DATE: November 2009 APPROVED BY: DATE: _____________ Name, Forest Botanist, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit SUMMARY OF EFFECTS DETERMINATION AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND/OR REQUIREMENTS One population of a special-status bryophyte, three-ranked hump-moss (Meesia triquetra), was observed in the survey area during surveys on June 30, 2008 and August 28, 2008. The proposed action will not affect the moss because the population is located outside the project area where no action is planned. The following species of invasive or noxious weeds were identified during surveys of the Project area: cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum); bullthistle (Cirsium vulgare); Klamathweed (Hypericum perforatum); oxe-eye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare); and common mullein (Verbascum Thapsus). The threat posed by these weed populations would not increase if the proposed action is implemented. An inventory and assessment of invasive and noxious weeds in the survey area is presented in the Noxious Weed Risk Assessment for the Upper Truckee River Sunset Stables Restoration Project (ENTRIX 2009). Based on the description of the proposed action and the evaluation contained herein, we have determined the following: There would be no significant effect to plant species listed as threatened, endangered, proposed for listing, or candidates under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA), administered by the U.S.

May not be copied or reused without express written permission of the publisher. click here to BUY THIS BOOK INTRODUCTION HOW THE BOOK IS ORGANIZED Conifers and broadleaved trees and shrubs are treated separately in this book. Each group has its own set of keys to genera and species, as well as plant descriptions. Plant descriptions are or- ganized alphabetically by genus and then by species. In a few cases, we have included separate subspecies or varieties. Gen- era in which we include more than one species have short generic descriptions and species keys. Detailed species descrip- tions follow the generic descriptions. A species description in- cludes growth habit, distinctive characteristics, habitat, range (including a map), and remarks. Most species descriptions have an illustration showing leaves and either cones, flowers, or fruits. Illustrations were drawn from fresh specimens with the intent of showing diagnostic characteristics. Plant rarity is based on rankings derived from the California Native Plant Society and federal and state lists (Skinner and Pavlik 1994). Two lists are presented in the appendixes. The first is a list of species grouped by distinctive morphological features. The second is a checklist of trees and shrubs indexed alphabetically by family, genus, species, and common name.

  • Life History Type and Water Stress Tolerance in Nine California Chaparral Species (Rhamnaceae)

B. PRATT, A. L. JACOBSEN, K. A. GOLGOTIU, J. S. SPERRY, F. W. EWERS, AND S. D. DAVIS 1Department of Biology, California State University, Bakersfield, 9001 Stockdale Highway, Bakersfield, California 93311 USA 2Department of Plant Biology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824 USA 3Natural Science Division, Pepperdine University, Malibu, California 90263 USA 4University of Utah, Department of Biology, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 USA Abstract. Chaparral species of California, USA, exhibit three life history types in response to fire: non-sprouters (NS), facultative sprouters (FS), and obligate sprouters (OS). Adult non-sprouters are killed by fire; thus populations reestablish only through fire- stimulated seed germination and seedling recruitment. Facultative sprouters reestablish by both vegetative sprouting and seed germination. Obligate sprouters reestablish only by vegetative sprouting and do not recruit seedlings post-fire. Previous data suggest that post-fire NS and FS seedlings reestablish as open-canopy gap specialists, whereas OS seedlings primarily reestablish in deep shade during fire-free intervals. Their non-refractory seeds are killed by fire. We hypothesized that these differences in life history, compared within the same taxonomic group, would result in a range of relative resistance to water stress such that NS . FS . OS. To test our hypothesis, we estimated resistance to water stress using resistance to xylem cavitation (the water potential at 50% loss in hydraulic conductivity; W50) for stems and roots in nine species of the family Rhamnaceae: Ceanothus megacarpus, C.

  • Restoring Western Ranges and Wildlands
    United States Department of Agriculture Restoring Western Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Ranges and Wildlands Report RMRS-GTR-136-vol. 3 September 2004 Volume 3 Chapters 24–29, Appendices, Index Abstract ______________________________________ Monsen, Stephen B.; Stevens, Richard; Shaw, Nancy L., comps. 2004. Restoring western ranges and wildlands. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-136-vol-3. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. Pages 699– 884 plus appendices and index. This work, in three volumes, provides background on philosophy, processes, plant materials selection, site preparation, and seed and seeding equipment for revegetating disturbed rangelands, emphasizing use of native species. The 29 chapters include guidelines for planning, conducting, and managing, and contain a compilation of rangeland revegetation research conducted over the last several decades to aid practitioners in reestablishing healthy communities and curbing the spread of invasive species. Volume 3 contains chapters 24-29 plus appendices and index. Keywords: rehabilitation, revegetation, plant ecology, seed, plant communities, wildlife habitat, invasive species, equipment, plant materials, native plants A B A—Hand-harvesting grass seed. B—Certification tag. C—Native plant propagation in greenhouse. D—Brush machine. E—Flail-vac harvesting needle-and thread grass. Restoring Western Ranges and Wildlands Compilers Stephen B.

  • 4.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 4.3.1 Existing Conditions Methodology
    4.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 4.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section identifies biological resources present on the project site and assesses the project’s impacts upon those resources. It is based on previous biological resource assessments for the site (conducted for the applicant) and a review of those assessments and supplemental field surveys and research conducted by the City’s EIR consultant. Since the Notice of Preparation was published March 9, 2010, the applicant has undertaken minimal amount of site disturbance activity for environmental research and maintenance. These activities involved conducting cultural resources investigations in March 2011, fuel maintenance as required by the County Fire Department in May 2011, and geotechnical exploration of the project site to assess possible construction design (i.e. foundation designs) on June 13-15, 2011. Each of these activities was planned and monitored to avoid any significant biological resources. Fuel modification is conducted on an ongoing basis once every three months. 4.3.1 Existing Conditions This section discusses the regional setting, project site conditions, and the existing and potentially occurring biological resources at the project site. Biological resources within the surrounding area are also discussed, when relevant. Methodology The description of existing conditions provided below is based on a literature review and site surveys. Literature Review The literature review included previous site-specific and non site-specific studies and California Department of Fish and
