Irish Plant Monitoring Scheme 2016 Pilot Grasslands Irish Plant Monitoring Scheme 2016 Pilot Grasslands Help track changes in Ireland’s Flora Learn plant identification and help track changes in Ireland’s Flora Introduction What is it? The Irish Plant Monitoring Scheme has been developed so that we can better understand our environment and track changes in Ireland’s Flora. The scheme sets out to encourage, support and co-ordinate volunteers interested in botanical recording. It is also a fantastic learning experience, especially for beginners as you will be provided with ID guides, a structured way to record and a learning support system. Within the scheme, we ask volunteers to record all plant species found within small plots in different habitat types. This year we are monitoring grasslands. It is hoped that each habitat type can be resurveyed on a 5-10 yearly basis Why should I take part? By taking part in the Irish Plant Monitoring Scheme you will be contributing to a national recording scheme, which will track changes in Ireland’s Flora. The scheme provides an opportunity for you to upskill and learn more about plants, particularly if you are a beginner to botany. There is also a great opportunity for volunteers who are already familiar with wildflowers to learn new groups (grasses, sedges, etc.). In the scheme you will claim a 1km² site to record within, and we hope you will help us track changes (species, habitats, threats, etc.) in these sites into the future. This is particularly useful if you already regularly record at the site but aren’t making comprehensive lists of species, habitat type or potential threats. Methodology The entire scheme is managed using an online system at: (https://surveys.biodiversityireland.ie) This site allows you claim your survey site and is where you will submit your data. Claiming your Site • Request a 1km² site using online system (https://surveys.biodiversityireland.ie) • You can choose between a Priority site, Additional site or your own Elected site. • Priority Site – 50 sites which need to be covered for the survey, if there is one near you or you feel that you want to take on a priority site, that would be great! Priority sites are just sites that have been randomly stratified across Ireland by grassland type and by ecological strata. This ensures that we monitor as much grassland diversity as possible within the pilot. • Additional Site – Find sites which are local to you, with so many sites across the country you’re likely to find one which isn’t too far away. • Elected Site – If you would like to add a grassland site, please get in touch and we will add the 1km² to the online system. • Make sure to get landowners permission before you start your survey. • Visit your chosen grassland site and take note of habitats and any other interesting features. • A minimum of two plots should be carried out, if you feel that your site is extremely diverse then up to five plots can be carried out. • The plots should be a representative sample of the site you are studying. This will involve walking the area beforehand and then placing your plot in an area that you feel best represents the entire grassland. For example if the majority of your site includes grasses while only a very small amount contains wildflowers, do not complete all plots within the wildflower area, as it would not be representative of the entire area. While it may be difficult, try to be impartial and only use the results you have gained from walking around your site to influence your plot positioning. • Try and keep your plot away from heavily shaded treelines and walls as this will give skewed results. How to record your plots • Mark out a 2x2m plot and record all plant species found within this small area. This booklet includes an identification guide which contains the species of flowering plants you are most likely to see in your plot ordered by colour. There are also guides available on the website for the most likely grasses, sedges and mosses you will find. You should try to identify as much as you can in your plot. • If you can not work out what the species is then it is good to take detailed pictures of the plant (flower, leaves, overall form and any other distinctive features). Again, while high quality, detailed pictures are best, as long as the picture is clear and the features in focus (not blurry) then it should still be possible to get an identification. You can send queries and any photographs for identification to [email protected] and we will try to get back to you as soon as possible. • While completing your plots and identifying species you should also assess the percentage cover of the plants present within your plot. If Daisy covers one quarter of the area of the plot, it will get a percentage cover of 25%. • Any additional information or pictures relating to your site or plots (potential threats, land use and signs of management, etc.) are also very useful. • Records along with all information about your site can be added to the online system at https://surveys.biodiversityireland.ie – instructions on how to use the online system can be found at http://www.biodiversityireland.ie/plant-monitoring-scheme/ • Hard copy recording forms are also available from http://www.biodiversityireland.ie/plant- monitoring-scheme/ Mapping • If you feel confident with habitat classification, there is a special feature in the online system that allows you to mark out the habitats present within your overall site. This will also allow you to mark in adjacent habitats which could potentially influence your site in the future (scrub encroachment, improvement etc.). Adjacent Habitats bordering on your main habitat Main Habitat A map for a site including all relevant habitats (shapes where you with cross hatchings and lines). This includes adjacent will carry out habitats within the 1km². your plots. Plots 2m 2m 2m 2m 2X2m marked out with rope. Examples of marked out plots, all are ready to record in. The easiest way to mark out your plot is to use some rope/cord/tape and pegs. It’s much easier to pre-mark your cord before doing your site visit or to bring measuring tape. Recording Species This booklet aims to aid the identification of plants found in grasslands as part of the Irish Plant Monitoring Scheme. The plants below where chosen due to the likelihood that you would come across them on this survey. The basis for this choice is the Irish Semi-natural Grassland Survey 2007-2012. Some species and families are particularly difficult to identify, so