Wetland Plants Survey Form WETLAND PLANTS PondNet RECORDING FORM (PAGE 1 of 5) Your Name Date Pond name (if known) Square: 4 fig grid reference Pond: 8 fig grid ref e.g. SP1243 e.g. SP 1235 4325 Determiner name (optional) Voucher material (optional) METHOD (complete one survey form per pond) Aim: To assess pond quality and conservation value, by recording wetland plants. How: Identify the outer boundary of the pond. This is the ‘line’ marking the pond’s highest yearly water levels (usually in early spring). It will probably not be the current water level of the pond, but should be evident from wetland vegetation like rushes at the pond’s outer edge, or other clues such as water-line marks on tree trunks or stones. Within the outer boundary, search all the dry and shallow areas of the pond that are accessible. Survey deeper areas with a net or grapnel hook. Record wetland plants found by crossing through the names on this sheet. You don’t need to record terrestrial species. For each species record its approximate abundance as a percentage of the pond’s surface area. Where few plants are present, record as ‘<1%’. If you are not completely confident in your species identification put’?’ by the species name. If you are really unsure put ‘??’. Enter the results online: www.freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/projects/waternet/ or send your results to Freshwater Habitats Trust.

  • Aquatic Vascular Plant Species Distribution Maps
    Appendix 11.5.1: Aquatic Vascular Plant Species Distribution Maps These distribution maps are for 116 aquatic vascular macrophyte species (Table 1). Aquatic designation follows habitat descriptions in Haines and Vining (1998), and includes submergent, floating and some emergent species. See Appendix 11.4 for list of species. Also included in Appendix 11.4 is the number of HUC-10 watersheds from which each taxon has been recorded, and the county-level distributions. Data are from nine sources, as compiled in the MABP database (plus a few additional records derived from ancilliary information contained in reports from two fisheries surveys in the Upper St. John basin organized by The Nature Conservancy). With the exception of the University of Maine herbarium records, most locations represent point samples (coordinates were provided in data sources or derived by MABP from site descriptions in data sources). The herbarium data are identified only to township. In the species distribution maps, town-level records are indicated by center-points (centroids). Figure 1 on this page shows as polygons the towns where taxon records are identified only at the town level.

  • Arctic and Boreal Plant Species Decline at Their Southern Range Limits in the Rocky Mountains
    Ecology Letters, (2017) 20: 166–174 doi: 10.1111/ele.12718 LETTER Arctic and boreal plant species decline at their southern range limits in the Rocky Mountains Abstract Peter Lesica1,2* and Climate change is predicted to cause a decline in warm-margin plant populations, but this hypoth- Elizabeth E. Crone3 esis has rarely been tested. Understanding which species and habitats are most likely to be affected is critical for adaptive management and conservation. We monitored the density of 46 populations representing 28 species of arctic-alpine or boreal plants at the southern margin of their ranges in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, USA, between 1988 and 2014 and analysed population trends and relationships to phylogeny and habitat. Marginal populations declined overall during the past two decades; however, the mean trend for 18 dicot populations was À5.8% per year, but only À0.4% per year for the 28 populations of monocots and pteridophytes. Declines in the size of peripheral populations did not differ significantly among tundra, fen and forest habitats. Results of our study support predicted effects of climate change and suggest that vulnerability may depend on phylogeny or associated anatomical/physiological attributes.

  • Native Plant List, Pdf Format
    Appendix A: City of Bellingham Native Plant List December 2020 The City of Bellingham Native Plant List (Figure 1) includes plant species that are native to Bellingham watersheds (Figure 2). The native plant list applies to all habitat types, including riparian, upland, and wetland areas. The list was developed using specimen records from the Consortium of Pacific Northwest Herbaria and Bellingham plant checklists curated by Don Knoke, a volunteer at the University of Washington Herbarium. To improve plant establishment and protect the genetic resources of our local plant populations, the City recommends using native plants that were grown from seeds or cuttings collected from the Puget Trough Ecoregion (Figure 3). Obtaining native plants grown from material collected from the Puget Trough Ecoregion will help ensure the plants are adapted to the unique environmental conditions of Bellingham watersheds and are genetically similar to our local plant populations. A more thorough discussion of the rational and selection process is provided in the City of Bellingham Public Works Department Native Plant Materials Selection Guidelines, December 2020. Figure 1.

