Sensitive and Conservation Plant Species Winn Range Botanical Report for Herbicide Release for Longleaf Pine Plantations 2013: Sensitive and Conservation Plant Species Winn Ranger District Kisatchie National Forest Southern Region USDA Forest Service Proposed Actions: Herbicide release on 535 acres in 17 separate stands of young longleaf pine trees. Contact Person: David Moore Forest Botanist, Kisatchie National Forest 2500 Shreveport Highway Pineville, LA (318) 473-7016 [email protected] Abstract. The Winn RD is proposing an herbicide release project in 17 longleaf pine plantations encompassing 535 acres. The herbicides proposed for use are triclopyr, imazapyr, and glyphosate. The herbicides will be applied as per label instructions, and by following Forest Service regulations and guidelines. This treatment should kill the competing understory and release the newly-planted longleaf pine trees. This action will also prevent further or future damage to trees after applications have been completed. Surveys were conducted by Moore on September 20, September 21, October 17, October 19, 2012, Nov. 8, 2012, Dec. 6, 2012 and Dec. 12, 2012. No sensitive or conservation plant species were found. No significant populations of non-native invasive species (NNIS) were found. It is expected that none of the 81 sensitive or conservation plant species on the Kisatchie National Forest will occur in the project area, and no trend towards federal listing or a loss of viability is expected to result from the proposed actions. Introduction and Proposed Management Actions This botanical report considers the effects of herbicide release in 17 longleaf pine plantations on the Winn Ranger District, Kisatchie National Forest, Louisiana. Sensitive Plant Species are identified on the USFS Region 8 Intranet, at http://fsweb.r8.fs.fed.us/nr/fwr/PETS_FSWeb/ref/fs/080701_rfss_fsweb.xls. Conservation plant species are identified under the the1999 Revised Land and Resource Management Plan (below called the ―Forest Plan‖) for the Kisatchie National Forest (NF). Moore performed surveys for TESC plant species and their habitats in select stands that comprise the project area (Table 1) on September 20, September 21, October 17, October 19, 2012, Nov. 8, 2012, Dec. 6, 2012 and Dec. 12, 2012. Forest Service direction relevant to this project 1 includes the 1999 Revised Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) for the Kisatchie NF, the Environmental Impact Statement for the 1999 Revised Land and Resource Management Plan, and Forest Service Manual (FSM) section 2670.32. The Forest Plan has guidelines regarding such habitats as bogs, bayhead swamps, calcareous prairies, calcareous streamside forest, glades, and barrens in Forest Wide (FW) standards and guidelines FW-677 through FW- 700 on pages 2-57 through 2-60. Table 1. Stands that comprise the Project Area.

This botanical report will consider which sensitive or conservation plant species may be present in the project area based on their habitat requirements, which conservation plant species have been found in the project area, and which conservation plant species will be excluded from further consideration based on a lack of appropriate habitat. The effects of the proposed actions on those plant species retained for further consideration will be evaluated and a determination of effects provided. Consultation history No consultation with other agencies occurred with regard to plant surveys because no threatened or endangered plants are known to occur on the Kisatchie NF and the project is occurring exclusively on Forest Service land. Conservation plant species considered and plant species evaluated A. General Considerations 2 The conservation plant species are taken from Table 3-7 of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Forest Plan. Not all of the species on this list have suitable habitat within the project area, or they may be found in habitats that may be present, but are prohibited from disturbance under the Forest Plan. With regard to the latter, it is important to note that the Forest Plan prohibits most activities that would disturb the land within 50 feet of a stream (this zone is known as a streamside habitat protection zone or SHPZ), including timber production, regeneration by clearcutting, seed-tree, or shelterwood, salvage of single or double trees, mechanical site preparation, log decks or landings, and extraction of common variety minerals (Forest Wide standards FW-510 and FW-511 on page 2-43 of the Forest Plan. An important consideration for determining which plant species to consider further is their habitat requirements. Plants whose habitats are not found in the project area do not need to be considered further. Different authors have used different terms to describe the same habitats, which can cause confusion. To make the terminology more uniform, the habitat terms used below are taken from the habitat types recognized by the Louisiana Natural Heritage Program, in particular the terms used in their surveys of the Kisatchie National Forest, such as Martin and Smith (1991). Table 2 below indicates which of the species considered were excluded from further analysis and the reasons for their exclusion. In the sections below the effects of the proposed project on the species that were not excluded will be evaluated. Table 2.

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

Therefore, the types of mycoheterotrophic plant are very abundant in tropical areas. One of the areas in Indonesia with the tropics is North Sumatera province. Unfortunately, the information about the species of mycoheterotrophic in North Sumatra is still limited. The objective of the research was to figure out the types of mycoheterotrophic plants in North Sumatra. The study was conducted in August until October 2019 in several areas of the Natural Resources Conservation Hall (BBKSDA) of North Sumatra province, the nature Reserve and nature Park. The research sites covered Tinggi Raja Nature Reserve, Dolok Sibual-Buali Nature Reserve, Sibolangit Tourist Park and Sicike-Cike Natural Park. In conducting sampling, the method used was through exploration or cruising method.

