  • Reference Plant List
    APPENDIX J NATIVE & INVASIVE PLANT LIST The following tables capture the referenced plants, native and invasive species, found throughout this document. The Wildlife Action Plan Team elected to only use common names for plants to improve the readability, particular for the general reader. However, common names can create confusion for a variety of reasons. Common names can change from region-to-region; one common name can refer to more than one species; and common names have a way of changing over time. For example, there are two widespread species of greasewood in Nevada, and numerous species of sagebrush. In everyday conversation generic common names usually work well. But if you are considering management activities, landscape restoration or the habitat needs of a particular wildlife species, the need to differentiate between plant species and even subspecies suddenly takes on critical importance. This appendix provides the reader with a cross reference between the common plant names used in this document’s text, and the scientific names that link common names to the precise species to which writers referenced. With regards to invasive plants, all species listed under the Nevada Revised Statute 555 (NRS 555) as a “Noxious Weed” will be notated, within the larger table, as such. A noxious weed is a plant that has been designated by the state as a “species of plant which is, or is likely to be, detrimental or destructive and difficult to control or eradicate” (NRS 555.05). To assist the reader, we also included a separate table detailing the noxious weeds, category level (A, B, or C), and the typical habitats that these species invade.

  • Nr 222 Native Tree, Shrub, & Herbaceous Plant
    NR 222 NATIVE TREE, SHRUB, & HERBACEOUS PLANT IDENTIFICATION BY RONALD L. ALVES FALL 2014 NR 222 by Ronald L. Alves Note to Students NOTE TO STUDENTS: THIS DOCUMENT IS INCOMPLETE WITH OMISSIONS, ERRORS, AND OTHER ITEMS OF INCOMPETANCY. AS YOU MAKE USE OF IT NOTE THESE TRANSGRESSIONS SO THAT THEY MAY BE CORRECTED AND YOU WILL RECEIVE A CLEAN COPY BY THE END OF TIME OR THE SEMESTER, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST!! THANKING YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE THAT YOU MAY GIVE, RON ALVES. Introduction This manual was initially created by Harold Whaley an MJC Agriculture and Natural Resources instruction from 1964 – 1992. The manual was designed as a resource for a native tree and shrub identification course, Natural Resources 222 that was one of the required courses for all forestry and natural resource majors at the college. The course and the supporting manual were aimed almost exclusively for forestry and related majors. In addition to NR 222 being taught by professor Whaley, it has also been taught by Homer Bowen (MJC 19xx -), Marlies Boyd (MJC 199X – present), Richard Nimphius (MJC 1980 – 2006) and currently Ron Alves (MJC 1974 – 2004). Each instructor put their own particular emphasis and style on the course but it was always oriented toward forestry students until 2006. The lack of forestry majors as a result of the Agriculture Department not having a full time forestry instructor to recruit students and articulate with industry has resulted in a transformation of the NR 222 course. The clientele not only includes forestry major, but also landscape designers, environmental horticulture majors, nursery people, environmental science majors, and people interested in transforming their home and business landscapes to a more natural venue.

Baker Approved by the Master's Thesis Corrunittee V~+J~.Jr, Chairman ~;'J.~''c \. (l .:, r---- (I'. J~!-\ Approved by the Graduate Dean ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS An ethnobotanical study necessitates the cooperation of individuals who among themselves have a wide range of diverse interests. Dr. James Payne Smith, Jr., Professor of Botany was the chief coordinator of this unity as well as my princi- pal advisor and editor. Most of the botanical related prob- lems and many grammatical questions were discussed with him. Torn Nelson, Herbarium Assistant of the HSU Herbarium, aided in the identification of many plant specimens. Dr. Jim Waters, Professor of Zoology, dealt with cor- rections concerning his field, and discerningly and meticu- lously proofread the entire text. From the formal field of ethnology, Dr. Pat Wenger, Professor of Anthropolo~y, worked with me on problems in linguistics, phonetics, and other aspects of ethnography. He also discussed with me many definitions, theories, and atti- tudes of modern ethnologists. The field work would not have been possible without the help of Torn Parsons, Director of the Center for Community Development, Arcata, California. Mr. Parsons has been work- ing with the Tolowa, Karok, and Yurok for many years and was able to introduce me to reliable and authentic sources of cultural information.

  • RIBES (GROSSULARIACEAE) POLLINATION in NORTHERN CALIFORNIA: STRONG OVERLAP in VISITOR ASSEMBLAGES DESPITE FLORAL DIVERSITY by Ja
    RIBES (GROSSULARIACEAE) POLLINATION IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA: STRONG OVERLAP IN VISITOR ASSEMBLAGES DESPITE FLORAL DIVERSITY By Jade Paget-Seekins A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Biology Committee Membership Dr. Michael Mesler, Committee Chair Dr. Erik Jules Dr. John Reiss Dr. Paul Wilson Dr. Michael Mesler, Graduate Coordinator December, 2012 ABSTRACT RIBES (GROSSULARIACEAE) POLLINATION IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA: STRONG OVERLAP IN VISITOR ASSEMBLAGES DESPITE FLORAL DIVERSITY Jade Paget-Seekins The genus Ribes displays extensive floral diversity. The pollinator shift model suggests that such diversity is an outcome of species shifting to specialize on new pollinators. To test this model, I surveyed the flower visitors of 14 Ribes species at 44 sites in northern California and southern Oregon. Visits to sympatric species in other genera were also counted at each site. For purposes of analysis, visitors were placed into one of ten functionally equivalent groups. Ribes species were chosen to maximize differences in flower size and form; ten floral traits were measured for each species to characterize these differences. Ordination and correlation approaches were used to compare visitor assemblages, both within and between species, as well as to examine the match between differences in flower morphology and visitor assemblages. I found only weak support for the pollinator shift model. Despite the marked differences between Ribes flowers, most of the 14 species were visited primarily by bees. In general, differences in floral morphology were poor predictors of differences in visitor assemblage, but flower depth and width were both correlated with the ordination of species in visitor space.

  • Currants and Gooseberries Ribes Species Saxifragaceae
    Currants and gooseberries Currants and Gooseberries Ribes species Saxifragaceae Rex M. Brennan Scottish Crop Research Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5DA INTRODUCTION Ribes species, Saxifragaceae, are found throughout the temperate regions of Europe and North America, although species are also found in South America (notably Chile), Asia and northwest Africa. The genus consists of about 150 species, all shrubs or small bushes, spined or non-spined, and new species have been reported from South and Central America and parts of Asia in recent years. The range of habitats and plant types that comprise the genus shows considerable complexity and diversity. The species used for commercial fruit productions include blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.), predominantly used for processing and valued for its high levels of ascorbic acid, red currant (R. sativum and related species), and gooseberry (R. grossularia and related species). The Ribes crops have been used as both foods and medicines for centuries. The crops are diverse, covering a range of fruit types and colors, and their production methods range from intensive large-scale mechanized farms for blackcurrant (Fig. 1) to small areas of hand-picked bushes for both redcurrant and gooseberry. Besides these three main crop types, there are also jostaberries, which are hybrids between R. nigrum and gooseberry species R. grossularia and R. divaricatum, designated R. × nidigrolaria (Bauer, 1986), which are grown predominantly for self-pick operations. In addition to food uses, several species such as R. alpinum, R. aureum, R. roezlii (Fig. 2), R. sanguineum and R. speciosum have ornamental and landscape value, due to their ornate flowers and in some cases colored fruit.
