    "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."

    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms. Contributions go to the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Fund, which provides a portion of the operating budget for the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program.

Experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions to determine effect of water extracts in petri dish bioassay and in pots with soil. Water extracts from dry aboveground biomass of S. gigantea in concentrations of 1, 5 and 10% were investigated. In petri dish bioassay, all extract con- centrations showed allelopathic effect on germination and seedling growth of crops with reduction over 25 and 60%, respectively. Both weed species germination and growth were greatly suppressed with extract application. In pot experiment, allelopathic effect was less pronounced. Reduction in emergence percent, shoot length and fresh weight of carrot were observed. Barley root length and fresh weight were reduced with the highest extract concentration. No significant effect on seedling emergence and growth of A. theophrasti was recorded, while emergence of A. retroflexuswas inhib- ited for 14.4%. Germination and growth of test species decreased propor- tionately as concentration of weed biomass in water extracts increased. Differences in sensitivity among species were recorded, with A. retroflexus being the most susceptible to extracts.

    Responses of Plant Communities to Grazing in the Southwestern United States Department of Agriculture United States Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station Daniel G. Milchunas General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-169 April 2006 Milchunas, Daniel G. 2006. Responses of plant communities to grazing in the southwestern United States. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-169. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 126 p. Abstract Grazing by wild and domestic mammals can have small to large effects on plant communities, depend- ing on characteristics of the particular community and of the type and intensity of grazing. The broad objective of this report was to extensively review literature on the effects of grazing on 25 plant commu- nities of the southwestern U.S. in terms of plant species composition, aboveground primary productiv- ity, and root and soil attributes. Livestock grazing management and grazing systems are assessed, as are effects of small and large native mammals and feral species, when data are available. Emphasis is placed on the evolutionary history of grazing and productivity of the particular communities as deter- minants of response. After reviewing available studies for each community type, we compare changes in species composition with grazing among community types. Comparisons are also made between southwestern communities with a relatively short history of grazing and communities of the adjacent Great Plains with a long evolutionary history of grazing. Evidence for grazing as a factor in shifts from grasslands to shrublands is considered. An appendix outlines a new community classification system, which is followed in describing grazing impacts in prior sections.

    Phaedon Desotonis Balsbaugh (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a Coreopsis (Asteaceae) Pest New to Florida

    DACS-P-01670 Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry Charles H. Bronson, Commissioner of Agriculture Phaedon desotonis Balsbaugh (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a Coreopsis (Asteaceae) pest new to Florida Michael C. Thomas, [email protected], Taxonomic Entomologist, Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry INTRODUCTION: Until 2001, Phaedon desotonis Balsbaugh was known from a single specimen collected in northern Alabama (Balsbaugh and Hays 1972; Balsbaugh 1983). Since then, P. desotonis has been discovered to have a broad distribution in the southeastern United States (Wheeler and Hoebeke 2001) and has emerged as an occasional pest of ornamental plantings of tickseed, Coreopsis spp. (Braman et al 2002), Florida’s official state wildflower. This publication records its presence for the first time in Florida and summarizes the available information on its habits, life history, and pest potential. IDENTIFICATION: The genus Phaedon includes eight described species in the U.S. (Balsbaugh 1983). They are oblong, convex, metallic beetles about 3-5 mm in length. There are only two species known to occur in Florida: the newly recorded P. desotonis (Fig. 1) and the widespread P. viridis (Melsheimer). Phaedon desotonis (Fig. 1) is more elongate, has a greenish pronotum and purplish black elytra, while P. viridis (Fig. 2) is less elongate, and in Florida is entirely bronze. Elsewhere, it may be greenish or bluish. In P. viridis, the anterior borders of the mesosternum and first visible abdominal sternite have very large punctures, while those of P. desotonis do not. The structure of the male genitalia also differs in the two species (see Wheeler and Hoebeke 2001, Fig.

    8th international scientific/professional conference SECTION II Izvorni znanstveni rad / original scientific paper Allelopathic effect of invasive species giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea Ait.) on wheat and scentless mayweed Marija Ravlić1, Renata Baličević1, Ana Peharda2 1Faculty of Agriculture, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Kralja Petra Svačića 1d, Osijek, Croatia, e-mail: [email protected] 2Student, Faculty of Agriculture, Osijek, Croatia Abstract The aim of the research was to determine allelopathic potential of invasive species giant gol- denrod (Solidago giganetea Ait.) on germination and initial growth of wheat and weed species scentless mayweed (Tripleurospermum inodorum (L.) C.H. Schultz). Experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions to determine effect of water extracts in petri dish bioassay and in pots with soil. Water extracts from dry aboveground biomass of S. gigantea in concentrations of 1, 5 and 10 % (10, 50 and 100 g/l) were investigated. In petri dish bioassay, germination of wheat was slightly reduced, while all extract concentration inhibited wheat growth. T. inodorum germination and seedling growth was affected with higher extract concentration. Application of extract to pots had no effect on wheat emergence and growth, with the exception of 10 % extract which reduced root length. Emergence of T. inodorum was significantly decreased with 5 and 10 % extract for 38.5 and 49.0 %, respectively. Key words: allelopathy, Solidago gigantea Ait., crops, scentless mayweed, water extracts Introduction Excessive use of herbicides in most weed management systems is a major concern since it causes serious threats to the environment, public health and increases costs of crop production. The degree of weed seed germination inhibition and growth suppression which can be attributed to crop allelopathy is highly important and can be considered as a possible alternative weed management strategy (Asghari and Tewari, 2007., Macias, 1995.).
