Dayak Tunjung ethnic group consists of several sub-ethnics, among them are the Dayak Tunjung Rentenungk and Dayak Tunjung Tonyoi, which has similarities in the implementation of traditional ceremonies. Dayak Tunjung ceremonial process is using organs of plants which are used as a tools or medium in the ceremony. This research aimed to find out, uncover, and record Ethnobotany of Dayak Tunjung society, related to the type of plants used in traditional ceremonies process, plant organs used, the process of obtaining organs of plants used and the type of ceremony that uses the plant organs. This research is a qualitative study using descriptive method. Data was collected through observation, interview and documentation in six villages; namely Balok Asa, Linggang Melapeh, Linggang Bigung, Bigung Baru, Linggang Mapan and Linggang Amer. There are 57 informants in this research process, 7 primary informants and 50 secondary informants. Data were analyzed inductively, starting from the fieldwork, studying phenomena that exist in the field to get complete data. Research results showed that Dayak Tunjung Society still adhered to the tradition in regulating procedure utilization natural resources to fulfill their needs, especially the utilization of herbs. This research was managed to record the plants used in the traditional ceremony of Dayak Tunjung as many as 78 species of plants, which comprise of 35 different family. Plant organs obtained by performing a ritual or directly taken, the type of plant organs that are used consist of roots, tubers, stems, bark, leaves, flowers, fruit, and all of organs. There are 17 type Dayak Tunjung traditional ceremonies that were successfully recorded.

  • Imperata Cylindrica) Populations in Mississippi
    Invasive Plant Science and Management 2010 3:199–207 Review Ecotype Variability and Edaphic Characteristics for Cogongrass (Imperata cylindrica) Populations in Mississippi Charles T. Bryson, L. Jason Krutz, Gary N. Ervin, Krishna N. Reddy, and John D. Byrd, Jr.* Cogongrass is a highly invasive, perennial grass that is found on all continents, except Antarctica. It continues to spread at an alarming rate in the southeastern United States. Cogongrass has been reported from a wide array of habitats; however, soils from areas where cogongrass grows have never been characterized. Live cogongrass plants, herbarium specimens, and soil samples were collected from 53 cogongrass populations from across the 10 physiographic regions and land use areas in Mississippi. Cogongrass leaf and inflorescence morphology varied among sites, and plants were found in soils varying widely in texture (ranging from 28 to 86% sand, 3 to 48% silt, and 6 to 43% clay), organic matter content (ranging from 0.9 to 5.0%), pH (ranging from 4.4 to 8.0), and nutrient status: 6 to 190 kg ha21 (15 to 470 lb A21) of phosphorus (P), 46 to 734 kg ha21 of potassium (K), 150 to 7,620 kg ha21 of calcium (Ca), 26 to 1,090 kg ha21 of magnesium (Mg), 1 to 190 kg ha21 of zinc (Zn), 145 to 800 kg ha21 of estimated sulfur (S) based on organic matter, and 57 to 300 kg ha21 of sodium (Na). These soil parameters were highly variable among cogongrass populations, even within physiographic regions or land use areas, and encompassed much of the soil physiochemical diversity within the state.

From: Juan J. Hernandez Subject: Updated Biological Assessment for Francis Avenue Residential Development Project located in the City of Chino, San Bernardino County, California Pursuant to your request, Hernandez Environmental Services (HES) conducted a biological assessment to document existing biological conditions associated with development of the Francis Avenue Residential Development Project site, consisting of approximately 13.35 acres located at 4570 Francis Avenue in the City of Chino, San Bernardino County, California (Figures 1 and 2). The proposed Francis Avenue Residential Development Project would result in the construction of a residential development and associated infrastructure on the entire 13.35-acre site. The project site is located within the City of Chino. The site encompasses an approximate 13.35-acre area generally located north of the intersection of Francis Avenue and Yorba Avenue. The project site consists of roofed animal pens, concrete pads, and a storage building. The site is relatively flat with an elevation of approximately 850 feet above mean sea level (amsl). A single soil type, Tujunga loamy sand, occurs on the site. The project site is surrounded by residential land uses to the east, south, and west. A General Biological Resources Assessment was prepared for the project by Psomas in July of 2016 (Appendix B). According to the previous study, the project site consists of developed and disturbed areas. The developed areas consist of roofed animal pens, concrete pads, and a storage building The disturbed areas consist of those areas with no concrete or pavement, exhibiting bare soil or sparse vegetation subject to vegetation management pursuant to Chapter 15.32 (specifically, Section 504.1.2 Vegetation) of the City of Chino Municipal Code.

    Nevada SpriNgS Conservation Plan ackNowledgemeNtS We would like to thank the Nevada Division of State Lands Conservation and Resource Protection Grant Program, known as ‘Question 1 Program’ and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for funding the development of this Springs Conservation Plan. Without the support of Nevada voters who passed Question 1 in 2002 to ‘protect, preserve, and obtain the benefits of the property and natural resources of this state’, this effort to support conservation of Nevada’s aquatic biodiversity would not have been possible. The Springs Conservation Plan working group dedicated time and travel to multiple workshops to ensure the content of this plan represented a multi-agency effort. Special thanks to Don Sada, Jennifer Newmark, Victor Cobos, and Bob Conrad for their extra time and commitment that facilitated the integration of the data collection and planning components of this project. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the individuals who reviewed this Plan and provided valuable comments. Recommended Citation: Abele, S.L. (ed.) 2011. Nevada Springs Conservation Plan.
