  • Conifer Communities of the Santa Cruz Mountains and Interpretive
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA CRUZ CALIFORNIA CONIFERS: CONIFER COMMUNITIES OF THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS AND INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE FOR THE UCSC ARBORETUM AND BOTANIC GARDEN A senior internship project in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of BACHELOR OF ARTS in ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES by Erika Lougee December 2019 ADVISOR(S): Karen Holl, Environmental Studies; Brett Hall, UCSC Arboretum ABSTRACT: There are 52 species of conifers native to the state of California, 14 of which are endemic to the state, far more than any other state or region of its size. There are eight species of coniferous trees native to the Santa Cruz Mountains, but most people can only name a few. For my senior internship I made a set of ten interpretive signs to be installed in front of California native conifers at the UCSC Arboretum and wrote an associated paper describing the coniferous forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Signs were made using the Arboretum’s laser engraver and contain identification and collection information, habitat, associated species, where to see local stands, and a fun fact or two. While the physical signs remain a more accessible, kid-friendly format, the paper, which will be available on the Arboretum website, will be more scientific with more detailed information. The paper will summarize information on each of the eight conifers native to the Santa Cruz Mountains including localized range, ecology, associated species, and topics pertaining to the species in current literature. KEYWORDS: Santa Cruz, California native plants, plant communities, vegetation types, conifers, gymnosperms, environmental interpretation, UCSC Arboretum and Botanic Garden I claim the copyright to this document but give permission for the Environmental Studies department at UCSC to share it with the UCSC community.

Trees, shrubs and sub-shrubs likely to be encountered on sample transects, Channel Islands National Park, California 4 Shrubs and trees should respond to the cessation of grazing in several ways: with increased canopy growth, additional stem production, and for certain species, with seedling recruitment. Therefore, the method for monitoring these changes will record canopy coverage, stem density, plant size and recruitment. Additionally, conservation strategies written for the islands (Coonan et al 1996) identify litter accumulation as an important process for seed bank development and eventual community recovery.

  • Parker Flats Prescribed Burn 2015 Report 4-25-2016
    The Parker Flats Prescribed Burn: 10th Year Post-fire Vegetation Recovery in 2015. Lars Pierce, Ian Harlan, John Inman, and Manual Casanova Division of Science & Environmental Policy, California State University Monterey Bay, 100 Campus Center, Seaside, CA 93955. March 2016 Abstract In 2000, vegetation in the 150-acre Parker Flats Parcel on Fort Ord was cleared of vegetation in order to remove unexploded ordnance. Subsequent vegetation regrowth from 2000-2005 favored plant species that are able to regenerate from below-ground buds (resprouters). There was little to no regrowth of special-status plant species that regenerate solely from seed following fire (obligate seeders). In order to improve the suitability of the Parcel as maritime chaparral habitat preserve, the Ft. Ord CRMP Group decided to burn the Parcel in 2005, with the goal of stimulating the germination and regrowth of these fire-adapted, obligate seeders from seedbank. To enhance combustion of the 5-yr old vegetation, we applied three fuel treatments prior to burning (cutting, crushing, and chaining) across twenty-four ½ acre plots (eight replicates). An additional twelve ½ acre plots were left untreated to act as controls in burned and unburned areas of Parker Flats. We have measured the cover and density of the plants at Parker Flats prior to and following the 2005 prescribed burn at 1-, 2-, 5-, and now 10-yr intervals (Pierce et al., 2004; 2005; 2006; 2007, 2010). Here we report on the 10th-year of post-fire vegetation recovery at Parker Flats in 2015. From 2010 to 2015, the cover of native plants in maritime chaparral at Parker Flats was little changed (83% in 2010 vs.

  • Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California
    Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California Volume 1 of 2 – Introduction, Methods, and Results Prepared by: California Department of Fish and Wildlife Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program California Native Plant Society Vegetation Program For: The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District The Sonoma County Water Agency Authors: Anne Klein, Todd Keeler-Wolf, and Julie Evens December 2015 ABSTRACT This report describes 118 alliances and 212 associations that are found in Sonoma County, California, comprising the most comprehensive local vegetation classification to date. The vegetation types were defined using a standardized classification approach consistent with the Survey of California Vegetation (SCV) and the United States National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) system. This floristic classification is the basis for an integrated, countywide vegetation map that the Sonoma County Vegetation Mapping and Lidar Program expects to complete in 2017. Ecologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the California Native Plant Society analyzed species data from 1149 field surveys collected in Sonoma County between 2001 and 2014. The data include 851 surveys collected in 2013 and 2014 through funding provided specifically for this classification effort. An additional 283 surveys that were conducted in adjacent counties are included in the analysis to provide a broader, regional understanding. A total of 34 tree-overstory, 28 shrubland, and 56 herbaceous alliances are described, with 69 tree-overstory, 51 shrubland, and 92 herbaceous associations. This report is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 (this volume) is composed of the project introduction, methods, and results. It includes a floristic key to all vegetation types, a table showing the full local classification nested within the USNVC hierarchy, and a crosswalk showing the relationship between this and other classification systems.
