Bearded Dragon Brown Spots On Legs
Forestry (or forestry) is the science of planting, cultivation and use of forests .
Forestry in the strict sense does all of that set of actions ranging from cuts to cuts intercalary regeneration which allow the cultivation of the forest ensuring its renewability, the harvesting intensity that it yields is evaluated in terms of sustainability , or a weighted exploitation of a renewable resource that is maintained, in which it differs from the so-called "use of greed" that does not consider these (fundamental) ecological aspects . It follows then that forestry is a complex science that rests on the practical and theoretical ecology Dendrometry , the ' Auxology , utilization and bedding (which estimate the quantity taken, the dynamics of populations, manage estimating the wood work, etc. ..)
Forestry has ancient origins and the techniques that have been proposed many changes over time. Department foresters, it is worth remembering, were the brothers of monastic orders (such as the Benedictines who grew fir forests of the Apennines for purposes building ) To date, there is generally a reduction of silvicultural rigorous application and a greater natural tendency, or to favor using the natural dynamics of the forestry vegetation. Renewal natural biodiversity , sustainability and multifunctionality are very modern issues today that have led to greater consideration of the so-called natural forestry.
Forestry in the narrow sense is usually divided into forestry in general and special forestry.
Forestry General studies the relationships between the forest and the environment in which it lives, the evolution of the forest, how to plant, the renovation of the forest and the use of the mature stand.
In forestry we study the special ecological and cultural techniques of individual forest tree species.
should be distinguished also by forestry ' trees for wood, which deals with industrial tree plantations for commercial purposes.
Forestry therefore is based on scientific knowledge of the balance and characteristics of forest ecosystems, whether natural or man-made, so that we can speak of: forestry wildlife that deals with the conservation of the forest ecosystem, to keep as close as possible to natural ones, by making the main purpose of the levy the amount and quality of timber for commercial uses, while we talk about forestry agronomic referring to technical discipline that seeks to reconcile economic needs aimed at maximizing production yield in wood volume of the forest with the needs of maintaining the balance of ecological, geological and environmental aspects of forests.
Forestry naturalist
Forestry Nature does all that series of cultural practices that promote the natural dynamics of the forest.
The key forestry nature are
- natural regeneration
- biodiversity
- sustainability
- multifunctionality of forest
- use of native species
In particular, the forestry natural means flexibility in the use of cultivation techniques in order to address case by case situations to manage.
The first great theorist of this forestry was the German Karl Gayer, that a treaty of 1878 emphasizes the importance of stability of the forest and the diversity of the same, that would result in elasticity treatments. Tuna
final push this philosophy and culture was given by the new scientific views of the early twentieth century, particularly the ecosystem approach (holistic) with regard to the forest and all generis elements of the territory, seen as interacting ecosystems them, both by cultural causes, such as sensitivity environmental issues developed since the '70s, both contingent causes: in Italy these causes are represented by the abandonment of the countryside since the early 60's during the urbanization resulting in invasion of the former pasture and forest areas first cultivated, and the abandonment of classical silviculture that has triggered the return of forest vegetation potential and the dynamics of afforestation made in the '20s - '70 reached maturity.
Today, all these factors, and increasingly sensitive to the natural vocation of the environment supported by public opinion provided the basis for forestry nature.

For fitoclimatica area means the geographic distribution , associated with climatic parameters , an association composed of representative plant species homogeneous regard to the climatic requirements.
The main fields of application of the concept of the zone are fitoclimatica forestry, the ' forest ecology and botany in order to define the ranges of plant species of vegetation so independent the relationship between altitude and latitude.
The assumption on which the subdivision of land in areas fitoclimatiche is the analogy between plant associations located in different geographic areas similar to altitude and latitude, but similar in thermal regime and precipitation.
have defined different classification schemes.
The most used in Italy is the model developed by Aldo Pavari in 1916. This model is an adaptation to the Italian context of the scheme proposed by Mayr (1906) and was later supplemented by Alessandro De Philippis in 1937.
Classification fitoclimatica Mayr-Pavari divides the Italian territory into five zones, each associated with the name of a plant species representative.
Classification climatic parameters used as reference average temperatures of the year, the warmest month, the coldest month and the average minimum. Each zone is divided into several types and sub-zones based on temperature and, in some areas, the rainfall.

Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Gentianales
Family: Apocynaceae Subfamily
: Apocynoideae
Genre: Nerium
Species: N. oleander
Photo: Nerium Oleander
The oleander (Nerium oleander L., 1753) is an evergreen shrub belonging to the family Apocynaceae. Is it native to Asia but naturalized in the Mediterranean and spontaneous and widely cultivated for ornamental purposes.
The oleander has a shrub with branched stems usually not departing from the stump, at first erect, then arching outward. The young branches are green and hairless. The stems and branches have an old bark greyish.
The leaves are hairless and leathery, arranged in whorls of 2-3, shortly petiolate, with entire margin and rib strong central and prominent. The lamina is lanceolate, acute apex, 1-2 cm wide and 10-14 cm long.
Photo: oleander flowers
The flowers are large and showy, radial symmetry, arranged in terminal buds. The cup is divided into five lobes lanceolate, pale pink or white forms in the wild. The corolla is tubular and then divided into five lobes, varying in color from white to pink to carmine red. The cultivated varieties are double flowered. The androecium consists of five stamens, with filaments welded pipe corollino. The ovary is super, formed by two carpels pluriovulari. The bloom is abundant and scalar begins in April or May and lasts through the summer until autumn.
Photo: Semi-ripe fruit to
The fruit is a follicle fusiform, narrow and elongated, 10-15 cm long. A mature, open lengthwise, leaving out the seeds. The seed has a size varies from 3 to 5 mm long and about 1 mm in diameter and is topped with a fluff prepared umbrella (PAPP), which allows the seed to be carried by wind for long distances.

The oleander is a thermophilic species eliofila and quite hardy. Takes advantage of soil moisture with a strong vegetative response, however, has xerofitici characters due to the change of leaf stomata that allow it to withstand long periods of drought. Sensitive to cold weather , so in cold environments outside his area fitoclimatica should be placed in sheltered and sunny.
is grown all over Italy as an ornamental and is often used along roads because it requires no special cultural practices.
Despite the bushy nature, can be cared for the tree-lined boulevards to create beautiful flowers for the abundant, long and varied colors. In this case requires frequent interventions spollonatura to remove basal suckers from the stump issued
The oleander has a fairly large distribution area that extends from the warm temperate zone in Japan the basin of the Mediterranean .
In Italy grows naturally in the area of \u200b\u200bfitoclimatica Lauretum at the coast, advancing to within 1000 meters of altitude along the waterways. In fact it is a common and distinctive vegetation riparian environments of the Mediterranean , almost always associated with other riparian species such as the 'alder , the tamarisk , the' chaste lamb .
settles both on sandy soils at the mouths of rivers or along their shores, and on rocky shores, often forming a dense vegetation.
The riparian plant association with a marked presence of oleander is a particular cenosis plant which takes its name Macchia to oleander and chaste lamb , of \u200b\u200blimited size. It is a natural continuation of ' Oleo-Ceratonion , since the two cenosis graded at each other with intermediate associations that see oleander and simultaneously the presence of elements typical of the termoxerofila ( mastic , carob , myrtle, etc.)..
A singular case, perhaps unique in nature, can be found in the Gorge on Gorropu between Supramonte of Orgosolo and to Urzulei in Sardinia : in this case the stain to oleander chaste lamb and you forward up to 1000 feet bordering the primary ilex.

