Annual Report July June Our Mission The Arnold Arboretum of

Annual Report July 1, 2005–June 30, 2006 Our Mission The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University discovers and disseminates knowledge of the plant kingdom to foster greater understanding, appreciation, and stewardship of the Earth’s botanical diversity and its essential value to humankind. Dear Friends, As institutions go, the Arnold Arboretum is considered pretty stable, a place where change comes slowly. Perhaps it is the collections of long-lived trees that, from year to year, look pretty much the same. Perhaps it is our 1,000-year lease with the City of Boston that lends a certain sense of permanence to our occupation of the land. Perhaps it is our age at 134 years, the oldest public arboretum in North America, or the international reach of our research activities that date back at least a century. Yet the Arboretum is undergoing as profound a change in its identity as any in the last fifty years. This change will not be very visible for at least a couple of years until a new research laboratory, with state-of-theart greenhouses and growing facilities, arises on a parcel of land adjacent to our existing historic landscape. Located at the base of Weld Hill, this new building symbolizes a major commitment: we seek to become a national leader in research on the biology and evolutionary history of trees. I am confident that we can accomplish this while maintaining our historic commitment to exceptional programs in horticulture and education, particularly public education. In fact, it is our commitment to research of the highest quality that ensures our ability to continue educational service to the public. Given this time of transformation, it seems an appropriate moment to examine the many ways we interact with our friends and supporters, and to evaluate whether we communicate a true and consistent vision of our goals and aspirations. Those of you immersed in the business world will recognize this as evaluating the brand. In its narrowest sense, our assessment will examine the traditional tools of institutional identity—our logo, the look of our website, the graphic qualities of our signage—to confirm their support for a consistent message. However, this interpretation of the brand fails to do justice to the scope of our vision. As you witness these changes, relatively modest visually, know that they are symbolic of a more profound vision of the Arboretum’s future toward which we are progressing. The endeavors of the past fiscal year, highlighted in this annual report, will begin the charting of our progress toward this goal. —Robert E. Cook Director of the Arnold Arboretum 1 Images captured in the project to digitize the seed herbarium include, at left, a comparison of maple seeds within the section Palmata, a group which includes Japanese maples (Acer palmatum).

Stewarding a world-class living collection and historic landscape 2 Founded in 1872, the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is the oldest public arboretum in North America and one of the world’s leading centers for the study of plants. E Extending over a 265-acre landscape, owned by the City of Boston and on long-term lease to Harvard University, the Arnold Arboretum contains trees, shrubs, and vines from all north temperate regions of the world with special emphasis on plants native to North America and Asia. The Arboretum actively manages the collection while propagating new plant material, reviewing and revising the taxonomic documentation of the collection, and stewarding its historic Frederick Law Olmsted design. Horticultural projects completed and ongoing over the past year reflect the Arboretum’s commitment to being a leader in the management and presentation of arboreta and historic landscapes. Over the past two years, the Arboretum has explored ways to showcase noteworthy and ornamental shrubs and vines in the M. Victor and Frances Leventritt Garden, creating a unique educational opportunity for visitors. To that end, staff reorganized planting beds into three overarching themes: plant exploration and disjunct Asian and North American plant species, rare and endangered plants, and Arnold Arboretum introductions. In all, more than 100 new plant accessions and 32 new vine trellises were added to the garden. In addition, a new stonedust walk—called Linden Path—now directly connects the garden with Meadow Road. Propagating plants from wild-collected seed remains the primary method for building the Arboretum’s living collection, and a project introduced over the past year to produce digital images of seeds in our seed herbarium will assist propagators at the Arboretum and around the world. Begun some 40 years ago by celebrated propagator Alfred Fordham to support his experiments with germination, the seed herbarium currently holds almost 1,500 samples used to distinguish seeds from chaff and to differentiate seeds of closely related species. Once completed, the project will offer the international botanical and horticultural communities a unique and valuable resource. Since his 1984 appointment as curator of the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection, senior research scientist Peter Del Tredici has been investigating the origins and development of this singular collection of dwarfed trees. Assisted by the discovery of several early-twentieth-century auction catalogs, his research culminated with the publication of a special double issue of Arnoldia. This year also marked the completion of a five-year restoration of the Hinoki cypresses to their original “hachi-no-ki” style spearheaded by bonsai expert Colin Lewis, and their display at the 2006 New England Spring Flower Show. 14,475: Plants in the living collection (9,631 accessions representing 3,926 taxa) 216: New plants added (122 accessions representing 96 taxa) 517: Plants removed from the collection based on curatorial review 3 At near right, research taxonomist David Boufford collects herbarium specimens on a ridge with alpine meadows, vegetated slopes, and scree on the northeast side of Daxue Shan in Sichuan Province, China.

