  • The Distribution of Woody Species in Relation to Climate and Fire in Yosemite National Park, California, USA Jan W
    van Wagtendonk et al. Fire Ecology (2020) 16:22 Fire Ecology https://doi.org/10.1186/s42408-020-00079-9 ORIGINAL RESEARCH Open Access The distribution of woody species in relation to climate and fire in Yosemite National Park, California, USA Jan W. van Wagtendonk1* , Peggy E. Moore2, Julie L. Yee3 and James A. Lutz4 Abstract Background: The effects of climate on plant species ranges are well appreciated, but the effects of other processes, such as fire, on plant species distribution are less well understood. We used a dataset of 561 plots 0.1 ha in size located throughout Yosemite National Park, in the Sierra Nevada of California, USA, to determine the joint effects of fire and climate on woody plant species. We analyzed the effect of climate (annual actual evapotranspiration [AET], climatic water deficit [Deficit]) and fire characteristics (occurrence [BURN] for all plots, fire return interval departure [FRID] for unburned plots, and severity of the most severe fire [dNBR]) on the distribution of woody plant species. Results: Of 43 species that were present on at least two plots, 38 species occurred on five or more plots. Of those 38 species, models for the distribution of 13 species (34%) were significantly improved by including the variable for fire occurrence (BURN). Models for the distribution of 10 species (26%) were significantly improved by including FRID, and two species (5%) were improved by including dNBR. Species for which distribution models were improved by inclusion of fire variables included some of the most areally extensive woody plants. Species and ecological zones were aligned along an AET-Deficit gradient from cool and moist to hot and dry conditions.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

    Other Families to Watch Boraginaceae (Borage Family) Caryophyllaceae (Pink Family) Chenopodiaceae (Goosefoot Family) Clusiaceae (Mangosteen Family) Convolvulaceae (Morning-glory Family) Plantaginaceae (Plantain Family) Ranunculaceae (Buttercup Family) Family: Boraginaceae Bluebur Lappula squarrosa (Retz.) Dumort. Alternate Names stick-tights, beggar-ticks, stickseed, sheepbur, European sticktight, bur forget-me-not, European stick- weed Synonyms Lappula echinata Gilib., Lappula myosotis Moench Description Bluebur is an annual plant that is pro- fusely branched with stems up to 2 feet tall. The entire plant is covered with stiff, white hairs and has a mousy odor. The hairs usually lie flat against the stems and leaves. Leaves are alternate, 3/4 to 4 inches long, and covered with stiff white hairs on both surfaces. The lower leaves are oblong, Mrkvicka by Alexander Photo stalked, and blunt-tipped, whereas the upper leaves are stalkless. Flowers are blue with a yellow throat, resembling forget- me-not flowers but smaller, about 1/8 of an inch across. They appear near the ends of stems in leafy clusters. Each flower pro- duces 4 small nuts with 2 rows of hooked prickles that have star-shaped tips. Fruit stalks are straight and erect. Similar Species Western bluebur (L. occidentalis (S. Wats.) Greene) is a weedy annual plant, native to Alaska, that can be distin- guished from bluebur by its nuts. Western bluebur nuts have 1 row of hooked prickles, while the exotic bluebur nuts have 2 rows. Stick-seed (Hackelia floribunda (Lehm.) I.M. Johnson) is native to British Columbia and resembles Family: Boraginaceae Bluebur both bluebur species, but the fruiting stalk of stick-seed is curved or bent downwards.

Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks.

Several features, such as the genus’ highly fragmented distribution as well as noticeable ecological differentiation between partially sympatric species and presence of ploidy barriers between species suggest the involvement of different speciation types in its evolution. The aims of this study were to test the monophyly of Cymbalaria and to reconstruct infrageneric phylogenetic relationships, to infer the genus’ biogeographic history by estimating divergence times and ancestral distribution areas of lineages, and to disentangle the role of different speciation types. To address these issues, we constructed a phylogeny with a complete taxon sampling based on ITS, 3'ETS, ndhF and rpl32-trnL sequences. We used the nuclear ribosomal DNA data to produce a time-calibrated phylogeny, which served as basis for estimating ploidy level evolution and biogeographic history.
