  • Cottonwood Lakes / New Army Pass Trail
    Inyo National Forest Cottonwood Lakes / New Army Pass Trail Named for the cottonwood trees which were located at the original trailhead in the Owens Valley, the Cottonwood Lakes are home to California's state fish, the Golden Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss aguabonita). The lakes are located in an alpine basin at the southern end of the John Muir Wilder- ness. They are surrounded by high peaks of the Sierra Nevada, including Cirque Peak and Mt. Lang- ley. The New Army Pass Trail provides access to Sequoia National Park and the Pacific Crest Trail. Trailhead Facilities: Water: Yes Bear Resistant Food Storage Lockers: Yes Campgrounds: Cottonwood Lakes Trailhead Campground is located at the trailhead. Visitors with stock may use Horseshoe Meadow Equestrian Camp, located nearby. On The Trail: Food Storage: Food, trash and scented items must be stored in bear-resistant containers. Camping: Use existing campsites. Camping is prohibited within 25 feet of the trail, and within 100 feet of water. Human Waste: Bury human waste 6”-8” deep in soil, at least 100 feet from campsites, trails, and water. Access: Campfires: Campfires are prohibited above 10,400 ft. The trailhead is located approximately 24 miles southwest of Lone Pine, CA. From Highway Pets: Pets must be under control at all times. 395 in Lone Pine, turn west onto Whitney Portal Additional Regulations: Information about Kings Road.

  • "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.

  • Boraginaceae), with an Emphasis on the Popcornflowers (Plagiobothrys)
    Diversification, biogeography, and classification of Amsinckiinae (Boraginaceae), with an emphasis on the popcornflowers (Plagiobothrys) By Christopher Matthew Guilliams A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Bruce G. Baldwin, Chair Professor David Ackerly Professor Brent Mishler Professor Patrick O'Grady Summer 2015 Abstract Diversification, biogeography, and classification of Amsinckiinae (Boraginaceae), with an emphasis on the popcornflowers (Plagiobothrys) by Christopher Matthew Guilliams Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Bruce G. Baldwin, Chair Amsinckiinae is a diverse and ecologically important subtribe of annual herbaceous or perennial suffrutescent taxa with centers of distribution in western North America and southern South America. Taxa in the subtribe occur in all major ecosystems in California and more broadly in western North America, from the deserts of Baja California in the south where Johnstonella and Pectocarya are common, north to the ephemeral wetland ecosystems of the California Floristic Province where a majority of Plagiobothrys sect. Allocarya taxa occur, and east to the Basin and Range Province of western North America, where Cryptantha sensu stricto (s.s.) and Oreocarya are well represented. The subtribe minimally includes 9 genera: Amsinckia, Cryptantha s.s., Eremocarya, Greeneocharis, Harpagonella, Johnstonella, Oreocarya, Pectocarya, and Plagiobothrys; overall minimum-rank taxonomic diversity in the subtribe is ca. 330-342 taxa, with ca. 245--257 taxa occurring in North America, 86 in South America, and 4 in Australia. Despite their prevalence on the landscape and a history of active botanical research for well over a century, considerable research needs remain in Amsinckiinae, especially in one of the two largest genera, Plagiobothrys.

  • 51. Last Chance Meadow (Ball 1976, Dedecker 1975A, Inyo National Forest 1982A) Location This Established RNA Is Located on the Inyo National Forest
    51. Last Chance Meadow (Ball 1976, DeDecker 1975a, Inyo National Forest 1982a) Location This established RNA is located on the Inyo National Forest. It lies on the E. side of the crest of the S. Sierra Nevada about 13 miles (21 km) SW. of Lone Pine. It lies within portions of sects. 13, 14, 23, and 24 T17S, R35E MDBM (36°27'N., 118°9'W.), USGS Cirque Peak quad (fig. 104). Ecological subsection – Glaciated Batholith (M261Eo). Target Element Foxtail Pine (Pinus balfouriana) Distinctive Features Foxtail Pine Forests: Foxtail pine is a principal dominant of the S. Sierra subalpine forests, yet little ecological information exists for these forests. Figure 104—Last Factors limiting growth, structure, productivity, and distribution of the S. Sierra Chance Meadow stands are not clearly understood, nor is the role of fire, nor the explanation for RNA the extremely sparse understory characteristic of the type. The extensive stands at this RNA, over a variety of site conditions, could also prove useful in a comparative study with the N. California populations of foxtail pine Dashed line = represented at Crater Creek cRNA, Mount Eddy RNA, and Sugar Creek cRNA. Ecological study area; The information gathered in this survey and by the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Solid gray line = RNA Research (cited in ecological survey) on growth of foxtail pine suggests that Boundary local dominants typically exceed 600 years, attaining ages of 1000-1500 years (fig. 105). The ease of access (edge of RNA only 0.5 mile [0.8 km] from paved road) also will facilitate and encourage research on this typically rather inaccessible forest type.
