  • Type Description Picea Sitchensis
    Forest / Forêt Association CNVC00017 Picea sitchensis - Tsuga heterophylla / Rubus spectabilis / Maianthemum dilatatum Sitka Spruce - Western Hemlock / Salmonberry / Two-leaved False Soloman's Seal Épinette de Sitka - Pruche de l'Ouest / Ronce remarquable / Maïanthème dilaté Subassociations: none CNVC Alliance: not yet determined CNVC Group: not yet determined Type Description Concept: CNVC00017 is a Canadian endemic association that occurs on rich, moist, high fluvial benches on the floodplains of rivers on the west coast of Vancouver Island and the outer mainland mid-coast of British Columbia. These sites occur at low elevations (up to 200 mASL). Sites supporting this association have a fluctuating annual water table but flood only every few years or so. Sitka spruce ( Picea sitchensis ) dominates the canopy, which includes a moderate amount of western hemlock ( Tsuga heterophylla ). Salmonberry ( Rubus spectabilis ), stink currant ( Ribes bracteosum ), and western hemlock regeneration are the main species of the shrub layer. The well-developed herb layer is mostly ferns: western sword fern ( Polystichum munitum ), common lady fern ( Athyrium filix-femina ), and deer fern ( Blechnum spicant ); but also includes three-leaved foamflower (Tiarella trifoliata ) and two-leaved false Soloman's seal ( Maianthemum dilatatum ). The moss layer is predominantly Oregon and slender beaked mosses ( Eurhynchium oreganum and E. praelongum ). Vegetation: A high cover of Picea sitchensis and moderate cover of Tsuga heterophylla dominate the overstory of CNVC00017, which sometimes has high to moderate cover of Abies amabilis in the forest canopy. The moderately developed shrub layer is dominated by high cover of Rubus spectabilis and regenerating Tsuga heterophylla , with moderate cover of Ribes bracteosum and Vaccinium parvifolium .

  • Hooker's Fairy Bells
    Hooker’s Fairy Bells (Prosartes hookeri var. oregana) Lily Family Why Choose It? This delicate and charming member of the Lily family will happily spread in shaded garden areas, under trees and large shrubs. It is a wonderful substitute for many of the non-native ground covers that are typically found in shade. In the Garden Photo: Ben Legler Fairy Bells make a wonderful and attractive ground cover. Once it spreads, which it does moderately (no need to worry about it taking over), it provides a carpet of attractive foliage and its dense, rhizomatous, root system discourages other plants from coming up between. It can be combined with other shade lovers such as wood sorrel (Oxalis oregana), false Solomon’s seal (Maianthemum racemosa), or sword fern (Polystichum munitum). The Facts Like most members of the Lily family, Fairy Bells begin the season by producing a single sprout, which eventually unfurls to form a 1’ to 3’ tall branching plant. Their pointed leaf tips are twisted to form little “spouts” which allow the abundant rainfall that occurs where these plants grow to run off. In spring, pendent, bell-shaped, white flowers appear in two’s and three’s at the tips of each stem, and are followed by yellow-orange berries which finally turn bright red. Besides being shade loving, Fairy Bells also want a moist, forest-like soil, so that means lots of organic matter. They can get through the summer with some supplemental watering during dry spells. Where to See It Hooker’s Fairy Bells grow at low to mid elevations in shaded woodlands both east and west of the Cascades.

  • Plant Community Response to Post-Wildfire Management Activities in Interior Douglas-Fir Forests of Southern BC
    Plant Community Response to Post-wildfire Management Activities in Interior Douglas-Fir Forests of Southern BC by Scott T. Black B.Sc. (Hons.) The University of Victoria, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Botany) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2009 © Scott T. Black, 2009 Abstract Post-wildfire disturbances such as salvage logging and seeding of agronomic species occur over large parts of the forested land base in British Columbia. However, there is surprisingly little research on the effects of these management practices on plant community composition and species diversity. The future of plant and animal biodiversity will depend increasingly on regional floras surviving in highly managed and disturbed environments. I examined vascular and nonvascular plant community responses four years after wildfire and post-wildfire management practices in interior Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca) forests following two separate 2003 wildfires near Kamloops, BC, Canada. Wildfire sites with all combinations of seeding and salvage logging disturbance were selected in similar post-wildfire environments. Analysis at the plot (400m2, n=104) and stand (400-1200m2, n=42) scales suggested that post-wildfire disturbance had a significant negative effect on native species richness and reduced the frequency of some shrub and shade tolerance species including Ceanothus sanguineus and Prosartes hookeri. As well, multivariate analysis showed evidence for altered post-wildfire community composition and structure mainly due to increased dominance of exotic and graminoid species. These negative effects were most apparent in wildfire sites that were both seeded and salvaged-logged.
