Environmental Assessment for Listed Plant and Animal Species for the 15009 Cortez Blvd ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR LISTED PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES FOR THE 15009 CORTEZ BLVD. SITE 24 September 2018 by Donald Richardson, Ph.D. Ecological Consultants, Inc. 5121 Ehrlich Road, Suite 103A Tampa, Florida 33624 INTRODUCTION The proposed storage facility located at 15009 Cortez Blvd. is a partially developed site in Hernando County, Florida (TRS:27/18/26). The site is borderd on the south by Cortez Blvd., on the north by Recarda Lane, on the east Oakado Street and on the west by commercial properties (Figure 1). This report represents an environmental assessment of the existing flora and fauna within the Cortez site with special reference to all listed species that may have some protection with the federal, state or local agencies. SOILS The 4+ acre site supports one soil type as follows: 1. Chandler fine sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes (#14) – This is a nearly level to gently sloping, excessively drained soil on the uplands. This soil has a very low available water capacity in the upper 48 inches and soil fertility is low. The water table is below a depth of 80 inches. The native vegetation consists of Bluejack oak, post oak, and turkey oaks; and scattered longleaf and slash pines; and a sparse understory of Indian grass, chalky bluestem, pineland three awn, panicum and annual forbs. VEGETATION The western half of the site has been historically cleared of most of the sandhill vegetation for commercial use (FLUCCS #141) in contrast to the eastern half which is relatively undisturbed longleaf pine-turkey oak uplands (FLUCCS #412). Turkey Oak Sandhill The eastern half of the site Turkey Oak Sandhills that are maturing due to fire suppression. The overstory is dominated by a nearly closed canopy of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), live oak (Quercus virginiana), turkey oak (Quercus laevis), and bluejack oak (Quercus incana). Other subcanopy species include cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), red cedar (Juniperus silicicola), laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), and Carolina laurel cherry (Prunus caroliniana). The shrub layer is sparse due to the low light levels but supports beauty berry (Callicarpa americana), sumac (Rhus copallinum), huckleberry (Vaccinium myrsinites), and pawpaw (Asimina obovata). The ground cover is restricted to gaps in the canopy or along the sunny edges of the forest. The most common species include wiregrass (Aristida beyrichiana), broomsedge grass (Andropogon virginicus), gopher apple (Licania michauxii), greeneyes (Berlandiera subacaulis), wild grape (Vitis munsoniana), bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), ground lichens, foxtail grass (Setaria geniculata), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), blue curls (Trichostema dichotomum), yellow jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens), Adams needle (Yucca filamentosa), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), beggar’s tick (Bidens alba), red top panicum (Panicum rigidulum) silkgrass (Pityopsis graminifolia), ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) and others. Commercial Development The western half of the site was cleared of the native vegetation except for isolated longleaf pines and has been periodically mowed. The most common species includes bahia grass (Paspalum notatum), Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), St. Augustine grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum), beggar’s tick, ragweed, dogfennel, chick weed (Drymaria cordata), wild grape (Vitis munsoniana), Mexican clover (Richardia brasiliensis), nutsedge (Cyperus retrorsus), Virginia creeper, crow’s foot grass (Dactyloctenium aegyptium), sand spur (Cyperus incertus), camphor weed (Heterotheca subaxillaris), bracken fern, musky mint (Hyptis alata), tickseed (Coreopsis leavenworthii), dayflower (Commelina diffusa), ragweed, and others. LISTED ANIMAL SPECIES Based on previous studies of animal populations within sandhills and disturbed sites, a gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) survey was conducted for the entire site. Here, we report the preliminary findings of field investigation conducted in September 2018 for all listed animal species. During the field survey of the vegetation, all gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) burrows were located and mapped within the project boundaries (Figure 2). One inactive gopher tortoise burrow was located in the northern third of the undeveloped portion of the site (Table 1). Active burrows were identified by the presence of tracks, cleared openings or recently excavated soil. Inactive burrows usually showed no signs of soil excavation and were frequently littered with fallen leaves and other debris. Abandoned burrows were often caved-in or covered with leaves with no signs of activity. Table 1. GPS coordinates for the inactive gopher tortoise burrow. Burrow #/activity GPS burrow Coordinates (long/lat) #1/IN 280 32’06.58” N 820 28’53.38” W Since gopher tortoises utilize more than one burrow, estimates of abundance were based on a multiplier of 0.5 x active and inactive burrows (Auffenberg and Franz 1982). If we assume that the multiplier is an accurate estimate of tortoise populations throughout Florida, 1 burrow represents an estimated population of 0.5 or 1 gopher tortoise. The relocation of 1 gopher tortoise would require a relocation permit from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). Other burrow commensals such as the gopher frog (Rana areolata) and eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon corais couper) as well as the Florida scrub lizard were also looked for at the time of the gopher tortoise study, but no additional animals were observed. LISTED PLANT SPECIES No protected plant species were observed for this site. OBSERVED ANIMAL SPECIES During the current survey of the site, several animal species were observed in the sandhill/disturbed grasslands as follows: Mammals Nine banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) Birds Red shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) Cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) Ground dove (Columbina passerina) Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) Mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) Other Vertebrates Green anole (Anolis carolinensis) Black racer (Coluber constrictor priapus) SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The vegetation is a mixture of cleared lands as part of past development of the site and longleaf pine-turkey oak sandhills. Most of the undisturbed sandhill vegetation is maturing into Oak /Pine forests due to fire suppression. 2. During the filed survey of the vegetation, one inactive gopher tortoise burrow was located in the north-central portion of the eastern half of the site. The relocation of 1 gopher tortoise to an approved mitigation site would require a relocation permit from FWC prior to any land clearing activities or demo of the site. No listed plant species were observed. 3. The development of this site will have minimal affect on resident or local wildlife that may utilize the site. Figure 1.

