I would like to extend my apologies for anyinadvertent omissions. iv Abstract A vascularplant inventory of Fall CreekFalls State Park(FCFSP), Van Buren andBledsoe Counties,Tennessee was conducted during the growing seasons of2001 and 2002. Thepark encompasses ca. 8,900 ha on the westernescarpment of the Cumberland Plateau. A total of881 taxa from131 familieswere documented during this survey. Of these taxa, 301 were determinedto becounty records for either VanBuren or Bledsoe County,Tennessee. Non-nativespecies arerepresented by 110 taxa, which is 12% ofthe total flora. Seventeen Federalor State listed taxa were documented, including Nestronia umbellula, which represents a physiographicrecord forthe CumberlandPlateau in Tennessee. Voucher specimens were deposited in the herbariumof the Universityof Tennessee (TENN). A total of 17 plantcommunities andeight microhabitats were delineated and describedduring this study. An analysisof distribution trends was conducted to assess geographic affinitiesof the flora. The majority of thetaxa (80%) lie withintheir distributionranges with therest either beingextraneous (4%), endemic (3%), or non-native (12%). A floristiccomparison was conducted to comparethe speciesrichness ofFCFSP to other previously surveyedareas on the CumberlandPlateau in Tennessee. This comparisondemonstrated that this parkhas the second highest richness value ofthose sites.

Similar species Summary Lespedeza cuneata is a long-lived perennial that grows well in grasslands, pastures, along roadsides, drainage areas, fencerows and in other disturbed areas. It is often found as a weed in cultivated areas, fallow and abandoned fields, meadows and marshes. It is adapted to a wide range of climatic conditions and is tolerant of drought. Lespedeza cuneata can survive freezing winter temperatures, but is often damaged by late spring freezes. Lespedeza cuneata grows best in deep soils, such as deep sands with organic matter or sandy loams with clay loam subsoil. It will also grow on strongly acidic to neutral soils. Dispersal is aided by animals that consume the fruits then pass the seeds; autumn dispersal is aided by the collection of hay in infested fields. view this species on IUCN Red List Global Invasive Species Database (GISD) 2021.

  • Vascular Flora of Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area, Anderson County, Texas
    2003SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST 2(3):347–368 THE VASCULAR FLORA OF GUS ENGELING WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA, ANDERSON COUNTY, TEXAS 1 2,3 2 JASON R. SINGHURST , JAMES C. CATHY , DALE PROCHASKA , 2 4 5 HAYDEN HAUCKE , GLENN C. KROH , AND WALTER C. HOLMES ABSTRACT - Field studies in the Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area, which consists of approximately 4465.5 ha (11,034.1 acres) of the Post Oak Savannah of Anderson County, have resulted in an annotated checklist of the vascular flora corroborating its remarkable species richness. A total of 930 taxa (excluding family names), belonging to 485 genera and 145 families are re- corded. Asteraceae (124 species), Poaceae (114 species), Fabaceae (67 species), and Cyperaceae (61 species) represented the largest families. Six Texas endemic taxa occur on the site: Brazoria truncata var. pulcherrima (B. pulcherrima), Hymenopappus carrizoanus, Palafoxia reverchonii, Rhododon ciliatus, Trades- cantia humilis, and T. subacaulis. Within Texas, Zigadenus densus is known only from the study area. The area also has a large number of species that are endemic to the West Gulf Coastal Plain and Carrizo Sands phytogeographic distribution patterns. Eleven vegetation alliances occur on the property, with the most notable being sand post oak-bluejack oak, white oak-southern red oak-post oak, and beakrush-pitcher plant alliances. INTRODUCTION The Post Oak Savannah (Gould 1962) comprises about 4,000,000 ha of gently rolling to hilly lands that lie immediately west of the Pineywoods (Timber belt). Some (Allred and Mitchell 1955, Dyksterhuis 1948) consider the vegetation of the area as part of the deciduous forest; i.e., burned out forest that is presently regenerating.

HOWARD Date of Degree: DECEMBER 2013 Title of Study: SERICEA LESPEDEZA (LESPEDEZA CUNEATA) INVASION: IMPLICATIONS FOR A SMALL MAMMAL COMMUNITY AND THE INFLUENCE OF LOCAL FIRE HISTORY Major Field: ZOOLOGY Abstract: Lespedeza cuneata [(Dumont) G. Don] is a perennial legume first introduced to North America from eastern Asia in 1896 and is now widespread and well established across much of the eastern and central United States. Possible impacts of invasion and mechanisms of spread however are poorly understood. I assessed the influence of three L. cuneata cover classes (i.e., < 5%, 15 – 20%, and > 25% per m2) on a small mammal community in eastern Oklahoma (February 2010 to December 2011). I also examined the relationship between local fire history and L. cuneata cover and also considered the effect of plant invasion on the vegetation community in these same areas. My results indicate small mammal community diversity decreased with increasing L.

After graduation from college, he moved to Eastern Oklahoma State College where he took a position as Instructor in Botany and Agronomy. In the course of conducting botany field trips and working with local residents on their plant problems, the author became increasingly interested in the flora of that area and of the State of Oklahoma. This led to an extensive study of the northern portion of the Oauchita Highlands with collections currently numbering approximately 4,200. The specimens have been processed according to standard herbarium procedures. The first set has been placed in the Herbarium of Oklahoma State University with the second set going to Eastern Oklahoma State College at Wilburton. Editor’s note: The original species list included habitat characteristics and collection notes. These are omitted here but are available in the dissertation housed at the Edmon-Low Library at OSU or in digital form by request to the editor. [SS] PHYSICAL FEATURES Winding Stair Mountain ranges.
