    ARTICLE X. LANDSCAPING Sec 8-447. Purpose. The City of Del Rio experiences frequent droughts and is in a semi-arid climatic zone; therefore, it is the purpose of this article to: (1) Encourage the use of drought resistant plants and landscaping techniques that do not consume large quantities of water. Plants native to Southern Texas/Coahuila Desert are recommended. (2) Establish requirements for the installation and maintenance of landscaping on developed commercial properties in order to improve, protect, and preserve the appearance, character and value of such properties and their surrounding neighborhoods and thereby promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Del Rio. More specifically, it is the purpose of this article to: (a) Aid in stabilizing the environment's ecological balance by contributing to the process of air purification, oxygen regeneration, storm water runoff retardation and groundwater recharge; (b) Reduce soil erosion by slowing storm water runoff; (c) Aid in the abatement of noise, glare and heat; (d) Aid in energy conservation; (e) Provide visual buffering and provide contrast and relief from the built-up environment; and (f) Protect and enhance property value and public and private investment and enhance the beautification of the city. (3) Contribute to and enhance the economic welfare of the city and the quality of life of citizens and visitors through the following: a. Promote the image of the southwestern border environment; and b. Create an attractive appearance along city streets

    USGS/NOAA NORTH AMERICAN PACKRAT MIDDEN DATABASE DATA DICTIONARY by Laura E. Strickland1, Robert S. Thompson1, and Katherine H. Anderson2 Open-File Report 01- 022 2001 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 1 Denver, Colorado 2 Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado INTRODUCTION Packrats, also known as wood rats or trade rats, are herbivorous Sigmodontine rodents belonging to the genus Neotoma (Vaughan, 1990). Twenty-one North American species of packrat are widely distributed from the Northwest Territories of Canada (65˚23' N) to tropical Nicaragua (13˚ N) (Vaughan, 1990). Arid and semi-arid lands of the southwestern United States presently support six different packrat species, which have probably persisted in the region, at least intermittently throughout the past 40,000 years (Vaughan, 1990). Vaughan (1990) summarizes the ecology of modern packrats in North America and the southwestern U.S. All modern packrats demonstrate a habit, unique among rodents, of collecting various items from their surrounding environment. These animals gather a variety of materials including plant debris, rocks, bones, insect parts, and human artifacts, generally from within a limited foraging range (30-50 m) of their dens. Not every packrat species has the same dietary preferences or collecting habits, and some species sample their environments better than others by collecting a greater variety of plant materials from the surrounding landscape.

  • Poaceae Pollen from Southern Brazil: Distinguishing Grasslands (Campos) from Forests by Analyzing a Diverse Range of Poaceae Species
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 06 December 2016 doi: 10.3389/fpls.2016.01833 Poaceae Pollen from Southern Brazil: Distinguishing Grasslands (Campos) from Forests by Analyzing a Diverse Range of Poaceae Species Jefferson N. Radaeski 1, 2, Soraia G. Bauermann 2* and Antonio B. Pereira 1 1 Universidade Federal do Pampa, São Gabriel, Brazil, 2 Laboratório de Palinologia da Universidade Luterana do Brasil–ULBRA, Universidade Luterana do Brazil, Canoas, Brazil This aim of this study was to distinguish grasslands from forests in southern Brazil by analyzing Poaceae pollen grains. Through light microscopy analysis, we measured the size of the pollen grain, pore, and annulus from 68 species of Rio Grande do Sul. Measurements were recorded of 10 forest species and 58 grassland species, representing all tribes of the Poaceae in Rio Grande do Sul. We measured the polar, equatorial, pore, and annulus diameter. Results of statistical tests showed that arboreous forest species have larger pollen grain sizes than grassland and herbaceous forest species, and in particular there are strongly significant differences between arboreous and grassland species. Discriminant analysis identified three distinct groups representing Edited by: each vegetation type. Through the pollen measurements we established three pollen Encarni Montoya, types: larger grains (>46 µm), from the Bambuseae pollen type, medium-sized grains Institute of Earth Sciences Jaume < Almera (CSIC), Spain (46–22 µm), from herbaceous pollen type, and small grains ( 22 µm), from grassland Reviewed by: pollen type.

Hazlett, Michael H. Schiebout, and Paulette L. Ford Hazlett, Donald L.; Schiebout, Michael H.; and Ford, Paulette L. 2009. Vascular plants and a brief history of the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS- GTR-233. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 44 p. Abstract Administered by the USDA Forest Service, the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands occupy 230,000 acres of public land extending from northeastern New Mexico into the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. A mosaic of topographic features including canyons, plateaus, rolling grasslands and outcrops supports a diverse flora. Eight hundred twenty six (826) species of vascular plant species representing 81 plant families are known to occur on or near these public lands. This report includes a history of the area; ethnobotanical information; an introductory overview of the area including its climate, geology, vegetation, habitats, fauna, and ecological history; and a plant survey and information about the rare, poisonous, and exotic species from the area. A vascular plant checklist of 816 vascular plant taxa in the appendix includes scientific and common names, habitat types, and general distribution data for each species. This list is based on extensive plant collections and available herbarium collections. Authors Donald L. Hazlett is an ethnobotanist, Director of New World Plants and People consulting, and a research associate at the Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver, CO.

Exotic plant invasions have significantly 9 altered the native floral communities because of invasive giant reed, with potential impacts to the 10 native wildlife using resources in the riparian corridor. This study was conducted along a 3.22 11 km stretch of the LRGR in southwestern Webb County, TX to assess bee (Anthophila) 12 communities and their flowering-plant resources among proximal and distal terrestrial upland 13 and river-adjacent sub-corridors. Patterns related to the bee community across the two habitats 14 consisted of low variation and dominance by common taxa, suggesting the riparian corridor 15 could be used as a resource for bee foraging and soil-nesting.
