USDA Forest Service; Montana State University 2. We sampled the floral VOCs, phenologies and bee visitors of naturally growing plants in a montane meadow in the Northern Rocky Mountains of USA in order Handling Editor: Jessamyn Manson to acquire a base understanding of how floral VOCs and other plant traits may structure plant–pollinator interactions across the growing season. We expected forb species with floral VOCs that were original (far from the community mean) and unique (far from the nearest neighbour) would have few pollinating partners (i.e. specialists), while forbs with non‐original or highly variable floral VOCs would form the generalist core of interactors, thereby contributing to network nested- ness (specialists interacting with nested subsets of generalists). Network modu- larity (patterns of distinct, highly connected subnetworks) could be influenced by groups of pollinators that are attracted to or repelled by certain floral bouquets.

  • A Second Annotated Checklist of Vascular Plants in Wells Gray Provincial Park and Vicinity, British Columbia, Canada
    A second annotated checklist of vascular plants in Wells Gray Provincial Park and vicinity, British Columbia, Canada Version 1: April, 2011 Curtis R. Björk1 and Trevor Goward2 ENLICHENED CONSULTING LTD. Box 131, Clearwater, BC, V0E 1N0, Canada [email protected], [email protected] Vascular Plants in Wells Gray SUMMARY Wells Gray Provincial Park is a vast wilderness preserve situated in the mountains and highlands of south-central British Columbia. The first major floristic study of the vascular plants of Wells Gray and its vicinity was published in 1965 by Leena Hämet-Ahti, who documented 550 taxa, including a first Canadian record of Carex praeceptorium. The present study contributes nearly 500 additional taxa documented by us between 1976 and 2010 in connection with our personal explorations of the Clearwater Valley. The vascular flora of Wells Gray Park and vicinity now stands at 1046 taxa, including 881 native species and 165 species introduced from Eurasia and other portions of British Columbia. Wells Gray Park is notable both for the presence of numerous taxa (45) at or near the northern limits of their range, as well as for an unexpectedly high number of taxa (43) accorded conservation status by the British Columbia Conservation Data Centre. Antennaria corymbosa has its only known Canadian locality within Wells Gray, while five additional species reported here are known in Canada from fewer than six localities. About a dozen unknown, possibly undescribed taxa have also been detected. Botanical inventory has thus far been confined to the southern portions of Wells Gray. Future studies in northern half of the park will certainly greatly increase our knowledge of the biological diversity safeguarded in this magnificent wilderness preserve.

  • Mt. Helena Wildflowers
    Mt. Helena Wildflowers Celebrating Wildflowers Partners Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, Kelsey Chapter - Montana Native Plant Society, Montana Discovery Foundation Celebrating Wildflowers Partners Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, Kelsey Chapter - Montana Native Plant Society, Montana Discovery Foundation About Celebrating Wildflowers The Celebrating Wildflowers program was created in 1991 by the USDA Forest Service in response to a public request for information about native plants and their conservation. Other agencies soon joined as botanists, interpreters and the public became enthusiastic about the Celebrating Wildflowers program. The Helena National Forest, in cooperation with the partners of the Montana Discovery Foundation and the Kelsey Chapter of the Montana Native Plant Society, is now in the fifteenth year of Celebrating Wildflowers. The partners, working with area teachers, encourage 4th grade students to read myths and legends about native flora and then illustrate the stories. The winners from the art competition are displayed in a publication, the overall winner has their art turned into a billboard, and the top three receive pillows designed from their artwork. Also, participating students join us on this hike on Mt. Helena to view first hand the unique and beautiful range of native plant species found virtually in their backyard. Education stations are also set up to inform students about pollination and botany. This publication was created to make your jobs as volunteers easier as you mentor students on this hike. The Celebrating Wildflower Partners thank you for your time, energy and knowledge as we fulfill our mission of encouraging everyone to learn more about native plants, their habitat and conservation.

  • Viable Seed Bank Composition Under Western Juniper in Eastern OR
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Corinne M. Duncan for the degree of Master of Science in Rangeland Ecology and Management presented on November 19, 2008. Title: Seed Bank Response to Juniper Expansion in the Semi-arid Lands of Oregon, USA Abstract approved: _____________________________________________________________________ Richard F. Miller Expansion of Juniperus occidentalis into the sagebrush steppe has resulted in significant changes in understory composition. A consequence of increased J. occidentalis dominance may be a depletion of the seed bank. The potential for depletion is problematic because a reduction in the amount of species available from the seed bank may compromise site resiliency. During disturbances that disrupt current vegetation, a reduction in recruitment from the seed bank could cause the site to be more vulnerable to colonization by weedy species or could lead to a reduction in the amount of cover protecting the soil surface and thus increase site susceptibility to erosion. This research evaluated the effects of the relative abundance of J. occidentalis on the soil seed bank. Questions addressed were: 1) is species richness negatively correlated with J. occidentalis cover; 2) does the diversity of weedy species increase along a gradient of J. occidentalis cover; and 3) does seed density decrease as J. occidentalis cover increases? We also attempted to identify seed bank depletion thresholds based on seed density. Two eastern Oregon sagebrush steppe sites where chosen to represent the juniper woodland-sagebrush steppe region. These sites displayed a range of J. occidentalis canopy cover. Soil and litter samples were collected in the fall of 2006 and 2007 and subjected to both cold-wet and warm-dry stratification.

  • Checklist of Montana Vascular Plants
    Checklist of Montana Vascular Plants June 1, 2011 By Scott Mincemoyer Montana Natural Heritage Program Helena, MT This checklist of Montana vascular plants is organized by Division, Class and Family. Species are listed alphabetically within this hierarchy. Synonyms, if any, are listed below each species and are slightly indented from the main species list. The list is generally composed of species which have been documented in the state and are vouchered by a specimen collection deposited at a recognized herbaria. Additionally, some species are included on the list based on their presence in the state being reported in published and unpublished botanical literature or through data submitted to MTNHP. The checklist is made possible by the contributions of numerous botanists, natural resource professionals and plant enthusiasts throughout Montana’s history. Recent work by Peter Lesica on a revised Flora of Montana (Lesica 2011) has been invaluable for compiling this checklist as has Lavin and Seibert’s “Grasses of Montana” (2011). Additionally, published volumes of the Flora of North America (FNA 1993+) have also proved very beneficial during this process. The taxonomy and nomenclature used in this checklist relies heavily on these previously mentioned resources, but does not strictly follow anyone of them. The Checklist of Montana Vascular Plants can be viewed or downloaded from the Montana Natural Heritage Program’s website at: http://mtnhp.org/plants/default.asp This publication will be updated periodically with more frequent revisions anticipated initially due to the need for further review of the taxonomy and nomenclature of particular taxonomic groups (e.g. Arabis s.l ., Crataegus , Physaria ) and the need to clarify the presence or absence in the state of some species.
