Rhododendron macrophyllum D. Don ex G. Don

Broad-scale Impacts of Plant Response to Fire ( Inglês )

fornecido por Fire Effects Information System Plants
More info for the terms: cover, frequency

Several studies that have used permanent plots to follow vegatation
changes after logging and burning in Oregon and Washington demonstrate
that Pacific rhododendron is fire-sensitive. Two studies following
slash burning compared burned and unburned plots. In the first study,
most plots were burned lightly or moderately by fall fires. Samples
taken during the first 16 years after slash burning show Pacific
rhododendron to be dominant on twice as many unburned plots as burned
plots. Where it did attain significant cover on burned plots, Pacific
rhododendron had resprouted by the second season after fire [39,40]. A
second study found cover of Pacific rhododendron to be 30.5 percent on
unburned plots and 4.9 percent on burned plots 11 to 16 years following
fire [49].

Results of another postfire study demonstrated a slow increase in
frequency of Pacific rhododendron from the first to the fifth and sixth
growing seasons [58]. A comparison of old-growth western hemlock -
Douglas-fir stands with 2- to 40-year-old stands found mean cover values
of Pacific rhododendron decreased from 13 percent to 0.4 percent 2 years
after broadcast burning and gradually increased to 6.8 percent at 40
years [48]. Early recovery of Pacific rhododendron on three clearcuts
that were treated with medium-intensity fall fires was as follows [11]:

Cover (%) Frequency (%)

Before logging: 8.5 29.5
Year 1 after logging: 1.0 18.0
Year 1 after slash fire: 0.2 13.1
Year 2 after slash fire: 0.8 11.5
Year 5 after slash fire: 1.8 14.8

More info for the term: cover

Pacific rhododendron may provide good thermal and hiding cover for big
game animals [28]. However, thickets can be difficult for the animals
to enter [28]. Presumably, Pacific rhododendron provides cover for
smaller animals also.

Description ( Inglês )

fornecido por Fire Effects Information System Plants
More info for the terms: series, shrub

Pacific rhododendron is an evergreen shrub, normally 6 to 12 feet
(1.8-3.7 m) tall at maturity with leaves 3 to 6 inches (7-15 cm) long
and 1.2 to 2.7 inches (3-7 cm) wide [35,50]. The flowers are light to
rose pink and borne in terminal clusters (racemes) of 20 or more [50].
Shaded plants have elongated branches and may resemble small trees,
while plants growing in the open form compact, dense bushes [33].
Pacific rhododendron's mature leaves, like leaves of other rhododendrons
in the Ponticum series, have a soft leathery texture and no hairs,
trichomes, or other covering [33,50]. Pacific rhododendron is not as
cold-hardy as other members of the series [46].

Pacific rhododendron has shallow roots [21]. Good aeration is important
for rhododendron roots which often will grow deep into loamy soils [35].
Two studies of Pacific rhododendron in northwestern Washington and
northern California describe a large, tuberlike rootcrown growing just
under the soil surface with fine, fibrous roots extending into the soil
[55,62]. Most rhododendrons have a characteristic type of mycorrhiza
that promotes nutrient uptake in nutrient-poor environments and may
provide resistance to heavy metal damage [45]. Since Pacific
rhododendron grows well on nutrient-poor sites [28], this mycorrhizal
relationship seems probable.

Fire Ecology ( Inglês )

fornecido por Fire Effects Information System Plants
More info for the term: fire regime

Pacific rhododendron grows in moist Pacific Coast forests where,
historically, major fires were infrequent and more frequent surface
fires burned small areas [57]. The main fire adaptation of Pacific
rhododendron is its ability to resprout from a shallow, tuberlike
rootcrown [3,20,42,55,62].

Fire Management Considerations ( Inglês )

fornecido por Fire Effects Information System Plants
Since Pacific rhododendron is reduced by fire [20], burning after
logging results in better conifer stocking [57]. However, communities
with Pacific rhododendron as a dominant are frequently on infertile
soils that are sensitive to the effects of fire [27,28]. Moderate to
hot slash fires can cause damage to these soils and loss of nutrients,
especially nitrogen [27,28].

