  • Wfs57 Southern Wet Ash Swamp Factsheet
    WET FOREST SYSTEM WFs57 Southern Floristic Region Southern Wet Ash Swamp Wet hardwood forests on mucky or peaty soils in areas of groundwater seepage, most often on level stream or river terraces at bases of steep slopes. Community is uncommon and often present as small inclusions within larger forest areas. Vegetation Structure & Composition Description is based on summary of vegetation data from 32 plots (relevés) • Ground layer is characterized by raised peaty hummocks, with open pools and rivulets in seepage areas. Wetland species such as common marsh marigold (Caltha palustris), touch-me-nots (Impatiens spp.), and fowl manna grass (Glyceria striata) are common in wet areas, with Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus spp.), jack-in-the-pulpit (Ari- saema triphyllum), wood nettle (Laportea canadensis), wild geranium (Geranium mac- ulatum), common enchanter’s nightshade (Circaea lutetiana), tall coneflower (Rud- beckia laciniata), and other mesic or wet- mesic forest species present on hummocks. Skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), false mermaid (Floerkea proserpinacoides), brome-like sedge (Carex bromoides), and smooth-sheathed sedge (C. laevivaginata) are sometimes abundant in seepage zones and in Minnesota are essentially restricted to this community. • Shrub layer is sparse (5-25% cover). Black ash seedlings or saplings are almost always present, often with wild black currant (Ribes americanum), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), and nannyberry (Viburnum lentago). • Subcanopy, when present, is patchy to interrupted (25-75% cover) and generally not well differentiated from canopy. • Canopy is patchy to interrupted, with trees often absent from localized areas of groundwater discharge and in some instances limited to margins of the community around open peaty upwelling zones.

BARRINGTON University of Vermont, Department of Plant Biology, Jeffords Hall, 63 Carrigan Drive, Burlington, VT 05405, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT.—Matteuccia struthiopteris (Onocleaceae) has a present-day distribution across much of the north-temperate and boreal regions of the world. Much of its current North American and European distribution was covered in ice or uninhabitable tundra during the Pleistocene. Here we use DNA sequences and AFLP data to investigate the genetic variation of the fiddlehead fern at two geographic scales to infer the historical biogeography of the species. Matteuccia struthiopteris segregates globally into minimally divergent (0.3%) Eurasian and American lineages.

  • Fern Propagation
    Fern Propagation Created and Presented by Shawn Jalbert May 15, 2018 Fern spores vs. seeds Ferns are distinct among plants because of the way they reproduce-by spores instead of seeds. Spores essentially perform the same function as a seed-a means to reproduce and perpetuate the species. The fern life cycle has a number of significant differences compared to flowering plants that we will talk about. As we have seen, seeds have evolved a complex system of dormancy and dormancy breaking requirements involving cold and warm cycles and various seed treatments. Fern spores from different species do not have these complex requirements. Generally speaking, spores from mostly all ferns have the same basic requirements to grow- moisture, warmth, and light. Maidenhair spleenwort, Asplenium trichomanes Growing Ferns from Rhizome Fragments Propagation options….rhizome division. Many species of ferns can be propagated by using rhizome divisions. The adventitious nature of colony forming species naturally lend themselves to this method. Hay scented fern is a rugged species that can cover large expanses of dry, well lighted areas; atypical of what we usually associate with fern habitat. The spreading root system of this fern is segmented and can be easily broken apart, making for quick and easy propagation. Ease of propagation makes this a common species in the trade. Hay-scented fern, Dennstaedtia punctilobula Propagation options….rhizome division. Polypody fern rhizhomes are about the Polypody fern (Polypodium virginianum) grows diameter of a pencil; natural remarkably well on glacial erratics, where it survives on constrictions on the roots allow for shallow pockets of accumulated organic matter.

Pinnule morphology of O. wehrii supports the inclusion of this species in Osmunda subgenus Osmunda, as originally proposed by Miller and suggests a close affinity to O. regalis L. and O. japonica Thunb. New occurrences of the woodwardia aerolata clade are noted for the Late Paleocene of western North Dakota and of a highly reticulate-veined form from the Miocene of western Washington. Re-evaluation of specimens of w. deflexipinna H. Smith (Succor Creek, Miocene) confirms its close affinity to w. virginica J. Smith. A fern with onocleoid anatomy is recognized from the middle Eocene Clarno Nut Beds of Oregon. Together, these examples demonstrate that the presence of critical taxonomic features, even in fragmentary remains, can increase our knowledge of filicalean fern evolution, biogeography and ecology in the Tertiary.

  • VI. Ferns I: the Marattiales and the Polypodiales, Vegetative Features We Now Take up the Ferns, Two Orders That Together Inclu
    VI. Ferns I: The Marattiales and the Polypodiales, Vegetative Features We now take up the ferns, two orders that together include about 12,000 species. Members of these two orders have megaphylls that bear sporangia either abaxially or (rarely) on the margin of the leaf. In addition, they are all spore-dispersed. In this lab, we'll consider the Marattiales, a group of large tropical ferns with primitive features, and the vegetative features of the Polypodiales, the true ferns. A. Marattiales, an Order of Eusporangiate Ferns The Marattiales have a well-documented history. They first appear as tree ferns in the coal swamps right in there with Lepidodendron and Calamites. The living species are prominent in some hot forests, both in tropical America and tropical Asia. They are very like the true ferns (Polypodiales), but they differ in having the common, primitive, thick-walled sporangium, the eusporangium, and in having a distinctive stele and root structure. 1. Living Plants The large ferns on the tables in the lab this week are members of two genera of the Marattiales, Marattia and Angiopteris. a.These plants, like all ferns, have megaphylls. These megaphylls are divided into leaflets called pinnae, which are often divided even further. The feather-like design of these leaves is common among the ferns, suggesting that ferns have some sort of narrow definition to the kinds of leaf design they can evolve. b. The leaflets are borne on stem-like axes called rachises, which, as you can see, have swollen bases on some of the plants in the lab.
