    USDA FOREST SERVICE NATIONAL FOREST GENETICS LABORATORY (NFGEL) Annual Report 2003 – 2004 (FY04) 2480 Carson Road, Placerville, CA 95667 530-622-1609 (voice), 530-622-2633 (fax), [email protected] Report prepared December 2004 INTRODUCTION This report covers laboratory activities and accomplishments during Fiscal Year 2004. October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004 Background NFGEL was established in 1988 as part of the National Forest System of the USDA-Forest Service. The focus of the lab is to address genetic conservation and management of all plant species using a variety of laboratory techniques including DNA analyses. NFGEL services are provided to managers within the Forest Service, other government agencies, and non- government organizations for assessing and monitoring genetic diversity. Purpose of Laboratory The purpose of the Laboratory is to analyze molecular genetic markers (protein and DNA) in plant material submitted by Forest Service employees and those from other cooperating entities. NFGEL provides baseline genetic information, determines the effect of management on the genetic resource, supports genetic improvement program, and contributes information in the support of conservation and restoration programs, especially those involving native and TES (threatened, endangered, and sensitive) species. Alignment to National Strategic Plan for FY04-08 NFGEL’s work aligns to the following National Strategic Plan measures: 1. Goal 1 (Reduce risks from catastrophic wildland fire) 2. Goal 2 (Reduce the impacts from invasive species). 3. Goal 4 (Help meet energy resource needs) 4. Goal 5 (Improve watershed condition) 5. Goal 6 (Mission related work in addition to that which supports the agency goals) NFGEL Projects NFGEL projects were processed to meet a variety of management objectives.

    I I I I I I MONTEREY COUNTY GENERAL PLAN I MONTEREY COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA I I I I ADOPTED BY THE MONTEREY COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION JULY 10, 1968 I ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF MONTEREY COUNTY OCTOBER 22, 1968 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 0 N I I I MONTEREY COUNTY I I I I I I PREFACE I The Monterey County General Plan is an attempt to establish a county philosophy based on the values and desires of the people. This in turn becomes a valid basis for decisions by public bodies as well as private enterprise. Such a pro­ cedure is vitally needed in our rapidly changing environment. The General Plan I is a study of the ever changing pattern of Monterey County --a mirror in which to review the past, to comprehend the present, and to contemplate the future, This plan reflects years of research and study as well as many other reports such as I the continuing Facts and Figures, Recreation in Monterey County, Beach Acqui­ sition, and other plans which are shown as separate documents h~cause of the volume of material. I The size of Monterey County, its variety of climate, vegetation, and land forms make it imperative that only large land uses or broad proposals be used to portray geographically the objectives desired for the future development of the County. I Accordingly, in addition to the maps, greater emphasis in the General Plan is placed on the text which conveys in words the objectives as well as the princi­ ples and standards recommended to make them effective.

  • Population Genetics and Genetic Structure in San Joaquin Woolly
    POPULATION GENETICS AND GENETIC STRUCTURE IN SAN JOAQUIN WOOLY THREADS (Monolopia congdonii (A. Gray) B.G. Baldwin Bureau of Land Management – UC Berkeley Grant/Cooperative Agreement Number: L12AC20073 Susan Bainbridge Jepson Herbarium 1001 VLSB #2465 University of California Berkeley, CA 94720 Ryan O’Dell Bureau of Land Management California & Bruce Baldwin UC Berkeley INTRODUCTION Conservation of genetic variability is one of the most important and concrete measures ecologists and land managers can implement to maintain viability for specific organisms vulnerable to climate change and to increase success of restoration. Genetic diversity via adaptation and gene flow can help organisms increase chances of surviving environmental changes (Anderson et al. 2012, Reusch et al. 2005, Jump et al. 2008, Doi et al. 2010). Genetic diversity is also threatened by climate change by erosion due to range shifts and/or reductions (Aguilar et al. 2008, Alsos et al. 2012). Genetic diversity is also an important criterion for restoration and conservation planning, and prioritizing protection of populations. For plant taxa with a declining or limited geographical range or declining populations, perspective on regional and local genetic structure and history is important for developing effective management and restoration planning. Genetic diversity and the processes that shape or maintain that diversity are considered integral for population viability. Inherently rare taxa or those that have had a reduction in population size or an increase in fragmentation may have low levels of genetic variability, in addition to other factors. This increases their vulnerability to inbreeding depression and changes in environmental conditions. At the same time, these taxa are also more vulnerable to unintended consequences of restoration or attempts at enhancement, such as insufficient genetic sampling; swamping of rare genotypes or alleles; or hampered local adaptation by introduction of non-local material.

  • Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.

CIP Revenue Discussion 43-44 2 Executive Summary 1) Overview This Fort Ord Reuse Authority (FORA) Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is responsive to the capital improvement obligations defined under the Fort Ord Base Reuse Plan (BRP) as adopted by the FORA Board in June 1997. The BRP carries a series of mitigative project obligations defined in Appendix B of that plan as the Public Facilities Implementation Plan (PFIP). The PFIP, which serves as the baseline CIP for the reuse plan, is to be re-visited annually by the FORA Board to assure that required projects are implemented in a timely way to meet development needs. The PFIP was developed as a four-phase program spanning a twenty-year development horizon (1996-2015) and was based upon the best at-the-time forecasts of development patterns anticipated in concert with market absorption schedules for the area.

  • Discover California State Parks in the Monterey Area
    Crashing waves, redwoods and historic sites Discover California State Parks in the Monterey Area Some of the most beautiful sights in California can be found in Monterey area California State Parks. Rocky cliffs, crashing waves, redwood trees, and historic sites are within an easy drive of each other. "When you look at the diversity of state parks within the Monterey District area, you begin to realize that there is something for everyone - recreational activities, scenic beauty, natural and cultural history sites, and educational programs,” said Dave Schaechtele, State Parks Monterey District Public Information Officer. “There are great places to have fun with families and friends, and peaceful and inspirational settings that are sure to bring out the poet, writer, photographer, or artist in you. Some people return to their favorite state parks, year-after-year, while others venture out and discover some new and wonderful places that are then added to their 'favorites' list." State Parks in the area include: Limekiln State Park, 54 miles south of Carmel off Highway One and two miles south of the town of Lucia, features vistas of the Big Sur coast, redwoods, and the remains of historic limekilns. The Rockland Lime and Lumber Company built these rock and steel furnaces in 1887 to cook the limestone mined from the canyon walls. The 711-acre park allows visitors an opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere of Big Sur’s southern coast. The park has the only safe access to the shoreline along this section of cast. For reservations at the park’s 36 campsites, call ReserveAmerica at (800) 444- PARK (7275).
