  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Peanuts and Prestige on the Peruvian North Coast: the Archaeology of Peanuts at Huaca Gallinazo (V-59) and Huaca Santa Clara (V-67)
    PEANUTS AND PRESTIGE ON THE PERUVIAN NORTH COAST: THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF PEANUTS AT HUACA GALLINAZO (V-59) AND HUACA SANTA CLARA (V-67) by Lindi Jaclyn Masur B.A. (Hons), The University of Western Ontario, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2012 © Lindi Jaclyn Masur, 2012 i ABSTRACT This thesis explores the role that a single species of plant, the peanut (Arachis hypogaea), played in pre-Hispanic North Coast communities of the Andes. Through a literature review of ethnohistoric accounts, Moche iconographic interpretation, and nutritional analysis, I explore the symbolic importance of the peanut, as well as other special properties that may have contributed to peanuts’ luxury status in the pre-Hispanic North Coast. This study documents the peanut’s use not only as a comestible, but also as a prestige good used in competitive feasts and for veneration of the dead. I show how the peanut was used both practically and symbolically in order to create and reify status differences between elites and commoners, and how this trend extends into the South Coast. Finally, I provide evidence for peanuts’ prestige association through a case study of the archaeobotanical remains from Huaca Gallinazo (V-59) and Huaca Santa Clara (V-67), two important Early Intermediate Period sites located in the Virú Valley and that were part of the Virú polity. ii PREFACE This research was funded in part by a Joseph-Armand Bombardier CGS – Master’s Award scholarship (award number #766-2011-4276) from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and a University of British Columbia Faculty of Arts Graduate Entrance Scholarship.

  • Protected Areas and the Challenge of Conserving Crop Wild Relatives
    PARKS 2012 Vol 18.1 PROTECTED AREAS AND THE CHALLENGE OF CONSERVING CROP WILD RELATIVES Danny Hunter1*, Nigel Maxted2, Vernon Heywood3, Shelagh Kell2 and Teresa Borelli1 * Corresponding author, [email protected] 1 Bioversity International, Rome, Italy 2 School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT, United Kingdom 3 School of Biological Sciences, University of Reading, Reading RG6 6AS, United Kingdom ABSTRACT Crop wild relatives are a critical resource for sustaining future food security. It is widely recognized that many of the world’s protected areas contain CWR diversity. Despite this, it has not yet proved possible to undertake significant actions to conserve the CWR they contain. Many challenges and obstacles need to be addressed in order to improve this situation. Recent initiatives have started to address these challenges and uncovered some key lessons. Still, the need for action is urgent and the paper concludes by drawing attention to the need for a global approach to conserving priority and threatened CWR in the wild. INTRODUCTION worth noting that the same study found breeders’ use of CWR taxa was increasing year on year, even though it Crop wild relatives (CWR) - wild plant species closely was recognized that they were still far from being related to crops to which they may contribute beneficial systematically exploited. genes - constitute an enormous reservoir of genetic variation for crop improvement and are an important Some idea of the scale of benefits may be obtained from socio-economic resource. Genes from wild plants have published estimates referring to a selected number of provided crops with resistance to many pests and crops.

  • Effect of Phosphorus Fertilization on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Colonization of Zeyheria Tuberculosa a Native Species in Brazil’S Forest

Antônio Carlos, 6627, Pampulha, 31270-901, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil 2Institute of Biological Sciences, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil Abstract: A greenhouse experiment was done to assess the mycotrophy in native soil of Zeyheria tuberculosa, a tree with potential use in recuperation of degraded tropical lands throughout agroforestry and agrosilvopastoral systems. The effects of triple superphosphate fertilization on the growth and colonization of this species were evaluated. The fertilized seedlings presented higher height and dry matter. Acaulospora, Gigaspora, Glomus, Scutellospora and Racocetra were recorded at both conditions (fertilized and unfertilized); however, the rhizosphere of Z. tuberculosa was found to be dominated by Glomus. The higher percentage of root colonization as well as the presence of arbuscules and other arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) structures confirmed that Z. tuberculosa is an AM plant. Key words: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Tropical tree species Phosphorus fertilization Zeyheria tuberculosa Agroforestry INTRODUCTION uptake by the host plant under P limiting conditions.

Moreover, AM increase the uptake colonization or that are not dependent of symbioses for of other nutrients, the tolerance to drought and the growth [1].

  • Natural Regeneration of Canopy Trees in a Tropical Dry Forest in Bolivia
    NATURAL REGENERATION OF CANOPY TREES IN A TROPICAL DRY FOREST IN BOLIVIA By BONIFACIO MOSTACEDO A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2007 1 © 2007 Bonifacio Mostacedo 2 To my parents for raising me with love and making me what I am today. To my wife, who brings great joy into my life. To my children, for the inspiration and strength they gave me throughout the long process of completing this dissertation. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS So many people contributed to this work that I cannot acknowledge them all by name but I do want to single out a few. First of all, I would like to thank my mentor and principal supervisor Francis E. “Jack” Putz for asking me difficult questions and pushing me to think and write logically. He helped me adjust to life in Gainesville and was a good friend throughout my career as a graduate student. Particularly while I was trying to finish my dissertation, he provided a great deal of support and encouragement. I hope that we can continue to work together in the future. I also want to thank the members of my advisory committee, Kaoru Kitajima, Karen Kainer, Emilio Bruna, and Colin Chapman, for always being available to provide me guidance. For much of the past decade, Todd Fredericksen has been a key person in my life. We spent a great deal of time together in various forests in Bolivia conducting what I believe to be exciting research and teaching what I hope were useful field courses.