    GUIDE TO PLANT COLLECTION AND IDENTIFICATION by Jane M. Bowles PhD Originally prepared for a workshop in Plant Identification for the Ministry of Natural Resources in 1982. Edited and revised for the UWO Herbarium Workshop in Plant Collection and Identification, 2004 © Jane M. Bowles, 2004 -0- CHAPTER 1 THE NAMES OF PLANTS The history of plant nomenclature: Humans have always had a need to classify objects in the world about them. It is the only means they have of acquiring and passing on knowledge. The need to recognize and describe plants has always been especially important because of their use for food and medicinal purposes. The commonest, showiest or most useful plants were given common names, but usually these names varied from country to country and often from district to district. Scholars and herbalists knew the plants by a long, descriptive, Latin sentence. For example Cladonia rangiferina, the common "Reindeer Moss", was described as Muscus coralloides perforatum (The perforated, coral-like moss). Not only was this system unwieldy, but it too varied from user to user and with the use of the plant. In the late 16th century, Casper Bauhin devised a system of using just two names for each plant, but it was not universally adopted until the Swedish naturalist, Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) set about methodically classifying and naming the whole of the natural world. The names of plants: In 1753, Linnaeus published his "Species Plantarum". The modern names of nearly all plants date from this work or obey the conventions laid down in it. The scientific name for an organism consists of two words: i) the genus or generic name, ii) the specific epithet.

  • June 2015 Hello Everyone. One Again We Had a Great Trip to Francis Marion National Forest
    June 2015 Hello everyone. One again we had a great trip to Francis Marion National Forest. Just like last year, we combined our trip with the annual Hell Hole reptile and amphibian survey. SCAN members that participated include Phil Harpootlian, Kitty Beverly, Bill Hamel, Marsha and Bob Hamlin, Greg Ross, Pat and Jerry Bright, Gene Ott, Mary Douglass, Tom Jones, Kim McManus, Paul Kalbach, and Gordon Murphy. We all gathered at the primitive campground on Hell Hole Road. Win Ott did a quick show-and-tell with some of the snakes that he and Gene had already caught and gave us the opportunity to hold and photograph them. After Kim’s introduction to the various options for the day, which included road cruising for herps and exploring a nearby isolated wetland system, we split up and headed off in different directions. I can’t speak to the success that the road-cruisers had, but Kitty, Bill, and I headed for the wetland system. The isolated wetland was only a couple of miles from the campsite, as the crow flies, but it was quite a drive to get to it. Along the way we found an eastern kingsnake on the shoulder of Yellow Jacket Road. Once at the wetland, which was dominated by cypress and tupelo, we saw a few birds including a great blue heron and an anhinga. We only had a short time at the wetland because we wanted to get back to the campsite around noon to see some snakes that Jeff Holmes and his research staff had caught earlier in the week.

