners. Living with Wildfire is a twelve-page color tabloid that addresses the following topic areas important to homeowners: current situation; fire behavior and the human environment, and in various Arizona vegetation types; detailed recommendations for creating survivable space, including a checklist and landscape management zones; frequently asked questions; and emergency and evacuation guidelines. The tabloid is to be printed in bulk by federal partners and made widely available throughout the state over the next several years.

Les berges de cours d'eau constituent des zones d'interface (ou écotones) entre milieux terrestres et aquatiques, elles présentent une très grande richesse biologique, tant pour la flore que pour la faune. Les berges jouent également un rôle majeur de corridor biologique pour les vertébrés et les invertébrés. L'anthropisation croissante de ces milieux conduit fréquemment à leur stabilisation avec des techniques de protection de berges. Ces techniques de protection sont nombreuses et variées. Certains ouvrages sont purement minéraux et uniquement constitués de béton ou d'enrochement, d'autres par contre sont entièrement constitués de matériaux vivants et biodégradables (boutures, géotextiles, pieux…). Enfin, certains ouvrages sont dits «mixtes» et associent matériaux minéraux (enrochements, grillages…) et vivants. Le type de matériaux et leurs conditions de mise en oeuvre vont influer sur les capacités d'accueil de la biodiversité de ces différents ouvrages.L'objectif de ce travail est de quantifier et d'analyser la biodiversité taxonomique et fonctionnelle de ces berges aménagées, dans la perspective de contribuer à l'amélioration du fonctionnement écologique de ces milieux et des services écosystémiques associés.Dans ce travail nous avons évalué les diversités taxonomiques et fonctionnelles des plantes vasculaires terrestres, des coléoptères aériens et des macroinvertébrés benthiques présents en pied de berge de plusieurs types d'aménagement de berge. Ces résultats ont fait l'objet d'une analyse comparative avec ceux des berges de référence subnaturelles à saulaies basses.Nous avons ainsi montré que les techniques issues du génie végétal engendraient des diversités taxonomiques et fonctionnelles, animales et végétales, significativement plus grandes que celles observées sur les aménagements issus du génie civil. D'autre part, la compétition interspécifique sur les aménagements issus du génie végétal limite le développement et l'invasion des espèces végétales néophytes. Enfin, la structure et le fonctionnement des communautés d'organismes terrestres et aquatiques sont largement dépendants de la technique d'aménagement et des conditions biotiques et abiotiques associées. / Riverbanks are interfaces (or ecotones) between terrestrial and aquatic areas, they have a great biodiversity for both flora and fauna. Riverbanks also contribute to the set up of the biological corridor for vertebrates and invertebrates migrations. The increasing human impact on these environments often leads to their stabilization using several bank protection techniques. These techniques are many and varied. Some techniques are purely mineral and only consist of concrete or rock; others consist entirely of organic or even living materials (Geotextiles, cuttings, woody stakes...). Finally, some works are identified as "mixed" and they combine mineral (stones, blocs...) and alive materials. The material constitution and their implementation will affect the biodiversity of each riverbank work.This study aims to quantify and analyze the taxonomic and functional biodiversity of the riverbank works in order to improve our understanding of the ecological functioning of these anthropogenic areas and associated ecosystem services.In this work, we surveyed taxonomic and functional diversities of vascular land plants, flying and ground beetles and benthic macroinvertebrates supported on each riverbank and according to bank management type. These results have been benchmarked with subnatural low willow stand banks taken as control banks.We show that techniques stemmed from bioengineering lead to significantly larger plant and animal, taxonomic and functional diversity, than those surveyed on riverbanks stemmed from civil engineering. On the other hand, interspecific competition on the bioengineering techniques limits the development and invasion of plant species neophytes. Finally, community structures and functioning of terrestrial and aquatic organisms are largely dependent on the riverbank technique and associated biotic and abiotic conditions.

