The range of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) is expected to shift northward in accord with changing climate. However, a pattern of increased sugar maple abundance has been reported from sites throughout the eastern US. The goal of our study was to examine the stability of the sugar maple southern range boundary by analyzing its demography through the southern extent of its distribution. We analyzed changes in sugar maple basal area, relative frequency, relative density, relative importance values, diameter distributions, and the ratio of sapling biomass to total sugar maple biomass at three spatial positions near the southern boundary of the species range using forest inventory data from the USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis program over a 20 year observation period (1990-2010). We contend that the southern range boundary of sugar maple neither contracted nor expanded during this period. We speculated that biophysical changes caused by succession may provide a short-lived ...

The Norway maple is a member (and is the type species) of the section Platanoidea Pax, characterised by flattened, disc-shaped seeds and the shoots and leaves containing milky sap. Other related species in this section include Acer campestre (field maple), Acer cappadocicum (Cappadocian maple), Acer lobelii (Lobels maple), and Acer truncatum (Shandong maple). From the field maple, the Norway maple is distinguished by its larger leaves with pointed, not blunt, lobes, and from the other species by the presence of one or more teeth on all of the lobes.[11][12]. It is also frequently confused with the more distantly related Acer saccharum (sugar maple). The sugar maple is easy to differentiate by clear sap in the petiole (leaf stem); Norway maple petioles have white sap. The tips of the points on Norway maple leaves reduce to a fine hair, while the tips of the points on sugar maple leaves are, on close inspection, rounded. On mature trees, sugar maple bark is more shaggy, while Norway maple bark ...

Sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh) growth has been declining throughout most of the Northern Forest, however the complete cause of this growth decline is not fully understood. In this region, sugar maple has three primary stressors: climate change, acidic deposition (leads to depletion of soil nutrients), and insect defoliation. Each one can directly affect sugar maple growth, but in combination these factors may have more complex effects on sugar maple growth and health across a heterogeneous landscape.

A field experiment was established in a secondgrowth hardwood forest dominated by red oak (Quercus rubra L.) to examine the effects of shelterwood overstory density on leaf gas exchange and seedling water status of planted red oak, naturally regenerated red oak and sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) seedlings during the first growing season following harvest. ...

Soil acidification and the disruption of nutrient cycles appear to be important factors that weaken sugar maple resistance to both abiotic and biotic stresses and predispose it to decline symptoms. Although connections between edaphic stress and decline symptoms have been identified, very little is known about the physiological and biochemical mechanisms that underlie this relationship. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that foliar nutrient imbalances impair the photosynthetic apparatus of sugar maple through oxidative stress. We examined leaf nutrition, photosynthesis and antioxidant enzyme activity (a biomarker of oxidative stress) from early June to late August in three-paired overstorey sugar maple stands on Pennsylvanias Allegheny Plateau that contrast in soil nutrient availability according to slope position. Beginning in early June, trees on upper slopes (nutrient-poor) had significantly lower foliar Ca and Mg concentrations and significantly higher foliar Mn concentrations than ...

The study, whose lead author, Stephanie Juice 04, was an undergraduate when the research was conducted, suggests that because acid rain makes the soil more acidic, unfavorable conditions are created for sugar maples. In acidic soils, sugar maples produce fewer seedlings that survive and mature, and more adult trees die, the researchers found. They drew these conclusions after adding nutrients to soil in a test plot and reproducing the favorable soil conditions that existed prior to 20th century industrial pollution. The result: Sugar maples on the plot rebounded dramatically ...

Acer saccharum is a deciduous Tree growing to 30 m (98ft) by 12 m (39ft) at a slow rate. It is hardy to zone (UK) 3. It is in flower from Apr to May, and the seeds ripen from Oct to December. The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects.Suitable for: light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils, prefers well-drained soil and can grow in heavy clay soil. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils and can grow in very acid soils. It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It prefers moist soil. It can tolerate atmospheric pollution.

