  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Wildlife Travel Burren 2018
    The Burren 2018 species list and trip report, 7th-12th June 2018 WILDLIFE TRAVEL The Burren 2018 s 1 The Burren 2018 species list and trip report, 7th-12th June 2018 Day 1: 7th June: Arrive in Lisdoonvarna; supper at Rathbaun Hotel Arriving by a variety of routes and means, we all gathered at Caherleigh House by 6pm, sustained by a round of fresh tea, coffee and delightful home-made scones from our ever-helpful host, Dermot. After introductions and some background to the geology and floral elements in the Burren from Brian (stressing the Mediterranean component of the flora after a day’s Mediterranean heat and sun), we made our way to the Rathbaun, for some substantial and tasty local food and our first taste of Irish music from the three young ladies of Ceolan, and their energetic four-hour performance (not sure any of us had the stamina to stay to the end). Day 2: 8th June: Poulsallach At 9am we were collected by Tony, our driver from Glynn’s Coaches for the week, and following a half-hour drive we arrived at a coastal stretch of species-rich limestone pavement which represented the perfect introduction to the Burren’s flora: a stunningly beautiful mix of coastal, Mediterranean, Atlantic and Arctic-Alpine species gathered together uniquely in a natural rock garden. First impressions were of patchy grassland, sparkling with heath spotted- orchids Dactylorhiza maculata ericetorum and drifts of the ubiquitous and glowing-purple bloody crane’s-bill Geranium sanguineum, between bare rock. A closer look revealed a diverse and colourful tapestry of dozens of flowers - the yellows of goldenrod Solidago virgaurea, kidney-vetch Anthyllis vulneraria, and bird’s-foot trefoil Lotus corniculatus (and its attendant common blue butterflies Polyommatus Icarus), pink splashes of wild thyme Thymus polytrichus and the hairy local subspecies of lousewort Pedicularis sylvatica ssp.

Once on the intercity express, we settled down to a comfortable journey, through the Swiss countryside, towards the Alps. We passed Lake Zurich and the Walensee, meeting the Rhine as it flows into Liectenstein, and then changed to the UNESCO World Heritage Albula railway at Chur. Dramatic scenery and many loops, tunnels and bridges followed, as we made our way through the Alps. After passing through the long Preda tunnel, we entered a sunny Engadine and made a third change, at Samedan, for the short ride to Pontresina. We transferred to the hotel by minibus and met the remaining two members of our group, before enjoying a lovely evening meal. After a brief talk about the plans for the week, we retired to bed. Day 2 Monday 9th July After a 20-minute walk from the hotel, we caught the 9.06am train at Surovas. We had a scenic introduction to the geography of the region, as we travelled south along the length of Val Bernina, crossing the watershed beside Lago Bianco and alighting at Alp Grum.

The purpose of the NPDRS is to insure that the tools, infrastructure, communication networks, and capacity required for mitigating impacts of high-consequence, plant-disease outbreaks are in place so that a reasonable level of crop production is maintained. Each disease-specific plan is intended to provide a brief primer on the disease, assess the status of critical recovery components, and identify disease management research, extension, and education needs. These documents are not intended to be stand-alone documents that address all of the many and varied aspects of plant disease outbreak and all of the decisions that must be made and actions taken to achieve effective response and recovery. They are, however, documents that will help USDA guide further efforts directed toward plant disease recovery. 1 Executive Summary Scots pine blister rust (caused by the fungi Cronartium flaccidum and Peridermium pini) infects many Eurasian pines including Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine), Pinus pinaster, P.

ISSN (online) 2154-8889 MYCOTAXON http://dx.doi.org/10.5248/127.63 Volume 127, pp. 63–72 January–March 2014 Additions to Ramularia species (hyphomycetes) in Poland Małgorzata Ruszkiewicz-Michalska* & Ewa Połeć Department of Algology and Mycology, Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection, University of Łódź, 12/16 Banacha Str., Łódź, PL–90–237, Poland * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract — The morphology and revised distribution of three Ramularia species (teleomorphs unknown) are presented based on fresh specimens. Ramularia melampyri is new for Poland, and R. celastri is reported from its third (and easternmost) locality in Europe. Ramularia abscondita specimens confirm the occurrence of this species in Poland. As R. melampyri hosts (Melampyrum spp.) are currently classified in Orobanchaceae, the implications of the new systematics of Scrophulariaceae s.l. for the taxonomy of Ramularia and related Mycosphaerella species are discussed briefly. Key words — microfungi, asexual morphs, plant parasites, biogeography, new records Introduction The genus Ramularia, described by Unger in 1833 (cf. Braun 1998), is one of the largest anamorph genera, with known teleomorphs classified in the ascomycetous genus Mycosphaerella Johanson (Braun 1998, Crous 2009). Mycosphaerella s.l. is polyphyletic, but its type species, M. punctiformis (Pers.) Starbäck, has a proven Ramularia anamorph (R. endophylla Verkley & U. Braun). Consequently, the name Mycosphaerella s.str. has been confined to sexual morphs associated with Ramularia anamorphs (Verkley et al. 2004, Crous et al. 2009a). According to the new rules of Art. 59 of the ICN (McNeill et al. 2012), Mycosphaerella and Ramularia are heterotypic synonyms, and so the older name Ramularia, which has priority, is now a holomorph name.

Introduction The list of monocotyledonous culms, flower stalks, rhizomes and stem-features is a result of the studies published in tree volumes: - Vol.I Anatomy of grass culms (Schweingruber and Berger 2017) - Vol. II Anatomy of culms and rhizomes of sedges (Schweingruber and Berger 2018) - Vol. III Anatomy of culms and flower stalks of monocotyledonous plants (Schweingruber and Berger 2018) Here we present the first time a list of features which is applicable on the whole spectrum of monocotyledonous plants in temperate zones of the northern hemisphere. The definition of features is primarily based on double stained microscopic slides from recently collected material. The origin of some feature-characterization originates from monographs of Schenk 1886 and Evans 2003, Seago et al.

The aim of this study was to determine floristic diversity, the chemical composition, nature value and energy value of selected sedge communities in view of habitat conditions in the Noteć valley. This study was based on a total of 46 relevés prepared according to Braun-Blanquet. The identified communities were represented by common plant associations, both natural or semi-natural. They comprised mainly vegetation of meadows excluded from agricultural use, on fresh and partly moist and very moist soils, of weak acid and neutral reaction.
