We investigatedthe racial identity, distribution, and abundanceof WaterPipits (Anthusspinoletta) breeding in the mountainsof California.This commonnesting species of alpinetundra was not knownto breedin Californiauntil the 1970s;a reviewof historical evidencesuggests recent colonization. Mensural and plumagecomparisons show California populationsto be A. s. alticola, the breedingrace of the Rocky Mountains. This is of biogeographicalinterest, because the abundantwintering and migratorypipit of California is A. s. pacificus,while alticola normally occurshundreds of miles to the east.Water Pipits currentlynest in mesicalpine vegetation throughout much of the southernand centralSierra Nevada.Breeding densities are highestand mostuniform in the southernmostpart of this range.The only known breedingpopulation in California outsideof the Sierra Nevada occurson San Gorgonio Mountain in southernCalifornia. We hypothesizethat the previous absenceor rarity of breeding Water Pipits in the Sierra Nevada may be attributable to the most recentpaleoclimatic xerothermic period, the Hypsithermal(ca. 5,000 to 2,900 years BP), whichimuoverished many alnine biotasof arctic-oldcordilleran affinitv. Climate and habitat differencesmay prevenipa$cus from breedingin California, and geographicbarriers may have hindered colonization by alticola.

  • Individual Perspectives of the California Landscape
    INDIVIDUAL PERSPECTIVES OF THE CALIFORNIA LANDSCAPE A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Landscape Architecture By Cristina M. Plemel 2020 SIGNATURE PAGE PROJECT: INDIVIDUAL PERSPECTIVES OF THE CALIFORNIA LANDSCAPE AUTHOR: Cristina M. Plemel DATE SUBMITTED: Spring 2020 Department of Landscape Architecture Andrew Wilcox Project Committee Chair Professor and Department Chair Philip Pregill Project Committee Member Professor of Landscape Architecture Jared Pierce Project Committee Member Forest Landscape Architect Tahoe National Forest ii ABSTRACT This study took research participants on scenic hikes throughout California to understand landscape preferences utilizing participant photography. There were 8 hikes total and 16 participants. The hikes took place at the following locations: Abbott’s Lagoon in Point Reyes National Seashore, Vivian Creek Trail in the San Gorgonio Wilderness, Strawberry Peak and Mount Baden-Powell in the Angeles National Forest, Mosaic Canyon in Death Valley National Park, Abalone Cove Shoreline Park in Palos Verdes, the South Coast Botanic Garden in Palos Verdes, Loch Lomond in Santa Cruz County, and Mount San Jacinto State Park. Participants were given a disposable camera on each hike and asked to photograph the landscape. After the hikes, film was developed, and participants were emailed digital copies of their photographs and asked to explain why each photo was taken. The literature review has two sections. Part one has a focus on plant communities found in California, while part 2 has a focus on landscape preferences, perception, and scenic beauty of landscape. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS SIGNATURE PAGE .............................................................................................................. ii ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Proclamation 9396—Establishment of the Sand to Snow National Monument February 12, 2016
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Proclamation 9396—Establishment of the Sand to Snow National Monument February 12, 2016 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Sand to Snow area of southern California is an ecological and cultural treasure, a microcosm of the great geographic diversity of the region. Rising from the floor of the Sonoran Desert to the tallest peak in southern California, the area features a remarkable diversity of plant and animal species. The area includes a portion of the San Bernardino National Forest and connects this area with Joshua Tree National Park to the east, knitting together a mosaic of spectacular landscapes stretching over 200 miles. The mountain peaks of the Sand to Snow area frame the northeastern reach of Coachella Valley along with the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument to the south. Home to desert oases at Big Morongo Canyon and Whitewater Canyon, the area serves as a refuge for desert dwelling animals and a stopover for migrating birds. The archaeological riches of the Black Lava Buttes and the historical remains of mining and ranching communities tell of past prosperity and struggle in this arid land. The unbroken expanse is an invaluable treasure for our Nation and will continue to serve as an irreplaceable resource for archaeologists, geologists, and biologists for generations to come. The Sand to Snow area encompasses a rich diversity of geological and ecological resources, including a nearly 10,000-foot elevation gradient from the Sonoran Desert floor to the top of the 11,500-foot San Gorgonio Mountain, the highest mountain in southern California.
