  • Literature Cited
    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.

  • 2019 Domain Management Plan
    Domain Management Plan 2019-2029 FINAL DRAFT 12/20/2019 Owner Contact: Amy Turner, Ph.D., CWB Director of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability The University of the South Sewanee, Tennessee Office: 931-598-1447 Office: Cleveland Annex 110C Email: [email protected] Reviewed by: The Nature Conservancy Forest Stewards Guild ____________________________________________________________________________ Tract Location: Franklin and Marion Counties, Tennessee Centroid Latitude 35.982963 Longitude -85.344382 Tract Size: 13,036 acres | 5,275 hectares Land Manager: Office of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability, The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee 2 Executive Summary The primary objective of this management plan is to provide a framework to outline future management and outline operations for the Office of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability (OESS) over the next ten years. In this plan, we will briefly introduce the physical and biological setting, past land use, and current uses of the Domain. The remainder of the plan consists of an assessment of the forest, which has been divided into six conservation areas. These conservation areas contain multiple management compartments, and the six areas have similarities in topographical position and past land use. Finally, the desired future condition and project summary of each conservation area and compartment has been outlined. Background The University of the South consists of an academic campus (382 acres) with adjacent commercial and residential areas (783 acres) that are embedded within and surrounded by diverse natural lands (11,838 acres). The term “Domain” is used interchangeably to describe both the entire ~13,000 acres and the 11,800-acre natural land matrix (also referred to as the “Greater Domain”).

  • Marrowbone Creek State Forest a Wealth of Resources by Lynn Brammer
    Marrowbone Creek State Forest A Wealth of Resources by Lynn Brammer Marrowbone Creek State Forest recently became Kentucky’s seventh state forest. The newly acquired property is located on the Metcalfe and Cumberland county line and is centrally located to other natural areas including Mammoth Cave National Park, Green River Lake State Park, Lake Cumberland State Park, Dale Hollow Lake State Park and Barren River Lake State Park. Visitors to the forest will find a wide variety of habitats that support diverse plant and animal communities. The tract is located in a transitional area and has a diversity of forest types. Tree species that are typical of mixed-meso- phytic forests, including oak, hickory, elm, walnut, tulip poplar, white pine, and hemlock are common to the area. The variety of habitats—from grasslands to early-successional woods to mature forests—provide forage and nesting sites for many bird species including wild turkey, ruffed grouse, red-cockaded woodpeckers and broad-winged hawks. Neotropical songbirds likewise benefit from the different successional stages of the forest and are prevalent in the area. The property also contains over nine miles of tributaries in the Green River and Cumberland River watersheds. Riparian areas, the buffer zones along these watersheds, are critical to the survival of many species located in this area. The Green River watershed is the fourth most biologically diverse aquatic ecosystem in the United States and is home to 151 species of fish and 71 species of mussels. The presence of two federally-endangered bats, the Indiana bat and the gray bat, add further significance to this property and the need for conservation and proper management.

  • Biological Assessment for the Planning Rule
    Biological Assessment for Threatened, Endangered, and Proposed Species, and Designated and Proposed Critical Habitat for The National Forest System 2008 Final Land Management Planning Rule Background The Forest Service has prepared a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) to examine the potential environmental impacts associated with promulgating the 2008 planning rule. The 2008 rule establishes a new process for developing future land management plans for the National Forest System (NFS). The purpose of the 2008 rule is to replace and improve upon the 2000 planning rule by providing a planning process that is readily understood, is within the agency’s capability to implement, is consistent with the capabilities of NFS lands, and recognizes the strategic programmatic nature of planning. The 2008 planning rule meets the requirements of the National Forest Management Act (NFMA) while making cost effective and efficient use of resources allocated to the Agency for land management planning. Background regarding the development of the rule is provided in the preamble to the rule (72 Fed. Reg. 48514 (August 23, 2007)). The purpose of this analysis is to comply with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California order on 30 March 2007 (Civil No. C04-4512-PJH, Judge Hamilton presiding) regarding the Forest Service obligations under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This analysis has been prepared to examine whether the Final 2008 planning rule for NFS Land Management Planning has effects on threatened, endangered, and proposed (TEP) species or on designated and proposed critical habitat. The promulgation of the 2008 planning rule is not a major construction activity as defined in the implementing regulations of the ESA (50 CFR 402.02) and the Forest Service has reached a “No Effect” determination.
