Heiskanen, J. 2005: Effect of nitrate and ammonium on growth of transplanted Norway spruce seedlings: a greenhouse study. — Ann. Bot. Fennici 42: 1–9.
Effects of nitrate and ammonium nitrogen (N) on the growth of two-year-old Norway spruce seedlings (Picea abies) were studied after transplanting in a greenhouse. In a preliminary experiment (Exp. 1), seedlings were transplanted into sandy soil in 2-liter pots and irrigated either with ammonium or nitrate solution in concentrations (5 mg l–1 N) commonly found in clearcut boreal forest sites. Irrigation with pure water was used as the control treatment. In a further experiment (Exp. 2), seedlings were irrigated similarly, but irrigation with ammonium and nitrate mixture in proportion of 1:2 (total 5 mg l–1 N) was used as the control treatment. In addition, N treatments were combined with contrasting soil temperatures of 11.5 and 21 °C. Irrigation with N-free pure water resulted in decreased root growth (Exp. 1). In both experiments, no clear differences were found in shoot or root growth in the different N-source treatments. Regardless of N application, the most pronounced effect was increased root growth at the higher soil temperature (Exp. 2). The results question the importance of N form on the growth of Norway spruce seedlings in boreal forests.
Kotiranta, H. & Saarenoksa, R. 2005: The genus Basidiodendron (Heterobasidiomycetes, Tremellales) in Finland. — Ann. Bot. Fennici 42: 11–22.
Six species of the genus Basidiodendron are reported from Finland: B. caesiocinereum (Höhn. & Litsch.) Luck-Allen, B. cinereum (Bres.) Luck-Allen, B. deminutum (Bourdot) Luck-Allen, B. eyrei (Wakef.) Luck-Allen, B. radians (Rick) P. Roberts and B. rimosum (H.S. Jacks. & G.W. Martin) Luck-Allen. All but B. cinereum are reported for the first time. The most common species in the genus seems to be B. caesiocinereum followed by B. eyrei and B. cinereum. Descriptions and illustrations of each species are given as well as a key to the Finnish species. A few reference collections from Russia are also included.
Piatek, M. 2005: Taxonomic position and world distribution of Pachykytospora nanospora (Polyporaceae). — Ann. Bot. Fennici 42: 23–25.
Pachykytospora nanospora A. David & Rajchenb., originally described from Gabon (West Africa), is transferred to the genus Haploporus as H. nanosporus (A. David & Rajchenb.) M. Piatek, comb. nova. The species is for the first time recorded for Cameroon and Papua New Guinea, and its world distribution is reviewed and presented on a map. A sectional subdivision of the genus Haploporus is proposed, with two sections: sect. Haploporus and sect. Pachykytospora (Kotl. & Pouzar) M. Piatek, stat. & comb. nova.
Ruuskanen, A. T. & Nappu, N. P. 2005: Morphological differences in Fucus gardneri between two shores with equal cartographic exposure values but different levels of wave action. — Ann. Bot. Fennici 42: 27–33.
The morphology of Fucus species, such as F. gardneri (ex F. distichus), is known to respond strongly to wave exposure. Shore exposure can be described using cartographic methods in which a shore is given a numerical value. While two shores may have equal shore exposure values, they can receive different wave force due to off-shore meteorological conditions. We studied differences in Fucus gardneri morphology between two Californian shores with the same numerical exposure value but which — according to off-shore conditions — may receive different levels of wave force. Thalli were smaller and on average more fronds grew in the holdfasts of the shore considered to be subjected to stronger wave action. Although this result is consistent with earlier observations of decreasing thallus size with increasing wave exposure, we found cartographic methods used to describe shore wave force to be insufficient.
Stevanovic, V., Vukojicic, S. & Tan, K. 2005: Androsace septentrionalis (Primulaceae), a new species for the Balkan flora. — Ann. Bot. Fennici 42: 35–39.
Androsace septentrionalis L. (Primulaceae) is recorded as a new species for the Balkan flora on the basis of herbarium material collected several times from Mt. Prokletije, situated near the borders of Serbia (Metochia and Kosovo province), Montenegro and Albania. The locality marks the southernmost limit of the species' range in Europe. The existence of A. septentrionalis in the Balkans may be the result of migration of the tundra-steppe flora from central and East Europe towards the mountains of the peninsula during the Ice Age.
Väre, H. 2005: Typification of Cyperus bulbosus and C. cruentus and their synonyms. — Ann. Bot. Fennici 42: 41–46.
Cyperus bulbosus Vahl, C. cruentus Rottb., C. globosus Forssk. and C. amauropus Steud. are typified. The lectotype of C. bulbosus was collected in Senegal, Galam (upper course of river Senegal) by M. Adanson in 1749–1753 and that of C. cruentus in Yemen, Bolghosi [Al Hadiyah] by P. Forsskål in 1763. Cyperus amauropus Steud. and C. globosus Forssk. are synonymised with C. cruentus Rottb. Cyperus leptophyllus Hochst. nom. inval. also represents C. cruentus.
Yu, H. & Zhao, N.-X. 2005: Synopsis of Chinese Kengia (Poaceae). — Ann. Bot. Fennici 42: 47–55.
The generic name Cleistogenes is invalid because it is identical with the technical term "cleistogene". According to Art. 20.2 of the current ICBN, Kengia Packer (tribe Eragrosteae, Poaceae) is the correct name for Cleistogenes. The present paper deals with the Chinese species of the genus. There are 18 species and 8 varieties of Kengia in China. Nine new combinations are proposed herein.
