  • A Second Annotated Checklist of Vascular Plants in Wells Gray Provincial Park and Vicinity, British Columbia, Canada
    A second annotated checklist of vascular plants in Wells Gray Provincial Park and vicinity, British Columbia, Canada Version 1: April, 2011 Curtis R. Björk1 and Trevor Goward2 ENLICHENED CONSULTING LTD. Box 131, Clearwater, BC, V0E 1N0, Canada [email protected], [email protected] Vascular Plants in Wells Gray SUMMARY Wells Gray Provincial Park is a vast wilderness preserve situated in the mountains and highlands of south-central British Columbia. The first major floristic study of the vascular plants of Wells Gray and its vicinity was published in 1965 by Leena Hämet-Ahti, who documented 550 taxa, including a first Canadian record of Carex praeceptorium. The present study contributes nearly 500 additional taxa documented by us between 1976 and 2010 in connection with our personal explorations of the Clearwater Valley. The vascular flora of Wells Gray Park and vicinity now stands at 1046 taxa, including 881 native species and 165 species introduced from Eurasia and other portions of British Columbia. Wells Gray Park is notable both for the presence of numerous taxa (45) at or near the northern limits of their range, as well as for an unexpectedly high number of taxa (43) accorded conservation status by the British Columbia Conservation Data Centre. Antennaria corymbosa has its only known Canadian locality within Wells Gray, while five additional species reported here are known in Canada from fewer than six localities. About a dozen unknown, possibly undescribed taxa have also been detected. Botanical inventory has thus far been confined to the southern portions of Wells Gray. Future studies in northern half of the park will certainly greatly increase our knowledge of the biological diversity safeguarded in this magnificent wilderness preserve.

  • A Vegetative Key to the Willows of Colorado: a Preponderance of the Evidence
    A Vegetative Key to the Willows of Colorado: A Preponderance of the Evidence A key of vegetative characteristics for mature (or fully expanded) leaves and twigs. These characteristics are highly variable. Look at several leaves and twigs on one shrub to get an overall feel (an average) for their size, shape, and color. Ignore stipules and leaves of sucker shoots. Stipules, cute miniature leaves that grow in pairs at the base of the leaf petiole, are common to all Salix species, and therefore do not aid in distinguishing among them. Sucker shoots are vigorous, non-flowering twigs that grow from the base of the shrub, and can have really huge leaves, far beyond the parameters listed here. While this key is based only on vegetative characters, distinguishing catkin characteristics are occasionally noted. Two catkin characteristics are useful even when the catkin is over mature: the stipe length and the catkin length. I often find catkins late in the season still dangling on the shrub, or lying on the ground underneath the shrub. Also Included here are: · Species descriptions (page 9) · List of willows by habitat (page 14) · Glossary (page 15) · References (Page 16). Nomenclature follows Dorn (1977, 1997). Synonyms listed are those found in commonly used keys to Colorado flora. Key to Groups 1. Trees. Either large shade trees or at least tall, single trunk (occasionally spilt into two) trees up 30 feet (10 meters), occurring on the eastern plains or in the lower parts of the western valleys, can occur in the foothills..................................................................................................... Group A 1. Shrubs. Usually multi-stemmed, if single trunk than diameter not more than 10 inches (5 cm).

In addition to fossils, the Monument also preserves a mosaic of 12 high desert and montane foothills vegetation types (Dorn et al. 1984; Jones 1993) and over 600 species of vertebrates and vascular plants (Beetle and Marlow 1974; Rado 1976, Clark 1977, Dorn et al. 1984; Kyte 2000). From a conservation perspective, Fossil Butte National Monument is especially significant because it is one of only two managed areas in the basins of southwestern Wyoming to be permanently protected and managed with an emphasis on maintaining biological processes (Merrill et al.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Flora of the Sierra Valley Region of Sierra and Plumas Counties, California
    Harnach, W. 2016. Annotated checklist of the flora of the Sierra Valley region of Sierra and Plumas counties, California. Phytoneuron 2016-13: 1–121. Published 17 February 2016. ISSN 2153 733X ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE FLORA OF THE SIERRA VALLEY REGION OF SIERRA AND PLUMAS COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA WILLIAM HARNACH P.O Box 28 Calpine, California 96124 [email protected] ABSTRACT The Sierra Valley region of California is unique in that three floristic zones converge in this mountain valley, the Sierra Nevada from the west, the Great Basin from the east, and to a slight degree the Cascade Range from the north. A checklist of the flora includes 93 families, 434 genera, and 1153 documented species; geographic ranges of another 125 species suggest that they also may occur in the area, for a total of 1278 species. Sierra Valley is a large mountain valley located east of the Sierra Nevada crest. The geology of this region is complex but in a simplistic form it is a down-faulted block basin (graben) filled with volcanic ash deposits and lake sediments, similar to Lake Tahoe in geologic origin. This has resulted in an inverted “L” shaped flat basin, with an average elevation of 4900 feet over an area of approximately 208 square miles. The entire checklist area is approximately 360 square miles. Figure 1. The Sierra Valley –– area covered by the checklist. General notes In 2007 I began to compile a list of plants found in the Sierra Valley region for the the 2008 Jepson Herbarium Workshop “The Flora of Sierra Valley,” which my wife and I lead.

  • Impact of DNA Marker Selection and Analysis of Temporal Patterns
    Assessing Belowground Plant Diversity in Wetland Soil through DNA Metabarcoding: Impact of DNA Marker Selection and Analysis of Temporal Patterns by Nicole Allison Fahner A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Nicole Fahner, December, 2015 ABSTRACT ASSESSING BELOWGROUND PLANT DIVERSITY IN WETLAND SOIL THROUGH DNA METABARCODING: IMPACT OF DNA MARKER SELECTION AND ANALYSIS OF TEMPORAL PATTERNS Nicole Allison Fahner Advisor: University of Guelph, 2015 Professor Mehrdad Hajibabaei This thesis is an investigation of the DNA metabarcoding approach to biodiversity assessment of vascular plant diversity. Specifically, the investigation focused on DNA metabarcoding of environmental DNA extracted from unsorted soil samples. There were two main research goals: to evaluate the suitability of four established DNA marker regions – matK, rbcL, ITS2, and the P6 loop of the trnL intron – for biodiversity assessment of vascular plants and to examine community turnover in total belowground vascular plant diversity. Based on the relative annotation, resolution and recovery ability of the DNA markers, rbcL and ITS2 were recommended for future biodiversity assessments. Annual variability in belowground diversity was consistent in magnitude with previous aboveground observations suggesting that accumulation of plant tissues is not a major restriction for soil-based biodiversity assessments. Finally, an interaction between DNA marker

As this was done over period of many years and because some of the handwritten cards were difficult to read some typographical errors may have been introduced. Complete standardization of the style of citation was not attempted. The original cards were discarded after transcription and proofreading. Key: [C] = A reprint, photocopy, or a note is available at the Canadian Museum of Nature, Botany Dvision. Diacritical marks: In searching for an author whose surname contains diacritical marks the first time such a name appears it is preceded by a name in parentheses without diacritical marks.
