POSEY* and JAMES F. GOGGANS Department of Forestry THERE HAS BEEN considerable interest in growing Cupressus (cypress) in the Southeast for several years. The Agricultural Experiment Station, Auburn University, was the first institution in the Southeast to initiate work on the cy- presses in 1937, and since that time many states have introduced Cupressus in hope of finding a species suitable for Christmas tree production. In most cases seed for trial plantings were obtained from commercial dealers without reference to seed source or form of parent tree. Many plantings yielded a high proportion of columnar-shaped trees not suitable for the Christmas tree market. It is probable that seed used in Alabama and other Southeastern States came from only a few trees of a given geo- graphic source.

  • Subalpine Meadows of Mount Rainier • an Elevational Zone Just Below Timberline but Above the Reach of More Or Less Continuous Tree Or Shrub Cover

Forest and Plant Communities of Mt Rainier • The zones show regular patterns that result in “associations” of certain shrubs and herbs relating to the dominant, climax tree species. • The nature of the understory vegetation is largely determined by the amount of moisture available and the microclimates that exist. Forest Zones of Mt Rainier • Western Hemlock Zone – below 3,000 ft • Silver Fir Zone – between 2,500 and 4,700 ft • Mountain Hemlock Zone – above 4,000 ft Since most of the field trips will start above 4,000 ft we will only discuss plants found in the Mountain Hemlock Zone and above. This zone includes the Sub-Alpine and Alpine Plant communities.

  • NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012
    NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012 Hansen's Northwest Native Plant Database www.nwplants.com Foreword Once upon a time, there was a very kind older gentleman who loved native plants. He lived in the Pacific northwest, so plants from this area were his focus. As a young lad, his grandfather showed him flowers and bushes and trees, the sweet taste of huckleberries and strawberries, the smell of Giant Sequoias, Incense Cedars, Junipers, pines and fir trees. He saw hummingbirds poking Honeysuckles and Columbines. He wandered the woods and discovered trillium. When he grew up, he still loved native plants--they were his passion. He built a garden of natives and then built a nursery so he could grow lots of plants and teach gardeners about them. He knew that alien plants and hybrids did not usually live peacefully with natives. In fact, most of them are fierce enemies, not well behaved, indeed, they crowd out and overtake natives. He wanted to share his information so he built a website. It had a front page, a page of plants on sale, and a page on how to plant natives. But he wanted more, lots more. So he asked for help. I volunteered and he began describing what he wanted his website to do, what it should look like, what it should say. He shared with me his dream of making his website so full of information, so inspiring, so educational that it would be the most important source of native plant lore on the internet, serving the entire world.

In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line.

  • Developing Computational Tools for Evolutionary Inferences in Polyploids
    Developing Computational Tools for Evolutionary Inferences in Polyploids Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul David Blischak, B.Sc. Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Andrea D. Wolfe, Advisor Bryan C. Carstens John V. Freudenstein Laura S. Kubatko © Copyright by Paul David Blischak 2018 Abstract Methods for generating genome-scale data sets are facilitating the inference of phyloge- netic relationships in non-model taxa across the Tree of Life. However, rapid speciation and heterogeneous patterns of diversification make this task difficult when gene trees have conflicting histories (e.g., from incomplete lineage sorting). For plant species in particular, additional complications arise due to the intermixing of divergent lineages through hybridization and the subsequent occurrence of whole genome duplication (WGD; i.e., allopolyploidy). Investigations regarding the evolutionary history of re- cently formed polyploids and their diploid progenitors are difficult to conduct because of problems with resolving ambiguous genotypes in the polyploids as well as analyzing species with different ploidies. The focus of my dissertation has been to develop models and bioinformatic tools for analyzing high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data collected in non-model taxa of different ploidy levels to estimate phylogenetic relationships. I am applying these tools in the plant genus Penstemon (Plantaginaceae) to infer the relationships in two groups of closely related species containing diploids, tetraploids, and hexaploids. The first chapter of my dissertation uses HTS data and a hierarchical Bayesian framework to estimate biallelic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes and allele frequencies in populations of any ploidy level (diploid or higher) assuming Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
