    Human impact on the vegetation of limestone cliffs in the northern Swiss Jura mountains Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Würde eines Doktors der Philosophie vorgelegt der Philosophisch - Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Basel von Stefan Müller aus Murgenthal AG Basel, Mai 2006 Genehmigt von der Philosophisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät auf Antrag von Prof. Dr. Bruno Baur Prof. Dr. Andreas Gigon Basel, den 23. Mai 2006 Prof. Dr. Hans-Jakob Wirz Dekan Table of contents Summary General Introduction Chapter 1: Rock climbing alters the vegetation of limestone cliffs in the northern Swiss Jura mountains Chapter 2: Effects of rock climbing on the plant community on exposed limestone cliffs of the Gerstelflue in the northern Swiss Jura mountains Chapter 3: Effect of rock climbing on the calcicolous lichen community of limestone cliffs in the northern Swiss Jura mountains Chapter 4: Effects of forestry practices on relict plant species on limestone cliffs in the northern Swiss Jura mountains Chapter 5: Spatial pattern of overgrowing forest around limestone cliffs in the northern Swiss Jura mountains Chapter 6: Nunatak survival and mediaeval human activity influence the genetic population structure of relict plant species in the northern Jura mountains Acknowledgements Curriculum vitae Summary Cliffs provide unique habitats for many specialised organisms, including chamaephytes and slowly growing trees. Drought, high temperature amplitude, scarcity of nutrients and high insolation are general characteristics of exposed limestone cliff faces. The vegetation of limestone cliffs in the Swiss Jura mountains consists of plants of arctic-alpine, continental and Mediterranean origin. Several populations exhibit relicts from post- or interglacial warm or cold climatic periods. Grazing goats and timber harvesting influenced the forests surrounding the limestone cliffs in northern Switzerland for many centuries.

The host range Zygophyllaceae, comprises a high biodiversity, its species of Hyaloperonospora nasturtii-aquatici, described from usually being highly host specific (e.g. Riethmüller et al.

There were comments on various issues related to the new NARGS website, not all complimentary, and then it turned to the Quarterly online and raised some points about which I would be very pleased to have your views. “The good news is that all the Quarterlies are online and can easily be dowloaded. The older issues are easy to read except for some rather pale type but this may be the result of scanning. There is amazing information in these older issues. The last three years of the Quarterly are also online but you must be a member to read them. These last issues are on Allen Press’s BrightCopy and I find them harder to read than a pdf file. Also the last issue of the Quarterly has 60 extra pages only available online. Personally I find this objectionable as I prefer all my content in a printed bulletin.” This raises two points: Readability of BrightCopy issues versus PDF issues Do you find the BrightCopy issues as good as the PDF issues? Inclusion of extra material in online editions only. Do you object to having extra material in the online edition which can not be included in the printed edition? Please take a moment to email me with your views Malcolm McGregor <[email protected]> CONTRIBUTORS All illustrations are by the authors of articles unless otherwise stated.

Square plot of 10m×10m size quadrat were laid for covering all forest areas and maintained minimum 40m distance between two quadrats. Altogether 68 plots (34 in each forest) were sampled. Both community forests had nearly same altitudinal range, aspect and slope but differed in different environmental variables and members of management committees. All the species present in quadrate and as well as outside the quadrate were recorded for analysis. There were 213 species of flowering plant belonging to 67 families and 182 genera. Barangdi-Kohal JM community forest had high species richness i.e. 176 species belonging to 64 families and 150 genera as compared to Bansa-Gopal WM community forest with 143 species belonging to 56 families and 129 genera. According to different life forms and family and genus wise jointly managed forest have high species richness than in women managed forest. Both community forests are banned for fodder, fuel wood and timber collection without permission of management comities. There is restriction of grazing in JM forest, whereas no restriction of grazing in WM forest.

  • Flowering Plants of South Norwood Country Park
    Flowering Plants Of South Norwood Country Park Robert Spencer Introduction South Norwood Country Park relative to its size contains a wide range habitats and as a result a diverse range of plants can be found growing on site. Some of these plants are very conspicuous, growing in great abundance and filling the park with splashes of bright colour with a white period in early May largely as a result of the Cow Parsley, this is followed later in the year by a pink period consisting of mainly Willow herbs. Other plants to be observed are common easily recognisable flowers. However there are a great number of plants growing at South Norwood Country Park that are less well-known or harder to spot, and the casual observer would likely be surprised to learn that 363 species of flowering plants have so far been recorded growing in the park though this number includes invasive species and garden escapes. This report is an update of a report made in 2006, and though the site has changed in the intervening years the management and fundamental nature of the park remains the same. Some plants have diminished and some have flourished and the high level of diversity is still present. Many of these plants are important to other wildlife particularly in their relationship to invertebrate pollinators, and some of these important interactions are referenced in this report. With so many species on the plant list there is a restriction on how much information is given for each species, with some particularly rare or previously observed but now absent plants not included though they appear in the index at the back of the report including when they were last observed.

  • Federico Selvi a Critical Checklist of the Vascular Flora of Tuscan Maremma
    Federico Selvi A critical checklist of the vascular flora of Tuscan Maremma (Grosseto province, Italy) Abstract Selvi, F.: A critical checklist of the vascular flora of Tuscan Maremma (Grosseto province, Italy). — Fl. Medit. 20: 47-139. 2010. — ISSN 1120-4052. The Tuscan Maremma is a historical region of central western Italy of remarkable ecological and landscape value, with a surface of about 4.420 km2 largely corresponding to the province of Grosseto. A critical inventory of the native and naturalized vascular plant species growing in this territory is here presented, based on over twenty years of author's collections and study of relevant herbarium materials and literature. The checklist includes 2.056 species and subspecies (excluding orchid hybrids), of which, however, 49 should be excluded, 67 need confirmation and 15 have most probably desappeared during the last century. Considering the 1.925 con- firmed taxa only, this area is home of about 25% of the Italian flora though representing only 1.5% of the national surface. The main phytogeographical features in terms of life-form distri- bution, chorological types, endemic species and taxa of particular conservation relevance are presented. Species not previously recorded from Tuscany are: Anthoxanthum ovatum Lag., Cardamine amporitana Sennen & Pau, Hieracium glaucinum Jord., H. maranzae (Murr & Zahn) Prain (H. neoplatyphyllum Gottschl.), H. murorum subsp. tenuiflorum (A.-T.) Schinz & R. Keller, H. vasconicum Martrin-Donos, Onobrychis arenaria (Kit.) DC., Typha domingensis (Pers.) Steud., Vicia loiseleurii (M. Bieb) Litv. and the exotic Oenothera speciosa Nutt. Key words: Flora, Phytogeography, Taxonomy, Tuscan Maremma. Introduction Inhabited by man since millennia and cradle of the Etruscan civilization, Maremma is a historical region of central-western Italy that stretches, in its broadest sense, from south- ern Tuscany to northern Latium in the provinces of Pisa, Livorno, Grosseto and Viterbo.
