XVI. LIST OF COMMON AND SCIENTIFIC NAMES Listed below are the scientific and common names of all species identified in the text. The scientific name is usually provided (parenthetically) at the first usage of the common name; subsequently, the common name alone is used throughout the text. Scientific names are presented in taxonomic groupings to the Order, except for the Monera and Fungi, which are presented only by Phylum. Within Order, scientific names are presented alphabetically. The taxonomies were obtained from the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (U.S. Department of Agriculture et al., 2005), the National Plant Data Center (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2005), the National Biological Information Infrastructure (U.S. Geological Survey, 2006), and the Systema Naturae 2000 (Brands, 2005).

    Coastal Landscaping in Massachusetts Plant List

    Coastal Landscaping in Massachusetts Plant List This PDF document provides additional information to supplement the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Coastal Landscaping website. The plants listed below are good choices for the rugged coastal conditions of Massachusetts. The Coastal Beach Plant List, Coastal Dune Plant List, and Coastal Bank Plant List give recommended species for each specified location (some species overlap because they thrive in various conditions). Photos and descriptions of selected species can be found on the following pages: • Grasses and Perennials • Shrubs and Groundcovers • Trees CZM recommends using native plants wherever possible. The vast majority of the plants listed below are native (which, for purposes of this fact sheet, means they occur naturally in eastern Massachusetts). Certain non-native species with specific coastal landscaping advantages that are not known to be invasive have also been listed. These plants are labeled “not native,” and their state or country of origin is provided. (See definitions for native plant species and non-native plant species at the end of this fact sheet.) Coastal Beach Plant List Plant List for Sheltered Intertidal Areas Sheltered intertidal areas (between the low-tide and high-tide line) of beach, marsh, and even rocky environments are home to particular plant species that can tolerate extreme fluctuations in water, salinity, and temperature. The following plants are appropriate for these conditions along the Massachusetts coast. Black Grass (Juncus gerardii) native Marsh Elder (Iva frutescens) native Saltmarsh Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) native Saltmeadow Cordgrass (Spartina patens) native Sea Lavender (Limonium carolinianum or nashii) native Spike Grass (Distichlis spicata) native Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) native Plant List for a Dry Beach Dry beach areas are home to plants that can tolerate wind, wind-blown sand, salt spray, and regular interaction with waves and flood waters.

    California Wildlife Habitat Relationships System California Department of Fish and Wildlife California Interagency Wildlife Task Group LESSER NIGHTHAWK Chordeiles acutipennis Family: CAPRIMULGIDAE Order: CAPRIMULGIFORMES Class: AVES B275 Written by: M. Green Reviewed by: L. Mewaldt Edited by: D. Winkler, R. Duke DISTRIBUTION, ABUNDANCE, AND SEASONALITY An uncommon summer resident in arid lowlands, primarily in desert scrub, desert succulent shrub, desert wash, and alkali desert scrub habitats. Also forages over grasslands, desert riparian, and other habitats with high densities of flying insects. Occurs north in the Sacramento Valley to Tehama Co. (Grinnell and Miller 1944) and southern Shasta Co., and to lower Mono Co. east of the Sierra Nevada (McCaskie et al. 1979). More common in desert areas of southeastern California. Casual in winter mostly in southeastern deserts. Transients sometimes noted on the Channel Islands in spring and summer, and rare in spring on Farallon Islands (DeSante and Ainley 1980). SPECIFIC HABITAT REQUIREMENTS Feeding: Feeds on insects, which it hawks on long, low flights over open areas. Also makes short flights from the ground in the manner of a common poorwill (Bent 1940). Cover: Nests and roosts on bare sand and gravel surfaces; desert floor, along washes; sometimes uses levees and dikes for nesting. Forages over grasslands, open riparian areas, agricultural lands, and similar open habitats where insects thrive. Reproduction: Nests in the open on gravelly or sandy substrate. Also uses dikes and levees for nesting. Water: May drink while skimming over water surface (Bent 1940). Pattern: Undisturbed gravel or sand surface for roosting and nesting; open lowlands, riparian areas, agricultural fields, or other insect-rich areas for foraging.

