Jahresberichte Des Naturwissenschaftlichen Vereins Wuppertal E.V
Jber. naturwiss. Ver. Wuppertal 53 158- 205 Wuppertal, 15.12.2000 Das Käfervorkommen im Burgholz - Untersuchungsaspekte von 1952 bis 1996 Wolfgang Kolbe Mit 1 Tabelle Abstract Since the beginning of the second part of the 20'h century systematic collections ofbeetles were made to investigate the forest populations of the Burgholz State Forest in Wuppertal and Solingen (Northrhine Westphalia, Germany). H.-U. TRIELE was the first, who studied comparatively the composition of animal communities - among other arthropods also the beetles- of 9 testareas in the Burgholz State Forest (1952/53). A new phase in exploration of Coleoptera starts 1969. Over a period of 25 years investigations were made to explore the Coleoptera. One aspect was the influence of the red ants (Formica polyctena) as enemies of carabids.- Very important apparatures to study the structure and dynamic of several populations are pitfall traps, ground photoeclectors and arboreal photoeclectors. Within the catched beetle species above all Staphylinidae, Curculionidae, Scolytidae und Rhizophagidae are in the centre of interest. Important results yield also the investigation in different types offorests (exotic and indigenous wood land trees ), Anfang der zweiten Hälfte des vergangeneu Jahrhunderts begannen die gezielten Aufsammlungen von Käfern in den Wäldern des Staatsforstes Burgholz in Wupper tal und Solingen. Es war Hans-Ulrich TRIELE, der 1952 und 1953 die Aufnahme von Tierbeständen zur Erfassung der Tiergesellschaften in der Bodenstreu verschie dener Waldtypen des Niederbergischen Landes durchführte. Neun seiner insgesamt 27 Probeflächen befanden sich im Burgholz; dabei handelte es sich um Buchen Traubeneichen-Wälder, Fichten- und Lärchenaufforstungen. Hier ein Zitat aus sei ner einschlägigen Publikation: "Von allen in dieser Arbeit behandelten Tiergruppen stellen die Käfer die artenreichste dar. -

Scotch Broom, Scot’S Broom Cytisus Scoparius Fabaceae
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Scotch Broom, Scot’s Broom Cytisus scoparius Fabaceae Class B Noxious Weed Designated for Control only in Select Areas Legal Status in King County: Class B Noxious Weed (non-native species designated for control only in select areas by Washington State law RCW 17.10 and the King County Noxious Weed Control Board). The King County Noxious Weed Control Board requires control on the King County portion of State Route 2 and on Interstate 90 between mile marker 34 and the King-Kittitas County Line. Control is not required for the remainder of the county, but it is recommended where feasible. Control is defined by state law as the prevention of all seed production. State quarantine laws prohibit transporting, buying, selling or offering Scotch broom for sale, or distributing plants, plant parts or seeds. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Impacts and History • Scotch broom displaces native and beneficial plants, causing considerable loss of grassland and open forest habitat. • Seeds and other plant parts are toxic to humans, horses and livestock. • Renders rangeland and grasslands worthless. • Interferes with re-establishment of conifer seedlings on harvested forests. • Damages western Washington and Oregon prairies by changing the chemical composition of the soil and shading out prairie species. • Dense stands can impede movement of wildlife. • Potential fire hazard that can increase the intensity of grassland and forest fires. • Scotch broom is difficult to eradicate due to substantial and long-lived seed bank. • Native to the British Isles and central Europe. Scotch broom was introduced as a garden ornamental in the 1860’s. It was planted along roadsides and cut banks to prevent soil erosion and is found throughout most of western Washington, British Columbia, Oregon and California. -
Release and Establishment of the Scotch Broom Seed Beetle, Bruchidius Villosus, in Oregon and Washington, USA
Release and establishment of the Scotch broom seed beetle, Bruchidius villosus, in Oregon and Washington, USA E.M. Coombs,1 G.P. Markin2 and J. Andreas3 Summary We provide a preliminary report on the Scotch broom seed beetle, Bruchidius villosus (F.) (Coleop- tera: Bruchidae). This beetle was first recorded as an accidental introduction to North America in 1918. Host-specificity tests were completed before the beetle was released as a classical biological control agent for Scotch broom, Cytisus scoparius L. (Fabaceae), in 1997 in the western USA. Beetles were collected in North Carolina and shipped to Oregon in 1998. More than 135 releases of the beetle have been made throughout western Oregon and Washington. Nursery sites have