Acer saccharum is a large maple best known as the source of maple syrup. Temples Upright, also known as Monumentale, has ascending branches and an

Photosynthesis is a fundamental process that trees perform over fluctuating environmental conditions. This study of red maple (Acer rubrum L.) characterizes photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and water use efficiency in planted cultivars relative to wildtype trees. Red maple is common in cities, yet there is little understanding of how physiological processes affect the long-term growth, condition, and ecosystem services provided by urban trees. In the first year of our study, we measured leaf-level gas exchange and performed short-term temperature curves on urban planted cultivars and on suburban and rural wildtype trees. In the second year, we compared urban planted cultivars and urban wildtype trees. In the first year, urban planted trees had higher maximum rates of photosynthesis and higher overall rates of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance throughout the summer, relative to suburban or rural wildtype trees. Urban planted trees again had higher maximum rates of photosynthesis in the second

The artificial defoliation of sugar maple (Acer. saccharum Marsh.) can cause a marked decline in root food reserves, especially starch, and an increase in the levels of the reducing sugars, fructose and glucose. Defoliation can also bring on the dieback-decline syndrome in sugar maples (Parker and Houston 1968). Two experiments designed to examine this question were conducted in 1968-69. In one, the effects of both drought and defoliation were examined; in the second, defoliation was eliminated as a variable. This paper is a report on those experiments. ...

Acer rubrum, commonly called red maple, is a medium-sized, deciduous tree that is native to Eastern North America from Quebec to Minnesota south to Florida and eastern Texas. It typically grows 40-60 tall with a rounded to oval crown. It grows faster than Norway and sugar maples, but slower than silver maple. In northern states, red maple usually occurs in wet bottomland, river flood plains and wet woods, but in Missouri it typically frequents drier, rocky upland areas. Emerging new growth leaves, leafstalks, twigs, flowers, fruit and fall color are red or tinged with red. Quality of red fall color on species plants is variable. Leaves (to 2-5 long) have 3 principal triangular lobes (sometimes 5 lobes with the two lower lobes being largely suppressed). Lobes have toothed margins and pointed tips. Leaves are medium to dark green above and gray green below. Flowers on a given tree are primarily male or female or monoecious and appear in late winter to early spring (March-April) before the ...

Fuel Properties of Sugar Maple and Yellow Birch Wood in Relation with Tree Vigor. Quy Nam Nguyen, Alain Cloutier,* Alexis Achim, and Tatjana Stevanovic. The fuel properties of wood obtained from sugar maple (SM) and yellow birch (YB) of temperate hardwood stands located in the Province of Québec, Canada were studied to see how tree vigor affects the chemical composition and calorific value of the wood. This study focused on the physical and chemical properties of wood with the aim of using the material for the production of solid biofuels. Specific items measured included the woods calorific values, and the levels of extractives, ash, and lignin. Changes in chemical composition were found among tree vigor classes. The low vigor trees had higher extractives, ash, and lignin contents than the vigorous trees. Total extractives ranged between 4.88 and 7.32% in SM, and between 3.35 and 5.12% in YB. Klason lignin ranged between 21.46 and 23.53% in SM, and between 18.60 and 21.51% in YB. Ash content ...

As we are enjoying the reds, oranges, yellows and browns of fall, Ph.D. student Laura Junker (Ensminger Lab) is studying the science behind fall colours. Her first-first authored paper Relationship between leaf optical properties, chlorophyll fluorescence and pigment changes in senescing Acer saccharum leaves was recently published in Tree Physiology. This manuscript investigates the relationship between photosynthetic pigments and optical properties of senescing sugar maple leaves. Although bright colors of senescing leaves are a well-known phenomenon, little is known about their ecophysiological function and their influence on remotely sensed vegetation indices. Laura designed experiments that combined leaf-level measurements of spectral reflectance, image-based color analyses with chlorophyll fluorescence measurements and pigment analyses. She determined vegetation indices suitable to track the progress of senescence, which is relevant to monitoring the effects of climate change on plant ...

A changing global climate may impact the respiration of fine roots. While many models adjust fine root respiration as temperature increases, the influence of soil nutrient availability and the possibility that root respiration may be adapted to local climate are often not addressed. Rates of fine root respiration were measured in four sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) forests located along a latitudinal gradient in Michigan. Root respiration was measured as O2 consumption at temperatures ranging from 6 to 24 C on excised fine root samples in early September, October, and November of 1994. Root respiration increased exponentially with temperature with an average Q10 of 2.7; there were no differences in Q10 among sites. However, there were differences among sites in mean respiration rate at a given temperature. This site effect did not indicate ecotypic adaptation to local climate, but rather reflected fine root N concentration. Respiration at a given temperature was consistently higher in roots ...

