  • USDA Forest Seroice Research Note S E- 177 July 1971
    USDA Forest Seroice Research Note S E- 177 July 1971 CHOPPING AND WEBBING CONTROL SAW-PALMETTO IN SOUTH FLORIDA1 Abstract.--Saw-palmetto is one of the more troublesome plants growing in south Florida, and its control is often desirable in programs of range and timber management. Both cross-chopping and webbing (root plowing) proved to be ef­ fective control measures, but webbing appeared to be less effective on a moist site. Many other shrubs were also effectively reduced by these treatments. Saw-palmetto (Serenoa repens (Bartr.) Small) is the major under­ story shrub over much of the pine flatwoods. It is the dominant shrub on some 8.5 million acres of grazed forest land and 9 million acres of com­ mercial, nongrazed forest land in Florida (4) and is commonly associated with other shrubs over most of the pine-;Iregrass type. These shrubs are important competitors with forage and trees for soil moisture, nutri­ ents, light, and space. In dense stands of shrubs, particularly palmetto, yield and availability of forage is decreased, and cattle handling is more difficult. Wildfire is especially damaging to trees where shrubs contrib­ ute a large amount of combustible material. Most shrubs also impede planting and harvesting of pines. For these reasons, most land managers seek practical methods of shrub control. Fire has been used in the South for many years to alleviate these problems (6). Although burning temporarily reduces the size of saw­ palmetto, the plants are not killed but readily begin sprouting. These re­ sponses to fire are also true of most other southern shrubs.

  • Growth and Recovery of Oak-Saw Palmetto Scrub Through Ten Years After Fire Paul A
    Growth and Recovery of Oak-Saw Palmetto Scrub through Ten Years After Fire Paul A. SChmalzer RESEARCH ARTICLE ABSTRACT: Oak-saw palmetto scrub, a shrub community of acid, sandy, well-drained soils in Florida, is maintained by periodic, intense fIre. Understanding the direction and rates of changes in scrub composition and structure after fire is important to management decisions. We followed changes in vegeta.tion along 15Cm linecintercepttransects that were established in 1983. Two stands (8 transects) burned in a prescribed fire in December 1986; the stands had previously burned 11 y (N=4) and 7 y (N=4) before. We sampled transects at 6, 12, 18, and 24 rna and then annually through 10 y after the • 1986 fire. We measured cover by species in two height classes, > 0.5 m and < 0.5 m, and measured height at four points (0, 5, 10, and 15 m) along each transect. Saw palmetto cover equaled preburn values by· one year postburn and changed little after that. Cover of oaks > 0.5 m (Quercus myrtifolia, Q. Growth and geminata, Q. chapmanii) equaled preburn values by 5 y postburn and changed little by 10 Y postburn. Height growth continued, increasing from a mean of 84.0 cm at 5 y to 125.9 cm at 10 y postburn. Bare ground declined to <2% by 3 Y postburn. Plant species richness increased slightly after fire and then Recovery of Oak­ gradually declined. These vegetation changes alter habitat conditions for threatened and endangered Saw Pal metto Scrub animals and plants.

  • The SP Vander Kloet Vaccinium Collections11 This
    337 REVIEW / SYNTHÈSE Beyond botany to genetic resource preservation: the S.P. Vander Kloet Vaccinium collections1 Kim E. Hummer, Andrew R. Jamieson, and Ruth E. Newell Abstract: Sam P. Vander Kloet, botanist, traveled the world examining and obtaining specimens to redefine infrageneric taxonomic units within Vaccinium L., family Ericaceae. Besides his botanical treatises, his legacy includes herbarium voucher specimens and ex situ genetic resource collections including a seed bank and living plant collections at the Agricul- ture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Kentville, Nova Scotia, Canada; the K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre and Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens, Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada; the Canadian Clonal Genebank, Harrow, Ontario, Canada; and the US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, National Clonal Germ- plasm Repository, Corvallis, Oregon, United States. Sam P. Vander Kloet’s collections include representatives of wild Erica- ceae with special emphasis on collections of North American and subtropical endemic Vaccinium species. These reference collections are significant and represent a lifetime of dedicated research. Representatives of his heritage collections have now been deposited not only in American genebanks (in Canada and the United States) but also in the World Genebank in Svalbard, Norway, for long term conservation and future evaluation of Vaccinium for the service of humanity. The bequest of his wild collected germplasm will continue to be available to facilitate utilization of an extended Vaccinium gene pool for development and breeding throughout the world. Key words: germplasm conservation, blueberry, genetics, genebanks, plant exploration. Résumé : Sam P. Vander Kloet, botaniste, a voyagé à travers le monde en examinant et obtenant des spécimens pour redéfi- nir les unités taxonomiques infragénériques au sein des Vaccinium L., famille des Ericaceae.

