  • Understory Plants on Reforested Pastures at Finca Alexis, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
    Project report Understory plants on reforested pastures at Finca Alexis, Puntarenas, Costa Rica PP Tropenbotanik und Pflanzen-Tier-Interaktionen in Costa Rica by Angelika Till WS 19/20 Supervisor: Mag. Dr. Anton Weissenhofer Introduction Costa Rica, as one of the most biodiverse countries worldwide, accommodates about 9,361 plant species, including ferns and fern allies, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms (Hammel et al., 2004). There are several studies about plant biodiversity in the tropics, but since there is such an immense species richness, there is still a significant gap in the knowledge of several plant groups, e.g. understorey plants. Understory plants make up about half of the Costa Rican flora, consisting of herbs (27%), treelets (16%), and part of vines (16%) (Hammel et al., 2004). Nevertheless, most of the conducted studies are concerned with tree biodiversity (Gentry & Dodson, 1987a; Huber, 1996; Huber et al., 2008; Mayfield & Daily, 2005). This is why this survey pursues the study of understory plants in the Golfo Dulce region where the La Gamba Field Station is situated. A first survey on the herbaceous flora around La Gamba has been conducted by Holzer et al. (2016) during a field course of the University of Vienna in 2016. This study focuses on the understory flora of Finca AleXis. Finca AleXis is a former pasture with a farmhouse (Casa AleXis) of the Tropical station at the Fila Consteña mountain range (Fila Cal) that was converted into a simple field station. It is part of the COBIGA project (Corredor Biológico La Gamba) with the goal to form a rainforest corridor between the tropical mountain rainforest of Fila Cal and the lowland rainforest of the Golfo Dulce (https://www.regenwald.at/en/project-information/biological-corridor- cobiga-forest-and-climate-protection).

Entre ellos, las abejas constituyen un eslabón esencial en la polinización de angiospermas que durante millones de años desarrollaron estrategias cada vez más específicas para atraerlas. De esta forma se establece una relación muy fuerte entre am- bos, planta-polinizador, y cuanto mayor es la especialización, tal como sucede en un gran número de especies de orquídeas y cactáceas entre otros grupos, ésta se torna más vulnerable ante cambios ambientales naturales o producidos por el hombre. De esta forma, el estudio de este tipo de interacciones resulta cada vez más importante en vista del incremento de áreas perturbadas o modificadas de manera antrópica en las cuales la fauna y flora queda expuesta a adaptarse a las nuevas condiciones o desaparecer.

  • Corkscrew Permit Modification, January 7, 2014 [PDF]
    FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION RICK SCOTT GOVERNOR BOB MARTINEZ CENTER 2600 BLAIRSTONE ROAD HERSCHEL T. VINYARD JR. TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 32399-2400 SECRETARY January 6, 2014 Mr. Jerome Ryan EarthMark Southwest Florida Mitigation, LLC c/o Jerome Ryan, Managing Member Post Office Box 621990 Oviedo, Florida 32762-1990 Dear Mr. Ryan: RE: Corkscrew Regional Mitigation Bank ---Permit #0198035-001, Lee County ---Approval of Modification #0198035-023 Your request to modify this permit has been received and reviewed by Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department) staff. This modification revises the target community types and success criteria for the Bank’s restoration area based on a more detailed description of the Bank’s site characteristics and historic natural communities typical of South Florida. This modification also eliminates phase boundaries and revises the construction plans. There is no change to the mitigation service area and there are no major changes to the construction schedule or the number mitigation credits assigned. This major modification provides the opportunity to revise, clarify and update all permit documents to account for completed work, in addition to incorporating the current modifications described below. The attached modified permit, figures, and attachments will replace the original permit. The original permit for the Corkscrew Regional Mitigation Bank (CRMB) was issued on June 4, 2004 and was later modified on February 10, 2006 and November 8, 2006. The ~632.5-acre CRMB project is designed to enhance water quality and wetland function by eliminating agricultural drainage and removing cattle, by grading and planting pasture areas to restore or create natural communities, by treating and managing exotic and nuisance vegetation on native lands, and by implementing a long-term management program, including prescribed fires.

    2020J. Pl. Res. Vol. 18, No. 1, pp 135-142, 2020 Journal of Plant Resources Vol.18, No. 1 Wetland Plants and their Ethnobotanical Uses in Raja-Rani Tal, Letang, Morang, Nepal Kalpana Sharma (Dhakal)1*, Dammar Singh Saud1, Krishna Ram Bhattarai1, Amrit KC2, Sajita Dhakal2 and Madan Kumar Khadka1 1Department of Plant Resources, Thapathali, Kathmandu 2National Herbarium and Plant Laboratories, Godawari, Lalitpur *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Wetland plants play vital role in ecosystems and also provide various basic needs such as food, medicine, fodder, green manure, raw materials etc. A total of 108 plant species were documented from the wetland and periphery of Raja-Rani Tal, Morang in April and December 2018.We documented angiosperms (Dicots 48, Monocots 32), Pteridophytes 10, Bryophytes 1, and algae 17 species, belonging to 91 genera and 56 families. Among the total species, 70 species are hydrophytes including algae having the different growth form likeEmergent (43) > Floating (5) > Floating-Leaved (3) > Submerged (2)while 43 species are found around the periphery of wetland. There were 77 species native including one endemic flowering plant species, and 12 species exotic including 6 invasive alien species. These wetland plants were used by local people for fodder (31), medicine (7), fermenting agent (3), vegetable (3), beekeeping (2), compost (1), fish poison (1), ripening (1), cultural use. Keywords: Exotic, Growth form, Macrophytes, Native, Use Introduction Wetlands are considered to be one of the most threatened of all major natural ecosystems. Similarly, Wetland plants are those plants that normally grow the ethnobotanical knowledge and practices are also in or on the water or where soils are flooded or in danger of being lost in country.Therefore, effort saturated long enough for anaerobic condition to should be made to document the wetland plants and develop in the root zone (Cronk & Fennessy, 2009).
