Duckwitz Plant Materials Center Manager, USDA-NRCS, Bismarck John R. Hendrickson Research Rangeland Management Specialist, USDA-ARS, Mandan North Dakota State University Fargo, North Dakota June 2011 election of the appropriate species and variety is an important step in making a grass seeding successful. Grass species and varieties differ in growth habit, productivity, forage quality, drought resistance, tolerance Sto grazing, winter hardiness, seedling vigor, salinity tolerance and many other characteristics. Therefore, selection should be based on the climate, soils, intended use and the planned management. Planting a well-adapted selection also can provide long-term benefi ts and affect future productivity of the stand. This publication is designed to assist North Dakota producers and land managers in selecting perennial grass species and varieties for rangeland and pasture seeding and conservation planting. Each species is described following a list of recommended varieties Contents (releases). Variety origin and the date released are Introduction. 2 included for additional reference.

  • Eleocharis Rostellata (Torr.) Torr., Is an Obligate Wetland Graminoid Species (Reed 1988)
    United States Department of Agriculture Conservation Assessment Forest Service Rocky of the Beaked Spikerush Mountain Region Black Hills in the Black Hills National National Forest Custer, Forest, South Dakota and South Dakota May 2003 Wyoming Bruce T. Glisson Conservation Assessment of Beaked Spikerush in the Black Hills National Forest, South Dakota and Wyoming Bruce T. Glisson, Ph.D. 315 Matterhorn Drive Park City, UT 84098 Bruce T. Glisson is a botanist and ecologist with over 10 years of consulting experience, located in Park City, Utah. He has earned a B.S. in Biology from Towson State University, an M.S. in Public Health from the University of Utah, and a Ph.D. in Botany from Brigham Young University EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Beaked spikerush, Eleocharis rostellata (Torr.) Torr., is an obligate wetland graminoid species (Reed 1988). Beaked spikerush is widespread in the Americas from across southern Canada to northern Mexico, to the West Indies, the Caribbean, and the Andes of South America (Cronquist et al. 1994; Hitchcock et al. 1994). The species is secure throughout its range with a G5 ranking, but infrequent across most of the U.S., with Region 2 state rankings ranging from S1, critically imperiled; to S2, imperiled; to SR, reported (NatureServe 2001). Beaked spikerush is a “species of special concern” with the South Dakota Natural Heritage Program (Ode pers. comm. 2001). The only currently known population of beaked spikerush in South Dakota is in Fall River County, along Cascade Creek, an area where several other rare plant species occur. The beaked spikerush population is present on lands administered by Black Hills National Forest (BHNF), and on surrounding private lands, including the Whitney Preserve owned and managed by The Nature Conservancy (TNC).

  • Robson, Diana; Prairie Pollination: Implications for Restoration
    Dr. Diana Bizecki Robson Curator of Botany [email protected] Introduction Prairie restoration has focused on establishing: grass cover; plant species richness. Pollinator restoration has not received much attention. Sustainability of restored prairies is influenced by pollinator abundance. Financial limitations may mean that only a small number of species can be restored. Question: Which flowering species are most important to restore? Plant-pollinator structure Prairie plant-pollinator communities are nested. This means that: Most species interact with only a few others; A few generalist species (= “core” species) interact with many others. Generalists are essential for system functioning. Effective ecosystem restoration probably requires inclusion of these species. Pollination network Generalists Specialists (common) Plants (rare) © N.S. Fabina, 2013 Pollinators Research sites Field work at: Fescue prairies (FPP): NCC Elk Glen & Cleland; Crown land. Mixed grass prairie: NCC Yellow Quill Prairie FPP (YQPP).

In tracking populations of plant species of conservation concern (Missouri Natural Heritage Program, 2007), there are sometimes also boom years in the number of reports of new populations. Because of reports of five new populations and a surge in numbers of plants at some previously-known sites, 2007 provided encouraging news for the conservation of the auriculate false foxglove [Agalinis auriculata (Michx.) Blake] in Missouri.
