  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report
    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.

What are Native, Local-Genotype Species? “Native” merely means the species was natural to the area before European settlement. “Local-genotype” means the strain is adapted to the area in which it is found. This is a very important detail. Just because Panicum virgatum (Switch grass) is native to your area doesn’t mean the genotype of a particular seed is properly “local”. We can probably agree that a genotype from Texas isn’t the same as one from Minnesota – even if the species is the same – and you probably don’t want to plant it in your Minnesota prairie.

Holmberg 530 W Whiskey Creek Rd, Washington, MO 63090 Woods Prairie is a scenic and rare refuge of unplowed native tallgrass prairie on the northwestern fringe of the Ozarks bioregion in southwestern Missouri. This isolated 40-acre prairie remnant near the town of Mt. Vernon was part of a 1,700-acre homestead settled in 1836 by John Blackburn Woods of Tennessee. For four generations, the Woods family carefully managed the prairie while protecting it from the plow as all other nearby prairies were destroyed. By 1999, less than 40 acres of the original vast prairie remained, and John’s great granddaughter, Mary Freda (Woods) O’Connell, sold it to the Ozark Regional Land Trust (ORLT, Carthage, MO), to be protected in perpetuity as a nature reserve for public study and enjoyment. ORLT, a non-profit conservation organization founded in 1984 to protect the unique natural features of the Ozarks, completed the purchase on May 27, 1999 through a unique, complex scheme detailed in Thomas and Galbraith (2003).

  • Western Silvery Aster Podcast.Pages
    podcasts Encyclopedia of Life eol.org Western Silvery Aster Podcast and Scientist Interview Symphyotrichum sericeum When biologist Diana Bizecki Robson sits in the middle of the tallgrass prairie in a park near Winnipeg, she sees stars—the tiny, bright flowers of the western silvery aster. The prairie may seem a world away from our modern lives, but Robson shows how this endangered ecosystem’s flora and fauna are intimately connected with our own well-being. Transcript Ari: From the Encyclopedia of Life, this is One Species at a Time. I’m Ari Daniel Shapiro. Robson: I feel like a voyeur. Just saw two bees having sex on this flower! So bees really do do it. Ari: Diana Bizecki Robson is crouched on the ground. It’s not really the bees she’s interested in. It’s more the flowers, and their relationship with the bugs. The transcendent dance between the plants and their pollinators, and ultimately, as you’ll hear, even us. Robson is a botanist at the Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg, Canada. She’s brought me here, to a tall grass prairie at Bird’s Hill Park – just to the northeast of Winnipeg – to show me one plant in particular. It’s a public park, but today, it’s just the two of us out here. Ari: So you look out, I mean, there’s some trees ringing the far part of the field, but a lot of grass out there. Robson: Yeah, it’s got a few unique species that are popping out here. Ari: Robson adjusts her eyes – from gazing outwards across the field to looking downwards.
