  • Big Lagoon Bog
    Big Lagoon Bog Bob Ziemer • McKinleyville • California • USA • [email protected] The Big Lagoon Bog is an inconspicuous 1.3 ha peatland in coastal northwestern California (Figs. 1&2). A reason the bog is of interest to me is that it contains both Sphagnum and Drosera rotundifolia—neither are rare by any stretch of the imagination. What makes this location special is that the bog is isolated with the nearest Drosera rotundifolia neighbors about 80 km north and 200 km south. Peat bogs are rare at low elevations along the coast in California. In contrast, the Darlingtonia bogs in the Klamath region are perennial wet, nutrient poor, ultramafic outcrops with little or no Sphagnum. The Big Lagoon Bog lies 3 m above sea level and is within 300 m of the Pacific Ocean coastline. The bog drains into Big Lagoon, a 590-ha brackish embayment separated from the ocean by a nar- row 6 km long sand bar. Winter rainfall raises the water level in the lagoon several meters above sea level where hydrostatic pressure and high surf breaches the sand bar allowing the lagoon to drain into the ocean and then receive tidal inflow until wave action reforms the bar. Big Lagoon Bog is one of the few peatlands in California that have received floristic study (Lep- pig 2002; Smith 2014). Leppig (2002) found a total of 77 vascular taxa at the bog of which 5 taxa were rare (Carex huxbaumii, C. viridula, Lathyrus palustris, Lycopodiella inundata, and Lycopus uniflora) and 13 alien taxa. The high proportion of alien taxa is due to the area having been logged and grazed, with adjacent homes, a county park, and a nearby campground.

  • Northern California Coast Northern Focus Area
    14.1 Description of Area 14.1.1 The Land The Northern California Coast - Northern Focus Area is composed of coastal Del Norte and Humboldt counties. The boundary extends eastward from the Pacific coast to the top of the first inland mountain range, and encompasses many of the region's existing and former wetlands. The focus area also includes a few important riparian and floodplain areas adjacent to major coastally draining rivers (Figure 13). In this northernmost California County, the coastline tends to be composed of rocky cliffs and high bluffs which rise steeply into the coastal mountain ranges with their deeply cut 14.0 canyons. Two major rivers drain the interior mountain ranges and empty into the Pacific Ocean within the boundary of Del Norte County: the Smith River, which has its origins in north- eastern Del Norte County and southern Oregon, and the Klamath River with headwaters much farther to the NORTHERN north and east in south central Oregon. Humboldt County, to the south, includes portions of CALIFORNIA the California Coast Range and the southern Klamath Mountains. The most extensive coastal wetlands are associated with floodplains in the lower Eel River COAST─ Valley and the Humboldt Bay area. Other significant wetland habitats include Mad River Estuary, Little River Valley, Redwood Creek Estuary, Big Lagoon, NORTHERN Stone Lagoon, and Freshwater Lagoon. Major rivers and streams draining the mountain ranges of Humboldt County include the Eel River, Van Duzen FOCUS AREA River, Mad River, Trinity River, Klamath River, Mattole River, Bear River, and Redwood Creek. Like the Klamath River, the Trinity and Eel rivers have large drainage basins within the Coast Range and the Klamath Mountains.

Exploration 1 Wading Into Our Wetlands What exactly is a wetland? The scientific and legal definitions of wetlands differ. In 1984, when the Florida Legislature passed a Wetlands Protection Act, they decided to use a plant list containing plants usually found in wetlands. We are very fortunate to have a lot of wetlands in Florida. In fact, Florida has the third largest wetland acreage in the United States. The term wetlands includes a wide variety of aquatic habitats. Wetland ecosystems include swamps, marshes, wet meadows, bogs and fens. Essentially, wetlands are transitional areas between dry uplands and aquatic systems such as lakes, rivers or oceans.