toxins nell'oleandro
The oleander is one of the most toxic plants that are known. The whole plant (leaves, bark, seeds) is toxic to any animal species.
If ingested leads to
- tachycardia with increased respiratory rate,
- stomach upset, including vomiting, nausea and heartburn
- central nervous system disorders, including drowsiness.
Responsible for this is the extreme toxicity oleandrina, a glycoside cardiotoxic, but the oleander contains a number of other toxic principles, which are preserved even after drying.
The oleander is one of the plants that contain cardenolidi.
The animal species most affected are horses, cattle and small carnivores. In horses we also have the appearance of serious and deep lesions on the oral mucosa.
Death comes to cardio-respiratory collapse only in case if they ingest large quantities
Trivia:
The oleander is subject to gift and a metaphor for life in the film The fish love with Leonardo Pieraccioni.
Its toxic properties have been used as a "weapon" for the murder described in the movie White Oleander. In that regard, the story goes that several soldiers of Napoleon's troops died from poisoning after using oleander branches as skewers for cooking the meat on the grill during the military campaigns in Italy.

Coleus
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Lamiales
Family: Labiatae
Genre: Coleus
Photo: Coleus blumei
contains about 150 species of annual or perennial evergreen plants, which reach a height of about 30-50 cm and is grown for its spectacular foliage.
The genus name derives from the greek Koleos, sheath, scabbard, by virtue of the filaments of the stamens that appear together in small bundles, is native to the island of Java.
cultivated specimens are all derived from C. blumei.
are perennials grown as annuals, with opposite leaves, ovate-acuminate and crenate margins, with the foil of various colors, depending on the variety, stems square in section and small insignificant flowers blue-purple meeting in the ear, hatched in winter, which will be eliminated as soon appeared, to prevent the plant going to seed, loses its beauty (with the exception of C. thyrsoideus which has a rich and decorative flowering in winter).
Although perennial plants, they prefer to sow them every spring or multiplied by such (given that the adult plants tend to become clumsy), especially if you intend to use them outside to decorate borders or flower beds.
Species:
Coleus blumei: from the island of Java, this species, perennial but grown as an annual, has spreading habit and reaches a height of 30-40 cm.
He often red heart-shaped leaves with green margins (but can also take on different colors), while flowers, small and insignificant, should be removed as soon as it occurred (ie not left fully developed) so that the plant has a negative impact to the detriment of the beauty of foliage.
Coleus thyrsoideus: has heart shaped leaves and, from November to March, produces many flower color bright blue, in panicles, which are decorative.
can reach a height of 1 m. It usually grows as a biennial plant is grown and after flowering until spring or summer to take cuttings.
should be watered thoroughly in the winter to maintain a beautiful flower.
Coleus verschaffeltii: has larger size of C. blumei and heart-shaped leaves, toothed and smooth the foil and purple with green margins.
environmental requirements, substrate, fertilizer and stratagems,
temperature: the minimum winter temperature tolerated is about 16 ° C. If grown in pots, the winter will be taken at home or in a cold greenhouse.
Light : Due to the very colorful foliage, it needs very bright displays, with the exception of the direct rays of the sun.
and humidity Watering: Watering should be plentiful in summer, less in winter (with the exception of C. thyrsoideus which blooms in winter, and therefore requires heavy watering even in this time of year). The humidity should be increased by any means.
Substrate: The ideal soil should be a mixture of peat, soil and leaves of fertilized land in equal parts, with the addition of sand.
Fertilization and special precautions: Coleus are planted in the spring. Although perennials are grown as annuals.
Multiplication Propagation and Pruning: The most widely used method of propagation is by cuttings, which must be taken in the spring, the species C. blumei non-flowering branches (length about 7-8 cm), while C. thyrsoideus from the shoots of plants pruned.
The cuttings should be placed at the root of a mixture of peat and sand at a temperature of 16-18 ° C.
Pruning: Coleus should be subjected to the shearing of the shoot tip every 2-3 weeks, in order to stimulate the production of other classes.
plants grown as biennials (thyrsoideus C. and C. blumei) should be pruned in February, about two-thirds (10 cm from the base for C. thyrsoideus).
diseases, pests and adverse
- Aleurotide greenhouses: these little white flies spread quickly from plant to plant. Specimens affected are covered with sugars (which favor the attack by scale insects), turn yellow and wither. He fought with insecticide.
- Aphids: attack leaves and flowers. The sap and make the plant sticky. Are eliminated by washing the plant and treating it with insecticide specific.
- Cochineal: they occur most easily on copies already attached dall'aleurotide greenhouses. You fight with anticoccidials and eliminating branches and leaves affected. As an alternative to chemical, you can rub the affected areas with a brush wet with water and alcohol.
- Leaves that turn yellow or wilt and fall: water shortage.
- wrinkled and dark ring on the stem: rot due to excessive watering.
- Leaves sparsely colored: light exposure is not sufficient.
- changes in temperature and low temperatures: the plant is reduced to a sodden heap. We must cut the affected parties and move the plant in a warmer place and without currents.

