Forest and Plant Communities of Mt Rainier • The zones show regular patterns that result in “associations” of certain shrubs and herbs relating to the dominant, climax tree species. • The nature of the understory vegetation is largely determined by the amount of moisture available and the microclimates that exist.

Some are designed for pollinator attraction (i.e., colors and volatile organic compounds-VOCs); others can act to discourage herbivores (i.e., non-glandular trichomes). Few studies fully address available tools in a single species; notwithstanding, this information can be pivotal in understanding new interactions out of the home range.

  • Washington Park Arboretum (2004) (Pdf)
    i Foreword The results of this project are from the combined efforts of a team of talented students at the University of Washington. The five members of this team came to this project with diverse experiences and knowledge. The team included Landscape Architecture students and Environmental Horticulture/ Urban Forestry students; including undergraduate and graduate students. Amongst the team were individuals with extensive experience in nursery management, municipal arboriculture, landscape design, and environmental consulting. The team even included an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist and Washington State University Master Gardeners. We hope that this project will contribute significantly to the implementation of a Native Plant Synoptic Garden at Washington Park Arboretum. The information contained in this project should be used in conjunction with other previous projects that have focused on the creation of this garden. By combining all this cumulative information, the final stakeholders and designers at Washington Park Arboretum will be able to synthesize and create this world class garden. ii Contents FOREWORD……………………………………………………………………………………..i INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………………..1 Site Location……………………………………………………………………………………..1 Site History……………………………………………………………………………………....1 Project Goals ……………………………………………………………………………………..2 SITE ANALYSIS………………………………………………………………………………...3 Existing Vegetation…………………………………………………………………………….....6 Topography……………………………………………………………………………………....7 Climate…………………………………………………………………………………………..8

Advantages of different breeding systems • asexual reproduction and selfing . reproductive assurance - can reproduce even in small, isolated populations . reduced reproductive effort - no need to produce showy flowers or flowers at all . locally adapted offspring in stable environments . 100% of genes passed to offspring • outcrossing . greater genetic variability in offspring - especially useful in changing environments . reduces inbreeding depression - maintenance of heterozygosity hides expression of deleterious recessive alleles Myrtales other important families include Lythraceae (loosestrife, crape myrtle, pomegranate) and Myrtaceae (eucalyptus, guava, allspice) Onagraceae (evening-primrose family) 22 genera, 656 spp. distributed widely, but especially diverse in western North America and South America herbaceous or woody (shrubs) leaves - simple; variously arranged flowers • actinomorphic or zygomorphic • hypanthium common • sepals usually 4 • petals usually 4 • stamens 4 or 8 . pollen held in strands by sticky viscin threads • pistil compound (4 carpels); ovary inferior • fruit: capsule or berry includes PNW wildflowers (Chamerion angustifolium - fireweed, Oenothera spp. - evening-primrose, Epilobium spp. - willowherb, Clarkia spp., etc.) and ornamentals (Fuchsia spp. - fuchsia, Oenothera spp., Epilobium spp., etc.) Brassicales other important families include Capparidaceae (caper;
