Taxonomic Interrelationships Between Juniperus Scopulorum, sarg., and Juniperus Virginiana L. in the Missouri River Basin
Abstract
Juniper has been used since early pioneer days in the protective tree plantings established on the windswept Great Plains. recently juniper has been used as a basic component of the shelterbelt plantings which, by the thousands, dot the prairies of the Great Plains from Texas to Canada. It has frequently been observed that shelterbelts containing conifers have improved over the years while those not containing conifers have, in general, deteriorated. Engstrom (1940, p.2-3) stated "...that conifers, particularly the cedars, are the soundest foundation upon which Plains forestry tree planting can be built. Long-life, adaptability to a wide range of site conditions, year-round protection, regeneration, wildlife value, and comparative freedom from rodent, insect, and livestock damage, as well as disease resistance combine to give the cedars a popular and technical appeal which assure them in my opinion, the most prominent spot in future planting operations."
