1 Dichotomous Key Biology Lab Over 60,000 different tree species exist in out world. Identifying one species from another is as easy as answering a list of yes/no questions, called a dichotomous key. Answering the first question will lead to to another question, like choosing an action in an adventure book will take you to another page in the book, and so on. Let s see how a dichotomous key works. The Planet Pamishan On the next page is a photo array of different animals living on an imaginary planet. We can figure out the name of each animal by using the dichotomous key on the following page. Here s how we can identify Animal #1. The first trait we need to identify is head size. Since #1 has a narrow head, we are directed to question 11. That question asks whether the animal has antennae. It does, so we go to question 15, and determine whether it has a mouth. It does, so we move on to Question 16. Since the animal has spikes on its leg, we now know its name; Narrowus portus. We can repeat the process for all of the other species on the page. Make sure you start with Question #1 every time you want to identify a new species! dich /23/18

5 Dichotomous Key Biology Lab West Coast Trees We were able to name the Pamishan creatures by determining their characteristic traits (head shape, number of eyes, leg shape). We can apply the same procedure to identifying any tree on Earth. Each tree on our planet can be described by a short list of traits that all trees possess. You need to know how each trait is expressed before you use a tree identification dichotomous key. So let s start with some basic vocabulary. Tree Traits Go to the VCU website, and define the following terms. Coniferous Deciduous Simple leaf Compound leaf dich /23/18
6 Dichotomous Key Biology Lab Alternate leaves Opposite leaves Palmate leaf Pinnate leaf Lobed leaf Unlobed leaf dich /23/18
7 Dichotomous Key Biology Lab Now that we understand the various tree traits, let s use a dichotomous key to identify trees that grow in the western United States. You can use the dichotomous key on the next page, or the Oregon State tree app to identify the following trees. A -- Dogwood B -- Sweetgum C -- Spruce D -- Sequoia E -- Apple F -- Walnut G -- Juniper H -- Buckeye I -- Oak J -- Pine K -- Cedar L -- Maple M -- Cypress N -- Locust O -- Ash P -- Redwood R -- Cedar Write the letter of the correct tree for each picture number dich /23/18

10 Dichotomous Key Biology Lab Back in the City We can apply the same West Coast tree technique to naming trees on our Brooklyn city blocks. On the next two pages is an array of the most common trees in our city. Use your materials to answer the following questions. 1) Describe one of the NYC tress using the following terms: simple/common, alternate/opposite, coniferous/deciduous, palmate/ pinnate. 2) Describe a second tree using the same vocabulary 3) And a third tree. 4) Can the dichotomous tree we used to identify trees in the western US be used to identify all NYC trees? Why or why not? dich /23/18
11 Dichotomous Key Biology Lab 5) The 2005 tree census, like our national Constitutional census, counts the number of trees in our city. Go to the NYC tree map website, and list the trees next to your residence. Describe their traits using the vocabulary listed on pages Extra Credit Go the University of WIsconsin Tree Identification website, and identify the trees.

15 VCU Materials Opposite vs Alternate The arrangement of leaves on the stem/branch can be opposite (in pairs, directly across from each other on the branch) or alternate (singly and alternate from one side of the stem/branch to the other) Choose the arrangement that is most like your tree. If you are having trouble determining whether the leaves are alternate or opposite, sometimes you can look at the twigs on a branch. As each twig originates from where a leaf used to be, their pattern should be the same as the leaf pattern. Always look at more then one leaf/ twig/branch as sometimes they can be broken off during growth and this can alter the pattern. Opposite Alternate Opposite - Compound vs Simple The next step is to look more closely at a single leaf to determine if it is compound or simple. This has more to do with the structure of the leaf itself than with the position of the leaf on the stem. One of the defining characterstics of a leaf is that at the base of the leaf stem (petiole) there is a small bud called the axillary bud. Sometimes this bud is covered by the petiole so make sure you look carefully. If there is no axillary bud at the base of the petiole, then the structure is not a leaf but rather a leaflet and the leaf, as a whole, is compound. Compound Simple dich /23/18
16 VCU Materials Alternate - Compound vs Simple The next step is to look more closely at a single leaf to determine if it is compound or simple. This has more to do with the structure of the leaf itself than with the position of the leaf on the stem. One of the defining characterstics of a leaf is that at the base of the leaf stem (petiole), there is a small bud called the axillary bud. Sometimes this bud is covered by the petiole so make sure you look carefully. If there is no axillary bud at the base of the petiole, then the structure is not a leaf but rather a leaflet and the leaf, as a whole, is compound. Compound leaves are composed of multiple leaflets, while simple leaves do not have leaflets at all. Compound Simple Opposite & Compound - Pinnate vs Palmate Pinnate means that the veins resemble a feather: one main vein with many smaller veins branching off. The palmate vein pattern looks roughly like the outspread fingers of your hand. All of the main veins in the leaf originate at the base of the leaf and fan outward. Pinnate Palmate dich /23/18
17 VCU Materials Opposite & Simple - Lobed vs Unlobe Lobes are large and distinct indentations of the margin of the leaf. The depth/degree of the lobe, referred to as the sinus, can be useful in identifying a plant, as can the number of lobes on the leaf. Leaves without lobes will have an edge devoid of major indentations. Lobed Unlobe dich /23/18
