These reports are of interest and applicability to a broad audience in the National Park Service and others in natural resource management, including scientists, conservation and environmental constituencies, and the public. The Natural Resource Report Series is used to disseminate comprehensive information and analysis about natural resources and related topics concerning lands managed by the National Park Service. The series supports the advancement of science, informed decision-making, and the achievement of the National Park Service mission. The series also provides a forum for presenting more lengthy results that may not be accepted by publications with page limitations.

Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This Is a Consolidated List Of
RWKiger 26 Jul 18 Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 24 and 25. In citations of articles, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbreviated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix "a"; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with "b". Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes. Aares, E., M. Nurminiemi, and C. Brochmann. 2000.

Giant Sandreed Plant Guide
Natural Resources Conservation Service Plant Guide Distribution: For current distribution, please consult the GIANT SANDREED Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Web site. Giant sandreed can be found from southern Utah Calamovilfa gigantea (Nutt.) (north of Kanab, Kane County) to Arizona, east to Scribn. & Merr. southwestern Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and to central Plant Symbol = CAGI3 Texas. For current distribution, please consult the Plant Profile Contributed by: USDA NRCS Manhattan Plant page for this species on the PLANTS Web site. Materials Center Habitat: A valuable sand binder that is closely related to prairie sandreed (Calamovilfa longifolia) of the mid- western states. A valuable species to control erosion on deep sandy soils subjected to severe wind erosion. Will grow in large colonies and dominate a site if properly managed, Fig. 2. Figure 2 Giant sandreed growing on a sand dune in its natural habitat at Little Sahara State Park, Woods Co., Oklahoma Photo Courtesy P. B. Pelser @ www.phytoimages.siu.edu Adaptation Figure 1 Inflorescence of giant sandreed This species exhibits optimal performance on sandy Photo by Alan Shadow, USDA NRCS textured soils. Alternate Names Uses Big sandreed, big sandreed grass Giant sandreed is valuable for controlling erosion on deep sands subject to severe wind erosion. It cures well on the Synonyms stem, thus providing good winter forage for livestock. Calamagrostis gigantea Nutt. When grown on sites large enough to be managed as a separate unit it can be hayed or used as reserve for winter Description forage. General: Giant sandreed is a robust perennial, native, warm-season grass with strong creeping rhizomes.
