Trophic Resource Use and Partitioning in Multispecies Ungulate Communities
Trophic resource use and partitioning in multispecies ungulate communities Robert Spitzer Faculty of Forest Sciences Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Environmental Studies Umeå Doctoral thesis Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Umeå 2019 Acta Universitatis agriculturae Sueciae 2019:73 Cover: Annual diet composition of deer in Sweden (artworK: R.

This has raised concerns about their impacts, particularly on shared resources with humans, e.g., timber trees. Understanding how different ungulate species use trophic resources is therefore a crucial component of managing their populations. In this thesis, I synthesized data from the literature and used faecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate diets and patterns of resource partitioning for ungulate communities in Sweden and at the European scale. I also evaluated the reliability of dung morphometry for identifying ungulate species. I found that species identification of faecal pellets is difficult where similar-sized ungulates coexist which questions the reliability of pellet counts as a monitoring technique in such systems. Dung morphometry could, however, clearly distinguish moose from the smaller deer species. Across Europe, average diets of the four main deer species fit well with predictions by Hofmann’s hypothesis of ruminant feeding types. Red and fallow deer (mixed feeders) showed larger dietary plasticity than moose and roe deer (browsers).

Extensive Vegitative Roof Plant List
Recommended Plant List for Extensive Vegetated Roofs Fairfax County, Virginia February 1, 2007 RECOMMENDED PLANT LIST FOR EXTENSIVE VEGETATED ROOFS – Fairfax County, Virginia The following list of plants for extensive vegetated roofs was developed by staff from the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services (Storm Water Planning Division and Urban Forest Management Division). It is a “recommended” list of plants for use in extensive vegetated roofs. These plants were chosen because they are known to perform well in our area in growing medium depths of about four inches. The list is not exhaustive and is intended to give the designer a palette of plant materials to choose from. Other species may be used, and the acceptability of proposed plant materials is subject to review and approval by the Director. This plant list may be updated periodically to reflect other species that have been shown to perform well in extensive vegetated roofs in our area. Design guidelines for vegetated roofs can be found in the Public Facilities Manual § 6-1310. KEY: • Light: The amount of sunlight a plant requires is defined as: o Full sun 5, the site is in direct sunlight for at least six hours daily during the growing season. o Partial shade , the site receives approximately three to six hours of direct sunlight or lightly filtered light throughout the day. o Shade , the site receives less than three hours of direct sunlight or heavily dappled light throughout the day. • Moisture: The amount of soil moisture a plant requires is defined as: o Dry (D), areas where water does not remain after a rain; supplemental watering will not be needed, except under the most extreme drought conditions.

Naturalized in North America
Phytotaxa 175 (1): 019–028 ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2014 Magnolia Press Article ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.175.1.2 A taxonomic study of Sedum series Rupestria (Crassulaceae) naturalized in North America LORENZO GALLO1 & PETER F. ZIKA2 1 Strada Val San Martino sup. 194. 10131, Torino, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] 2 WTU Herbarium, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-5325, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Sedum rupestre L. and its close relatives (Sedum series Rupestria) are native to Europe. Adventive populations in North America were studied both in the field and the herbaria. Our results exclude S. rupestre L. and include recognition of two additional taxa on the continent, which are distinguished with keys and illustrations: Sedum forsterianum documented as a naturalized species in the United States, from Washington, and in British Columbia, Canada and Sedum thartii, naturalized in Colorado, Maine, Ohio, Oregon, Washington and Ontario, Canada. A lectotype is established for S. forsterianum. Key words: Alien, stonecrop, typification Introduction The genus Sedum Linnaeus (1753: 430) is widespread in Europe, Africa, Asia and America and includes roughly 400 to 475 taxa according to the most recent authors (Eggli et al. 1995, ‘t Hart & Bleij 2003, Thiede & Eggli 2007, Ohba 2009). Berger (1930) devised an infrafamilial classification of the Crassulaceae. Within the genus Sedum he recognised “Sektion 17” (Sedum proper, his “Seda genuina”) and, inside it, several “Reihen” or series. The “Reihe” 20 group of Sedum is now known as Sedum series Rupestria (Berger 1930: 456), a monophyletic and well delimited group endemic to the Euro-Mediterranean region, including 17 among species, subspecies and natural hybrids (Hart ‘t 1994, Hart ‘t & Bleij 2003, Gallo 2009, 2012).

2021 Introductions Catalog
2021 Introductions Catalog 10702 Seaman Road • Hebron, IL 60034 • USA TEL: (815) 648-2788 TOLL FREE: (800) 648-2788 www.intrinsicperennialgardens.com January 2021 Despite the challenges of 2020, we had one of our best years. We continue to focus our attention on the plants we have found to be durable and valuable in the garden. 2021 will be my 30th year growing perennials. Here some of my favorite new introductions. Allium x ‘Big Beauty’ PPAF is showy right from spring emergence. Wide gray-green foliage is substantial followed by 18-24” stems in July. Silvery buds open to soft pink 2”+ flower heads.Lobelia cardinalis ‘Pink Flame’ is a pink twist on the normally red cardinal flower. This new seed strain is vigorous, growing 3’- 4’ tall. Ideal conditions are moist yet drained soil. Monarda bradburiana ‘Midnight Oil’ PPAF is an exceptionally vigorous and disease-free selection. Chocolatey-red new growth remains clean of foliar diseases. Same soft pink flowers with wine red spots in June on 18” tall and wide plants. Rudbeckia x ‘Sweet as Honey’ PPAF is a new look in black eyed susans. Many small yellow flowers are held on upright stems over extra thin basal foliage. It is a perfect companion with short grasses. Rudbeckia x ‘American Gold Rush’ continues to be our top seller. We have two new grass introductions. Andropogon gerardii ‘Holy Smoke’ PPAF has silvered gray foliage with nearly constant smoky purple to red highlights adding a constant complexity to it. It is very nice paired with Echinacea. One of our most exciting grass intros, Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Pure Energy’ PPAF, is a wide blade, gold foliage fountain grass.

EXPANDING the PLANT PALETTE for GREEN ROOFS by Drew
EXPANDING THE PLANT PALETTE FOR GREEN ROOFS By Drew Anthony Vandegrift A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Horticulture – Master of Science 2018 ABSTRACT EXPANDING THE PLANT PALETTE FOR GREEN ROOFS By Drew Anthony Vandegrift Fifty-four percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas and this number continues to grow (United Nations, 2014). Dense development along with the accompanying increase in impervious surfaces can have harmful effects on humans, wildlife, and the earth. Green infrastructure such as green roofs can improve urban areas by introducing plant life to otherwise barren rooftops, thus reducing the negative impact humans may have on the environment. While green roofs are a historically old practice, they are relatively new to North America. Because of their novelty, we are still developing best management practices and discovering what plants are best suited to rooftop environments. If the green roof industry is to grow, the list of suitable plant species must be expanded and this information must be disseminated to green roof practitioners and the general public. Because climate differs from one region to the next, data on plant performance for each climatic region is needed to properly specify green roofs within that region. A rooftop experiment was conducted on the Molecular Plant Sciences Building at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, USA, to test the suitability of several succulents, herbaceous perennials, and grasses in varying depths of green roof substrate over a seven-year period. Forty-five percent of the species were no longer preset on the roof by the end of the study.
