This is the second largest family in the flora area after Asteraceae. A total of 97 taxa in 46 genera of grasses are included in this publication, which includes ones established and reproducing in the modern flora (86 taxa in 43 genera), some occurring at the margins of the flora area or no long known from the area, and ice age fossils. At least 28 taxa are known by fossils recovered from packrat middens, five of which have not been found in the modern flora: little barley ( Hordeum pusillum ), cliff muhly ( Muhlenbergia polycaulis ), Paspalum sp., mutton bluegrass ( Poa fendleriana ), and bulb panic grass ( Zuloagaea bulbosa ). Non-native grasses are represented by 27 species, or 28% of the modern grass flora.

  • 3 Invasive Species in the Sonoran Desert Region

    3 Invasive Species in the Sonoran Desert Region

    3 Invasive Species in the Sonoran Desert Region 11 INVASIVE SPECIES IN THE SONORAN DESERT REGION Invasive species are altering the ecosystems of the Sonoran Desert Region. Native plants have been displaced resulting in radically different habitats and food for wildlife. Species like red brome and buffelgrass have become dense enough in many areas to carry fire in the late spring and early summer. Sonoran Desert plants such as saguaros, palo verdes and many others are not fire- adapted and do not survive these fires. The number of non-native species tends to be lowest in natural areas of the Sonoran Desert and highest in the most disturbed and degraded habitats. However, species that are unusually aggressive and well adapted do invade natural areas. In the mid 1900’s, there were approximately 146 non-native plant species (5.7% of the total flora) in the Sonoran Desert. Now non-natives comprise nearly 10% of the Sonoran Desert flora overall. In highly disturbed areas, the majority of species are frequently non-native invasives. These numbers continue to increase. It is crucial that we monitor, control, and eradicate invasive species that are already here. We must also consider the various vectors of dispersal for invasive species that have not yet arrived in Arizona, but are likely to be here in the near future. Early detection and reporting is vital to prevent the spread of existing invasives and keep other invasives from arriving and establishing. This is the premise of the INVADERS of the Sonoran Desert Region program at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

  • Germination Patterns of a Suite of Semiarid Grassland Forbs from Central New Mexico

    Germination Patterns of a Suite of Semiarid Grassland Forbs from Central New Mexico

    REFEREED RESEARCH Germination patterns of a suite of semiarid grassland forbs from central New Mexico Rosemary L Pendleton and Burton K Pendleton ABSTRACT We examined the germination response of 21 forb species collected from semiarid grasslands of central New Mexico. After-ripened seeds were subjected to 1 of 3 treat - ments: 1) no treatment; 2) a 3-wk stratification at 5 °C (cold-moist treatment); or 3) a 3-wk warm-moist treatment at 30 °C. All seeds were incubated under an alternating 10/20 °C temperature regime for 6 wk following treatment. Temperature regime had a significant effect on 13 of the 21 species. Twelve species responded positively to the warm-moist treatment, germinating during or following 3 wk at 30 °C. Six species were largely nondormant, germinating under all 3 treatment regimes, and 5 species did not germinate to an appreciable degree under any of the 3 treatment regimes. Ten species responded negatively to the 3-wk stratification, and in only one case was germination slightly improved by the 3-wk stratification. A subsequent 12- wk stratification treatment did, however, increase germination for 3 of the 5 dormant species. These results indicate that, while some species may require stratification, many southwestern grassland forbs are adapted to the combination of moisture and temperature associated with a monsoonal regime, that is, a warm-moist period. Sum - mer, rather than fall, sowing is recommended as it will provide the benefit of dor - mancy-breaking dry heat followed by warm-moist conditions of the July to Septem - ber monsoon.

    ‘Hachita’ blue grama Bouteloua gracilis (Willd. ex Kunth) Lag. ex Griffiths A Conservation Plant Release by USDA NRCS Los Lunas Plant Materials Center Conservation Uses Hachita blue grama is a good ground cover and provides valuable protection from soil erosion. Because Hachita blue grama is more drought resistant than other varieties of blue grama, it is well-suited for rangeland improvement, mine-spoil reclamation, and roadside stabilization in the semiarid Southwest. It makes excellent pasture or lawngrass. It requires less water than traditional turfgrasses. Area of Adaptation and Use Blue grama is widely-distributed throughout the Americas. It is found at elevations of 1,000 to 7,000 feet from Canada, south through Mexico and into South America. Hachita blue grama is climatically adapted to areas of southeastern Utah, northeastern Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas and the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma, where blue grama is recommended at elevations of 3,000 to 7,500 feet.

Executive Summary This survey was a continuation of several years of rare plant survey on San Juan Public Lands. Funding for the project was provided by San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management. Previous rare plant surveys on San Juan Public Lands by CNHP were conducted in conjunction with county wide surveys of La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan and San Miguel counties, with partial funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO); and in 2004, public lands only in Dolores and Montezuma counties, funded entirely by the San Juan Public Lands. Funding for 2005 was again provided by San Juan Public Lands. The primary emphases for field work in 2005 were: 1. revisit and update information on rare plant occurrences of agency sensitive species in the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database that were last observed prior to 2000, in order to have the most current information available for informing the revision of the Resource Management Plan for the San Juan Public Lands (BLM and San Juan National Forest); 2.

Abstract Mauto (Lysiloma divaricatum (Jacq.) J. F. Macbr.; Fabaceae) is a thornless, arborescent legume that is abundant in tropical dry forests in northwestern Mexico. To test whether mauto allometry may be used as an indicator of cattle grazing pressure, we compared plant height, canopy cover, and basal trunk diameter between an area where cattle had been excluded for 12 years with an area under continuous heavy cattle grazing.