    Article An Updated Infrageneric Classification of the North American Oaks (Quercus Subgenus Quercus): Review of the Contribution of Phylogenomic Data to Biogeography and Species Diversity Paul S. Manos 1,* and Andrew L. Hipp 2 1 Department of Biology, Duke University, 330 Bio Sci Bldg, Durham, NC 27708, USA 2 The Morton Arboretum, Center for Tree Science, 4100 Illinois 53, Lisle, IL 60532, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The oak flora of North America north of Mexico is both phylogenetically diverse and species-rich, including 92 species placed in five sections of subgenus Quercus, the oak clade centered on the Americas. Despite phylogenetic and taxonomic progress on the genus over the past 45 years, classification of species at the subsectional level remains unchanged since the early treatments by WL Trelease, AA Camus, and CH Muller. In recent work, we used a RAD-seq based phylogeny including 250 species sampled from throughout the Americas and Eurasia to reconstruct the timing and biogeography of the North American oak radiation. This work demonstrates that the North American oak flora comprises mostly regional species radiations with limited phylogenetic affinities to Mexican clades, and two sister group connections to Eurasia. Using this framework, we describe the regional patterns of oak diversity within North America and formally classify 62 species into nine major North American subsections within sections Lobatae (the red oaks) and Quercus (the Citation: Manos, P.S.; Hipp, A.L.

  • Age and Stand Structure of Old-Growth Oak in Florida High Pine
    AGE AND STAND STRUCTURE OF OLD-GROWTH OAK IN FLORIDA HIGH PINE Cathryn H. Greenberg u.s. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Bent Creek Research and Demonstration Forest, 1577 Brevard Road, Asheville, NC 28806 Robert W. Simons 1122 SW 11th Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32601 ABSTRACT We sampled stand and age structure of 4 high pine sites composed of old-growth sand post oak (Quercus margaretta) and turkey oak (Quercus laevis), and young longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), in north and central peninsular Florida. The oldest turkey oak sampled was 123 years old, and the oldest sand post oak was 230 years old. Turkey oak exhibited the greatest variation in diameter at breast height relative to age. The median age of rotten and/or hollow trees was 63 years for turkey oak and 105 years for sand post oak. Age reconstruction indicates that in 1900 minimum oak tree density ranged from 10-60 trees per hectare among sites. This study demonstrates that sandhill oak trees were historically an integral component of at least some phases of the high pine ecosystem. These data support the hypothesis that spatial patchiness and variability in fire frequency, season, and intensity historically permitted oaks to reach and maintain tree size in varying densities over time and across the high pine landscape.

Genus Quercus comes from the Latin name for “oak” and is formed from two Celtic words: quer meaning “beautiful” and cuez meaning “tree.” Species The genus name laevis stems from the Latin word for “smooth, slippery, or polished,” and it refers to the nearly hairless leaves that remain after most pubescence has sloughed off by late season. Common Names Figure 1. Leaf of Quercus laevis showing the fall colors.

  • We Sampled Tree Age, Species Composition, and Stand Structure of Four High Pine Sites Composed of Old-Growth Sand Post Oak (Q
    ABSTRACT: We sampled tree age, species composition, and stand structure of four high pine sites composed of old-growth sand post oak (Q. margaretta Ashe), old-growth turkey oak (Quercus Zaevis Walt.), and young longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) in north and central peninsular Florida. The oldest turkey oak sampled was 123 years old, and the oldest sand post oak was 230 years old. Turkey oak exhibited the greatest diameter variation in relation to age. The median number of rings found in rotten and/or hollow turkey oaks was 63 and the corresponding number for sand post oak was 105. Age reconstruction indicated that in 1900 minimum oak tree (2 5 cm diameter at breast height) density ranged from 10 to 60 trees ha-’ among sites. This study demonstrates that sandhill oak trees historically were an integral component of at least some phases of the high pine ecosystem. These data support the hypothesis that spatial patchiness and variability in fire frequency, season, and intensity historically permitted oaks to reach and maintain tree size in varying densities over time and across the high pine landscape.
