These studies concluded that pond, approximately 12 miles southeast of wetlands A and B would be largely sustained by Traverse City (Figures 1 and 2). In 2004, it was groundwater discharge, while 60% of wetland C determined that it was no longer economically all of wetland D would be converted to non- feasible to use the dam for hydropower, and it wetland (USFWS 2011). This would result in was decommissioned in 2006. Subsequently, an anticipated loss of 61.1 acres of wetland to be the aging structure became a safety hazard, offset by the expected development of 74 acres requiring several water drawdowns and spurring of wetland on newly exposed bottomlands after consideration of alternatives for the dam, the drawdown of the reservoir. These newly including removal and restoration of the original exposed soils, however, would be extremely cold water river. vulnerable to invasion by non-native plants, Environmental studies were undertaken to including at least 12 highly invasive species that assess potential impacts from dam removal, pose a significant threat to the restoration including consequences for existing wetlands in (USFWS 2011, Christensen and Beachy 2012).

Twenty-six species invasive plant surveys of the Brown Bridge were documented in Brown Bridge Quiet Area Quiet Area. Infestations of all detected species prior to dam removal (Table 1).

    A REVISION OF TRISETUM Victor L. Finot,' Paul M. Peterson,3 (POACEAE: POOIDEAE: Fernando 0 Zuloaga,* Robert J. v sorene, and Oscar Mattnei AVENINAE) IN SOUTH AMERICA1 ABSTRACT A taxonomic treatment of Trisetum Pers. for South America, is given. Eighteen species and six varieties of Trisetum are recognized in South America. Chile (14 species, 3 varieties) and Argentina (12 species, 5 varieties) have the greatest number of taxa in the genus. Two varieties, T. barbinode var. sclerophyllum and T longiglume var. glabratum, are endemic to Argentina, whereas T. mattheii and T nancaguense are known only from Chile. Trisetum andinum is endemic to Ecuador, T. macbridei is endemic to Peru, and T. foliosum is endemic to Venezuela. A total of four species are found in Ecuador and Peru, and there are two species in Venezuela and Colombia. The following new species are described and illustrated: Trisetum mattheii Finot and T nancaguense Finot, from Chile, and T pyramidatum Louis- Marie ex Finot, from Chile and Argentina. The following two new combinations are made: T barbinode var. sclerophyllum (Hack, ex Stuck.) Finot and T. spicatum var. cumingii (Nees ex Steud.) Finot. A key for distinguishing the species and varieties of Trisetum in South America is given. The names Koeleria cumingii Nees ex Steud., Trisetum sect. Anaulacoa Louis-Marie, Trisetum sect. Aulacoa Louis-Marie, Trisetum subg. Heterolytrum Louis-Marie, Trisetum subg. Isolytrum Louis-Marie, Trisetum subsect. Koeleriformia Louis-Marie, Trisetum subsect. Sphenopholidea Louis-Marie, Trisetum ma- lacophyllum Steud., Trisetum variabile E. Desv., and Trisetum variabile var. virescens E. Desv. are lectotypified. Key words: Aveninae, Gramineae, Poaceae, Pooideae, Trisetum.

CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE United States National Herbarium Volume XII, Part 3 TXE&3 OF AMERICAN GRASSES . / A STUDY OF THE AMERICAN SPECIES OF GRASSES DESCRIBED BY LINNAEUS, GRONOVIUS, SLOANE, SWARTZ, AND MICHAUX By A. S. HITCHCOCK z rit erV ^-C?^ 1 " WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE 1908 BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Issued June 18, 1908 ii PREFACE The accompanying paper, by Prof. A. S. Hitchcock, Systematic Agrostologist of the United States Department of Agriculture, u entitled Types of American grasses: a study of the American species of grasses described by Linnaeus, Gronovius, Sloane, Swartz, and Michaux," is an important contribution to our knowledge of American grasses. It is regarded as of fundamental importance in the critical sys- tematic investigation of any group of plants that the identity of the species described by earlier authors be determined with certainty. Often this identification can be made only by examining the type specimen, the original description being inconclusive. Under the American code of botanical nomenclature, which has been followed by the author of this paper, "the nomenclatorial t}rpe of a species or subspecies is the specimen to which the describer originally applied the name in publication." The procedure indicated by the American code, namely, to appeal to the type specimen when the original description is insufficient to identify the species, has been much misunderstood by European botanists. It has been taken to mean, in the case of the Linnsean herbarium, for example, that a specimen in that herbarium bearing the same name as a species described by Linnaeus in his Species Plantarum must be taken as the type of that species regardless of all other considerations.

    Abstract Alliaria Petiolata (Garlic

    ABSTRACT ALLIARIA PETIOLATA (GARLIC MUSTARD) RESPONSE TO HERBICIDE AND JUNE PRECIPITATION, AND SUBSEQUENT EFFECTS ON THE FOREST FLOOR COMMUNITY by Wendy Wenger Hochstedler The impact of invasive plant species on native plants is largely assumed to be negative, but supporting evidence is sparse. We examined the long-term effects of herbicide on Alliaria petiolata and the subsequent effects on the plant community in southwestern Ohio. November herbicide application effectively killed A. petiolata, but did not reduce recruitment; spring densities of A. petiolata rosettes were not lower in sprayed plots. Only modest differences were noted in forest floor vegetation, suggesting A. petiolata rosettes competed with other plant species. We tested the hypothesis that higher June precipitation promotes rosette growth and survival with a rain shelter experiment. The three different water treatments affected soil moisture, but not A. petiolata growth or survival. Dry treatments may not have replicated drought years based on water availability measurements. June precipitation is probably not a reliable predictor of A. petiolata rosette survival in years with above average precipitation.
