  • Aminopyralid Ecological Risk Assessment Final
    Aminopyralid Ecological Risk Assessment Final U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Washington, D.C. December 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The United States Department of the Interior (USDOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) administers about 247.9 million acres in 17 western states in the continental United States (U.S.) and Alaska. One of the BLM’s highest priorities is to promote ecosystem health, and one of the greatest obstacles to achieving this goal is the rapid expansion of invasive plants (including noxious weeds and other plants not native to an area) across public lands. These invasive plants can dominate and often cause permanent damage to natural plant communities. If not eradicated or controlled, invasive plants will jeopardize the health of public lands and the activities that occur on them. Herbicides are one method employed by the BLM to control these plants. In 2007, the BLM published the Vegetation Treatments Using Herbicides on Bureau of Land Management Lands in 17 Western States Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (17-States PEIS). The Record of Decision (ROD) for the 17-States PEIS allowed the BLM to use 18 herbicide active ingredients available for a full range of vegetation treatments in 17 western states. In the ROD, the BLM also identified a protocol for identifying, evaluating, and using new herbicide active ingredients. Under the protocol, the BLM would not be allowed to use a new herbicide active ingredient until the agency 1) assessed the hazards and risks from using the new herbicide active ingredient, and 2) prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act to assess the impacts of using new herbicide active ingredient on the natural, cultural, and social environment.

Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 299 p. The 51 papers in this proceedings include an introductory keynote paper on ecotones and hybrid zones and a final paper describing the mid-symposium field trip as well as collections of papers on ecotones and hybrid zones (15), population biology (6), community ecology (19), and community rehabilitation and restoration (9). All of the papers focus on wildland shrub ecosystems; 14 of the papers deal with one aspect or another of sagebrush (subgenus Tridentatae of Artemisia) ecosystems. The field trip consisted of descriptions of biology, ecology, and geology of a big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) hybrid zone between two subspecies (A. tridentata ssp. tridentata and A. t. ssp. vaseyana) in Salt Creek Canyon, Wasatch Mountains, Uinta National Forest, Utah, and the ecotonal or clinal vegetation gradient of the Great Basin Experimental Range, Manti-La Sal National Forest, Utah, together with its historical significance. The papers were presented at the 10th Wildland Shrub Symposium: Shrubland Ecotones, at Snow College, Ephraim, UT, August 12–14, 1998. Keywords: wildland shrubs, ecotone, hybrid zone, population biology, community ecology, restoration, rehabilitation. Acknowledgments The symposium, field trip, and subsequent publication of these proceedings were facilitated by many people and organizations.

As part of this program, the BLM is proposing the use of ten herbicide active ingredients (a.i.) to control invasive plants and noxious weeds on approximately one million of the 6 million acres proposed for treatment. The BLM and its contractor, ENSR, are preparing a Vegetation Treatments Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate this and other proposed vegetation treatment methods and alternatives on lands managed by the BLM in the western continental US and Alaska.

  • Patterns in Bird Community Structure Related to Restoration of Minnesota Dry Oak Savannas and Across a Prairie to Oak Woodland E
    RESEARCH ARTICLE ABSTRACT: There is limited understanding of the influence of fire and vegetation structure on bird communities in dry oak (Quercus spp.) savannas of the Upper Midwest and whether bird communities in restored savanna habitats are similar to those in remnant savannas. During the 2001 and 2002 breeding seasons, we examined the relationship between bird communities and environmental variables, includ­ • ing vegetation characteristics and site prescribed-burn frequencies, across a habitat gradient in dry oak savannas in central Minnesota. The habitat gradient we studied went from: (1) prairie to (2) remnant Patterns in bird oak savanna to (3) oak woodland undergoing savanna restoration via fire or mechanical removal of woody vegetation to (4) oak woodland. We conducted fixed-radius point counts (n = 120) within habitats community structure with either prairie groundcover or predominately oak canopy. We described canopy and groundcover characteristics at a sub-sample (n = 28) of non-prairie points, and collected canopy and woody species related to restoration richness data and prescribed-bum frequencies over the past 20 years for all points. Observed bird com­ munities were most strongly correlated with canopy cover and bum frequency and, to a lesser extent, of Minnesota dry oak attributes of the shrub component. Most savanna points had bird communities that were distinct from those found at oak woodland or oak woodland points undergoing restoration via burning. Savanna points savannas and across similar to oak woodland points were in areas managed by periodic cutting rather than burning. Remnant savanna bird communities were more strongly associated with prescribed burning than those in other a prairie to oak habitat types, but it appeared that most oak woodlands that had undergone ~ 20 years of prescribed burning remained ecologically distinct from remnant savannas.

  • The Early Eocene London Clay Formation Mollusc Fauna of the Former Bursledon Brickworks, Lower Swanwick, Hampshire
    Tertiary Research 17 (3+4) 75-137 15 Plates, 1 Text fig. 1 Table Leiden January 1997 The Early Eocene London Clay Formation mollusc fauna of the former Bursledon Brickworks, Lower Swanwick, Hampshire PAUL JEFFERY AND STEVE TRACEY Abstract:.Construction of the Civil Aviation Authority's new en-route centre on the site of the former Bursledon Brickworks at Lower Swanwick, during 1991-1992, re-exposed sections in the London Clay unavailable since this site fell into disuse in 1974. New material collected from the recent excavations has prompted a reappraisal of the mollusc fauna of this site. This is reviewed along with material collected during the working life of the brickworks and now held in the Natural History Museum, London. The mollusc fauna consists of 146 species and is listed in systematic order, with an indication of local stratigraphic range and palaeoecological interpretation. The taphonomy of the mollusc fauna is discussed, and a number of notes given detailing taxonomic revisions. Three new species of bivalve are described: Semeloidea curryi, Siliqua kingi and Abra (Syndosmya) cygnea and three gastropods: Entomope semipunctata, Solariorbis lawsoni and Epalxis kempi. Lectotypes are designated for Eopleurotoma simillima crassilinea and Microdrillia tricincta. The majority of the fauna is illustrated photographically, in most cases for the first time. P.

The available data on mercury contamination of birds in western North America were synthesized. Original data from multiple databases were obtained and a literature review was conducted to obtain additional mercury concentrations. In total, 29219 original bird mercury concentrations from 225 species were compiled, and an additional 1712 mean mercury concentrations, representing 19998 individuals and 176 species, from 200 publications were obtained.
