NatureServe Kings Mountain National Military Park iii Acknowledgments We wish to thank all park employees, co-workers, volunteers, and academics who helped with aspects of the preparation, field work, specimen identification, and report writing for this project. In particular we’d like to thank resource manager Chris Revels and technician Rodney Martinez. Mr. Revels allowed our visits to be productive and efficient by supplying past data, housing, GIS resources, and personnel to help us properly research and explore the park. Mr. Martinez worked closely with NatureServe staff in the field and was a welcome and knowledgeable addition to our field work team. Even after we were finished collecting data at the park, Mr. Martinez continued to look for and collect plants for voucher specimens for the collection. We prepared this report for Kings Mountain National Military Park in cooperation with the Inventory and Monitoring Division of the Cumberland/Piedmont Network, National Park Service, Department of the Interior. Teresa Leibfreid of the network provided logistical help throughout the year while supporting the project in an encouraging, thoughtful manner. In addition, Sammi Jo Doyle expertly transferred our data into the correct format for the database NPSpecies. Staff at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill Herbarium were especially helpful, patient, and considerate. Intern Erin Lunsford proofed our plant specimens for identification mistakes and mounted most of the specimens in the collection. Assistant Curator Carol Ann McCormick supplied all the necessary tools for identification (rulers, magnifying lenses, parking permits, coffee). Curator Alan Weakley contributed time in helping with the most challenging plant identification issues. Finally, we thank the entire NatureServe South team for their support throughout the project. Judy Teague used her invaluable ArcView skills to provide us with all plot locations and maps needed to complete the project. Mary Russo entered and managed the plot and species data and aided us when we needed to efficiently query datasets. All members of the team contributed a great deal to the final product.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE BROOKSVILLE, FLORIDA NOTICE OF RELEASE OF FORT COOPER GERMPLASM SPLITBEARD BLUESTEM SOURCE-IDENTIFIED CLASS OF NATURAL GERMPLASM The Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture announces the naming and release of Ft. Cooper Germplasm splitbeard bluestem (Andropogon ternarius Michx.). Ft. Cooper Germplasm splitbeard bluestem has been assigned the NRCS accession number 9060084. This accession was originally identified as pinewoods bluestem (A. arctatus Chapm.) and is classified as such in preliminary PMC research reports referenced in the preparation of this document. Ft. Cooper Germplasm has not been subjected to extensive regional adaptation or performance testing. It is being released to meet an identified need to increase the availability of native grass seed sources that have demonstrated high establishment potential and desirable growth characteristics for use in Florida natural area and rangeland plantings. Immediate demand for this release is considered to be high due to a lack of native grass seed sources in commercial production in the state. Collection Site Information: Seed of Ft. Cooper Germplasm was collected in 1995 by Sharon Pfaff and Mary Anne Gonter from a population of splitbeard bluestem in Citrus County, Florida using a Woodward flail-vac seed stripper (Ag-Renewal, Inc., Weatherford, Oklahoma) mounted on a tractor. The collection site was located on dry sandhills in the northern portion of Ft. Cooper State Park, near the city of Inverness (Section 21, Township 19S, Range 20E). The soil at the collection site was a Candler fine sand with 0 to 5 percent slope. Plants growing in association include longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.); turkey oak (Quercus laevis Walter); sand post oak [Q.

  • Literature Cited
    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.

The session will start at 10 A.M. with a scheduled end point by 12:30 P.M. A board meeting will follow. The sessions will be held in the Clay Tower Building (CTB) room 513, which is the botany lab. If you have any pressed specimens to share, or to ask about, be sure to bring them with as much information as you have on the location and habitat. Even photographs of ferns might be of interest for the session. If you have a hand lens that you favor bring it along as well.

  • Ecological Site F136XY031GA PROVISIONAL - Bottomland Forest, Thermic Temperature Regime
    Natural Resources Conservation Service Ecological site F136XY031GA PROVISIONAL - Bottomland Forest, Thermic Temperature Regime Accessed: 10/02/2021 General information MLRA notes Major Land Resource Area (MLRA): 136X–Southern Piedmont This area is in North Carolina (29 percent), Georgia (27 percent), Virginia (21 percent), South Carolina (16 percent), and Alabama (7 percent). It makes up about 64,395 square miles (166,865 square kilometers). (Ag Bulletin 296) The northeast-southwest trending Piedmont ecoregion comprises a transitional area between the mostly mountainous ecoregions of the Appalachians to the northwest and the relatively flat coastal plain to the southeast. It is a complex mosaic of Precambrian and Paleozoic metamorphic and igneous rocks with moderately dissected irregular plains and some hills. (EPA Ecoregions descriptions) ADD APPROPRIATE ECOREGION DESCRIPTION(S) Classification relationships A PROVISIONAL ECOLOGICAL SITE is a conceptual grouping of soil map unit components within a Major Land Resource Area (MLRA) based on the similarities in response to management. Although there may be wide variability in the productivity of the soils grouped into a Provisional Site, the soil vegetation interactions as expressed in the State and Transition Model are similar and the management actions required to achieve objectives, whether maintaining the existing ecological state or managing for an alternative state, are similar. Provisional Sites are likely to be refined into more precise group during the process of meeting the APPROVED ECOLOGICAL SITE DESCRIPTION criteria. This PROVISIONAL ECOLOGICAL SITE has been developed to meet the standards established in the National Ecological Site Handbook. The information associated with this ecological site does not meet the Approved Ecological Site Description Standard, but it has been through a Quality Control and Quality Assurance processes to assure consistency and completeness.
