Cold brachythecium moss(Brachythecium frigidum)... is a shiny moss that can be green, brownish, rich golden or golden brown in colour, that exists in moderately dense mats. This species is very common in western North America and can be confused with other species despite having distinctive characters. The leaves have a somewhat auriculate base formed by the convex group of enlarged pellucid alar cells, a conspicuous row of large cells across the insertion, strong plication and evenly serrulate to serrate margins. Cold brachythecium moss can be found in soil in wet places, moderate shade to open sun, on rock and fallen trunks. It is found in Alberta and British Columbia in low to high elevations ranging from 0 to 3, 300 [metres above sea level]... 1, record 3, English, - cold%20brachythecium%20moss

Grape phylloxera, Daktulosphaira vitifoliae (Fitch) is an insect pest which attacks many grape species both wild and cultivated. During feeding, phylloxera secrete a chemical which causes plant tissue to grow near the feeding site, resulting in the characteristic galls. Phylloxera is an indirect pest of grapes, damaging vines by feeding on plant sap from roots, leaves and tendrils, but not causing actual fruit injury.

Le phylloxera de la vigne, Daktulosphaira vitifoliae (Fitch) est un insecte nuisible qui s'attaque à de nombreuses espèces de vigne, à la fois sauvages et cultivées. Il est responsable de l'apparition de galles à l'endroit où il s'alimente. Ces galles se forment à la suite de la sécrétion par l'insecte, pendant qu'il s'alimente, d'un produit chimique qui cause la prolifération des tissus. Le phylloxera est un ravageur indirect qui endommage les vignes en s'alimentant de la sève qui circule dans les racines, les feuilles et les vrilles. Il ne cause toutefois pas de dommages véritables aux fruits. On le décrit souvent comme un insecte suceur qui fait penser au puceron ou au pou. 4, record 10, French, - phyllox%C3%A9ra%20de%20la%20vigne

The boreal forest is divided into two great transcontinental belts of approximately equal size : the subarctic open lichen woodland and the closed crown forest. This major horizontal sectioning of the two areas reflects the steady dropping of temperature from south to north. The more northern subarctic lichen woodland is a handsome landscape mostly unknown to Canadians because of its few settlements and roads(and also very abundant black flies!). Northern stands of scattered spruce and jack pine, accompanied by balsam fir in Quebec, form attractive open-canopied areas carpeted with yellow, green and light grey lichens.