    The Effect of Invasive Earthworm Lumbricus terrestris on the Distribution of Nitrogen in Soil Profile Sarah Adelson, Christine Doman, Gillian Golembiewski, Luke Middleton University of Michigan Biological Station, Spring 2009 Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine if Lumbricus terrestris, an invasive earthworm in Northern Michigan, is redistributing nitrogen from the organic soil layer to the deeper, mineral soil layer. L. terrestris burrow 2 meters vertically into the ground and emerge to feed on freshly fallen leaf litter. The study included collecting of L. terrestris in 16 0.5 m square plots by method of electro-shock. Soil cores from a depth of 0-5 and 30-40 cm as well as leaf litter were taken from each plot to determine nitrogen content and nitrogen isotope ratios. Data analysis resulted in no significance between plots with earthworms and without earthworms in both nitrogen, N, isotope ratios and N content. Plots with L. terrestris showed no difference between the organic and mineral soil layer. This result suggests that L. terrestris are homogenizing soil layers. However, smaller than ideal sample sizes limit interpretive capacity of the results. Further research needs to be completed to confirm these perceived trends. The analysis of nitrogen isotope ratios suggest that there is another source of 15N other than leaf litter and L. terrestris that is contributing to soil composition and therefore the contribution of each was not conclusively determined. Introduction Invasion of an exotic species into an ecosystem is one of the leading threats to biologically diverse ecosystems throughout the world. Exotic species are initially introduced as a solution for food, farming, aesthetic purposes, or even accidentally.

    ine nachhaltige, multifunktionale Forstwirtschaft hat den Anspruch, Wälder so zu pfl egen und zu nutzen, dass deren Produktivität, Verjüngungsfähigkeit, EVitalität und biologische Vielfalt erhalten bleiben. In der Vergangenheit hat sich Band 7 Band 7 Göttinger Forstwissenschaften gezeigt, dass weder im Kielwasser der Rohholzerzeugung noch in jenem des Naturschutzes alle Waldfunktionen angemessen erfüllt werden.

    Master Gardener Corner: Hardy Hibiscus Originally Run Week of September 5, 2017

    This article is part of a weekly series published in the Batavia Daily News by Jan Beglinger, Agriculture Outreach Coordinator for CCE of Genesee County. Master Gardener Corner: Hardy Hibiscus Originally run week of September 5, 2017 Looking for a plant to add some color and bling to the late summer garden? Check out hardy hibiscus which is blooming now. The dinner plate size blooms bring a dramatic effect to the garden. Some of the new varieties, like ‘Midnight Marvel’ or ‘Kopper King,’ have reddish foliage for even more garden interest. Hardy hibiscus will also help attract hummingbirds and butterflies to your garden. The hibiscus family can be a bit confusing but they can generally be divided into four groups: hardy hibiscus, rose of Sharon, tropical hibiscus and all the other Hibiscus species. Hardy hibiscus usually refers to any of the North American native species (Hibiscus moscheutos, H. coccineus, H. dasycalyx, H. grandiflorus, H. laevis, and H. lasiocarpos and H. aculeatus). The native species tend to grow in or near marshes or swamps but they are tolerant to fluctuations in soil moisture. Flowers last for a single day with bloom colors varying from pure white, scarlet rose, lavender and shades of pink. The best known wild species is probably H. moscheutos commonly known as swamp rose mallow. It grows wild in wetland swamps from Ontario to Massachusetts and south to Florida, and west to Wisconsin and Tex as. It is hardy from USDA Zones 5 to 8. The shrubby plants have multiple upright stems growing up to 8 feet tall with a spread of 3 to 4 feet.

    125 BOOK REVIEW 2007 - #1 Crum, Howard. Mosses of the Great Lakes Forest. Fourth Edition. 2004. viii + 592 pages; introduction; dichotomous keys; illustrations; taxonomic descriptions; black and white photographs; glossary; index to Latin names. University of Michigan Herbarium, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Hard Cover. ISBN: 0-9620733-6-3. Price: US $40.00. Available from University of Michigan Herbarium, Publications, 3600 Varsity Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108-2287. The highly respected bryologist, Howard Crum, died in April 2002 before he could com- plete the fourth edition of his important and useful set of manuals entitled Mosses of the Great Lakes Forest (1973, 1976, and 1983). But fortunately and thankfully, William C. Buck and Christiane Anderson took on the task of editing and seeing Crum’s beautiful fourth edition to completion. Although the title, Mosses of the Great Lakes Forest, indicates a regional moss flora, the manual has a much broader application and can serve as an effective introductory taxo- nomic manual for the identification of mosses in the northeastern United States. In this respect, it is a handy companion to the more comprehensive two volume taxonomic pub- lication entitled Mosses of Eastern North America (Crum and Anderson, 1981). A significant feature following the introduction of Mosses of the Great Lakes Forest is the dichotomous key to genera treated in the manual; a feature not found in Mosses of Eastern North America. Descriptive materials (including illustrations) follow, with 545 pages for moss species of two divisions; Sphagnophyta (Peat Mosses) and Bryophyta with two classes Andreaeopsida (Granite Mosses) and Bryopsida (True Mosses). Following a description and noteworthy comments about the Sphagnophyta, and hence the only family Sphagnaceae, is a key to species of the single genus Sphagnum (pp.
