Printed on recycled paper – month 2017 Final Land and Resource Management Plan DRAFTfor the Coconino National Forest Coconino, Gila, and Yavapai Counties, Arizona DRAFT Preface Preface This final land and resource management plan (also called the forest plan or plan) aims to promote responsible land management for the Coconino National Forest (Coconino NF) based on useful and current information and guidance. This plan replaces the previous forest plan, originally adopted in 1987. Land management planning guides the Forest Service in fulfilling its responsibilities for the stewardship of the Forest and to best meet the needs of the American people. This plan provides strategic guidance and information for project and activity decisionmaking on the Coconino NF for approximately the next 15 years. This plan was developed collaboratively and is the result of years of iterative discussions and feedback. Comments received were used to modify and refine the plan. Both the plan and the associated final environmental impact statement (FEIS) can be found electronicallyDRAFT on the Coconino NF website at: http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/coconino/landmanagement/planning/ Detailed assessments, evaluations, reports, and documents associated with development of the plan can also be viewed and downloaded from the Coconino NF Forest Plan Revision website.

  • APPROVED PLANT LIST Midtown Alliance Tree Well Adoption Program
    APPROVED PLANT LIST Midtown Alliance Tree Well Adoption Program Midtown Alliance launched the Tree Well Adoption program with the primary goal of enriching the experience of Midtown’s workers and residents while encouraging sustainability through the use of low-water, urban tolerant plant species. This list of plants was created to aid individuals and organizations in selecting plant material to plant in their adopted tree wells. This plant list is intended to encourage individual character in the tree wells, rather than restrict creativity in the selection of plants. The plants on the approved list were selected based on the following criteria: • Perennial. All plants listed are perennial, meaning they last for two or more growing seasons. Once established, these plants will require less water to maintain than annuals. • Heat tolerant. Plants in tree wells are exposed to high temperatures caused by vehicles and heat reflected from surrounding buildings, asphalt, and other urban surfaces. They must also be tolerant to high daytime temperatures, typical of Atlanta’s summer months, and cold hardy in the winter months. Atlanta is located in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7b/8a. • Water wise. Urban tree wells are surrounded by impervious surfaces and thus, are highly susceptible to periods of drought. Suitable plants must be able to survive periods of low rainfall. • Pollution tolerant. Vehicle exhaust may leave deposits and pollutants on plant foliage, which can kill sensitive plants. • Encourage wildlife. Flowering plants attract insects such as butterflies while others provide food sources for birds and other wildlife. • Grown locally. Many of the plants listed are native to the Atlanta area, and all can be found at local nurseries.

  • Two New Mahoberberis Hybrids
    ARNOLDIA A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 18 AYRIL 11, 1958 NUMBER 2 TWO NEW MAHOBERBERIS HYBRIDS new Mahoberberis hybrids have been growing in the Arnold Arboretum T4V0since 1948 when they were first obtained from Sweden. These are decidedly different, one from the other, but apparently both have possibilities as ornamen- tal broad-leaved evergreens in those northern areas where Mahonia aqufolium proves hardy. They have been growing out-of-doors during most of this period, without special winter protection. They have neither flowered nor fruited, but appear sufficiently interestmg for their foliage alone, to be a welcome addition to the all-too-small group of broad-leaved evergreens suitable for northern planting. It must be said that one of the parents, Malzonia aquifolizzm, though twig hardy in many northern gardens, does have foliage injury in late winter, especially if grown in the full winter sun, and such may also be the case with these two new hybrids. It is recommended that both of these be planted in situations where they have some winter shade. After further trials in various parts of the country, we will know more about their hardiness limits than we do at present. Mr. Holger Jensen of Ramlosa, Sweden, noticed these first in 1943 as new hybrid seedlings and reported them m a Swedish publication, but did not de- scribe them, and in 1948 sent over two small plants of each to the Arnold Arbo- retum for trial. In 1950, Mr. Gert Krussmann, Curator of the Dortmund- Briinninghausen Botanical Gardens in Germany, preva~led upon Mr.

  • Berberis Nevinii (Nevin's Barberry) 5-Year Review
    Berberis nevinii (Nevin’s barberry) 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation Photograph by Chris Wagner, SBNF. Used with permission. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife Office Carlsbad, CA August 14, 2009 2009 5-year Review for Berberis nevinii 5-YEAR REVIEW Berberis nevinii (Nevin’s barberry) I. GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-Year Reviews: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) to conduct a review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. Our original listing of a species as endangered or threatened is based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of a species. In the 5-year review, we consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed or last reviewed. If we recommend a change in listing status based on the results of the 5-year review, we must propose to do so through a separate rule-making process defined in the Act that includes public review and comment.

  • The Karpatian (Late Early Miocene) Flora of the Mecsek Area
    Acta Palaeobotanica 60(1), 51–122, 2020 e-ISSN 2082-0259 https://doi.org/10.35535/acpa-2020-0003 ISSN 0001-6594 The Karpatian (late early Miocene) flora of the Mecsek area LILLA HABLY Botanical Department, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1431 Budapest, P.O. box 137, Hungary; e-mail: [email protected] Received 9 September 2019; accepted for publication 28 January 2020 In remembrance of the beautiful summers spent collecting with my family in the Mecsek Mountains ABSTRACT. A rich macroflora has been collected from Karpatian (late early Miocene) layers of the Mecsek Mts during recent decades. The bulk of the fossil assemblage consists of leaves and also fruits of angiosperms. Among the more than a hundred taxa, several endemic species were described: Leguminocarpum mecsekense Andreánszky, Ailanthus mecsekensis Hably, Nyssa gyoergyi sp. nov., Nyssa gergoei sp. nov., Nyssa sp. 1, Clematis csabae sp. nov., Gordonia sp. and Carpolithes gergoei Hably et Erdei sp. nov. Many taxa were last recorded in the Carpathian Basin, e.g. Cedrelospermum, Ziziphus. Other taxa appeared in this flora, e.g. Quercus kubinyii, Podocarpium podocarpum, Liquidambar europaea and Populus populina, and later became dominant in the middle Miocene (Sarmatian) floras or even in the late Miocene (Pannonian) floras. Four main vegetation types were determined. The most significant types are subxerophytic vegetation showing high diversity, swamp veg- etation, riparian vegetation, and a vegetation type growing in habitats with higher rainfall. Thermophilous flora elements are dominant in the assemblage, although “arctotertiary” species also appear. The floristic character of the flora supports the results of an earlier quantitative climate analysis of the Magyaregregy flora, accord- ing to which mean annual temperature was 15.6–16.6°C and coldest-month and warmest-month temperatures were 5–6.2°C and 24.7–27.9°C, respectively.
