Exotic urban trees conserve similar natural enemy communities to native congeners but have fewer pests [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Urban trees serve a critical conservation function by supporting arthropod and vertebrate communities but are often subject to arthropod pest infestations. Native trees are thought to support richer arthropod communities than exotic trees but may also be

Shared mycorrhizae but distinct communities of other root-associated microbes on co-occurring native and invasive maples [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Biological invasions are major drivers of environmental change that can significantly alter ecosystem function and diversity. In plants, soil microbes play an important role in plant establishment and growth; however, relatively little is ...

Chlorophyll content monitoring in sugar maple (Acer saccharum) [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2003 We conducted two experiments to determine the usefulness of a chlorophyll content meter (CCM) for the measurement of foliar chlorophyll concentration in sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) in the fall color period. In Experiment 1, four sugar maple trees were visually assigned to each of four fall foliage color categories in October 1998. On four dates

Nitrogen resorption in Acer platanoides and Acer saccharum: influence of light exposure and leaf pigmentation [PDF]
Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2014 We investigated the effects of leaf color change in the fall on photosynthetic production and nitrogen resorption. Seedlings of Acer platanoides L. and A. saccharum Marsh. were grown in a shade house for 5 months in either 21 % (intermediate light, M) or 4.9 % (low light, L) of incident irradiance.