been established, and collection for redistribution began in 2003. The bruchid’s initial establishment rate is higher in in- terior valleys than at cooler sites near the coast and in the lower Cascade Mountains. Seed-pod attack rates varied from 10% to 90% at release sites that were 3 years old or older. Seed destruction within pods varied from 20% to 80%, highest at older release sites. B. villosus may compliment the impact of the widely established Scotch broom seed weevil, Exapion fuscirostre (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculioni- dae). B. villosus populations were equal to or more abundant than the weevil at seven release sites in Oregon. At sites where the bruchids were established, they made up 37% of the seed-pod beetle population, indicating that they are able to compete with the weevil and increase their populations. At several release sites older than 5 years, bruchid populations have become equal to or more abundant than the weevil’s. -
United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service 2013 Ranking Period 1
United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service 2013 Ranking Period 1 Water Quality Enhancement Activity – WQL01 – Biological suppression and other non-chemical techniques to manage brush, herbaceous weeds and invasive species Enhancement Description This enhancement is for the reduction of woody brush, herbaceous weeds and invasive plants using non- chemical methods. Physical methods include pulling, hoeing, mowing, mulching or other similar techniques. Biological methods include use of natural enemies either introduced or augmented. Use of chemicals is prohibited with this enhancement. Land Use Applicability Pastureland, Rangeland, Forestland Benefits Environmental benefits will be site specific. Benefits may include but are not limited to improved water quality achieved through eliminating the use of synthetic pesticides resulting in no chemicals in surface runoff or leaching into the soil profile. Air quality will see similar impacts by eliminating chemical drift and volatilization. Controlling invasive species, brush and weeds will allow native plant communities to return and improve wildlife habitat. Conditions Where Enhancement Applies This enhancement applies to all pasture, range or forest land use acres. Criteria 1. Develop a plan for managing invasive plants, brush and/or weeds that includes: a. Assessment of existing conditions, b. Identify strategies for control, c. Control methods selected, d. Monitoring and evaluation process, and e. Operation and maintenance follow up activities. 2. Implementation of this enhancement requires the use of biological and/or physical pest suppression techniques instead of pesticides. These techniques, used individually or in combination, can include activities such as: a. Grazing animals (primarily through the use of goats) to target undesirable vegetation. b. -

INVERTEBRATES 1. Introduction This Appendix Reports
RAYMOND BROWN EXTENSION TO BRICKWORTH QUARRY MINERALS AND RECYCLING LTD ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ APPENDIX 4: INVERTEBRATES 1. Introduction 1.1.1 This appendix reports the findings of an invertebrate survey carried out on the proposed extension areas to Brickworth Quarry. Survey was undertaken in 2015 by Dr Peter Kirby and Christopher Kirby Lambert MBiol. Both are experienced invertebrate surveyors. 1.1.2 The proposed extension includes two separate areas immediately adjacent to, and separated by, the active workings. These areas are Church and Lowdens Copse (Area A) to the east of the quarry area and Gooseye and Sandland Copse (Area B) to the west. Both areas consist of a complex of habitats including remnants of ancient woodland, rides and tracks, damp areas, conifer plantation, grass fields and other relatively open habitat. Whilst relatively diverse, all of the habitats present are greatly compromised by modification. The majority of the survey area consists of conifer plantation on land previously occupied by ancient woodland. The plantation areas have been variously managed and in places there are remnants of ancient broadleaved woodland, a habitat that would once have been predominant on the site. In addition to the more extensive areas of broadleaved remnant there are scattered broadleaved trees throughout the site as well as large hazel dominated hedgerows marking boundaries. As would be expected from a site dominated by conifer plantations most of the site was under closed canopy woodland or otherwise heavily shaded. 1.1.3 A system of rides and tracks criss-cross the site and provide somewhat more open habitats but these are generally still narrow, shaded and support species poor vegetation.
