“…Elderberries are not drought tolerant [6; 7]. But, on the other hand, elderberries are able to recover from short periods of water shortage (at least up to three weeks) [8]. Elderberries maintained stem water potential by reducing leaf conductance soon after the onset of drought, by closing stomata [9].…”

Abstract. Elderberry (Sambucusnigra L.) is a common species belonging to the Adoxaceae family native to most of Europe and North America. For centuries, elderberry has been used as a medicinal plant. This species is also a popular ornamental plant often grown in the gardens and city parks. However, the seedling survival rate of elderberry depends mainly on the suitable soil water conditions that can be controlled using a properly designed and operated microirrigation system. Firstly, it is necessary to determine the water needs of Sambucusnigra L., especially in the first period of growth, which determines the seedling survival rate of the plants introduced into the gardens or parks. A commonly accepted measure of the plant water requirements is the potential evapotranspiration of this plant. The purpose of the research was to assess the water needs of Sambucusnigra L. during the first three years of its growing in five different regions of Poland. Potential evapotranspiration of the elderberry was calculated using modified by Żakowicz for Polish conditions the Blaney-Criddle's method, to which the crop coefficients were adjusted. The study was carried out for thirty years, from 1981 to 2010, in five different agro-climatic regions of Poland.The largest water needs in the period of increased demand for water in elderberry (June-July) occurred in the central-north-western (232 mm) and central-eastern (230 mm) regions. The lowest water needs were found in the south-eastern region (214 mm). The highest rainfall deficit in the central-north-west region (102 mm), smaller rainfall deficit in the central-eastern and south-western regions, amounted to 82 mm and 72 mm, respectively. The lowest rainfall deficit (40 mm) was found in the south-eastern region.In the central-north-west and central-eastern regions, precipitation deficiency occurred in 28 out of 30 considered years (93 % years). In the south-eastern region, precipitation deficiency occurred in 21 years (70 % of years).Keywords : irrigation, evapotranspiration, reclamation, seedling survival, water requirements. IntroductionElderberry (also called medicinal lilac) is a popular plant used for centuries for medicinal purposes [1; 2]. Sometimes it is cultivated -as an ornamental shrub -also in parks and home gardens. High Elderberry planting -on the surface of the park or within a given garden -depends primarily on optimal water conditions that can be effectively shaped using properly programmed and operated microirrigation. However, this requires the necessary prior determination of the needs of water plants, especially in the first -decisive for the success of the plantings carried out -the period of growth of plants introduced into the area of a given park or garden.The objective of the present research was to estimate of the water needs of elderberry (Sambucusnigra L.) at the first three years of growing on reclaimed land in different regions of Poland.

“…Besides its biological importance, the study of this species is interesting because of the ecological differences that sets it apart from its sister subspecies S. nigra subsp. nigra, which has been cataloged as one of the main invasive weed species of Europe (Atkinson & Atkinson, 2002;Kabuce & Priede 2006). In contrast, S. nigra subsp.…”

Background. Reproductive phenology studies in temperate forests of Mexico are scarce and none of them takes into account micro-environmental factors. As an example, there are no studies of the reproductive dynamics of Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis, the elderberry. Questions. How do environmental factors, at general and micro-scales are related to the production of flowers and fruits of Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis? Study species. Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis is distributed in Abies religiosa (fir) forests of Mexico and it is associated to areas of anthropogenic disturbance. Study site and dates. Temperate forest in the Magdalena river basin, April 2012 to May 2013. Methods. The percentages of flowers and fruits of 103 individuals were registered and precipitation, temperature, light and soil chemical properties were characterized as well. To find out the relation between reproductive phenology and the environmental factors we carried out Spearman´s correlations as well as a Canonical Correspondence Analysis for the micro-environmental factors. Results. Percentages of flowers and fruits showed a relation with the general factors of precipitation, temperature and light. In the micro-environments with the highest light amounts the percentages of fruits were the highest, while the microenvironments with the highest nitrogen, organic matter concentrations and soil moisture, showed the highest flower percentages. Conclusions. We showed that general factors as well as micro-environmental ones have an influence on the proportions of flowers and fruits of the study species in different ways, these knowledges show the reproductive dynamics of this species. Key words: temperate forest, phenology, flowering, fructification. Fenología reproductiva de Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis en el bosque templado de Abies religiosa de la cuenca del río Magdalena D.F. México ResumenAntecedentes. Los estudios de fenología reproductiva en los bosques templados de México son escasos y ninguno toma en cuenta los factores microambientales. Por ejemplo para Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis el "sauco" no hay estudios de su dinámica reproductiva. Preguntas. ¿Cómo los factores ambientales generales y microambientales se relacionan con la producción de flores y frutos de Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis? Especie de estudio. Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis distribuido en los bosques de Abies religiosa (oyamel) de México, es asociado a zonas de disturbio antrópico. Sitio de estudio y fechas. Bosque templado de A. religiosa de la Cuenca del río Magdalena en el valle de México de abril de 2012 a mayo de 2013. Métodos. Se registró el porcentaje de flores y frutos de 103 individuos y se caracterizaron las condiciones de precipitación, temperatura, luz y propiedades químicas del suelo. Para la relación entre le fenología reproductiva y los factores ambientales se realizaron correlaciones de Spearman y para los factores microambientales un Análisis de Correspondencia Canónica (CCA). Resultados. Los porcentajes de flores y frutos se ...