Habitat characteristics ( Inglês )

fornecido por Fire Effects Information System Plants
More info for the terms: forest, mesic

Pacific rhododendron is found in coastal to low montane conifer forests
on soils that are moist but well drained and frequently shallow
[3,21,52,62]. Many western Oregon sites with Pacific rhododendron as a
dominant have soils with low levels of available nitrogen [22,27,26].
Pacific rhododendron grows in several Pacific Northwest forest zones
[15].

The Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) zone forms a narrow band along the
coast. In this uniformly wet and frequently foggy area, Pacific
rhododendron is often found on less favorable sites [15]. On old sand
dunes and steep slopes facing the ocean Pacific rhododendron forms
thickets with salal (Gaultheria shallon) and evergreen huckleberry
(Vaccinium ovatum) [15,43]. At the southern end of this zone and
extending into northern California, Pacific rhododendron is a dominant
under coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and tanoak (Lithocarpus
densiflorus) on soils formed from sandy coastal plain deposits
[1,15,16]. It is part of the understory of northern California's pygmy
conifer forests on severely podzolized soils formed from similar
deposits [55].

While the western hemlock zone is wet and mild, summer drought and
temperature extremes are more common than in the Sitka spruce zone.
Pacific rhododendron is found on intermediate mesic sites in this zone
along the coast [15]. In this zone in the northern Cascades Pacific
rhododendron is most dominant on cooler, dry to mesic sites [22]. In
the central Cascades it can be found on most types of sites within the
western hemlock zone, although it dominates on warmer and drier sites
[12,59]. In this zone in the southern Siuslaw National Forest of the
Coast ranges, Pacific rhododendron is often a dominant on south-facing
slopes and lower elevation ridges with thin soils [27]. In the western
hemlock subzone where Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) is a
dominant, communities containing Pacific rhododendron are typically on
better drained soils [24]. It is often found under mesic
Port-Orford-cedar - Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests on the
west slope of the Siskiyou Mountains at low to middle elevations on
diorite parent materials [56].

In the higher, wetter and cooler mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana)
and silver fir (Abies amabilis) zones, Pacific rhododendron is an
understory dominant on relatively warm, dry soils at lower elevations
within the type [12,15,28].

In the mixed-conifer zone Pacific rhododendron is found on the moistest
sites at mid-elevations in the southern Cascade and eastern Siskiyou
Mountains. Average temperatures in this zone are similar to those in
the western hemlock zone but the summers are warmer and drier [15]. In
the South Umpqua Basin of the southern Cascades in Oregon, Pacific
rhododendron is a good indicator of high soil moisture [37]. It occurs
on cool, moist sites with soils averaging 40 inches (101.6 cm) deep in
the Siskiyou Mountains [1]. On the east side of the Siskiyous, it grows
with Douglas-fir where site conditions are most similar to coastal
conditions. It is at its environmental limit on these sites and does
not extend to drier sites [1].

Elevational ranges in some western regions are [15,28,41,56]:

Minimum Maximum
feet meters feet meters
California sea level 4,000 1,219
c Siskiyou Mts 2,500 670 5,500 1,680

More info for the term: severity

Pacific rhododendron appears to be top-killed by most fires. The
shallow rootcrown could be heat-killed during severe fires, thus killing
the entire plant. Low severity fires may allow the survival of basal
stem buds, accounting for observations of its increased survival
following such fires [11,20].

Management considerations ( Inglês )

More info for the terms: cover, shrubs

Pacific rhododendron often indicates low soil nitrogen content. On
sites where it is dominant, care should be taken to protect the soil
from damage from heavy equipment or fire during logging [22,27].
Conifer planting can be difficult on sites that had dense Pacific
rhododendron cover before treatment because of the residual roots.
Removing the overstory may stimulate the growth of Pacific rhododendron
and other shrubs [22]. If the soil is undisturbed during treatment, it
resprouts rapidly [19].

If control is necessary, spraying the foliage in spring with triclopyr
ester gives fair to good control [6,54].

the showier Rhododendron hybrids, but it is used as an ornamental in
backgrounds or native gardens and naturalized woodlands [33,35]. Native
plants like Pacific rhododendron have potential value for low-water-use
landscaping [60]. Both white and pink forms are commercially available
[35]. Growing Pacific rhododendron in partial shade to full sun and
debudding or pruning encourage compact growth and bloom [33,35]. Wild
plants are legally protected from digging [7,33].

