Management Plan for the Climbing Prairie Rose 2013 PREFACE The federal, provincial, and territorial government signatories under the Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk (1996) agreed to establish complementary legislation and programs that provide for effective protection of species at risk throughout Canada. Under the Species at Risk Act (S.C. 2002, c.29) (SARA), the federal competent ministers are responsible for the preparation of management plans for listed species of special concern and are required to report on progress within five years. The Minister of the Environment is the competent minister under SARA for the management of the Climbing Prairie Rose and has prepared this management plan as per section 65 of SARA. It has been prepared in cooperation with the Government of Ontario. Success in the conservation of this species depends on the commitment and cooperation of many different constituencies that will be involved in implementing the directions set out in this plan and will not be achieved by Environment Canada, or any other jurisdiction alone. All Canadians are invited to join in supporting and implementing this plan for the benefit of the Climbing Prairie Rose and Canadian society as a whole. Implementation of this management plan is subject to appropriations, priorities, and budgetary constraints of the participating jurisdictions and organizations. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Earlier drafts of this management plan were prepared by Talena Kraus of Artemis Eco-Works, based on a previous draft prepared by Judith Jones of Winter Spider Eco-Consulting. Input from Jarmo Jalava (Consulting Ecologist), Allen Woodliffe (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources) and Dan Lebedyk (Essex Region Conservation Authority) are much appreciated. Development of this management plan was facilitated by Ken Tuininga and Christina Rohe (Environment Canada, Canadian Wildlife Service – Ontario). Contributions from Susan Humphrey, Lesley Dunn, Barbara Slezak, Madeline Austen and Rachel deCatanzaro (Environment Canada, Canadian Wildlife Service – Ontario) are also gratefully acknowledged. Acknowledgement and thanks is given to all other parties that provided advice and input used to help inform the development of this management plan including various Aboriginal organizations and individuals, individual citizens, and stakeholders who provided input and/or participated in consultation meetings. i Management Plan for the Climbing Prairie Rose 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Climbing Prairie Rose (Rosa setigera) is listed as Special Concern on both Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) and under the provincial Endangered Species Act, 2007 (ESA 2007). It is a robust shrub with climbing or arching branches and generally occurs in early successional open habitat. Climbing Prairie Rose has bright pink flowers appearing in late June through July. It is a dioecious species, meaning that male and female flowers occur on separate plants; a characteristic which is unusual for roses. The Climbing Prairie Rose occurs in the central United States of America and reaches the northern extent of its range in Canada. In Canada, this species is only found in the Carolinian region of southwestern Ontario; an area known for its long growing season and a climate moderated by the Great Lakes. In this region, the species is generally found in prairie remnants, open woods, shrub thickets, old fields and abandoned agricultural and urban land. The species is also found in more disturbed areas such as pastureland, hedgerows, drainage embankments, roadsides and ditch slopes where available. Threats identified to the Canadian population of Climbing Prairie Rose include, but are not limited to: housing and commercial development; intensive agricultural use; successional changes resulting from alterations in anthropogenic activities; unrestricted recreational use of all-terrain vehicles; exotic invasive species; and varietal introductions. The management objective is to maintain extant populations at their current abundance and distribution, and, to better document the abundance and distribution of this species in Canada. To achieve the management objective, four broad strategies are recommended: 1. Maintain suitable habitat for extant populations. 2. Determine the species’ distribution and abundance, and assess population viability. 3. Increase public awareness of the species and its habitat. 4. Fill knowledge gaps on the species. A number of conservation measures to achieve the management objective of this plan are proposed, none of which are expected to have any significant negative effect on the environment or other species. ii Management Plan for the Climbing Prairie Rose 2013 TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE ........................................................................................................................................ i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................................................... i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ............................................................................................................ ii 1.

    Responses of Plant Communities to Grazing in the Southwestern United States Department of Agriculture United States Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station Daniel G. Milchunas General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-169 April 2006 Milchunas, Daniel G. 2006. Responses of plant communities to grazing in the southwestern United States. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-169. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 126 p. Abstract Grazing by wild and domestic mammals can have small to large effects on plant communities, depend- ing on characteristics of the particular community and of the type and intensity of grazing. The broad objective of this report was to extensively review literature on the effects of grazing on 25 plant commu- nities of the southwestern U.S. in terms of plant species composition, aboveground primary productiv- ity, and root and soil attributes. Livestock grazing management and grazing systems are assessed, as are effects of small and large native mammals and feral species, when data are available. Emphasis is placed on the evolutionary history of grazing and productivity of the particular communities as deter- minants of response. After reviewing available studies for each community type, we compare changes in species composition with grazing among community types. Comparisons are also made between southwestern communities with a relatively short history of grazing and communities of the adjacent Great Plains with a long evolutionary history of grazing. Evidence for grazing as a factor in shifts from grasslands to shrublands is considered. An appendix outlines a new community classification system, which is followed in describing grazing impacts in prior sections.

  • Vegetation of the Floodplains and First Terraces of Rock Creek Near Red Lodge, Montana by Kenneth Eugene Tuinstra a Thesis Submi
    Vegetation of the floodplains and first terraces of Rock Creek near Red Lodge, Montana by Kenneth Eugene Tuinstra A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Botany Montana State University © Copyright by Kenneth Eugene Tuinstra (1967) Abstract: The floodplain vegetation of Rock Creek near Red Lodge, Montana was studied with a view to learning more about the relationship between riparian vegetation and trout habitat. The major objectives of the study were to: (1) qualitatively and quantitatively describe the vegetation, (2) delineate the successional stages and relate the sequence to soil and other environmental factors, and (3) compare two adjacent sections of floodplain, one essentially undisturbed and the other heavily grazed. The vascular plants occurring on the flood-plain and nearby land forms were collected. The vegetation was sampled with permanent plots within and belt transects across the floodplain. Soils were sampled at two levels and analyzed for several physical and chemical properties. The undisturbed vegetation of; the Rock Creek floodplain consists of several strata. • The tree stratum is composed nearly entirely of Populus trichocarpa. The tall shrub stratum has the following constituents: Cornus stolonifera, Salix sp., Prunus virginiana, Alnus incana, Betula occidentalis and Crataegus douglasii. Rosa acicularis, Symphoricarpos albus and Rubus idaeus are the most abundant taxa in the low shrub stratum. Characteristic herbaceous species occur under the woody vegetation, depending upon soil, water, light and the degree of disturbance. Five successional stages, from Pioneer Stage to Mature Forest, have been designated and their floristic compositions compared.

  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report
    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.
