IN THEIR 1996 BOOK, THE FORGOttEN POLLINATORS, Buchmann and Nabhan estimated that animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction “Flowering plants of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Each of us depends on these industrious pollinators in a practical way to provide us with the wide range of foods we eat. In addition, pollinators are part of the across wild, intricate web that supports the biological diversity in natural ecosystems that helps sustain our quality of life. farmed and even Abundant and healthy populations of pollinators can improve fruit set and quality, and increase fruit size. In farming situations this increases production per hectare. In the wild, biodiversity increases and wildlife urban landscapes food sources increase. Many wild plant species such as lowbush blueberry and red raspberry in addition to field crops such as alfalfa, clover, and actually feed the soybeans are grown in the Algonquin-Lake Nipissing ecoregion that rely on honey bees and native bees for pollination. Honey bees pollinate more than $1 billion worth of crops in Canada each year. terrestrial world, Unfortunately, the numbers of many native pollinators are declining. They are threatened by habitat loss, disease, climate change, and the excessive and pollinators and inappropriate use of pesticides. As a result research and conservation actions supporting native pollinators are increasingly active. Honey bee colony losses have significantly impacted beekeepers. Parasites, disease, are the great pesticide use, insufficient nutrition, and transportation practices all impact honey bee health, and this in turn can impact the commercial pollination services honey bees provide. The efforts to understand the threats to connectors who commercial bees should help us understand other pollinators and their roles in the environment as well. enable this giant It is imperative that we take immediate steps to help pollinator populations thrive. The beauty of the situation is that by supporting pollinators’ need for habitat, we support our own needs for food and support diversity in the food system to natural world.

Algonquin-Lake Nipissing 5 Understanding the Algonquin-Lake Nipissing n The Algonquin-Lake Nipissing ecoregion is part of the Boreal Shield ecozone which includes the following ecoregions; Lac Seul Upland, Big Trout Lake, Lake of the Woods, Thunder Bay- Quetico, Lake Nipigon, Abitibi Plains, and Lake Temiskaming Lowland. This ecoregion is situated at the southern extant of the boreal shield ecozone between Sault Ste. Marie and the Ottawa River valley in southern Ontario. The characteristic mixed forests of this ecoregion are distinct from the predominately deciduous forests to the south and the coniferous forests to the north. Significant land uses include forestry, mining, and tourism. Low-intensity farming, primarily grazing operations are also scattered throughout much of the ecoregion. n Not sure about which region you live or work in?

  • Literature Cited
    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volume 9, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991), Bridson (2004), and Bridson and D. W. Brown (http://fmhibd.library.cmu.edu/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=BPH_Online&-loadframes). When those forms are abbreviated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and Stafleu et al. (1992–2009). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”.

  • INTRODUCTION This Check List of the Plants of New Jersey Has Been
    INTRODUCTION This Check List of the Plants of New Jersey has been compiled by updating and integrating the catalogs prepared by such authors as Nathaniel Lord Britton (1881 and 1889), Witmer Stone (1911), and Norman Taylor (1915) with such other sources as recently-published local lists, field trip reports of the Torrey Botanical Society and the Philadelphia Botanical Club, the New Jersey Natural Heritage Program’s list of threatened and endangered plants, personal observations in the field and the herbarium, and observations by other competent field botanists. The Check List includes 2,758 species, a botanical diversity that is rather unexpected in a small state like New Jersey. Of these, 1,944 are plants that are (or were) native to the state - still a large number, and one that reflects New Jersey's habitat diversity. The balance are plants that have been introduced from other countries or from other parts of North America. The list could be lengthened by hundreds of species by including non-persistent garden escapes and obscure waifs and ballast plants, many of which have not been seen in New Jersey since the nineteenth century, but it would be misleading to do so. The Check List should include all the plants that are truly native to New Jersey, plus all the introduced species that are naturalized here or for which there are relatively recent records, as well as many introduced plants of very limited occurrence. But no claims are made for the absolute perfection of the list. Plant nomenclature is constantly being revised. Single old species may be split into several new species, or multiple old species may be combined into one.

  • Appendices I Through VIII
    APPENDIX I: Standards for Ecological Classification A given terrestrial ecological system is defined as a group of plant community types that tend to co-occur within landscapes with similar ecological processes, substrates, and/or environmental gradients. A given terrestrial ecological system will typically manifest itself in a landscape at intermediate geographic scales of 10s to 1,000s of hectares and persist for 50 or more years. Ecological processes include natural disturbances such as fire and flooding. Substrates may include a variety of soil surface and bedrock features, such as shallow soils, alkaline parent materials, sandy/gravelling soils, or peatlands. Finally, environmental gradients include hydrologically defined patterns in coastal zones, arid grassland or desert areas, or montane, alpine or subalpine zones defined by climate. By plant community type, we mean a vegetation classification unit at the association or alliance level of the US National Vegetation Classification (US-NVC) (Grossman et al. 1998, Jennings et al. 2003, NatureServe 2004), or, if these are not available, other comparable vegetation units. US-NVC associations are used wherever possible to describe the component biotic communities of each terrestrial system. Ecological systems are defined using both spatial and temporal criteria that influence the grouping of associations. Associations that consistently co-occur on the landscape therefore define biotic components of each ecological system type. Our approach to ecological systems definition using US-NVC associations is similar to the biotope or habitat approach used, for example, by the EUNIS habitat classification, which explicitly links meso-scale habitat units to European Vegetation Survey alliance units (Rodwell et al. 2002).

  • Rhexia Mariana L
    New England Plant Conservation Program Rhexia mariana L. Maryland Meadowbeauty Conservation and Research Plan For New England Prepared by: Stephen I. Craine Department of Biology Tufts University For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, MA 01701 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, 2002 1 SUMMARY Rhexia mariana L., Maryland meadowbeauty, (Melastomataceae) is a regionally rare, but globally secure, species that is listed S1 (Endangered) in Massachusetts and has never been documented in any other New England state. There are nine extant and four historical occurrences in Massachusetts, all of which are on Cape Cod. Only three of these sites were found to include over 500 stems in the 2001 season; several others had less than 50. The small number of sites for this species, their small populations, and the instability of population numbers from year to year all make R. mariana very vulnerable in the region. This perennial herb of pond shores and wet meadows is common in the southern Atlantic coastal plain from central New Jersey to Florida and on the Gulf coast to Texas. Although R. mariana is secure in the heart of its range, preserving the species in New England is important because such peripheral populations often serve as reservoirs of genetic diversity for a species as a whole. The Massachusetts occurrences represent a disjunct population at the northern extreme of the species’ range. Here, it is found along with other characteristic coastal plain species on the acidic and nutrient-poor, sandy beaches of freshwater ponds, in full sun.