Plant Response to Fire ( Inglês )

More info for the terms: cover, frequency

Following fire, Pacific rhododendron sprouts from stem bases or
rootcrowns and new seedlings may establish [3,20,62]. There is a marked
decrease in cover and frequency immediately after fire followed by a
slow, gradual increase [10,11,48,58]. In the western Cascade Mountains
of Oregon, Pacific rhododendron is a residual species following light
fires but very scarce after more severe fires [11]. Nevertheless in
this area, evidence of past fires is shown by brushfields that include
Pacific rhododendron [53]. In Asia rhododendron seedlings rapidly
colonize open areas after fire [35] and Pacific rhododendron's tiny,
winged seeds might allow expansion from surviving plants.

Regeneration Processes ( Inglês )

fornecido por Fire Effects Information System Plants
More info for the terms: capsule, fruit, seed, stratification

The flowers are pollinated by bees and plants begin to bear seed when
they are 5 years old [21,42]. The fruit is a dry, rusty-brown,
pubescent capsule that divides into five parts by splitting lengthwise
to release the numerous, minute seeds [41,42]. The seeds, including the
wing, are less than 0.1 inch (3 mm) long [41]. Pacific rhododendron
seeds germinate without stratification and are viable for up to 2 years.
The seeds require light for germination [42].

If aboveground portions are killed, Pacific rhododendron can regenerate
vegetatively by sprouting from stem bases and from the rootcrown [3,20].

The currently accepted scientific name of Pacific rhododendron is
Rhododendron macrophyllum D. Don ex G. Don [32]. There is a
white-flowered form, album, in addition to the more typical
pink-flowered form, macrophyllum [30,35].

Since the genus has close to 1,000 species, it has been subdivided. The
first subdivision is into two large groups: Lepidote with scales on
branchlets, leaves and flowers, and Elepidote without scales. These
groups do not hybridize naturally and most attempts to create hybrids
have been unsuccessful [35]. These groups are divided into 23 Lepidote
series and 20 Elepidote series, each named by a representative species.
Pacific rhododendron is an Elepidote rhododendron and a member of the
Ponticum series and subseries [33,35,50].

Pěnišník velkolistý ( Checo )

fornecido por wikipedia CZ

Pěnišník velkolistý (Rhododendron macrophyllum) (anglicky zvaný Pacific Rhododendron, Coast Rhododendron nebo Big Leaf Rhododendron) je stálezelený druh pěnišníku pocházející ze západu Severní Ameriky. Je to národní rostlina státu Washington.

Rozšíření

Pěnišník velkolistý je rozšířen podél pobřeží Tichého oceánu, od Britské Kolumbie po střední Kalifornii, hojně se také vyskytuje v Pobřežních horách (Coast Mountains) a Kaskádovém pohoří (Cascade Range). Oregonská řeka Siuslaw rozděluje areál výskytu druhu na větší jižní a menší severní část. Severní hranice výskytu probíhá jen několik kilometrů severně od kanadsko-amerických hranic v Britské Kolumbii, na jihu areál výskytu dosahuje až na pobřeží Montereyova zálivu (Monterey Bay) v Kalifornii. Vyskytuje se především v blízkosti pobřeží, ale je rozšířena i v Kaskádovém pohoří.

Podobně jako mnohé jiné severoamerické pěnišníky roste pěnišník velkolistý zejména na narušených stanovištích, jako jsou okraje silnic a čerstvě odlesněná půda. Roste také na vypalovaných místech a rychle obráží ze zachovaných kořenů.

Popis

Pěnišník velkolistý je dva až devět metrů vysoký keř. Listy jsou 7 až 23 cm dlouhé a 3 až 7 cm široké a na keři vytrvávají dva nebo tři roky. Květy jsou 3 až 4 cm dlouhé, pětičetné. Většinou jsou růžové, existují však i jinobarevné varianty.

Historie

Pěnišník velkolistý objevil v květnu 1792 skotský chirurg a botanik Archibald Menzies na pobřeží zálivu Discovery Bay ve státě Washington během expedice s George Vancouverem po vyplutí z Havajských ostrovů. Rostl zde společně se stromem planika Menziesova (Arbutus menziesii). Až v roce 1850 ale poslal semena tohoto pěnišníku do Anglie sběratel William Lobb.