  • Freshwater Marsh and Coastal Salt Marsh. Both
    MARSH VEGETATION COMMUNITY There are two types of Marsh lands in San Diego County; Freshwater Marsh and Coastal Salt Marsh. Both of these communities are very important for wildlife, and both have had extensive reductions due to channelization, dredging and vegetation removal. Both communities have been reduced in area by 85-90 percent of their original area to less than 1,000 acres total. Coastal Salt Marsh is found within the tidal zone on the edge of lagoons and bays. The major locations of this community are the Tijuana Estuary, Penasquitos Lagoon and the mouth of the Santa Margarita River. Dominant plants in Coastal Salt Marsh are Glasswort (Salicornia), Alkali heath (Frankenia), Salt grass and Cordgrass. Two notable endangered birds occur within this community, the Light footed clapper rail and the Belding’s savannah sparrow. However, the Marsh lands are also important for shorebirds and the naturally occurring flow channels within Coastal Salt Marsh are important spawning areas for a number of fish species. Freshwater Marsh land is found along stream courses and near Riparian wetland areas. It was originally found near natural springs and ponded areas within the major stream channels. It has been affected by channelization and clearing of vegetation within stream channels. Dominant plants within Freshwater Marsh include rushes, cattails, bulrushes (or tules) and several species of small willows. There is often open water in depressions or natural springs. Freshwater Marsh is home to a number of species of birds including the Yellowthroat, a species of Warbler, several species of small herons as well as rails. Freshwater Marsh in its natural state has also served as habitat for native frog species, several of which are now endangered.

  • Responses of Tidal Freshwater and Brackish Marsh Macrophytes to Pulses of Saline Water Simulating Sea Level Rise and Reduced Discharge
    Wetlands (2018) 38:885–891 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13157-018-1037-2 ORIGINAL RESEARCH Responses of Tidal Freshwater and Brackish Marsh Macrophytes to Pulses of Saline Water Simulating Sea Level Rise and Reduced Discharge Fan Li1 & Steven C. Pennings1 Received: 7 June 2017 /Accepted: 16 April 2018 /Published online: 25 April 2018 # Society of Wetland Scientists 2018 Abstract Coastal low-salinity marshes are increasingly experiencing periodic to extended periods of elevated salinities due to the com- bined effects of sea level rise and altered hydrological and climatic conditions. However, we lack the ability to predict detailed vegetation responses, especially for saline pulses that are more realistic in nature than permanent saline presses. In this study, we exposed common freshwater and brackish plants to different durations (1–31 days per month for 3 months) of saline water (salinity of 5). We found that Zizaniopsis miliacea was more tolerant to salinity than the other two freshwater species, Polygonum hydropiperoides and Pontederia cordata. We also found that Zizaniopsis miliacea belowground and total biomass appeared to increase with salinity pulses up to 16 days in length, although this relationship was quite variable. Brackish plants, Spartina cynosuroides, Schoenoplectus americanus and Juncus roemerianus, were unaffected by the experimental treatments. Our ex- periment did not evaluate how competitive interactions would further affect responses to salinity but our results suggest the hypothesis that short pulses of saline water will increase the cover of Zizaniopsis miliacea and decrease the cover of Polygonum hydropiperoides and Pontederia cordata in tidal freshwater marshes, thereby reducing diversity without necessarily affecting total plant biomass.

To gain insight into how these changes may affect biotic communities, we examined whether variation in the abundance and community structure of large ®shes (SL . 8 cm) in Everglades marshes varied more at regional or intra- regional scales, and whether this variation was related to hydroperiod, water depth, ¯oating mat volume, and vegetation density. From October 1997 to October 2002, we used an airboat electro®sher to sample large ®shes at sites within three regions of the Everglades. Each of these regions is subject to unique water- management schedules. Dry-down events (water depth , 10 cm) occurred at several sites during spring in 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002. The 2001 dry-down event was the most severe and widespread. Abundance of several ®shes decreased signi®cantly through time, and the number of days post-dry-down covaried signif- icantly with abundance for several species.
