Biology Department Gustavus Adolphus College 800 W. College Ave. St. Peter, MN 56082 [email protected] 507-933-7043 September 2004 Overview This summarizes the results of Botrychium surveys conducted for Barr Engineering for the Polymet Mining Project. This work was conducted in July 2004 on lands within the Superior National Forest in St. Louis County, Minnesota that are managed by either the U.S Department of Agriculture - Forest Service or the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). Botrychium Survey – Johnson-Groh – p. 2 Barr Engineering – Polymet Project INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Polymet Botrychium survey was to search specified areas for the presence of rare Botrychium. All localities were documented including species and population size. The survey was conducted in St. Louis County in the area east of Hoyt Lakes. Forest cover includes jack pine (Pinus banksiana), aspen (Populus tremuloides), balsam fir (Abies balsamea), paper birch (Betula papyrifera) and black spruce (Picea mariana). These stands are bisected by forest logging roads (FS Road 108 and FS Road 108), Dunka Road, a railroad and a power-line-right of way. The genus Botrychium (moonworts) is among the rarest of fern genera. These small diminutive plants are found in a variety of habitats ranging from native prairies to rich northern hardwoods to calcareous fens to sandy beaches. Several of the species in this genus are listed as endangered and have very limited distributions. Three species are officially listed as endangered in Minnesota (B.

The development, road maintenance, timber harvest, and sterile and fertile fronds typically diverge near the recreation. Effects of small population size, ground surface (0 to 3 cm), though they may diverge up encroachment of woody plants and invasive species, to midway along the total height of the plant. The fronds global climate change, and pollution are also probably are mostly 3 to 15 cm in height with a simple (or once or contributing factors to its apparent decline. Propagation twice pinnate) fertile blade, 0.3 to 5 cm in length. This of Least Moonwort has had minimal success, perhaps in fertile blade is one to four times as long as the sterile part because this species relies heavily on its interaction blade. Spores are finely reticulate. The sterile blade may with mycorrhizal fungus. be simple, or be once or twice divided. Due to its low stature, it may be overlooked and thus under-reported.

  • The Botrychiaceae of Alberta
    The Botrychiaceae of Alberta a survey of element occurrences of the genera Botrychium and Sceptridium in Alberta A Report by Patrick Williston MNIUM ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH To Resource Data Division Alberta Sustainable Resource Development January 2002 THE BOTRYCHIACEAE OF ALBERTA a survey of element occurrences of the genera Botrychium and Sceptridium in Alberta Botrychium ‘michiganense’ 1 INTRODUCTION With 14 listed species, the moonworts, those ferns belonging to the genus Botrychium, are the largest group of rare ferns in Alberta (Gould 2001). This group has appropriately attracted the attention of organizations and government agencies responsible for maintaining biological diversity, both within the province and abroad. With a view to assessing the conservation status of the moonworts, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development funded the publication of a small book that addressed the taxonomy and distributional ecology of these ferns within Alberta (Williston 2001). In the adjacent United States, rare Botrychium species have been the focus of no fewer than six recent reports and conservation strategies (Zika 1994; Zika et al. 1995; Vanderhorst 1997; Hopkins 1999; Farrar 2001; Kolb & Spribille 2001). In 2001, a project was initiated by Alberta Sustainable Resource Development to identify potential threats to these species and their habitats in Alberta. The objectives of the project were to revisit known populations of rare Botrychium species, search for new populations, document (using photographs and Vegetation Description Forms) the characteristics of their habitats, and evaluate potential threats to their security. A synthesis of the data collected during this project is presented in this summary report. METHODS A list of all historical locations of Botrychium populations based upon herbarium collections and additional records from the provincial rare plant database was obtained from the Alberta Natural Heritage Information Centre (ANHIC).

  • Preliminary List of Species Native Within the Adirondack Park Listed Alphabetically by Common Name and Sorted by Habit V.1 Updated 10.23.2006
    Preliminary List of Species Native Within the Adirondack Park Listed Alphabetically by Common Name and Sorted by Habit v.1 Updated 10.23.2006 Purpose The purpose of this list is to provide an information resource to those wishing to plant or otherwise propagate plants native to the Adirondack Park. It could be used by an individual or a group developing a landscaping plan and wishing to use species native to the Park and a particular county. They could use the list as a source of native species and request nurserymen to provide plant materials from it. Although most of these species are not now available from commercial nurseries, it may be that if continued requests are made for them, the nursery industry would see fit to propagate the desired plants. Requesting and planting natives would reduce the call for non-native and potentially invasive species. It should be noted that some of these species will most likely never be sold commercially because of rarity or difficulty in propagation. The list is meant to being a living document with species added and deleted as additional information is collected and verified. Although it may be tempting, plants should never be harvested from the wild. In fact some of these plants are legally protected, and no harvesting can occur on State lands. Refer to the New York Natural Heritage Program website (http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/heritage/plants.htm) for a complete treatment of New York State protected plants and federal and State laws regarding rare plants.

  • Moonworts), on the Idaho Panhandle National Forests
    FIELD INVESTIGATIONS OF BOTRYCHIUM SUBGENUS BOTRYCHIUM (MOONWORTS), ON THE IDAHO PANHANDLE NATIONAL FORESTS by Christine C. Lorain Natural Heritage Section Nongame/Endangered Wildlife Program Bureau of Wildlife December 1990 Idaho Department of Fish and Game 600 South Walnut, P.O. Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Jerry M. Conley, Director Cooperative Challenge Cost Share Project Idaho Panhandle National Forests Idaho Department of Fish and Game Purchase Order No. 53-0281-0-41 ABSTRACT A field survey for nine species of Botrychium subgenus Botrychium (moonworts) was conducted on the Idaho Panhandle National Forests during the summer of 1990 by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's Natural Heritage Program. The investigation was a cooperative Challenge Cost Share project between the Department and the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. Two species of moonwort are listed as Region 1 Sensitive Species, Botrychium minganense for Idaho and Montana, and B. paradoxum for Montana. Several additional moonworts are proposed for listing as Sensitive in Region 1 and three species, Botrychium ascendens, B. crenulatum, and B. paradoxum are federal Category 2 Candidate Species. This investigation concentrated on extending our knowledge of moonworts in Idaho by conducting a survey for nine moonwort species on the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. Prior to 1990, four species of moonwort, Botrychium minganense, B. lanceolatum, B. pinnatum, and B. simplex, were documented from extant sites in Idaho. In addition, two historical collections have been tentatively identified as B. crenulatum. Most of the known Idaho locations of moonworts are on lands administered by the Forest Service. This report documents eight new sightings of four species of moonwort from northern Idaho.