  • The Natural Communities of South Carolina
    THE NATURAL COMMUNITIES OF SOUTH CAROLINA BY JOHN B. NELSON SOUTH CAROLINA WILDLIFE & MARINE RESOURCES DEPARTMENT FEBRUARY 1986 INTRODUCTION The maintenance of an accurate inventory of a region's natural resources must involve a system for classifying its natural communities. These communities themselves represent identifiable units which, like individual plant and animal species of concern, contribute to the overall natural diversity characterizing a given region. This classification has developed from a need to define more accurately the range of natural habitats within South Carolina. From the standpoint of the South Carolina Nongame and Heritage Trust Program, the conceptual range of natural diversity in the state does indeed depend on knowledge of individual community types. Additionally, it is recognized that the various plant and animal species of concern (which make up a significant remainder of our state's natural diversity) are often restricted to single natural communities or to a number of separate, related ones. In some cases, the occurrence of a given natural community allows us to predict, with some confidence, the presence of specialized or endemic resident species. It follows that a reasonable and convenient method of handling the diversity of species within South Carolina is through the concept of these species as residents of a range of natural communities. Ideally, a nationwide classification system could be developed and then used by all the states. Since adjacent states usually share a number of community types, and yet may each harbor some that are unique, any classification scheme on a national scale would be forced to recognize the variation in a given community from state to state (or region to region) and at the same time to maintain unique communities as distinctive.

    Oklahoma Native Plant Record 39 Volume 1, Number 1, December 2001 Native Orchids of Oklahoma Dr. Lawrence K. Magrath Curator-USAO (OCLA) Herbarium Chickasha, OK 73018-5358 As of the publication of this paper Oklahoma is known to have orchids of 33 species in 18 genera, which compares to 20 species and 11 genera reported by Waterfall (1969). Four of the 33 species are possibly extinct in the state based on current survey work. The greatest concentration of orchid species is in the southeastern corner of the state (Atoka, Bryan, Choctaw, LeFlore, McCurtain and Pushmataha Counties). INTRODUCTION Since the time of Confucius (551-479 BCE) who mentioned lan in his writings, "acquaintance with The family Orchidaceae is the largest of the good men was like entering a room full of lan or families of flowering plants with somewhere between fragrant orchids" (Withner, 1959), orchids have been 25,000 and 35,000 species, with new species important in many facets of Chinese life including continually being described. There are also literature, painting, horticulture, and not least, numerous natural and artificial hybrids. The only medicine". They are mentioned in the materia place where orchids are not known to occur is medica, “Sheng nung pen ts'ao ching”, tracing back Antarctica. to the legendary emperor Sheng Nung (ca. 28th Orchids fascinate us because of the century BCE). The term "lan hua" in early Chinese seemingly infinite combinations of colors and forms records refers to species of the genus Cymbidium that are found in orchid flowers from the Arctic to (Withner, 1959), most likely Cymbidium the tropical rain forests.

  • Specificity of Assemblage, Not Fungal Partner Species, Explains
    The ISME Journal (2021) 15:1614–1627 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41396-020-00874-x ARTICLE Specificity of assemblage, not fungal partner species, explains mycorrhizal partnerships of mycoheterotrophic Burmannia plants 1 1 2 3,4 2 Zhongtao Zhao ● Xiaojuan Li ● Ming Fai Liu ● Vincent S. F. T. Merckx ● Richard M. K. Saunders ● Dianxiang Zhang 1 Received: 9 July 2020 / Revised: 29 November 2020 / Accepted: 7 December 2020 / Published online: 6 January 2021 © The Author(s) 2021. This article is published with open access Abstract Mycoheterotrophic plants (MHPs) growing on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) usually maintain specialized mycorrhizal associations. The level of specificity varies between MHPs, although it remains largely unknown whether interactions with mycorrhizal fungi differ by plant lineage, species, and/or by population. Here, we investigate the mycorrhizal interactions among Burmannia species (Burmanniaceae) with different trophic modes using high-throughput DNA sequencing. We characterized the inter- and intraspecific dynamics of the fungal communities by assessing the composition and diversity of fungi among sites. We found that fully mycoheterotrophic species are more specialized in their 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: fungal associations than chlorophyllous species, and that this specialization possibly results from the gradual loss of some fungal groups. In particular, although many fungal species were shared by different Burmannia species, fully MHP species typically host species-specific fungal assemblages, suggesting that they have a preference for the selected fungi. Although no apparent cophylogenetic relationship was detected between fungi and plants, we observe that evolutionarily closely related plants tend to have a greater proportion of shared or closely related fungal partners. Our findings suggest a host preference and specialization toward fungal assemblages in Burmannia, improving understanding of interactions between MHPs and fungi.

    MISSISSIPPI NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM SPECIAL PLANTS - TRACKING LIST -2018- Approximately 3300 species of vascular plants (fern, gymnosperms, and angiosperms), and numerous non-vascular plants may be found in Mississippi. Many of these are quite common. Some, however, are known or suspected to occur in low numbers; these are designated as species of special concern, and are listed below. There are 495 special concern plants, which include 4 non- vascular plants, 28 ferns and fern allies, 4 gymnosperms, and 459 angiosperms 244 dicots and 215 monocots. An additional 100 species are designated “watch” status (see “Special Plants - Watch List”) with the potential of becoming species of special concern and include 2 fern and fern allies, 54 dicots and 44 monocots. This list is designated for the primary purposes of : 1) in environmental assessments, “flagging” of sensitive species that may be negatively affected by proposed actions; 2) determination of protection priorities of natural areas that contain such species; and 3) determination of priorities of inventory and protection for these plants, including the proposed listing of species for federal protection.