Still, Brazilian exports of flowers and ornamental plants still have values below that are generated internationally by major countries active in the sector. One reason of imports in Brazil are high, it is precisely the lack of trained personnel to work in the activity. Even with the growth in research, automation; there is still the need to use specialized hand labor mainly in the post-harvest treatment, since it is a delicate material nature. The international market of Floriculture is also characterized by the frequent release of new plants to meet the consumer interest in colors and different shapes. In this ornamental trade there is a great demand for foliage and complemented for the ornamental sector with cut flowers. The lack of new products in this line has been worldwide. The lack of new products in this line has been worldwide. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the growth of Solenostemon scutellarioides species known as coleus, emphasizing its role as ornamental cut foliage. The work was divided into stages: 1) was first made the planting of 30 stakes 7cm in vessels with volume 500dm³ to obtain seedlings and development of a framework for notes visual assessment of the following experiments. 2) After growth, the cutting rods 30 are held, where 10 were placed in water at 10 Salicylic acid (10mM) and 10 in the refrigerator for observation for conservation and storage. 3) with the rods which remained in the vessel, it is regeneration by growth analysis: measurement of the diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, plant height. 4) was then done two tests compared to 10 rods in the refrigerator, and 5 in sealed plastic bag with a damp paper towel and plastic bag 5 with no paper towels. 5) to finish was made to light compared with 6 vessels each treatment: shade, partial shade and full sun. Data were released in Excel 2016, there was analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey 5% and Kruskal-Wallis. For number of sheets, height, diameter and leaf area results were significant according to the time; where growth occurred more rapidly during the early regeneration. As for the storage experiment and Conservation (item 2), there was a statistically significant difference, where the stems placed in water and cooling are statistically equal, but different from the rods in salicylic acid, and the note of this is smaller than the other. In the experiment with cooling (item 4) and experiment with light (item 5), it was not observed 5% statistical significance. It was therefore concluded that the Solenostemon scutellarioides species, has rapid regeneration with satisfactory development, being a species with good adaptation indoors and open, l and good conservation in water and can be used in landscaping and ornamental flower arrangements. / A floricultura brasileira tem se mostrado um campo fértil para o agronegócio nacional. Mesmo assim, as exportações brasileiras de flores e plantas ornamentais ainda possuem valores abaixo do que são gerados internacionalmente pelos principais países que atuam no setor. Um dos motivos das importações no Brasil serem alta, é justamente a falta de pessoal capacitado para trabalhar na atividade. Mesmo com o crescimento nas pesquisas, automatização; há ainda a necessidade do uso da mão-de-obra especializada principalmente no trato pós-colheita, já que se trata de um material de natureza tão delicada. O mercado internacional da Floricultura é também, caracterizado pelo frequente lançamento de novas plantas para satisfazer o interesse dos consumidores por cores e formatos diferenciados. Nesse comércio de ornamentais existe uma demanda muito grande por folhagens e complementos para atender o setor de ornamentação com flores cortadas. A carência de novos produtos nessa linha tem sido mundial. Sendo assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o crescimento da espécie Solenostemon scutellarioides conhecida como Coléus, enfatizando seu papel ornamental como folhagem de corte. O trabalho foi dividido em etapas: 1) primeiro foi feito o plantio de 30 estacas de 7 cm, em vasos com volume de 500dm³, para obtenção de mudas e elaboração de um quadro de notas para avaliação visual dos experimentos seguintes. 2) após o crescimento, realizou-se o corte de 30 hastes, onde 10 foram colocadas em água, 10 em ácido salicílico (10mM) e 10 no refrigerador, para observação de conservação e armazenamento. 3) com as hastes que ficaram nos vasos, verificou-se a regeneração através da análise de crescimento: medida do diâmetro, quantidade de folhas, área foliar e altura da planta. 4) foi feito então, dois testes de comparação com 10 hastes no refrigerador, sendo 5 em saco plástico fechado com papel toalha úmido e 5 com saco plástico sem papel toalha. 5) para finalizar foi feita a comparação de luminosidade com 6 vasos cada tratamento: sombra, meia-sombra e pleno-sol. Os dados coletados foram lançados no Excel 2016, realizou-se análise de variância (ANOVA), Tukey 5% e Kruskal-Wallis. Para quantidade de folhas, altura, diâmetro e área foliar os resultados foram significativos de acordo com o tempo; onde o crescimento aconteceu com maior rapidez durante o início da regeneração. Quanto ao experimento de armazenamento e conservação (item 2), observou-se diferença estatística significativa, onde as hastes colocadas em água e refrigeração são estatisticamente iguais, mas diferentes das hastes em ácido salicílico, sendo que a nota deste é menor do que as demais. No experimento com refrigeração (item 4) e experimento com luminosidade (item 5), não foi observado significância estatística a 5 %. Concluiu-se então que a espécie Solenostemon scutellarioides, possui regeneração rápida com desenvolvimento satisfatório, sendo uma espécie com boa adaptação em ambientes fechados e abertos e boa conservação em água, podendo ser usada em paisagismo e ornamentação de arranjos florais.

Hecken unterscheiden sich in der Wuchshöhe, Laubfärbung, Blüte und Frucht. Sie werden als Sichtschutz, zur Einfassung von Beeten oder zur Begrenzung angepflanzt. Die Broschüre stellt unterschiedliche Heckensorten und ihre Verwendung vor und gibt Hinweise zu Pflege und Schnitt.

Mit farbigen Abbildungen werden die besten Kleinstrauch- und Beetrosensorten aus den Pillnitzer Sichtungen vorgestellt. Sie unterscheiden sich in Farbe, Höhe und ihrer Widerstandsfähigkeit gegenüber Sternrußtau und Rosenmehltau.
