  • The Ecological Recovery of Saguaro National Park After Removal of Cattle Grazing and Associated Succession
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ryan James Summers for the degree of Master of Science in Rangeland Ecology & Management presented on May 6, 2020. Title: The Ecological Recovery of Saguaro National Park after Removal of Cattle Grazing and Associated Succession. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Ricardo Mata-Gonzalez Abstract In the area that is now Saguaro National Park East, grazing began in the 1880's. Because of the impact to the iconic saguaro cactus as well as all palatable plant species in the area, ecological damage in the park were determined to be so great that anti-grazing conservationists challenged the right of grazing to continue in what was Saguaro National Monument. Ultimately, this group won a court case eliminating grazing in 1978. The Rincon Mountains, located within the park are one of many Madrean Sky Island ecosystems connecting the Rocky Mountains to the Sierra Madre mountain ranges to the south in Mexico. This area is one of the most biodiverse locations on the planet, with over 6,000 plant species (USFS, N.D.). This area is also poorly understood when considering succession and the impacts of disturbance to compositional guilds of plant species. Surveys of ten plots began in 1976 and were replicated in 2007 and 2018 in an effort to understand vegetation changes as affected by grazing management, as well as fire disturbance. The study plots were arranged into intensely grazed and lightly grazed to compare the composition of the plant community through time. Ultimately, little significance was found when considering the composition of paired plots through time, the original aim of the study.

  • How Will Bark Contribute to Plant Survival Under Climate Change? a Comparison of Plant Communities in Wet and Dry Environments
    How will bark contribute to plant survival under climate change? A comparison of plant communities in wet and dry environments. Julieta Rosell, Instituto de Ecología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México [email protected] INTRODUCTION Climate change and the effect on vegetation structure and function Climate change is bringing new conditions of temperature, rainfall, and fire regime in most of the world (Ipcc, 2014). These new conditions are affecting ecosystems worldwide, including forests. Forests in general, and tropical forests in particular, have a very strong role in the regulation of climate (Bonan, 2008) and are crucial to the provision of multiple ecosystem services (Brandon, 2014). Because of this importance, there is an ever- increasing interest in understanding how tropical forests respond to these new climate conditions (Cavaleri et al., 2015). Understanding the mechanistic causes of these responses is crucial to manage the effect of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. Several studies have addressed the effect of new climate conditions on plant traits and performance (Corlett & Westcott, 2013; Soudzilovskaia et al., 2013; Law, 2014; Tausz & Grulke, 2014). These studies have indicated that, for example, plants have started to produce flowers and leaves earlier in spring (Cleland et al., 2012), and that higher net primary productivity will increase as a result of climate change in certain areas (Nemani et al., 2003), whereas increased tree mortality will be expected in others (Anderegg et al., 2013). Most studies have mainly focused on well known organs such as leaves (Li et al., 2015) and wood (Choat et al., 2012). Despite being so important for plant function and representing a significant amount of biomass, the role of bark in the response to climate change and in plant survival in general is unclear.

  • Regeneration Dynamics in Response to Slash-And-Burn Agriculture in a Tropical
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Daniela Roth for the degree of Master of Science in Rangeland Resources presented on January 5, 1996. Title: Regeneration Dynamics in Response to Slash-and-Burn Agriculture in a Tropical Deciduous Forest in Western Mexico. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Patricia M. Miller Few studies have focused on the response of woody vegetation and seed banks to slash-and-burn agriculture in tropical deciduous forest ecosystems. To bridge this gap in knowledge, the following research project was undertaken. Pasture conversion fires killed 87% of the sampled woody plants that had sprouted following slashing of a tropical deciduous forest. Species richness was reduced by 40%. Prior to burning 96% of all sampled plants sprouted from above-ground tissues. Post-burn 98% of the survivors sprouted from below-ground tissues. During the first year following pasture conversion, survival of sprouting plants was high, 91%. Average height, elliptical crown area, and total area covered by sprouting plants tripled, average crown volume increased over 500% within a year. To document impacts on species composition, density, and structure prior to and following pasture conversion, transects were established in the intact forest in 1992 and following pasture conversion in 1994. Additional transects were established in an adjacent 10-year old pasture. The intact forest had an average density of 3115 ± 137 (3T± 1 SE) woody plants/ha (DBH z 2.5 cm), containing 59 species. Following pasture conversion the average density of woody plants/ha (stump diameter 1.0 cm) was 1338 ± 133. Thirty-six species were identified. The ten year old pasture had an average density of 1592 ± 105 woody plants/ha, containing 32 species.

  • Dalea Sept 2016
    The Weekly Plant 29 Sept 2016 Common names: indigo bush, prairie clover Scientific name: these plants are in the genus Dalea1 Discussion Dalea is a large genus native to the New World. There are 160 species, found from Canada to Argentina. Sixty-two of those are native to the US and almost half of those are native to Arizona. Though you can usually tell when you have a Dalea, it’s not always easy to determine which one you have. This 100th issue of Weekly Plant describes several of the Daleas you are most likely to see in our area. First, let’s deal with pronunciation. I tend to say da-LE-uh, but that’s not how Arizonans pronounce it. They say DAHL-ya. The problem is that there is another plant, Dahlia, pronounced in the United States as DAHL-ya. Yep, that’s two DAHL- yas. I just can’t bring myself to say DAHL-ya for Dalea so I’ve reverted to writing the name on paper as needed at garden centers and keeping my mouth shut. Daleas are in the pea family (Fabaceae). They all have the classic pea flower (see photos) but unlike most peas, they have very small pods, usually with only one seed. Flowers may be blue, purple, white, yellow, or bicolor. Daleas are “rub and sniff” plants. The leaves, stems, and sometimes flowers are covered with glands, which are often visible to the naked eye. When the leaves are rubbed, the glands break open and release fragrant oils. These characteristics are shared by closely related plants such as Eysenhardtia (kidneywood), Psorothamnus (smoketree found in Joshua Tree National Park), and Amorpha (leadplant of Midwestern prairies).

The leafing phenology of tropical plants has been primarily associated with seasonal changes in the availability of water and light. In Tropical Dry Forests most plants are deciduous during the dry season and flush new leaves at the onset of the rains. In contrast to this pattern, a small group of species present an inverse strategy of leaf production, being deciduous during the wet season and flushing new leaves during the dry season. In Costa Rica, the only species with such behavior is the phreatophytic understory shrub Jacquinia nervosa (Theoprastaceae). In this study, we determined how seasonal changes in light availability (photon flux density, PFD) influence the leafing and reproductive phenology of this species. We monitored leaf production, leaf survival and leaf life span in 36 adult plants (1.2-5.5 m in height) during 16 months (April 2000 through October 2001) in Santa Rosa National Park. Leaf censuses, as well as flower and fruit counts (when available), were done every two weeks. Changes in PFD were monitored using canopy photos to measure the direct and indirect radiation reaching each plant from December 2000 to February 2001. We also analyzed how leaf structure matched dry season conditions by inspecting changes in leaf specific mass, leaf expansion rates, and internal leaf anatomy.
