  • Sanionia Uncinata and Salix Polaris As Bioindicators of Trace Element Pollution in the High Arctic: a Case Study at Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen, Norway
    Polar Biology (2019) 42:1287–1297 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00300-019-02517-0 ORIGINAL PAPER Sanionia uncinata and Salix polaris as bioindicators of trace element pollution in the High Arctic: a case study at Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen, Norway Bronisław Wojtuń1 · Ludmiła Polechońska1 · Paweł Pech1 · Kinga Mielcarska1 · Aleksandra Samecka‑Cymerman1 · Wojciech Szymański2 · Maria Kolon1 · Marcin Kopeć1 · Kornelia Stadnik1 · Alexander J. Kempers3 Received: 27 August 2018 / Revised: 27 May 2019 / Accepted: 8 June 2019 / Published online: 19 June 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Longyearbyen (Spitsbergen) is infuenced by local contamination sources, such as exhausts from power plants, trafc, coal mines, and industrial waste dumps subject to weathering, which threatens soil and living organisms. Therefore, the trace element level in this area needs to be evaluated. The moss Sanionia uncinata and prostrate dwarf-shrub Salix polaris were collected as contamination indicators. Concentrations of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in these species were measured. The tested hypotheses were: in Longyearbyen and its vicinity (1) the moss S. uncinata and the willow S. polaris may be used as phytoaccumulators and therefore as bioindicators and bioremediators of certain trace elements; (2) the moss S. uncinata contains higher concentrations of metals than the willow S. polaris. The soil of Longyearbyen was contaminated with Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn. The willow S. polaris may be used in phytoaccumulation and therefore in the bioremedia- tion and bioindication of Cd and Zn from its environment. Stems of S. polaris from Longyearbyen are better bioindicators of Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, and Pb and poorer bioindicators of Cd, Mn, and Zn than leaves of this species.

  • Nova Scotia Provincial Status Report on Hoary Willow Salix Candida
    i Nova Scotia Provincial Status Report on Hoary Willow Salix candida Flűeggé ex Willd. prepared for The Nova Scotia Species at Risk Working Group by Ruth E. Newell E.C. Smith Herbarium K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre Acadia University Wolfville, Nova Scotia B4P 2R6 Funding provided by the Nova Scotia Species at Risk Conservation Fund Submitted December 16th, 2010 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Wildlife Species Description and Significance Salix candida (Hoary Willow) is a low, deciduous, dioecious shrub, densely white woolly on current season’s twigs and lower leaf surfaces. The mature medial leaves are narrowly elliptic or oblanceolate, usually at least 4x as long as wide. Leaf margins are entire and slightly to strongly rolled under. Flowering occurs concurrently with leaf emergence. Female flowers have stalks 0.1 to 1.2 mm long and tomentose pistils. The anthers of male flowers are purple later changing to yellow. The fruit is a tomentose, pear-shaped capsule. Reproduction is both sexual and asexual by layering. Salix candida is an extremely rare species in Nova Scotia occurring in a rare habitat type i.e., rich, calcareous fens or marshes. Distribution In Nova Scotia, Hoary Willow occurs within the Black River system at the northwest end of Lake Ainslie, Inverness County, Cape Breton Island. Here it is known from four rich calcareous fens in close proximity to the river floodplain plus a single plant in a calcareous graminoid marsh. Field work failed to confirm the presence of Salix candida in Huntington, Cape Breton County - a record based on a herbarium specimen from Cape Breton University herbarium.

  • Survey and Analysis of Plant Community Types of Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park
    Survey and Analysis of Plant Community Types of Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park Survey and Analysis of Plant Community Types of Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park FINAL REPORT Prepared for Alberta Sustainable Resource Development Resource Data Branch Edmonton, Alberta Prepared by Wildlands Ecological Consulting Ltd. #60 Neal Close, Red Deer, AB T4P 1N4 Office: (403) 346-1057 Fax: (403) 346-3257 March 29, 2004 ABSTRACT Identification and monitoring of biological diversity in Alberta is the primary mandate of Alberta Natural Heritage Information Centre (ANHIC). A fundamental strategy in the preservation of functional ecosystems is to identify and preserve a full compliment of habitat types, which in return support a diversity of animals, plants, and other life forms. Vegetation is an integral component of habitat and provides a relatively easy means of inventory and monitoring of ecosystem health both spatially and temporally. The current study, in Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park, focuses on the identification of unique riparian and coulee plant associations, or plant community type. The study area is situated approximately 8 km north of the USA border and 40 km east of the town of Milk River and occurs at the interface between the Mixedgrass and Dry Mixedgrass Natural Subregions. Priority research is currently required to address gaps in the identification, description and distribution of plant associations within the coulee and riparian zones of these Subregions. Many of these communities recur over the landscape but may occur as very small patches of 1m2 or less. Alberta Sustainable Resource Development (ASRD) Resource Data Division contracted Wildlands Ecological to complete an inventory of natural/semi-natural plant communities, statistically analyse the data, and describe potential plant community or association types.