    Floristic study of a protected wetland from Borsaros-Sancraieni, Harghita County, Romania 1Emilian Pricop, 2Paul N. Filip, 3Bogdan-Mihai Negrea 1 Natural Sciences Museum of Piatra Neamţ - Neamţ County Museum Complex, Piatra Neamţ, Neamţ, Romania; 2 Faculty of Biology, “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi, Iaşi, Romania; 3 ”Danube Delta” National Institute for Research and Development, Department of Ecological Restoration and Species Recovery, Tulcea, Romania. Corresponding author: E. Pricop, [email protected] Abstract. In this paper we intend to present a brief floristic survey and the old literature data over an interesting area in the Harghita County, Romania, Borsaros-Sancraieni swamp reserve, area protected since the beginning of 1939. Important personal scientific observations are highlighted. This paper was written specially to reveal the diversity of vascular flora from this area and the surroundings, and the risks which treat this bog. We confirm the presence of main characteristic species of this swamp type and complete the vascular flora species list. This area was mentioned as an important refuge of some rare glacial relict plant species of main conservation importance as: Betula humilis Schrank, Drosera anglica Hudson, Ligularia sibirica L. and Saxifraga hirculus L. Also, we would like to signal a significant change of the initial habitat, for which the area was designated a protected area, due in particular to the anthropic activity but also the lack of involvement in the conservation of nature at local and regional level. Key Words: vascular flora, swamp reserve, Betula humilis Schrank, Drosera anglica Hudson, Ligularia sibirica L., Saxifraga hirculus L., species list, habitat loss, adventive species.

  • Aquatic Macrophyte Survey: Point-Intercept Method Spooner Lake Washburn County, Wisconsin WBIC: 2685200 June/August 2018
    Aquatic Macrophyte Survey: Point-intercept Method Spooner Lake Washburn County, Wisconsin WBIC: 2685200 June/August 2018 Survey completed by Ecological Integrity Service, Amery Wisconsin Abstract In June and August 2018, a full lake point-intercept aquatic macrophyte survey was conducted on Spooner Lake, Washburn County Wisconsin. The results showed plants growing in 91% of the lake with a mean rake fullness of 1.9 (scale of 0-3). The species richness was 34 native species and 2 non-native species. A Simpson’s Diversity index of 0.91 was calculated. The maximum depth with plants growing was 15.3 feet and a mean depth of plants growing was 5.3 feet. The floristic quality index (FQI) was 33.2. Two non-native invasive species, Potamogeton crispus and Typha angustifolia, were sampled. Two other non-native invasive species, Phalaris arundinacea and Iris pseudacorus, were observed in locations not part of the point intercept grid. Some areas had nuisance level filamentous algae floating on the surface during the August survey. Comparison with previous surveys in 2006 and 2012 using chi-square showed a statistically significant increase in 10 species from 2012 to 2018 and 12 species from 2006 to 2018. There was a statistically significant decrease in one species from 2012 to 2018 and in six species from 2006 to 2018. Spooner Lake Aquatic Macrophyte Survey-2018 Page 2 Introduction In June and August 2018, a full lake aquatic macrophyte survey was conducted using the point intercept (PI) method on Spooner Lake, Washburn County Wisconsin. Spooner Lake has an area of 1162 acres with a maximum depth of 17 feet and a mean depth of seven feet.

  • Equisetum Fluviatile a New Adventive Species in New Zealand
    Two natives it might not be extravagant to claim as rheophytes are Podocarpus totara and P. acutifolius; they have limber firm leaved saplings and a marked ability to develop new roots from the lower trunk after burial by sand and gravel. Perhaps other flood plain trees such as the lacebarks owe their similar juvenile form (i.e. flexuose not divaricating) to river shaping as much as to the moa. ..Finally we must consider the Waitakere Range most abundant rheophyte even though it is adventive mist flower (Eupatorium riparium). This is coming to dominate all our northern stream beds but does equally well on clay road cuttings or at the foot of slopes in woodland e.g. Auckland Domain. Van Steenis suggests that in its home of Mexico or West Indies it might be a kremnophyte that is a plant of steep banks such as river terrace scarps or landslide scars. He notes that it was deliberately introduced to highland Java for the purpose of stabilizing earth walls in tea and cinchona plantations! Mist flower has the typical rheophytic leaf shape and can make strong growth of adventitious roots. It would seem to disperse a short way by wind and over longer distances through virtue of the barbellate nature of the achene and pappus. Though mist flower is of interest as one of the relatively few rheophytes in the Compositae we can hope that it will not be too long before some insect or parasite arrives (or that we adopt the Javanese practice of composting the species) giving our native rheophytes a chance of having their Story told in greater depth than has been attempted here.
