Without Insects, Plants Would be Boring By Dr. Michael Wall The diversity of flower shapes, colors, and sizes inspires gardeners, artists, and wedding planners around the world. Similarly, the diverse and variable chemistry of plants creates the flavors and aromas that inspire chefs and perfumers. The love-hate relationship that insects have with plants drives this diversity. Floral aroma and color attract pollinators to help plants reproduce, and the pungency of some of your favorite herbs evolved as feeding deterrents.

    3.7 Biological Resources

    3.7 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This section identifies major plant and animal resources within the City’s Planning Area and assesses the potential impacts of the proposed General Plan on biological resources with the understanding that certain resources, especially wildlife, are transitory and may potentially be present in a wide variety of areas regardless of previous records of observation. The City’s Planning Area consists of its incorporated boundaries and adopted Sphere of Influence (SOI). The County’s Planning Area consists of unincorporated land within the One Valley One Vision (OVOV) Planning Area boundaries that is located outside the City’s boundaries and the adopted SOI. The City and the County Planning Areas together comprise the OVOV Planning Area. A substantial portion of the area within the City has been developed. Species within the remaining natural areas are adapted to the Mediterranean climate of the region, in that they thrive in the cool, wet winters, and dry, hot summers typical of the area. Within the City boundaries, these areas include the Santa Clara River through the City; and portions of San Francisquito Canyon, Sand Canyon, Whitney Canyon, and Placerita Canyon. The major natural features of the City’s adopted SOI include the Liebre Mountains south of the National Forest boundary, including Cruzan Mesa and portions of Tick Canyon, Mint Canyon, Bouquet Canyon and San Francisquito Canyon; and the San Gabriel Mountains north of the National Forest boundary, including portions of Sand Canyon and

    Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Rare Plant Monitoring Review and Revision

    Management Strategic Plan (MSP) 2014 Monitoring Protocol for Rare Plant Occurrences on Conserved Lands in Western San Diego County Prepared by San Diego Management and Monitoring Program (SDMMP), 3-11-14 Introduction A Management Strategic Plan (MSP) has been developed for western San Diego County to provide a biological-based foundation to support decision making and funding priorities for managing species and vegetation communities on Conserved Lands (San Diego Management and Monitoring Program 2013). There is a gap in our knowledge of the current status of many rare plant populations in the MSP area (MSPA) and an even greater deficit in our knowledge of the specific threats faced by each occurrence. In 2014 and 2015, a top priority of the MSP is to obtain rare plant status and threat data across the MSPA in order to identify needed management actions and to prioritize regional funding for management over the remainder of the five year planning horizon. MSP Rare Plant Objectives to Conduct Baseline Surveys and Inspect and Manage Occurrences (IMG) In 2014 and 2015, a MSP objective is to inspect rare plant occurrences and to conduct routine management (IMG). The objective is to survey existing occurrences for 17 species (see Appendix A) to document their status and assess threats in order to develop specific management recommendations. Surveys for these species will be implemented by a combination of land managers and contracted biologists in coordination with the San Diego Management and Monitoring Program (SDMMP). Fifteen additional species are also scheduled in 2014-15 to be monitored as part of regionally funded projects to establish baseline data, develop monitoring protocols, and to conduct management (Appendix A).

    Santa Ana Mountains Tecate Cypress (Cupressus Forbesii) Management Plan

    Final Santa Ana Mountains Tecate Cypress (Cupressus forbesii) Management Plan Prepared by: Susana Rodriguez-Buritica & Katharine Suding University of California, Berkeley Department of Environmental Sciences, Policy, and Management Berkeley, CA 94720 & Kristine Preston Nature Reserve of Orange County 15600 Sand Canyon Avenue Irvine, CA 92618 Prepared for: California Department of Fish and Game 4949 Viewridge Avenue San Diego, CA 92123 Contract # P0750005 01 & Nature Reserve of Orange County May 17, 2010 Santa Ana Mountains Tecate Cypress Management Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Orange County’s Central and Coastal Natural Community Conservation Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan (NCCP/HCP) was established in 1996 to conserve sensitive plant and animal species on approximately 37,000 acres. Tecate cypress (Cupressus forbesii) is a rare endemic species restricted to several locations in southern California and northern Baja California. The northern most population of Tecate cypress occurs in the Santa Ana Mountains within the NCCP/HCP Central Reserve and receives regulatory coverage under the Plan. This population is threatened by too frequent wildfire. The Nature Reserve of Orange County (NROC) oversees monitoring and management of species within the NCCP/HCP and formed the Tecate Cypress Management Committee (TCMC) to develop a management plan for this species. The committee is composed of land owners, land managers and regulatory agencies with an interest in conserving Tecate cypress in the NCCP/HCP. This management plan was developed by NROC based upon the work of researchers from UC Berkeley and input from the TCMC. The objectives of this management plan included determining the current distribution and demographic structure of the Santa Ana Mountains Tecate cypress population and using this data in ecological models to assess threats to persistence and to identify restoration sites for enhancing the population.
