They came to Akureyri to participate in a series of CFG meetings; these were structured as follows: • 28-29th January– a workshop of the Circumboreal Vegetation Mapping (CBVM) group focusing on the results of mapping prototype boreal vegetation areas • 30th January– a workshop on developing an International Arctic Vegetation Database (IAVD) in the morning of followed by a half-day excursion on the natural history of Akureyri, Iceland • 31st January– a CAFF Flora Group workshop stressing Red Listing of Arctic & Boreal Vascular Plants and Circumarctic Plant Portal. • 1-3rd February– presentations to the CAFF Board. Herein, we are pleased to combine the workshop papers, abstracts, and summaries into a single CAFF report. The documents presented in this report follows the structure of the workshop and accordingly is divided into three sections as indicated in the dates above. Two projects are newly proposed CAFF projects – the International Arctic Vegetation Database (IAVD) and Circumarctic Plant Portal. Others are works in progress such as the Circumboreal Vegetation Mapping (CBVM) project and the Red Listing of Arctic & Boreal Vascular Plants. This report this report documents the status of the projects and their forward progression. Our grateful thanks to the CAFF Secretariat staff who graciously hosted the CFG workshops; these include Tom Barry, Executive Secretary; Olga Pálsdottir, Executive Assistant; and Kári Fannar Lárusson, Program Officer.

In spite of the fact that Iceland is just a tiny part of this vast area, its rather complex situation is nevertheless of a certain interest. Maritime, boreal, alpine, and Arctic environmental factors are mixed together in a complex way to form the background for Iceland's vegetation, together with its flora, volcanic soils and climate. In this paper the vegetation position of Iceland will be discussed and two prototypes of the Boreal Vegetation Map of Iceland will be introduced. Keywords: Vegetation maps, Boreal, Arctic tundra, natural vegetation, Iceland Introduction The Circumpolar Arctic Vegetation Map (CAVM) was published in 2003 as a result of team work of scientists on Arctic vegetation in the circumpolar region that extended over a decade. Two of the present authors have been part of the CAVM team for Iceland. The Circumboreal Vegetation Map (CBVM) is a natural process of that former work. The situation in Iceland is rather complex with its maritime, alpine, Arctic and boreal environmental factors that are mixed together in a complex way to form the background for Iceland's vegetation, together with its flora, volcanic soils, and climate. This has in some ways caused some problems in classification of Iceland’s vegetation zones. In this paper these problems will be discussed and a brief overview of the position of Iceland within the CAVM. Also, the background for the prototype of the CBVM for Iceland will be introduced and finally a few words about the cooperation of southern Greenland and Faroe Islands in the Icelandic mapping effort for CBVM. A Brief Background of Vegetation Classification and Mapping in Iceland The structure of plant communities in Iceland as described and defined by the botanist Steindór Steindórsson around 50 years ago is still the basis of vegetation maps in Iceland today. However, the legend for the vegetation mapping has been slightly

  • Picea Sitchensis (Bong.) Carr. Sitka Spruce Pinaceae Pine Family A
    Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr. Sitka Spruce Pinaceae Pine family A. S. Harris Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), known also as tideland spruce, coast spruce, and yellow spruce, is the largest of the world’s spruces and is one of the most prominent forest trees in stands along the northwest coast of North America. This coastal species is seldom found far from tidewater, where moist maritime air and summer fogs help to main- tain humid conditions necessary for growth. Throughout most of its range from northern Califor- nia to Alaska, Sitka spruce is associated with western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) in dense stands where growth rates are among the highest in North America. It is a valuable commercial timber species for lumber, pulp, and many special uses (15,16). Habitat Native Range Sitka spruce (fig. 1) grows in a narrow strip along the north Pacific coast from latitude 61” N. in south- central Alaska to 39” N. in northern California. The most extensive portion of the range in both width and elevation is in southeast Alaska and northern British Columbia, where the east-west range extends for about 210 km (130 mi) to include a narrow main- land strip and the many islands of the Alexander Archipelago in Alaska and the Queen Charlotte Is- lands in British Columbia (24). North and west of southeast Alaska, along the Gulf of Alaska to Prince William Sound, the range is restricted by steep mountains and Piedmont glaciers edging the sea. Within Prince William Sound, the range again widens to about 105 km (65 mi) to include many offshore islands.

  • Rare Vascular Plant Surveys in the Polletts Cove and Lahave River Areas of Nova Scotia
    Rare Vascular Plant Surveys in the Polletts Cove and LaHave River areas of Nova Scotia David Mazerolle, Sean Blaney and Alain Belliveau Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre November 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project was funded by the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, through their Species at Risk Conservation Fund. The Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre appreciates the opportunity provided by the fund to have visited these botanically significant areas. We also thank Sean Basquill for mapping, fieldwork and good company on our Polletts Cove trip, and Cape Breton Highlands National Park for assistance with vehicle transportation at the start of that trip. PHOTOGRAPHY CREDITS All photographs included in this report were taken by the authors. 1 INTRODUCTION This project, funded by the Nova Scotia Species at Risk Conservation Fund, focused on two areas of high potential for rare plant occurrence: 1) the Polletts Cove and Blair River system in northern Cape Breton, covered over eight AC CDC botanist field days; and 2) the lower, non-tidal 29 km and selected tidal portions of the LaHave River in Lunenburg County, covered over 12 AC CDC botanist field days. The Cape Breton Highlands support a diverse array of provincially rare plants, many with Arctic or western affinity, on cliffs, river shores, and mature deciduous forests in the deep ravines (especially those with more calcareous bedrock and/or soil) and on the peatlands and barrens of the highland plateau. Recent AC CDC fieldwork on Lockhart Brook, Big Southwest Brook and the North Aspy River sites similar to the Polletts Cove and Blair River valley was very successful, documenting 477 records of 52 provincially rare plant species in only five days of fieldwork.

A FEW words of explanation as to the object and scope of this Index may fitly appear as an introduction to the work. It is intended mainly as a guide to further information, and not as a bibliography or biography. We have been liberal in including all who have in any way contributed to the literature of Botany, who have made scientific collections of plants, or have otherwise assisted directly in the progress of Botany, exclusive of pure Horticulture. We have not, as a rule, included those who were merely patrons of workers, or those known only as contributing small details to a local Flora. Where known, the name is followed by the years of birth and death, which, when uncertain, are marked with a ? or c. [circa) ; or merely approximate dates of "flourishing" are given. Then follows the place and day of bu'th and death, and the place of burial ; a brief indication of social position or occupation, espe- cially in the cases of artisan botanists and of professional collectors; chief university degrees, or other titles or offices held, and dates of election to the Linnean and Eoyal Societies.

Seedlings of white birch were exposed to ozone during two growing seasons, and measurements were carried out in the second year. Early leaves did not show an ozone-induced reduction in photosynthesis because of lower stomatal conductance resulting in higher avoidance capacity for ozone-induced stress. Also, an ozone-related increase in leaf nitrogen content may partly contribute to maintain the photosynthetic capacity in early leaves under elevated ozone in autumn.
