Use native, drought-tolerant plants. Reduce fire danger by creating a defensible space and managing vegetation. Avoid planting trees which will grow to block neighbors' views, interfere with utility lines, become less effective in screening, or create a wildfire hazard. Minimize or eliminate lawn area; do not use artificial turf. Choose plants appropriate to the topography and adapted to our Sunset Climate Zone 16. Protect native oak trees in construction and landscaping; hand-dig trenches within the drip line (canopy) of native oaks. Do not irrigate or place cobblestones under oaks. Choose plants that are compatible with oaks when planting within an oak canopy. Preserve riparian habitat and vegetation, e.g., willows. Control erosion by minimizing hardscape and using plants which can stabilize steep slopes. Do not use invasive plants; avoid poisonous ones. Consider using deer-resistant plants, or create local deer fencing. Fences should be minimized to allow the free movement of wildlife.

  • Conifer Communities of the Santa Cruz Mountains and Interpretive
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA CRUZ CALIFORNIA CONIFERS: CONIFER COMMUNITIES OF THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS AND INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE FOR THE UCSC ARBORETUM AND BOTANIC GARDEN A senior internship project in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of BACHELOR OF ARTS in ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES by Erika Lougee December 2019 ADVISOR(S): Karen Holl, Environmental Studies; Brett Hall, UCSC Arboretum ABSTRACT: There are 52 species of conifers native to the state of California, 14 of which are endemic to the state, far more than any other state or region of its size. There are eight species of coniferous trees native to the Santa Cruz Mountains, but most people can only name a few. For my senior internship I made a set of ten interpretive signs to be installed in front of California native conifers at the UCSC Arboretum and wrote an associated paper describing the coniferous forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Signs were made using the Arboretum’s laser engraver and contain identification and collection information, habitat, associated species, where to see local stands, and a fun fact or two. While the physical signs remain a more accessible, kid-friendly format, the paper, which will be available on the Arboretum website, will be more scientific with more detailed information. The paper will summarize information on each of the eight conifers native to the Santa Cruz Mountains including localized range, ecology, associated species, and topics pertaining to the species in current literature. KEYWORDS: Santa Cruz, California native plants, plant communities, vegetation types, conifers, gymnosperms, environmental interpretation, UCSC Arboretum and Botanic Garden I claim the copyright to this document but give permission for the Environmental Studies department at UCSC to share it with the UCSC community.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Although much of the San Francisco Bay Region is densely populated and industrialized, many thousands of acres within its confines have been set aside as parks and preserves. Most of these tracts were not rescued until after they had been altered. The construction of roads, the modification of drainage patterns, grazing by livestock, and the introduction of aggressive species are just a few of the factors that have initiated irreversible changes in the region’s plant and animal life. Yet on the slopes of Mount Diablo and Mount Tamal- pais, in the redwood groves at Muir Woods, and in some of the regional parks one can find habitats that probably resemble those that were present two hundred years ago. Even tracts that are far from pristine have much that will bring pleasure to those who enjoy the study of nature. Visitors to our region soon discover that the area is diverse in topography, geology, cli- mate, and vegetation. Hills, valleys, wetlands, and the seacoast are just some of the situa- tions that will have one or more well-defined assemblages of plants. In this manual, the San Francisco Bay Region is defined as those counties that touch San Francisco Bay. Reading a map clockwise from Marin County, they are Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and San Francisco. This book will also be useful in bordering counties, such as Mendocino, Lake, Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito, because many of the plants dealt with occur farther north, east, and south. For example, this book includes about three-quarters of the plants found in Monterey County and about half of the Mendocino flora.

Arctostaphylos mewukka Indian Manzanita, an example of endemism California Floristic Province Ecological Hotspot Criteria: • Over 1500 species of irreplaceable endemic vascular plants CA has over 2100 • Less than 30% of original vegetation CA has 24% • 35 hotspots in the world • Cover just 2.3% of Earth’s land surface • Support more than 50% of plant species • California is one of just 5 Mediterranean hotspots Geology and topography help determine what grows where: Soils from ocean sediment, uplift, glaciation, volcanoes… Plants evolved on varied substrates They’re evolving while we speak! Plants in nature don’t use fertilizer Organic matter: leaves, stems, animal manure, dead things… Soil biota: decomposers (fungi, bacteria) and ‘soil animals’ (protozoa, nematodes) Decomposition by microbes is extremely complex. They decompose and build new organic Nutrient exchanges compounds. Soil interacts with the compounds. Native plants drive ecosystems via evolutionary interdependencies Each member provides ecosystem services There are multiple nutrition strategies Plants tend to congregate in overlapping Plant Communities Examples: • Oak Woodland • Chaparral • Dry Perennial/Scrub • Grassland • Riparian * These are just the main plant communities around Placerville and Cameron Park Oak Woodland Community 5 main oak species (Blue, Valley, Interior, Canyon, and Black oak) Grey pine Toyon Mexican elderberry California bay California

Montalvo Order: Rosales Subclass: Rosidae Class: Magnoliopsida Fruits (pomes) in late fall and winter. A. Subspecific taxa None recognized by Phipps (2012, 2016) in Jepson Manual or Jepson e-Flora. B. Synonyms Photinia arbutifolia (Ait.) Lindl.; Crataegus arbutifolia Ait. (McMinn 1939) Heteromeles (Lindl.) M. Roemer arbutifolia var. arbutifolia ; H. a. var. cerina (Jeps.) E.

Common name toyon, California Christmas berry, California-holly (Painter 2016); Christmas berry (CalFlora 2016). D. Taxonomic relationships Phylogenetic analyses based on molecular and morphological data confirm thatPhotinia is the most closely related genus (Guo et al. 2011). Photinia differs in having 20 stamens, fused carpels, and stone cells in the testa as well as occurring in summer-wet environments (Phipps 1992). E. Related taxa in region None. There is only one species of Heteromeles. The closely related Photinia is primarily tropical (Meyer 2008) and not in California. Toyon's taxonomic stability may be in part related to its reproductive mode (Wells 1969). F. Taxonomic issues The three varieties of H. arbutifolia listed above in cell I. B. are currently recognized in the USDA PLANTS (2016) database. G. Other One of the most widely distributed California shrubs. Also widely planted and well-known for its bright red fruits in winter. McMinn (1939) noted it had been planted widely in parks and gardens since about 1914. From the Greek words 'heter' for different and 'malus' for apple (Munz 1974).
