Description:The Red List of Oaks 2020 provides and analyzes International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assessments for the estimated 430 species in the genus Quercus--the most complete and comprehensive global analysis of extinction risk for oaks. In 2015, The Morton Arboretum established a partnership with the IUCN/SSC (Species Survival Commission) Global Tree Specialist Group to assess all oak species by 2020, including reassessments of the species in the 2007 publication, in support of the Global Tree Assessment (GTA) initiative.

The Elms: Breeding, Conservation, and Disease Management (3.103320)
Date: 2000Type: Book
Description:Elms occur, both naturally and cultivated, throughout much of the temperate world. Because of their high tolerance to extreme growing conditions and their widespread distribution, elms have been widely planted in cities, towns and rural areas throughout North America and northern Europe. As such, their current demise due to several pandemics of Dutch elm disease has spurred a huge body of research on breeding for disease resistance, conservation and systematics. THE ELMS: Breeding, Conservation and Disease Management provides the current state of knowledge in these areas and is an important reference work for pathologists, breeders, taxonomists, and arborists.

Tree & Shrub Handbook: Selection, Care, Pests, Diseases (3.62624)
Date: 2002Type: Book
Description:In 1994, under the guidance of Morton Arboretum researcher Dr. Gary Watson, and with support from the USDA Forest Service, The Morton Arboretum published the Tree Care Guide Handbook as an easy, practical guide. In 1999, we expanded the guide's emphasis to include shrubs and other plants, and retitled it in the Tree & Shrub Handbook. The handbook is popular with homeowners, horticulturists, arborists, landscapers, and others who appreciate its application to Midwest landscapes. The second edition enhances the handbook's scope even more by adding 16 new titles on plant selection, care, pests, and diseases.
Much of the handbook's information reflects the Arboretum's research and horticulture experience, as well as the expertise, as well as the expertise of our research and green industry colleagues in the Midwest and around the globe.

Conservation Gap Analysis of Native U.S. Oaks (3.67005)
Date: July 2019Creator: Beckman Bruns, Emily, Denvir, Audrey, Westwood, Murphy
Type: Article
Description:Oaks are critical to the health and function of forest and shrubland habitats in the United States, but many native oaks are threatened with extinction in the wild. Ongoing conservation efforts exist for some species, but with growing threats and limited resources and time, prioritization and coordination of conservation actions is critical. To facilitate these efforts, we conducted a comprehensive survey of both the achievements and most urgent needs for in situ (on-site) and ex situ (off-site) conservation of priority at-risk oak species in the U.S.
