Chamaedaphne Calyculata

In the description of the Byron Bog (Judd, 1957c) it was pointed out that one method of collecting insects in the bog was to make a circular sweep with an insect net, held at arm's length, through the tops of the bushes in the Chamaedaphnetum calyculatae association. The net used was one with a rim twelve inches in diameter and the radius of the circle over which the sweep was made was six feet. A single sweep was made each day from Itlay 15 to November 15 in 1956 and all the insects collected each day were sorted and counted. The dav of maximum blooming of Chamaedaphne calyculata was May 21 and the day of last blooming was June 1 (Judd, 1958a). Thus there was a period of nineteen days, from May 15 to June 1, when the plants were in bloom while the sweeping was in progress.

Accumulations of six metals (Cu, Ni, Mn, Al, Fe, and Ca) were analysed in peat and water for 18 peatlands east northeast of Falconbridge, Ontario, Canada. The peatlands had a minimum of 30 cm accumulation of peat, < 10 μg mL−1 Ca2+ in the water, and were from a variety of physiognomic dominance types. Significant correlations existed between the distance from smelting operations and the concentrations of Cu and Ni in the peat and water. Levels of Mn, Fe, and Ca were not related to distance. The vegetation was analysed on 11 of the 18 peatlands. With the exception of the two sites closest to the smelter, all are low shrub peatlands, dominated by Chamaedaphne calyculata. Effects on the vegetation range from severe within 2 km of the smelter to minimal at 30 km. Sphagnum species that normally dominate the moss layer of these peatlands begin to appear at approximately 12 km from the smelter and are found almost exclusively in the moat area. With increasing distance and decreasing concentrations of Cu and Ni, conditions gradually permit growth of the oligotrophic Sphagnum species. Beyond 30 km, Sphagnum dominates all portions of the peatlands.

In the description of the Byron Bog (Judd, 1957a) it was pointed out that Redmond's Pond is situated in the northwest corner of the bog and that during 1956 a tent-trap was anchored in a small bay in the northeast corner of the pond to trap insects emerging as adults from the water. The position of the trap on the pond is shown in the map accompanying the description of the bog (Judd, 1957a) and the structure and use of the trap are also described by Judd (1957b). The trap was placed on the water on May 15, 1956 and remained there until November 8. It was about four feet from the edge of the pond in water about two feet deep. At this point the bottom of the pond was composed of a thick layer of loose, brown peat and the adjacent edge of the pond was occupied by a dense growth of leatherleaf, Chamaedaphne calyculata, growing in Sphagnum (Judd, 1957a). The branches of the bushes of leatherleaf extended out over the water of the small bay in which the trap floated. The only rooted plant growing in and around the trap was spatterdock, Nuphar advena. Floating in the water was a sparse growth of bladderwort, Utricularia vulgaris, and on the surface of the water there were a few scattered fronds of duckweed, Lemna minor, and water flax-seed, Spirodela polyrhiza.

The Relationship

This paper presents data and observations concerning Chamaedaphne calyculata (L.) Moench. (Ericaceae). The branching pattern, the longevity of different types of leaves, and features of flowering are shown to be correlated. The relationship between this complex of features and the habitat is studied, and a few speculations are advanced to explain the physiological basis for the behavior of Chamaedaphne. This study is essentially autecological, and it is hoped that it may constitute a link between the study of soil conditions and the response of plant hormones on the one hand, and phytosociological work in peat bogs on the other hand.

Study Sites

Rhizomes of eight understory species: Gaultheria procumbens, Maianthemum canadense, Vaccinium angustifolium, Cornus canadensis, Pteridium aquilinum, Kalmia angustifolia, Chamaedaphne calyculata, and Rhododendron canadense were subjected to treatments of 45, 50, 55 and 60 °C for 5 min in a water bath. Selection of these species for study was based on differences in the depth of the rhizomes, in habitat, and in rhizome morphology. Samples were collected from study sites located near Halifax, in the Nova Scotia Acadian Forest region.Maximum shoot growth occurred at different temperatures for the various species: 45 °C for Cornus canadensis; 50 °C for Chamaedaphne calyculata, R. canadense, and V. angustifolium; 55 °C for G. procumbens and M. canadense. Death occurred at or below 60 °C for most species. For comparative purposes, a temperature tolerance index (TTI) was calculated for each species. The TTI indicated that R. canadense and V. angustifolium showed the greatest tolerance to higher temperatures and that K. angustifolia and P. aquilinum showed the least tolerance. Mean shoot number increased significantly following spring treatments for all species except for Cornus canadensis which showed greater increase following autumn treatments.