Fomes sp. reduced to a pile of wood spongy and crumbly, whitish or brownish, depending on the degradation of cellulose and lignin interests, on the surface of the trunk appear carpophores shelf or hoof-shaped, gray-yellowish caseous in consistency and maturity woody
- Seccume leaf - the attack Gnomonia veneta (Sacc. et Speg.) Kleb. Case browning on the leaves of the lamina, in correspondence with the prime rib with the appearance of blackish dots, on the twigs causes a shortening of internodes with the formation of tubercles
- Cancer colorful - the Ascomycota fungus Ceratocystis fimbriata is a dangerous parasite originating from America and arrived in Europe during World War II (Through the plane of wooden crates in which the ammunition were landed at Trieste). The infection affects all plant parts (stems, foliage and roots) and is transmitted by direct contact with fungal spores wounds (even small) of plant tissue or by merging the roots (very close to plants), resulting in increasingly lethal and not treatable with standard antifungal products. The acute form causes the complete desiccation of parts of the foliage and can be present on the logs in the form of large necrotic areas often presenting unusual pigmentations. The common name of the disease, "canker stain of plane tree", comes from the characteristic reddish color that transmits the parasite to areas woody affected. In Italy, where the disease appeared for the first time in the '70s and spread quickly across large areas both north and south (Lombardy is currently the worst affected region), is in effect an obligation to fight against disease, including strict rules on the slaughter of infected individuals and disposal of timber struck.

The mulching operation is implemented in agriculture and gardening is done by covering the soil with a layer of material, in order to prevent the growth weeds, keep moisture in the soil, protect the soil from erosion, prevent the formation of so-called crust, reduce compaction, maintain the structure and raise soil temperature.
Materials
- cocoa husks
-
straw - dried leaves
- grass mowing
- shredded pine bark
- Cardboard
- litter
- plastic film or bioplastic
- gravel
- lapillus
eg.: shredded bark
Mulching imitates what happens naturally in the woods where the leaves are piling up on the ground under the tree, limiting the growth of other vegetation.
The effect is due to inhibition of a physical (and preventing the penetration of sunlight, lack of space for the development of weeds) and biochemical actions of (the release of inhibitory substances that contaminate the bio- seeds and propagating parts of weeds).
This technique allows to maintain the level of surface roots, a higher temperature in the cold months, while decreasing the need for watering during the warm months.
Mulching is a method widely used in sustainable agricultural practices such as permaculture, natural farming and biodynamic farming.
With regard to the recent problems related to the spread of the tiger mosquito in Italy, it should also be noted that the technique of mulching, now widespread in thousands of private and public gardens, create as many receptacles for the development of the larvae which Contrary to popular view, are developed not only in stagnant water in the soil but, when wet, and do not proliferate in random spots and low vegetation and shaded.
A technique very suitable for the benefits it gives the care of the vegetation today thus involves a problematic side of the coin on which is worth some reflection.
