Botanical Memo
Appendix C Botanical Memo 10 May 2015 To Willow Creek Community Service District Copy to Patrick Kaspari, Senior Project Manager, GHD Inc. From Cara Scott, Botanist, GHD Inc. Tel 707.443.8326 Subject Special-Status Plant Species Survey and Mapping for Job no. 8410746.05 the Downtown Wastewater Development Project, Willow Creek, CA 1 Introduction On April 10 and May 8, 2015, special-status plant surveys and mapping were conducted for the proposed Downtown Wastewater Development Project in Willow Creek, Humboldt County, California . This survey attempted to identify all vascular plants within the project boundary and to document the presence of special-status plants. The purpose of these surveys was to map presence of special-status plant species and to document the approximate number of individuals and percent cover for each occurrence observed. The results will be used to reduce impacts associated with project construction and to avoid special-status plant populations 1.1 Location The unincorporated community of Willow Creek is located in Humboldt County approximately 45 miles northeast of Eureka, California as shown in Figure 1, Attachment 1. Willow Creek is situated along the Trinity River, which is part of the Klamath River Basin. The Willow Creek Community Services District (WCCSD or District) service area or district boundary is shown on Figure 2 and primarily consists of properties along State Highways 299 and 96. The Pacific Ocean is located approximately 26 miles to the west. The site corresponds to portions of Sections 32 and 33, Township 7 North, Range 5 East on the USGS 7.5 Minute Willow Creek and Salyer quadrangles. -
Salix Caprea (Goat Willow, Great Sallow, Pussy Willow) Goat Willow Is a Small Multi Stemmed Deciduous Tree Native to Europe and Western Asia
Salix caprea (Goat Willow, Great Sallow, Pussy Willow) Goat willow is a small multi stemmed deciduous tree native to Europe and western Asia. It is growing a silky male flower called catkins in early spring Female and male flower grows in a different tree.The leaves are dark green and hairy underneath. Mainly the weeping cultivate is used in gardens. It likes sun and well-drained soil, and benefits from a severe pruning every 2 or 3 years.

Conocarpus Erectus
Conocarpus erectus (Button Mangrove, Green Buttonwood) Button mangrove is a broadleaf evergreen trees which can withstand drought, salt, heat and high winds.The fruit looks like a dried raspberry or a pine cone. Its flaky brown bark is very attractive. Throughout the year, greenish-white and purple flowers are produced, but they are not noticeable. Due to the high tolerance of heat and drought it is used a lot in hot and arid climate as hedge, street tree or windbreak.

Samples were collected from four sampling sites representing area of high traffic density, area future away from traffic and Industrial area. Samples were collected in two stages (May and October) in 2011 for chemical analysis. Samples from village near the city also analyzed for comparison. Based on the results, the stages of leaf sampling did not showed any significant effect on the concentration of the measured heavy metals in leaf samples. Chemical analysis of soil samples at depth of 0-10cm showed that concentration of most of these elements was lower than the maximum recommended levels. Concentrations of measured heavy metals in washed leaves were lower than those of unwashed leaves of Conocarpus and different was significant. In spite of that, there was no significant correlation between the concentrations of heavy metals in washed leaves and soil samples. -

Oaks (Quercus Spp.): a Brief History
Publication WSFNR-20-25A April 2020 Oaks (Quercus spp.): A Brief History Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care / University Hill Fellow University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources Quercus (oak) is the largest tree genus in temperate and sub-tropical areas of the Northern Hemisphere with an extensive distribution. (Denk et.al. 2010) Oaks are the most dominant trees of North America both in species number and biomass. (Hipp et.al. 2018) The three North America oak groups (white, red / black, and golden-cup) represent roughly 60% (~255) of the ~435 species within the Quercus genus worldwide. (Hipp et.al. 2018; McVay et.al. 2017a) Oak group development over time helped determine current species, and can suggest relationships which foster hybridization. The red / black and white oaks developed during a warm phase in global climate at high latitudes in what today is the boreal forest zone. From this northern location, both oak groups spread together southward across the continent splitting into a large eastern United States pathway, and much smaller western and far western paths. Both species groups spread into the eastern United States, then southward, and continued into Mexico and Central America as far as Columbia. (Hipp et.al. 2018) Today, Mexico is considered the world center of oak diversity. (Hipp et.al. 2018) Figure 1 shows genus, sub-genus and sections of Quercus (oak). History of Oak Species Groups Oaks developed under much different climates and environments than today. By examining how oaks developed and diversified into small, closely related groups, the native set of Georgia oak species can be better appreciated and understood in how they are related, share gene sets, or hybridize. -

Rationale for the study Vietnam is located in the tropical monsoon climate, geographic location with complex terrain and many different ecological regions, so the flora is very diverse and rich. From the late 18th century up to now, there have been many studies on plant taxonomy in our country, including new research results that have contributed to the necessary scientific basis for a number of related fields such as: conservation of biodiversity, ecology, agriculture, forestry, medicine, ... and management such as planning, building economic development, ... In the world, there are many completed and systematic work on plant taxonomy, which are the National Floras. That is the most up-to-date document on the specimen and latest information, using the modern methods of plants classification in each country, ... In Vietnam, 21 volumes The Flora of Vietnam have been published (2000- 2017), which included 3639 species, 665 genera belonging to 57 families of plant.