All maple produces syrup, but sugar maple produces the most and the sweetest sap. However, a very large well-established and healthy red maple can produce nearly as much as a smaller less-healthy sugar maple.. You can tell sugar maple from red maple because the bark peels from the side; red maple bark peels from the top and bottom.. Trees less then 10 inches in diameter should not be tapped; the recommendation is one tap per tree, two on very large trees. Taps should be moved around the tree (about an inch and a half a year) and up and down a few inches. Spouts should be 5/16, instead of the older 7/16.. An average sugar bush has 50-60 taps per acre (about 30% of the basal area is maple), easy access, and a gentle slope with water and power at the bottom. Roads should be as few and as straight as possible with grades 3-10%; try to keep keep water off your roads.. Tapped maples dont die sooner, but they do grow considerably slower. Regeneration of the sugar bush should be considered - that ...

28 MARCH 2006. A break at last from cold, windy, wet weather. Some good autumn colour here - for the first time in a couple of trees that have been here for years (Carya ovata and Cladrastus lutea). Some Acer rubrum, Betula papyrifera, Sorbus aria and some Acer saccharum are the best performers so far. Most trees produce better colour with each passing year, though many still leave a lot to be desired. Rust has affected Populus balsamifera, as usual. More wind damage this past growing season than previously observed - perhaps just because the trees are getting bigger. Significant branch damage to a few willows, & a few Acer rubrum. A few pines and Cupressus macrocarpa flattened. Two Nothofagus cliffortoides died in waterlogged soil.. ...

In urban watersheds, street tree leaf litter is a critical biogenic source of phosphorus (P) in stormwater runoff. Stormwater extracts P from leaf litter and transports it, through the storm sewer network, to a receiving waterbody potentially causing downstream eutrophication. The goal of this study is to understand P leaching dynamics of two prevalent tree species (Norway maple (Acer platanoides) and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica)) in three urban residential watersheds in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. Leaf litter was collected from the three basins during Fall 2017 and 2018. Laboratory experiments showed an initial rapid total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) release that gradually plateaued over a 48-hour period. The total TDP released from Norway maple (2.10 mg g) was greater than from green ash (1.60 mg g). Within the same species, increased fragmentation of leaves led to more rapid initial TDP release, but not greater total TDP release. Increased aging of senescent leaves decreased total TDP ...

Maple Tree Details. Our previous blogs about trees, My Tree Leaks, Maple Syrup were based on our theory of osmosis, Osmosis: The Molecular Theory, 2013 and measurements from our own sugar maple tree. We tapped the tree by drilling a 2 ½ deep hole through the bark and inserting a 3/8 pipe with a pressure gauge as shown in figure 1. The pipe was capped so we only measured pressure and did not withdraw liquid. If we uncapped the pipe, we would expect a sudden short gush of sap followed by a slow dripping flow. Figure 1 Pressure gage inserted in Sugar Maple Tree. We propose that vapor pressure difference causes sap to rise from the roots to the leaves. Sap rises from cell to cell as vaper pressure driven osmosis and vapor, or capillary, flow in the intercellular spaces. Tree sap is mostly water. Water from 40 gallons of sap is evaporated to get one gallon of maple syrup. Evaporation from the leaves lowers the vapor pressure in the upper parts of the tree. Maple tree sap is collected in the ...

Acer triflorum, the three-flowered maple, is a species of maple native to hills of northeastern China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning) and Korea. It is a deciduous tree that reaches a height of about 25 metres (82 ft) but is usually smaller.[2][3] It is a trifoliate maple related to such other species as Manchurian Maple (Acer mandshuricum) and Paperbark Maple (Acer griseum). It has yellowish-brown exfoliating bark that peels in woody scales rather than papery pieces like Acer griseum.[3] The leaves have a 2.5-6 centimetres (0.98-2.36 in) petiole and three leaflets; the leaflets are 4-9 centimetres (1.6-3.5 in) long and 2-3.5 centimetres (0.79-1.38 in) broad, with serrated margins, the central leaflet the same size as or slightly larger than the two side leaflets. The flowers are yellow, produced in small corymbs of three small flowers each, hence the name. The samaras are 3.5-4.5 centimetres (1.4-1.8 in) long and 1.3-2 cm broad, hairy, the nutlet with a woody shell.[2][3] Even more than its ...