Senior research scientists Jianhua Li and Peter Del Tredici collected plant specimens and conducted a botanical inventory of the mountain. Striving for excellence in botanical research 4 Through the richness of the living, herbarium, and archival collections, and diverse field and laboratory investigations by staff here and abroad, the Arnold Arboretum continues to honor and expand its historical commitment to botanical research. T The past year witnessed multiple advances in several ongoing programs in Arboretum laboratories in Cambridge and in Jamaica Plain. The institution also continued to foster its longtime commitment to global ecology through its participation in the Center for Tropical Forest Science-Asia Program and a three-year study of biodiversity in peninsular Thailand. The flora of China has been a focus of research for the Arboretum since its founding, and the discoveries of many plant explorers have added greatly to our collections. In July and August 2005, Arboretum botanical staff returned—for their eighth expedition since 1993—to the Hengduan Mountains, a biodiversity hotspot in south-central and southwestern China. This remote and underexplored area is home to between 30 and 40 percent of China’s roughly 30,000 species of vascular plants. Through a grant from the National Science Foundation, the Arboretum endeavored to fill gaps in the herbarium collections, help define the condition of this region, and provide material in support of the work of international researchers, scholars, government agencies, and conservation organizations. Two new researchers at the Arboretum are Sargent Fellows Maciej Zwieniecki and Sarah Mathews. Through federal grants from the National Science Foundation and the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Maciej studies the biology of water and nutrients as they move from the roots of large woody plants through the system of internal tubes to the leaves where gas exchange and water transpiration occur. Sarah is studying the biology and evolution of the light-sensing pigment in flowering plants called phytochrome, work also supported by the National Science Foundation. The completion of a five-year, multi-tiered global warming study at the Arboretum has increased our understanding of how plants respond to climate change over the course of their lifetimes. A team led by Boston University Professor Richard Primack compared data of flowering times for plants on the grounds with their associated herbarium specimens and archival photographs and found that the plants studied here bloom an average of eight days earlier today than 70-80 years ago. The group concluded their study with an analysis of cellular changes in the leaves of Arboretum plants caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, another indicator of global environmental change.

This year, a program brought Head Start preschoolers, at left, to the Arboretum for structured visits to introduce them to the natural world. At right, docent Maryanne King leads an autumn tour of the landscape. 6 The unique resources of the Arnold Arboretum provide a diverse and remarkable array of opportunities to educate multiple audiences in the life sciences, plant biology, horticulture, and related disciplines. T Through a number of new initiatives, collaborations, interpretive materials, and tour opportunities, the Arboretum continues to build on a century-long commitment to public education. To advance our interest in the effective stewardship of plants and natural systems in the human environment, we offer professional instruction and support research in landscape design, landscape management, and cultural landscape preservation. In addition to serving university, continuing education, and professional students, the Arboretum actively seeks to realize the potential of our urban context by providing educational experiences for visitors, school children, and the surrounding community. The Field Studies Program has actively fostered science learning for urban elementary school students for more than two decades. The Arboretum created a new program for Boston fifth-graders to investigate ecological changes on Hemlock Hill caused by the hemlock woolly adelgid. Students learn to recognize symptoms of decline in infested trees and survey the successive hardwood species that signal renewal. The program not only engages students in a real-world case study, but also cultivates an appreciation of the complexity and resiliency of forest ecosystems. The formation of the Landscape Institute of the Arnold Arboretum reflected both the richness of our collections, our commitment to rigorous scholarship, and our unique position as a landmark urban open space in influencing the future of the landscape design profession. Responding to these resources and trends in community planning, the Landscape Institute created a new certificate program in Landscape Preservation. Along with the Institute’s nationally recognized programs for Landscape Design and Landscape Design History, this new curriculum addresses the need of contemporary designers to continually develop their understanding of our interactions with nature. In the Horticultural Library, the completion of the Arboretum’s second Library Digital Initiative (LDI) project marked the end of a threeyear undertaking to digitize more than 4,500 historical images of Eastern Asia. A major effort to preserve and share our archival resources, the initiative generated the creation of a new online exhibit for the Arboretum’s website, Cultural Images of Eastern Asia, 1907–1927. The digitization of archival holdings is just one step in what promises to be a robust program to expand public access to our collections. 2,558: Number of children participating in Field Studies Programs 1,023: Number of adult education registrants 20: Number of certificates awarded by the Landscape Institute 7 The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is the oldest public arboretum in North America and one of the world’s leading centers for the study of plants. A unique blend of beloved public landscape and respected research institution, we provide and support worldclass research, horticulture, and education programs that foster the understanding, appreciation, and preservation of trees. 8 Arnold Arboretum Statement of Activities July 1, 2005–June 30, 2006 Financially, the Arboretum largely relies on the past and present philanthropy of its friends and members who, for 134 years, have given generously to the institution.