we have developed online ID Guides for these tricky groups. If you see ID Guide beside your species you can find more detailed identification help online: http://www.biodiversityireland.ie/plant-monitoring-scheme/ There are also guides for grasses, sedges, rushes and other trickier groups online at the above site. - More likely to be found in a wet grassland. - More likely to be found in a dry grassland . Throughout this booklet the structure is – Common Name (Scientific name) (Flowering period) Irish Name Family Name Flowering period is displayed using numbers: 1 = January 12 = December So a flowering period between May and July would be (5-7). If you have never taken part or completed a survey like this, it can be useful to have a systematic approach to recording, especially if your are in an incredibly diverse site, as the number of species may appear daunting. • Record wildflowers first – you can make this recording more systematic by choosing to record by colour, taking blue flowers first, then purple, pink, white etc.. This will allow you maximise the usefulness of this booklet as this is also the order that species are displayed. • Record grasses/sedges/rushes – After recording the wildflowers that you know, it is best to move on to a slightly trickier group. There are online guides to help with grasses, sedges and rushes. • Take photographs - If you can not identify the species, be sure to take multiple photos. Be sure to get a picture of the flower, leaves, overall form and any other features which you feel may be useful to the identification. Try to get your photos clear and in focus and take lots from many different angles, the defining feature of the species may not be visible in a top-down picture. Take notes along with your photos, in particular height, the more information you give the better the chances are to get a correct identification. [If you need help with the identification of a plant, you can send photos to [email protected] ] • Take samples - If you can not identify the species, you can take a sample back with you, in order to use a more comprehensive guide or key. If you take a sample (you will need to take the entire plant with you, be sure to pull the plant up and take basal leaves also) and still can not find the species be sure to safely press your specimen on clean, dry paper under a weight, so that you can show the species to a determiner at a later date. Only take a sample if there is a good population of the species growing in the location.

  • Services of Comarum Palustre (Rosaceae)
    Multilevel Spatial Structure Impacts on the Pollination Services of Comarum palustre (Rosaceae) Laurent Somme*, Carolin Mayer, Anne-Laure Jacquemart Earth and Life Institute-Agronomy, Research Team Genetics, Reproduction, Populations, Universite´ Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium Abstract Habitat destruction and fragmentation accelerate pollinator decline, consequently disrupting ecosystem processes such as pollination. To date, the impacts of multilevel spatial structure on pollination services have rarely been addressed. We focused on the effects of population spatial structure on the pollination services of Comarum palustre at three levels (i.e. within-population, between-populations and landscape). For three years, we investigated 14 Belgian populations, which differed in their within-population flower density, population surface, closure (i.e. proportion of the population edge that consisted of woody elements) and isolation (i.e. percentage of woody area cover within a 500 m radius from the population centre). We tested whether these spatial characteristics impact on pollinator abundance and visitation rate and thus, reproductive success of C. palustre. Insects were observed in 15 randomly-chosen plots in each population. We tested for pollen limitation with supplemental hand-cross pollination. Bumble bees and solitary bees were the major pollinators through all populations. Within populations, plots with high flower densities attracted high numbers of bumble bees and other insects. High bumble bee and solitary bee abundance was observed in populations presenting high proportions of woody edges and in populations within landscapes presenting high proportions of woody areas. Seed set resulting from open pollination varied with bumble bee and solitary bee visitation rate, leading to increased pollen limitation when pollinators were scarce.

  • Potentilla Using DNA Sequences of Nuclear Ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS), and Implications for the Classification of Rosoideae (Rosaceae)
    --Plant Pl. Syst. Evol. 211:155-179 (1998) Systematics and Evolution © Springer-Verlag 1998 Printed in Austria Phylogenetic analysis of Potentilla using DNA sequences of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS), and implications for the classification of Rosoideae (Rosaceae) TORSTEN ERIKSSON, MICHAEL J. DONOOHUE, and MALIN S. HIBBS Received December 17, 1996; in revised version March 18, 1997 Key words: Rosaceae, Rosoideae, PotentilIa, Fragaria, Duchesnea. - Phylogeny, classification, phylogenetic nomenclature, ribosomal DNA, ITS. Abstract: The circumscription of Potentilla has varied widely. To investigate the monophyly of Potentilla and the phylogenetic relationships of associated genera we used nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) DNA sequences. Fourteen species of Potentilla (sensu WOLF 1908) were included, some of which represent proposed segregate genera (such as Argentina, Comarum, Drymocallis, Duchesnea, Pentaphylloides, and Sibbaldiopsis), and 17 other genera of Rosoideae, using Prunus as outgroup. Out most parsimonious tree strongly implies that Potentilla is not monophyletic. Forcing the monophyly of Potentilla yields distinctly longer trees. Several morphological features appear to have evolved several times independently, including the swollen receptacle ("strawberry") and temate leaves. In order to minimise nomenclatural change and to name only well supported clades, Potentilla should be split into several genera, while other previously recognised genera such as Duchesnea, Horkelia, and Ivesia are best included in Potentilla. We suggest, however, that a phylogenetic nomenclature (sensu DE QuEraoz & GAUTHIEU 1994) might be a better solution. Potentilla L. is a rather large genus (c. 200-500 species) of herbaceous or some- what woody perennials distributed mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. Species diversity is highest in northern Eurasia.