In a silviculture experiment in east-central Maine, USA, natural regeneration was sampled to measure the effects of: (1) a range of partial harvest intensities, and (2) repeated partial harvest at one intensity. Under the first objective, five treatments were compared with residual basal areas ranging from 15 to 24 m2 ha-1 for trees ≥ 1.3 cm diameter at breast height. For the second objective, regeneration was evaluated after four harvests at 5 year intervals. Prior to harvests, the overstory of all the treated stands was dominated by Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr., Picea spp. A. Dietr., and Abies balsamea (L.) Mill. Eleven species or species groups were identified among the regeneration: A. balsamea, T. canadensis, Picea spp., Thuja occidentalis L., Pinus spp. L., Betula papyrifera Marsh., Acer rubrum L., Betula populifolia Marsh., Populus spp. L., Fagus grandifolia Ehrh. and Prunus serotina Ehrh. Regeneration abundance was measured as counts of seedlings or sprouts taller than 15 cm but with ...

In 1987 a study was conducted in controlled environment chambers to determine the foliar sensitivity of tree seedlings of eight species to ozone and acidic precipitation, and to determine the influence of leaf position on symptom severity. Jensen and Dochinger conducted concurrent similar studies in Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) chambers with ten species of forest trees. Based on the results of these initial studies, four species representing a range in foliar sensitivity to ozone were chosen: black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.), red maple (Acer rubrum L.), northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) and yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.). These species were also chosen because of their ecological and/or commercial importance in Pennsylvania. Seedlings were exposed in growth chambers simulated acid rain. In addition acute exposures to sulfur dioxide were conducted in a regime based on unpublished monitoring data collected near coal-fired power plants. The objective of this study was ...

Light corn syrup can be used in place of cane syrup using equal quantities. Pure maple syrup (the kind tapped from a tree) is an even better option, because it undergoes less processing than refined sugars. Maple syrup and honey are best in moderation. This article looks at the types, benefits, and risks of molasses. sind einige der häufig verwendeten Süßungsmittel. Date syrup has more than twice the potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels of maple syrup or honey, with up to 10 times the antioxidants. In one study, honey decreased triglycerides in patients with hypertriglyceridemia and reduced low density lipoproteins in patients with hyperlipidemia, however, artificial honey had the opposite effects. 5. This allows your body to use it more efficiently for energy, rather than giving you a rapid rush and crash. Youll need to double the amount, so if the recipe calls for 1/2 cup molasses, youll use 1 cup brown rice syrup. Is maple syrup better for you than sugar? Maple syrup is made for ...

Some of the more common species grown in Minnesota are sugar maple, Norway maple, basswood, Kentucky coffeetree, black locust, black cherry, black walnut, oak, buckeye, crabapple, pines and spruces. Researchers have found these species suffer severe injury or die if flood waters persist over their roots for one month or less. Flood waters will eventually recede but soils will undoubtedly remain wet for a long time. Saturated, poorly-drained soils may pose the greatest hazard for trees, particularly if this waterlogged condition persists for an extended period. Warm, dry weather is the only cure for these chronic and potentially deadly soil conditions. Sensitive trees along the Mississippi River will probably be pushed to their limit as flood waters are predicted to persist for quite some time. Climate projections indicate that it will be wetter in the decades ahead than it is now, and that heavy rains will continue increasing into the future. ...

The Arnold Arboretum has an extensive collection of maples (Acer spp.), containing 141 of the approximately 230 botanical taxa from around the world. Because of its diverse and numerous holdings of wild-collected maples, the Arnold Arboretum is designated as one of the Plant Collection Networks maple collection sites. Our collection is especially rich in rare and unusual Asian maples, including a number of endangered species.. Because of these valuable accessions, the Arboretums maple collection was ranked as the most significant in the world for conservation purposes in a report by Botanic Gardens Conservation International. This organization, which promotes plant conservation efforts at botanic gardens and similar institutions, analyzed the maple collections of 228 institutions in 37 countries and found that the Arboretum holds the greatest number of Acer species listed as endangered or critically endangered in the wild..

