Plants of Lanark County, Ontario (2016 ed.) Page 2 David J. White, January 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank a number of people for their important contribution to the checklist. Dan Brunton, Ottawa, has provided many records, offered on-going support and encouragement, helped with identifications, and reviewed several earlier drafts of the list. Mike Oldham, Natural Heritage Information Centre, Peterborough, reviewed earlier drafts of the list, provided advice and many records over the years, and made available the database of Lanark County records from the herbarium of Queen’s University. Mike also checked the identification of over 100 of my voucher specimens of grasses and sedges. Stephen Darbyshire, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa, reviewed the grass family, provided a number of records, and helped locate relevant literature. Don Cuddy, formerly with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), Kemptville, made field notes available and reviewed several early drafts of the list. I would like to thank several former colleagues (all now retired) from the Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa. Albert Dugal provided many records and helped with identifications. Mike Shchepanek made field notes available, provided printouts of records from the Museum’s plant database, and helped locate some references. George Argus helped with identification of some Willow (Salix) collections and reviewed that section of a draft of the list. Jim Soper provided access to his site records and data files of Ontario shrubs. Patsie Rothschild (formerly of Sheridans Rapids) made many important discoveries, took me to special places, and also reviewed several early drafts of the list. The late Adolf Vogg, Arnprior, explored much of the northern portion of the county and contributed many records to this list. Adolf's enthusiasm for botanizing new places and finding new plants helped to keep me interested in the checklist project during the early years. Eleanor Thomson, Merrickville, provided numerous records of new and significant species—based on her recent inventory work in several parts of the county—and took the author to several special locations. Graham Page of Ottawa contributed many recent county records, has accompanied me on numerous trips, and has taken me to many interesting locations he has found in the county. Jean Griffin, Perth, provided a number of new records and took the author to several special locations. Howard Clifford of the (now-closed) Alba Wilderness School, Flower Station, took the author to a number of diverse areas on the extensive Clifford family property. I would also like to thank several people who contributed one to a few records each: Jack Harris and Wendy Frise of Guelph, Heather Patterson of Kitchener, Ken Allison of Almonte, Ron Hepworth of Brantford, Nora Mansfield of Perth, Kristl Walek, formerly of North Gower, and Dawson Girdwood of Perth. Joyce and Allan Reddoch, Ottawa, supplied the records from the Native Orchid Location Survey and reviewed the orchid section of the draft list. The late Clarrie Frankton, formerly of Agriculture Canada, Ottawa, reviewed an early draft of the list and helped with some identifications. Ted Mosquin, Fallbrook, provided many records and took the author to several interesting areas. Tobi Kiesewalter, Murphys Point Provincial Park, provided park observations and helped the author relocate several old records. Bill Crins, formerly of Ontario Parks, Peterborough, helped with several identifications, mainly in the genus Carex. Cathy and Paul Keddy, Carleton Place, provided many important records and took the author to a number of diverse areas on their large property. Kathy Sauvé, former Park Superintendent for Murphys Point and Silver Lake Provincial Parks, Mike Ogilvie, Park Superintendent for Murphys Point Provincial Park, and John Immerseel, Ontario Parks Southeastern Zone Manager, allowed the author to conduct plant studies in the two parks. I would also like to thank the curators and collection managers of the Ottawa-Hull herbaria of Agriculture Canada and the Canadian Museum of Nature for helping with access to Lanark County specimens. Alice White helped with editing and data checking, and Katy (Williams) White helped on several field trips. Finally, I would like to thank Shaun Thompson, MNR, Kemptville, who arranged funding in 1998 to enable my rough draft list to progress to a useable—albeit preliminary—state. Without the help and encouragement of the above-mentioned people, this list would be little more than a pile of field notes and several boxes of file cards. Plants of Lanark County, Ontario (2016 ed.) Page 3 David J. White, January 2016 INTRODUCTION The following checklist presents the 1309 taxa (species, subspecies, varieties, and hybrids) of native and non- native vascular plants known by the author to occur in Lanark County. Vascular plants are those which have vessels or ducts to transport fluids. Included are trees, shrubs, herbaceous flowering plants (annual and perennial), ferns, clubmosses, and horsetails, but not mosses, lichens, or algae. For a non-native plant to be included on the list, it must have been found growing in the county without the aid of cultivation. There are numerous garden plants and agricultural crops on this list, but all were found where they had spread on their own and were surviving untended. It is hoped that making this list available will encourage the recording of new species, the reporting of additional records of rare and sparse plants, and the refining of the status designations. The list should be regarded as a working list and a ‘snapshot in time’ of the Lanark flora. A county checklist can be a useful aid to plant identification when used along with floras and field guides that cover a larger geographical area. By highlighting significant native species (rare or sparse) the list should be a useful reference for environmental impact studies and natural area evaluations. The author began collecting and recording Lanark County plants in 1975 when a 100-acre property was purchased for a home in Dalhousie Township. The first rough draft of the county checklist was prepared in 1987, the second draft (containing 922 taxa) was completed in 1990, the third draft (containing 1080 taxa) was written in 1998, the fourth draft (containing 1129 taxa) was circulated to a small group of reviewers in 1999, and the fifth draft (containing 1260 taxa) was completed in 2004. The 2006 version of the list, that was made available on the www.lanarkflora.com web site to anyone interested, contained information on 1271 taxa. The 2008 revision brought the total to 1289 taxa, where it remained in the 2009 update. In 2009, a new section on Significant Areas (page 10) was added to highlight areas with exceptional plant diversity and rare plant concentrations. The 2010 edition added six new species to bring the total to 1295 taxa. The 2011 version added two species and brought the list to 1297 taxa. The 2013 edition added five new species to bring the total known in the county to 1302 taxa. UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS The 2016 update is a relatively minor revision of the previous (2013) edition. Eight new taxa (species and hybrids) have been added: Campanula trachelium—Nettle-leaved Bellflower; Euonymus alata—Winged Burning-bush; Isoetes septentrionalis—Northern Quillwort; Isoetes ×dodgei—Dodge's Quillwort; Mentha ×gentilis—Red Mint; Potamogeton ×faxonii—Hybrid Pondweed; Spiranthes magnicamporum—Great Plains Ladies'-tresses; and Staphylea trifolia—Bladdernut. Salix ×rubens—Hybrid Willow has been subsumed under Salix ×fragilis (following FNA, 2016) reducing the list count by one. There have been additional records of rare, sparse, and uncommon species, resulting in status designation changes for quite a few plants. Recently published volumes in the Flora North America project (FNA, 2016) have necessitated a number of nomenclatural changes in Salicaceae, Brassicaceae, and Rosaceae. SOURCES The list is based on the author's collections and sight records from 1975 to the present; the specimens housed at the herbaria of the Canadian Museum of Nature (CAN) in Aylmer, Que, and Agriculture Canada (DAO), in Ottawa; and the sight and specimen records of: Patsie Rothschild, Ottawa; the late Adolf Vogg, Arnprior; Dan Brunton, Ottawa; Don Cuddy, formerly with the Ministry of Natural Resources, Kemptville; Albert Dugal, Mike Shchepanek, and Jim Soper, all formerly with the Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa; Stephen Darbyshire, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa; Ted Mosquin, Lanark; Eleanor Thomson, Merrickville; Paul and Cathy Keddy, Carleton Place; and Sheila and Harry Thomson, Ottawa.

    2005 THE MICHIGAN BOTANIST 13 THE ROLE OF FIRE IN GREAT LAKES ALVAR LANDSCAPES Judith Jones1 and Carol Reschke2 1Author for correspondence. Winter Spider Eco-Consulting, R.R. #1 Sheguiandah, Manitoulin Island, Ontario P0P 1W0 Canada E-mail: [email protected] . 2The Natural Resources Research Institute University of Minnesota 5013 Miller Trunk Highway Duluth, Minnesota 55811 E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The role of fire in alvar landscapes in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada was examined through the notes of the original land surveyors, through field work which looked for burn evidence, and through a comparison of alvars on two sets of aerial photographs taken 40 to 45 years apart. The results show that alvars existed in all regions of the Great Lakes prior to settlement of the area by European immigrants. Also, fire can create alvars and has done so in the last 150 years. Some alvar community types correlate strongly with past burning while others correlate with no burning. Some community types show noticeable change in a 40 year period while others show lit- tle or none. Although the presence of burn evidence is common, fire is shown to be infrequent in alvar landscapes, with some communities experiencing fire return intervals of at least 200–500 years. In these communities, fire is not the primary factor maintaining the open condition. The history of Great Lakes alvars is shown to be diverse and complex. Controlled burning is not recommended for all sites or all alvar community types. INTRODUCTION “Alvar” is a Swedish word used for the grasslands on the island of Oland, in the Baltic Sea.

  • Empirically Derived Indices of Biotic Integrity for Forested Wetlands, Coastal Salt Marshes and Wadable Freshwater Streams in Massachusetts
    Empirically Derived Indices of Biotic Integrity for Forested Wetlands, Coastal Salt Marshes and Wadable Freshwater Streams in Massachusetts September 15, 2013 This report is the result of several years of field data collection, analyses and IBI development, and consideration of the opportunities for wetland program and policy development in relation to IBIs and CAPS Index of Ecological Integrity (IEI). Contributors include: University of Massachusetts Amherst Kevin McGarigal, Ethan Plunkett, Joanna Grand, Brad Compton, Theresa Portante, Kasey Rolih, and Scott Jackson Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management Jan Smith, Marc Carullo, and Adrienne Pappal Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Lisa Rhodes, Lealdon Langley, and Michael Stroman Empirically Derived Indices of Biotic Integrity for Forested Wetlands, Coastal Salt Marshes and Wadable Freshwater Streams in Massachusetts Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop a fully empirically-based method for developing Indices of Biotic Integrity (IBIs) that does not rely on expert opinion or the arbitrary designation of reference sites and pilot its application in forested wetlands, coastal salt marshes and wadable freshwater streams in Massachusetts. The method we developed involves: 1) using a suite of regression models to estimate the abundance of each taxon across a gradient of stressor levels, 2) using statistical calibration based on the fitted regression models and maximum likelihood methods to predict the value of the stressor metric based on the abundance of the taxon at each site, 3) selecting taxa in a forward stepwise procedure that conditionally improves the concordance between the observed stressor value and the predicted value the most and a stopping rule for selecting taxa based on a conditional alpha derived from comparison to pseudotaxa data, and 4) comparing the coefficient of concordance for the final IBI to the expected distribution derived from randomly permuted data.
