RPFs shall conduct focused surveys for all THPs within the Coastal Lagoons and Little River BMA. RPFs shall be responsible for reporting the presence of any unique, high quality, sensitive plant habitat within their project area, e.g. bogs, well developed lakes or ponds, coastal prairie or large mossy boulders or rock outcrops. When Lycopodium clavatum is encountered within THP areas voluntary, non-enforceable PPMs will be applied. These PPMs include establishing ELZs for select populations and retaining non-merchantable trees. If other sensitive species are observed, the RPF will consult with GDRCo botany staff.

Baldwin, Chair This study investigated how habitat specialization affects the evolution and ecology of flowering plants. Specifically, a phylogenetic framework was used to investigate how trait evolution, lineage diversification, and biogeography of the western American flora are affected by two forms of substrate endemism: (1) edaphic specialization onto serpentine soils, and (2) host specialization of non-photosynthetic, holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. Previous studies have noted a correlation between presence on serpentine soils and a suite of morphological and physiological traits, one of which is the tendency of several serpentine-tolerant ecotypes to flower earlier than nearby closely related populations not growing on serpentine.

  • Flowering Dicots Before I Worked on This Project, I Had No Idea How to Apply GIS to Basic Ecological Concepts
    Galbreath Wildlands Preserve Galbreath Special Status Species Assessment – Flowering Dicots Before I worked on this project, I had no idea how to apply GIS to basic ecological concepts. – Christoph Schopfer, Geography Major Project Summary A team of students and Center staff mapped potential habitat for 110 special status plants and animals on the Galbreath Wildlands Preserve. We identified special status species with potential to occur in the Galbreath Preserve using existing agency databases and publications. These included fungi, bryophytes, plants, invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. For each species, we collected biological information, undertook GIS-based habitat suitability analysis, and assessed the likelihood of occurrence within preserve boundaries. The project created professional experience for Biology and Geography undergraduates and graduate students who worked on an interdisciplinary team to develop assessment techniques and methods. See Methods (PDF) and Species List (PDF) for additional information. Project Lead: Claudia Luke Dates: 2010-2011 Funding: Robert and Sue Johnson Family Students: Neal Ramus (Business), Emily Harvey (Biology), Kandis Gilmore (Biology), Linden Schneider (Biology), Christoph Schopfer (Geography), James Sherwood (Geography) Flowering Dicots These results are part of a larger assessment of all special status species with potential to occur at the Galbreath Wildlands Preserve. Assessments were conducted as planning exercise and do not constitute evidence of occurrence.

Previous studies have noted a correlation between presence on serpentine soils and a suite of morphological and physiological traits, one of which is the tendency of several serpentine-tolerant ecotypes to flower earlier than nearby closely related populations not growing on serpentine. A phylogenetically uncorrected ANOVA supports this hypothesis, developed predominantly through previously published comparisons of conspecific or closely related ecotypes. However, comparisons among three models of trait evolution, as well as phylogenetic independent contrasts across 24 independent clades of plants that include serpentine tolerant species in California and with reasonably resolved phylogenies, revealed no significant affect of flowering time in each of these genera.
