DATE: November 2009 APPROVED BY: DATE: _____________ Name, Forest Botanist, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit SUMMARY OF EFFECTS DETERMINATION AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND/OR REQUIREMENTS One population of a special-status bryophyte, three-ranked hump-moss (Meesia triquetra), was observed in the survey area during surveys on June 30, 2008 and August 28, 2008. The proposed action will not affect the moss because the population is located outside the project area where no action is planned. The following species of invasive or noxious weeds were identified during surveys of the Project area: cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum); bullthistle (Cirsium vulgare); Klamathweed (Hypericum perforatum); oxe-eye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare); and common mullein (Verbascum Thapsus). The threat posed by these weed populations would not increase if the proposed action is implemented. An inventory and assessment of invasive and noxious weeds in the survey area is presented in the Noxious Weed Risk Assessment for the Upper Truckee River Sunset Stables Restoration Project (ENTRIX 2009). Based on the description of the proposed action and the evaluation contained herein, we have determined the following: There would be no significant effect to plant species listed as threatened, endangered, proposed for listing, or candidates under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), administered by the U.S.

  • Wildflower Hot Spots of the Eastern Sierra Welcome to the Eastern Sierra…
    Wildflower Hot Spots of the Eastern Sierra Welcome to the Eastern Sierra… THE EASTERN SIERRA truly is a land of superlatives: Elevations you will visit using this guide range from the oldest living trees on the planet (bristlecone pines); 3,300 feet (1,005 meters) at Fossil Falls to 10,200 feet the highest peak in the contiguous United States (Mt. (3,100 meters) at the Mosquito Flat trailhead in Rock Whitney); the youngest mountain range in North Creek. Many of the peaks around you soar to more than America (Mono Craters); one of the oldest lakes in 13,000 feet, and a side trip into Death Valley will plunge North America (Mono Lake). All of these and more are you down to below sea level at Badwater. within an easy day’s drive of each other. The spectacular landscapes of this area draw a worldwide audience, and with good reason. The elevation range combined with the diverse geologic environment results in a wide variety of vegetation communities. Three major biotic provinces—the Mojave Geology field classes often visit the area for the Desert, Great Basin, and Sierra Nevada—all converge in relatively easy access to a wide variety of geologic this area. Dozens of plant communities and thousands formations and rock types. Volcanic craters, basalt flows, of plant species occur here, many of them unique to layers of ash and pumice, carbonate formations, and the Eastern Sierra. This guide is an introduction to the granite peaks, walls, and spires all can be seen here. botanical gems to be encountered here.

  • Washington Flora Checklist a Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium
    Washington Flora Checklist A checklist of the Vascular Plants of Washington State Hosted by the University of Washington Herbarium The Washington Flora Checklist aims to be a complete list of the native and naturalized vascular plants of Washington State, with current classifications, nomenclature and synonymy. The checklist currently contains 3,929 terminal taxa (species, subspecies, and varieties). Taxa included in the checklist: * Native taxa whether extant, extirpated, or extinct. * Exotic taxa that are naturalized, escaped from cultivation, or persisting wild. * Waifs (e.g., ballast plants, escaped crop plants) and other scarcely collected exotics. * Interspecific hybrids that are frequent or self-maintaining. * Some unnamed taxa in the process of being described. Family classifications follow APG IV for angiosperms, PPG I (J. Syst. Evol. 54:563?603. 2016.) for pteridophytes, and Christenhusz et al. (Phytotaxa 19:55?70. 2011.) for gymnosperms, with a few exceptions. Nomenclature and synonymy at the rank of genus and below follows the 2nd Edition of the Flora of the Pacific Northwest except where superceded by new information. Accepted names are indicated with blue font; synonyms with black font. Native species and infraspecies are marked with boldface font. Please note: This is a working checklist, continuously updated. Use it at your discretion. Created from the Washington Flora Checklist Database on September 17th, 2018 at 9:47pm PST. Available online at http://biology.burke.washington.edu/waflora/checklist.php Comments and questions should be addressed to the checklist administrators: David Giblin ([email protected]) Peter Zika ([email protected]) Suggested citation: Weinmann, F., P.F.

  • Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program List of California Vegetation Alliances October 22, 2007
    Department of Fish and Game Biogeographic Data Branch Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program List of California Vegetation Alliances October 22, 2007 Introduction: This document provides the Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program’s currently accepted list of vegetation alliances. It is based on the classification put forth in the upcoming second edition of “A Manual of California Vegetation,” (MCV) which is the California expression of the National Vegetation Classification (Grossman et al. 1998). This classification is hierarchical in nature: alliances are the generic vegetation unit and associations the specific unit. We hope to publish a list of accepted associations in the near future. This list is structured differently than previous lists. It emphasizes the relationship of the California alliances with the current National Vegetation Classification System (NVC). NVC codes and names, if they have been identified, are shown in brackets. Those lacking NVC codes and titles indicate new alliances that have not been discovered in currently funded collaborative projects with NatureServe. Those listed in brackets have full descriptions viewable using the following link: http://www.natureserve.org/explorer/servlet/NatureServe?init=Ecol California community codes follow the same format as in previous editions and are based on the Holland coding system (Holland 1986) with additional modifiers to accommodate for new types and the richer detail now currently understood in the California vegetation classification. Semi-natural Stands and Unique Stands: In addition to alliances, this list includes Semi-natural stands and unique stands. Semi-natural stands are strongly dominated by non-native plants that have become naturalized in the state; no alliances are defined by non-natives.