Bacterial leaf scorch (BLS) is an infectious disease that spreads systemically and causes a slow decline and death of the tree. The disease is caused by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. Although BLS was mainly found in eastern and southern states, it is now now frequent in western Kentucky and Indiana. Last summer, we confirmed six cases on pin oaks in cen-tral Illinois. A case on shingle oak was also confirmed in Springfield. The bacterial pathogen cannot be iso-lated in the lab like most bacteria. It can be confirmed using serological techniques. Because our lab is not equipped for this test, we refer people to private labs. One nearby lab is AGDIA, Inc., in Elkhardt, Indiana.. Frequent hosts in the United States include elm, oak, sycamore, mulberry, sweetgum, sugar maple, and red maple. As stated, however, oak seems to be our most common host in Illinois. Look for scorch symp-toms that occur in early summer to midsummer and then intensify in late summer. The scorched leaf edges or tissue ...

Any one can see the splendid even yellow of the sugar maple or the sober scarlet of the red maple, but it takes a trained eye to discover all the complexity of color that there is on the roadside in early October, when the sky is clear and blue. The gray birch and the white birch are turned a brilliant golden yellow; the white trunks are spotted with palest of violet-blue shadows. The lichen-covered rocks in the stone wall are not gray, but green-gray of a sagey tone spotted with bits of brownish crimson. The beech bole is a mixture of pearly white and bluish gray, broadly spread with lilac shadows, and the leaves are the palest possible Naples yellow. The Virginia creeper (Ampelopsis quinquefolia) bas turned not a pure crimson, but a deep, rich, cardinal red and maroon, and the berries with stems of coral-red are a misty cadet-blue. Everywhere the shadows on the roadside are bluish, and not a hint of black or neutral gray is visible. I can not prove this, of course, by bluntly asserting the ...

Native to the western United states and Canada, rocky mountain maple is a large deciduous shrub that inhabits a variety of mountainous habitats. It can grow in full sun on dry ridges at mid to high elevations, in rocky canyons and gorges, or in part shade in moist locations along streams, seeps or lake margins. Rocky mountain maple can also grow as an understory plant in forests and along forest margins. This multi-stemmed shrub is known to grow up to 30′ tall, but in the Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion it typically grows 10′-20′ tall. Rocky mountain maple has yellowish-green flowers that bloom in late spring. The fruit is a samara with two winged seeds. It is grown as an ornamental shrub in many gardens due to its showy fall color (yellow, orange, or red). Many large animals browse the stems and leaves of rocky mountain maple and small mammals and birds eat the seeds. It is also a larval host plant to numerous butterflies and moths, including Western tiger swallowtail butterfly, mourning cloak ...

Acer campestre is commonly called hedge maple. It is native to Europe and western Asia, frequently being found on plains, hills and along rivers. It is also sometimes commonly called field maple (campestre meaning from fields). This is a small, low-branched, dense, rounded, deciduous tree or large multi-stemmed shrub that typically grows in cultivation to 25-35 tall. As the common name suggests, it may be pruned to form a tall hedge. In England it is often included in hedgerows ...

Much of the mainland Appalachian region is forested. Coniferous trees grow in the higher areas, both inland and on the coast. Forests of black and white spruce and balsam fir are found there. Hardwood forests of white and yellow birch, beech, and sugar maple once grew in the higher area. They have been almost completely logged ...

The Wild and Scenic Sturgeon River rushes out of the northern portion of this Wilderness, over the 20-foot volcanic outcropping of Sturgeon Falls, and through a gorge that reaches 300 feet in depth and a mile in width. Throughout this rugged, steep Wilderness, the Sturgeon and Little Silver Rivers and their tributaries have carved falls, rapids, ponds, oxbows, and terraces. Stunning views are possible from the eastern rim of the gorge. Except for a few naturally bare slopes, most of the land is forested with pine, hemlock, aspen, sugar maple, birch, and basswood. When the leaves of the hardwoods change color in fall, they form a vivid tapestry. On a trek through here you might see deer, bears, mink, otters, beavers, skunks, and foxes. Woodcocks and ruffed grouse are common, and bald eagles and ospreys are seen on occasion. Streams do not produce many trout, and the endangered lake sturgeon finds habitat farther downriver. There are few established trails in Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness, and a ...

