The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks.

  • A Recovery Strategy for Tall Bugbane (Cimicifuga Elata) in Canada
    A Recovery Strategy for Tall Bugbane (Cimicifuga elata) in Canada. Prepared by Brian Klinkenberg and Rose Klinkenberg for The Tall Bugbane Recovery Team and the BC Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection March 31, 2003 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cimicifuga elata is a rare herbaceous species in the Ranunculaceae that is endemic to the Pacific Northwest of North America, where it is presently known from Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. In Canada it is known only from the Chilliwack River Valley drainage in British Columbia. Throughout its range, it occurs in small numbers in scattered populations in mature or old-growth mixed forests dominated by red cedar-hemlock forest with associated big-leaf maple. It occurs predominantly on north-facing slopes, where it occupies mesic to wet mesic sites near creeks or seeps, sometimes in close proximity to Mountain Beaver. The biological factors that limit the prevalence of this species include its occurrence in Canada at the northern tip of its range (climatic factors), its natural rarity in the landscape throughout that range, its occurrence in small, isolated populations, the lack of genetic exchange between populations, pollinator dependence, herbivory, and limited dispersal mechanisms. Anthropogenic factors that influence its abundance in the landscape include fire suppression and forest management activities. In assessing the potential strategies for recovery for this species, we have considered the various ecological principles and issues that may apply, such as metapopulation dynamics, conservation genetics, the ecology of rarity, influences of herbivory and the effects of pollinator limitation. We have also considered the historical occurrence of the species, and the factors that have influenced its current distribution.

  • Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California
    Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California Volume 1 of 2 – Introduction, Methods, and Results Prepared by: California Department of Fish and Wildlife Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program California Native Plant Society Vegetation Program For: The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District The Sonoma County Water Agency Authors: Anne Klein, Todd Keeler-Wolf, and Julie Evens December 2015 ABSTRACT This report describes 118 alliances and 212 associations that are found in Sonoma County, California, comprising the most comprehensive local vegetation classification to date. The vegetation types were defined using a standardized classification approach consistent with the Survey of California Vegetation (SCV) and the United States National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) system. This floristic classification is the basis for an integrated, countywide vegetation map that the Sonoma County Vegetation Mapping and Lidar Program expects to complete in 2017. Ecologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the California Native Plant Society analyzed species data from 1149 field surveys collected in Sonoma County between 2001 and 2014. The data include 851 surveys collected in 2013 and 2014 through funding provided specifically for this classification effort. An additional 283 surveys that were conducted in adjacent counties are included in the analysis to provide a broader, regional understanding. A total of 34 tree-overstory, 28 shrubland, and 56 herbaceous alliances are described, with 69 tree-overstory, 51 shrubland, and 92 herbaceous associations. This report is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 (this volume) is composed of the project introduction, methods, and results. It includes a floristic key to all vegetation types, a table showing the full local classification nested within the USNVC hierarchy, and a crosswalk showing the relationship between this and other classification systems.

  • A Floristic Study of the Evergreen State College Campus Sam Lohmann June 12, 2006
    A Floristic Study of The Evergreen State College Campus Sam Lohmann June 12, 2006 INTRODUCTION This paper lists the vascular plants that occur on the campus of The Evergreen State College (TESC), and describes the nine principle plant communities of the campus. It is based on my field observations and collections during Spring Quarter of 2006, and also on the specimens housed in the TESC herbarium, collected by numerous workers since the mid-1970s. Pene Speaks’s “The Campus of The Evergreen State College: Soils and Vegetation” (1982) was also a useful resource, and my study is partially a revision and expansion of the floristic information in that article. I used Hitchock and Cronquist’s Flora of the Pacific Northwest (1973) for my identifications, and follow its nomenclature, except for revised family names. The paper follows a format adapted from Bowcutt (1999). It should be noted that this study is not exhaustive. It does not include the many cultivated plants on campus, except if they have naturalized. Although I made an effort to cover many trails and range widely and representatively over the campus, I did not have time to systematically cover the entire grounds. I did not concentrate on grasses or small weeds, and my study does not do full justice to the diversity of these groups on campus. In addition, there were some species collected on campus by other workers, whose presence I was not able to confirm in the field; this is noted in the plant list. Thus the plant list should be regarded as an introduction to the plants of the campus and a starting point for further floristic work, rather than as a complete, definitive catalog.