  • Effects of Overstory Structure and Fire Regime Upon Diversity And
    JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 49, 2003 (9): 395–402 Effects of overstory structure and fire regime upon diversity and abundance of selected understory species in longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forests in southeastern Georgia W. KEITH MOSER, CHUI KWAN YU Missouri Department of Conservation, Columbia, U.S.A. ABSTRACT: We examined the impacts of variation in overstory structure and burning regime on understory vegetation in the longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forest of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Georgia, U.S.A. On sandy upland sites surrounding the Okefenokee Swamp and on islands, we established five randomly-located 0.04-ha plots within each of six study areas. The plots varied in overstory density, past management and fire regime. We measured overstory tree size of longleaf pines in the 0.04-ha plots and percent cover of ground cover species in five 1-m2 subplots nested within each 0.04-ha plot. We also calculated diversity indices for the ground cover species. There was no significant relationship between overstory basal area and any diversity measure. Even at the subplot level, there was no significant relationship observed between the diversity measures and distance to the nearest tree, presumably a surrogate for overstory density. The diameter (DBH) of the nearest tree exhibited a slight influence over the Shannon Index, and the nearest tree’s height was significantly related to evenness in each subplot. There were varied relationships between individual species and fire regime or nearest tree measurements. There was a definite, but statistically insignificant, trend of decreasing diversity with increasing years since the last burn.

  • ABSTRACT YOUNG, ELISHEBA. Fruit Quality
    ABSTRACT YOUNG, ELISHEBA. Fruit Quality Evaluation of a Mapping Population and Single Nucleotide Polymorphic (SNP) Marker Discovery in Blueberry (Vaccinium) Species. (Under the direction of Hamid Ashrafi). Blueberry breeders at NC State University have released several elite cultivars that have contributed to the estimated ~$70 M statewide farm-gate value. Blueberries belong to the Ericaceae family and the genus Vaccinium with several subgenera or sections. Many commercially important cultivars released today including the parents of the population in the current study are derived from the species in section Cyanococcus. However, these cultivars may include introgressed genetic materials from other species of other sections that yet need to be discovered. Traditionally, selection for desirable traits is accomplished using recurrent selection through subjective field evaluations. Although a successful means of cultivar development, statistically only one in 10,000 seedlings is chosen as a cultivar which requires significant time, land, and labor resources. The task is made more difficult with increased ploidy levels. As such, there is growing interest in the development of genomic tools that blueberry breeders can use to make selections for fruit quality attributes more efficiently. Recently, a genetic linkage map has been used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) in a diploid population segregating for chilling requirements and cold-hardiness. However, little is known about the genetic mechanisms responsible for QTLs that control fruit quality traits like firmness, sugar content, acidity, and berry size in a tetraploid population of blueberries. As such, part of the research at the NC State blueberry breeding program involves the genotyping and phenotyping of mapping populations that segregate for fruit quality-related traits.

  • Floristic Composition of the South-Central Florida Dry Prairie Landscape Steve L
    Floristic Composition of the South-Central Florida Dry Prairie Landscape Steve L. Orzell Avon Park Air Force Range, 29 South Blvd., Avon Park Air Force Range, FL 33825-5700 [email protected] Edwin L. Bridges Botanical and Ecological Consultant, 7752 Holly Tree Place NW, Bremerton, WA 98312-1063 [email protected] ABSTRACT Floristic composition of the Florida dry prairie landscape was compiled from 291 sites in nine south-central peninsular counties. Floristic lists were based upon field inventory and compilation from reliable sources to- taling 11,250 site and community type-specific observations and were analyzed by region (Kissimmee River, Desoto/Glades “Big Prairie,” and Myakka). The known vascular flora consists of 658 vascular plant taxa, rep- resenting 317 genera and 115 families. Families with the highest number of species are Poaceae (103), Asteraceae (78), Cyperaceae (76), Fabaceae (23), Scrophulariaceae (20), and Orchidaceae (18). The most diverse genera are Rhynchospora (29), Dichanthelium (17), Ludwigia (13), Xyris (12), and Andropogon (11). Of this flora 24 taxa are endemic to central or southern peninsular Florida, primarily within the pine savanna- flatwood/dry prairie landscape, and 41 taxa are of Floridian biotic affinity. Although most species are not re- gionally specific, a few (Carphephorus carnosus, Ctenium aromaticum, and Liatris spicata) appear to be ab- sent from the Myakka prairie region, while Marshallia tenuifolia appears to be absent from both the Desoto/ Glades and Myakka prairie regions. Within the dry prairie landscape Hypericum edisonianum is restricted to the Desoto/Glades region. A few other species somewhat differentiate between prairie regions; however, most occur in other habitats in the counties where they are absent or nearly absent from dry prairie.