Everyone has probably heard at one time or another that earthworms have really positive effects in breaking down soil and making it more porous, Loss explains. This is true in agricultural and garden settings but not in forests in the Midwest which have developed decomposition systems without earth worms. Because the forested areas of the Midwest U.S. were once covered in glaciers, there are no native earthworm species present in the soil. These earthworm-free forests developed a slow fungus-based decomposition process characterized by a deep organic litter layer on the forest floor, Loss says. Earthworms feed on this layer of leaf litter and make it decompose much faster, Loss explains. As a result, we see the loss of sensitive forest-floor species such as trillium, Solomons seal, sarsaparilla and sugar maple seedlings and a shift in dominance to disturbance-adapted species like Pennsylvania sedge.. One result is reduced nest concealment for the ovenbird and increased predation by ...

Growth and Yield- The height growth of slippery elm is most rapid in trees 20 cm. (8 in) or less in d.b.h. In a streamside forest in Illinois, slippery elm increased 10 cm (0.4 in) in d.b.h. from 25 cm (9.7 in) to 26 cm (10.1 in) in 11 years. In a stand in Polk County, WI, suppressed and intermediate trees grew 11 mm (0.43 in) while codominant and dominant trees grew 2.9 cm (1.14 in) in 8 years.. On average sites, slippery elm reaches 18.3 to 21.3 m (60 to 70 ft) in height and 61 to 91 cm (24 to 36 in) in d.b.h. On the best sites individuals may reach 41.1 m (135 ft) in height and 122 cm (48 in) in d.b.h. The largest living specimen, located in Perry County, PA, is 27.4 rn (90 ft) tall and 193 cm (76 in) in d.b.h.. Reaction to Competition- On sites to which it is well adapted, slippery elm is one of the more shade-tolerant species. It is much more tolerant than quaking aspen but slightly less tolerant than sugar maple. Reproduction is erratic under fully stocked stands. In a river terrace forest ...

Look for ash trees, in deciduous woodlands and forest edges and even your own plot of land. Depending on your location you may come across a number of different species. The white ash tends to favor forests that contain sugar maples, whilst the green ash is likely to dominate areas of disturbed land in-between rivers and fields. However all fruits of the ash tree are edible. These small fruits form in spring so this is the best time to begin foraging.. Make sure to pick the fruits before the seeds begin to fully form. The younger the fruits, the more improved their taste and texture will be.. Due to their endangered status, foraging should be carried out in a careful and sustainable manner. Make sure not to over harvest the fruits so as to allow new trees to take seed.. ...

Burns said the event encompasses a blend of services and not just medical providers, but also organizations like the Lions Club.. This year the event will be commemorated by burying a time capsule and planting a sugar maple tree. Burns said the event has been going on for so long that some adults who attend the festival with their children had attended when they were kids themselves. Burns idea is that the ...

I spent about 12 years working dairy in the Catskills of N.Y. Farm sizes there varied hugely early on partly because of topography and partly how things were surveyed. There is no such things as sections and section lines. Subdivisions were originally based on land grants. Many farms had sugar bushes (groves of sugar maples) and that required even more firewood for boiling sap. When the railroads and commercial dairy for the costal city market came in in the late 1800s many small farms were combined and ones that were too steep for cars to access were often abandoned in the early 1900s.

Maple syrup is delightful to have on pancakes for example. Now new research conducted at the University of Tokyo suggests that pure maple syrup may promote a healthy liver. The pilot study, conducted by Dr. Keiko Abe of the University of Tokyos Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, showed that healthy laboratory rats fed a diet in which some of the carbohydrate was replaced with pure maple syrup from Canada yielded significantly better results in liver function tests than the control groups fed a diet with a syrup mix containing a similar sugar content as maple syrup. The results will be published in the November, 2011 issue of Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry. Although most healthy individuals take liver function for granted, liver health is of great importance because of the hundreds of vital functions it performs that are essential to human life, which include storing energy (glycogen) and regulating blood glucose, the production of certain amino acids (building ...
