“…Additionally, paleobotanical evidence showed the co-occurrence of Zelkova species with evergreen oaks and other species (Follieri et al 1986(Follieri et al , 1989Boyd 2009). Therefore, any restoration efforts for Z. abelicea (e.g., reforestation for the formation of single species stands) should take this aspect into account (see also Godefroid et al 2011;Loss et al 2011).…”

In this paper, the fine-scale spatial patterns of the Tertiary relict Zelkova abelicea (Lam.) Boiss. were studied (1) to reveal processes that contributed to its persistence to climate changes and (2) to assist future conservation planning, with the purpose of shifting the attention of conservation practitioners from patterns to processes. Results of the fine-scale spatial patterns of Z. abelicea indicate that the species tolerates disturbance and/or tracks changes resulting from disturbance in the range of its distribution through morphological and reproductive plasticity. In addition, our study indicates that Z. abelicea populations are conserved in the absence of metapopulation structure and that the species participates in plant-plant interactions through facilitation processes. Hence, the persistence of the species to climate changes seems to be more complicated and multifactorial than a linear and plain view of species survival in climate refugial areas, and therefore calls for a consideration of the processes revealed in this paper in future conservation planning.

“…This approach continually affects future management steps for the purpose of optimum fulfilment of management objectives (Bolte et al 2009). Mostly, reasons for forest transformation failure are genetically inconvenient reproductive material not sufficiently adapted to conditions of the given environment and unsuitable silvicultural methods and techniques (Godefroid et al 2011;Wenying et al 2013). The reproductive material is very important for transformation because it influences transformation success from both short-term and long-term aspects (Thomas et al 2014).…”

The paper deals with development of the natural regeneration of even-aged spruce-beech forests during their transformation to uneven-aged stands with diversified structure at the Jedlový důl area in the Protected Landscape Area Jizerské hory Mts., Czech Republic. Shelterwood management system and free felling policy based on selection principles has been applied there since 1979 with the support of admixed tree species of the natural species composition, especially silver fir (Abies alba Mill.). The research was focuses on structure and development of natural regeneration with the emphasis on ungulate damage and interaction with tree layer from 1979 to 2015. In the course of 36 years, the regeneration structure was diversified towards the close-to-nature tree species composition, spatial and age structure. The number of regeneration recruits increased in average from 941 to 41,669 ind ha -1. During this period share of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) significantly (p < 0.01) increased (by 53.6%), while the share of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) decreased (by 51.5%), such as damage caused by ungulate (by 61.4%) with the highest loses on sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.), rowan (Sorbus aucuparia L.) and silver fir. Moreover, the parent trees had a significant negative influence on natural regeneration at smaller spacing (within a 1 -5 m radius from the stem). Both, regeneration potential and effective role of the tree layer during the forest transformation has been confirmed as important prerequisites for ongoing forest transformation.

“…Phillips, Dixon & Peakall 2012, Tremblay, Ackerman, Zimmerman & Calvo 2005 should always be borne in mind, it is evident that, in most cases, propagated plants from collections will be inadequate for genetically sustainable recovery of natural populations. However, as stressed by Pence (2011), they can be used to test the suitability of Godefroid et al (2011). Among the material that we donated to QSBG in 2016, the plantlets of Dendrobium chrysanthum Lindl.…”

On the "Seidenfaden collection" and the multiple roles botanical gardens can play in orchid conservation

2018

AbstrAct. Using the "Seidenfaden collection" in Copenhagen as an example, we address the common view that botanical garden collections of orchids are important for conservation. Seidenfaden collected live orchids all over Thailand from 1957 to 1983 and created a traditional collection for taxonomic research, characterized by high taxonomic diversity and low intraspecific variation. Following an extended period of partial neglect, we managed to set up a five-year project aimed at expanding the collection with a continued focus on taxonomic diversity, but widening the geographic scope to tropical Asia. Since its establishment, the collection has contributed significantly to ex situ conservation and to research-based development of powerful tools for improving in situ conservation-related decisions and priorities. The collection has been, and still is, an important basis for taxonomic and floristic research which has enabled treatment of the Orchidaceae in the Thai red-list. However, the primary focus of our project has shifted to micro-propagation, DNA-barcoding and phylogenetic analysis. The close link between collection-based research and conservation is remarkable and probably applicable to plant collections in botanical gardens in general. Thus, if the collections are managed and used properly, they have great potential for contributing to conservation in many different ways.
