Alnus Alnobetula является распространенным деревом, широко распространенным в большей части Европы , Азии и Северной Америки . [ 2 ] Многие источники называют его Alnus viridis , зеленая ольха , но ботанически это считается незаконным названием, синонимом Alnus alnobetula subsp. Fruticosa . [ 3 ]
Описание
[ редактировать ]
Это большой кустарник или маленькое дерево 3–12 metres (10–39+1⁄2 ft) tall with smooth grey bark even in old age. The leaves are shiny green with light green undersurfaces, ovoid, 3–8 сантиметров ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 - 3 + 1 ~ 4 дюйма ) длиной и шириной 2–6 см. Цветы - это Каткинс , появляющиеся поздно весной после появления листьев (в отличие от других ольдеров, которые цветут перед тем, как выбросить); Самцы -кошкины имеют в длину 4–8 см, самки Каткинс длиной 1 см и ширину 0,7 см, когда она созрела в конце осени, в кластерах 3–10 на разветвленном стебле. [ 4 ] Семена , маленькие 1–2 миллиметра ( 1 ~ 32 - 3 ~ 32 дюйма) длиной, светло -коричневый с узким окружающим крылом.
Корни Alnus viridis subsp. Sinuata имеют азотные узелки. [ 5 ] Исследование на Аляске показало, что саженцы из ольхи Sitka были способны вторгаться в добычу угольной шахты и могут быть использованы для повторной прокуроры и рекультивации полосатыхмин . [6]
Distribution
[edit]There are four to six subspecies, some treated as separate species by some authors:[7]
- Alnus viridis subsp. viridis – Central Europe
- Alnus viridis subsp. suaveolens – Corsica (endemic)
- Alnus viridis subsp. fruticosa – Northeast Europe, northern Asia, northwestern North America
- Alnus viridis subsp. maximowiczii (A. maximowiczii) – Japan
- Alnus viridis subsp. crispa (A. crispa, mountain alder) – northeastern North America, Greenland
- Alnus viridis subsp. sinuata (A. sinuata, Sitka alder or slide alder) – western North America, far northeastern Siberia
Alnus viridis is classed as an environmental weed in New Zealand.[8]
Ecology
[edit]Alnus viridis has a shallow root system, and is marked not only by vigorous production of stump suckers, but also by root suckers.
Alnus viridis is a light-demanding, fast-growing shrub that grows well on poorer soils. In many areas, it is a highly characteristic colonist of avalanche chutes in mountains, where potentially competing larger trees are killed by regular avalanche damage. A. viridis survives the avalanches through its ability to re-grow from the roots and broken stumps. Unlike some other alders, it does require moist soil, and is a colonist of screes and shallow stony slopes. It also commonly grows on subarctic river gravels, particularly in northern Siberia, Alaska and Canada, occupying areas similarly disrupted by ice floes during spring river ice breakup; in this habitat it commonly occurs mixed with shrubby willows.
Uses
[edit]It is sometimes used for afforestation on infertile soils which it enriches by means of its nitrogen-fixing nodules, while not growing large enough to compete with the intended timber crop. A. sinuata can add 20 kg of nitrogen per acre (50kg/hectare) per year to the soil.[9] Alnus viridis leaves have been used in the traditional Austrian medicine externally or internally as tea for treatment of infections and fever.[10]