V posledních letech byl tento pěnišník v ohnisku zájmu výzkumné botanické zahrady ve Federal Way ve Washingtonu, která je částí projektu WNARSP, jenž zkoumá rozšíření a formy všech rododendronů rostoucích na západě Severní Ameriky.

Rhododendron macrophyllum ( Inglês )

fornecido por wikipedia EN

Rhododendron macrophyllum, the Pacific rhododendron,[2] California rosebay,[3] California rhododendron, coast rhododendron or big leaf rhododendron, is a large-leaved species of Rhododendron native to the Pacific Coast of North America. It is the state flower of Washington.[4]

Description

It is an evergreen shrub growing up to 2–9 m (7–30 ft) tall. The leaves, retained for 2–3 years, are 7–23 cm (3–9 in) long and 3–7 cm (1–3 in) broad. The flowers are 2.8–4 cm (1.1–1.6 in) long, with five lobes on the corolla; color is usually pink, although variants exist.

Distribution

The northern limit of its range is somewhat north of the border between Canada and the United States in British Columbia. It is found as far south as Monterey Bay in California.[5] It is widely distributed in the Coast Mountains and Cascade Range. It is less abundant in the coastal mountains of Washington and northern Oregon and more common south of the Siuslaw River. It is mostly coastal in distribution but extends its range eastward to locations in the Cascade Mountains in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.[5]

Habitat

Rhododendron macrophyllum, like many rhododendrons, thrives in disturbed habitats such as roadside embankments and recently deforested wildlands. They can also live up in the mountains. It also grows in coastal and montane conifer woods.[6]

History and cultivation

Archibald Menzies found R. macrophyllum growing along with Arbutus menziesii in May 1792 when he and George Vancouver made their second landfall after leaving Hawaii, near present-day Port Discovery, Washington.[7] Seed was sent to England in 1850 by William Lobb.

In recent years it has been the main focus of a study group at the Rhododendron Species Foundation in Federal Way, Washington, the Western North American Rhododendron Species Project.[8] The WNARSP is documenting the detailed range and forms of all of the western North American rhododendron species.

Toxicity

The species contains andromedotoxin, which can poison the honey of nearby hives.[9]

Rhododendron macrophyllum ( Francês )

fornecido por wikipedia FR

Rhododendron macrophyllum est une espèce d'arbustes à fleurs de la famille des Ericaceae. Elle fait partie des Rhododendron.

Elle est native de l’Ouest de l’Amérique du Nord.

Habitat

On la retrouve de la Colombie-Britannique (Canada) jusqu'à la baie de Monterey en Californie. Elle croît essentiellement dans les zones proches de l’océan.

Description

Elle mesure entre 2 mètres et 9 mètres de haut. Ses feuilles font entre 7 cm et 23 cm pour 3 cm à 7 cm de large. Les fleurs font entre 3 cm et 4 cm environ de long. La corolle possède cinq pétales et est de couleur rose avec parfois quelques variantes. Ces arbustes sont sempervirents.

Ils poussent dans des zones dégagées comme le long des routes ou dans des zones déforestées ou anciennement incendiées. Ces arbres ont, en outre, la faculté de repousser à partir de la souche après un incendie.

Histoire

Archibald Menzies découvrit cette espèce, ainsi qu'un arbousier, Arbutus menziesii, en mai 1792 lorsque George Vancouver et lui firent leur second débarquement après avoir quitté l’île d’Hawaii[1]. Des graines furent envoyées en Angleterre, en 1850, par William Lobb. Néanmoins, cette espèce, en raison de la difficulté à la faire pousser en culture, a été boudée des horticulteurs en faveur d’autres espèces parfois plus décoratives.

Symbole

Ce rhododendron est la fleur symbole de l’État du Washington aux États-Unis.

В культуре

Рододендрон крупнолистный переносит понижения температуры до −21 °С[4]

В условиях Нижегородской области относительно зимостоек, в суровые зимы подмерзают концы однолетних побегов. Сильно подвержен грибковым заболечаниям, что часто является причиной гибели растений[5].
