2019 Domain Management Plan Domain Management Plan 2019-2029 FINAL DRAFT 12/20/2019 Owner Contact: Amy Turner, Ph.D., CWB Director of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability The University of the South Sewanee, Tennessee Office: 931-598-1447 Office: Cleveland Annex 110C Email: [email protected] Reviewed by: The Nature Conservancy Forest Stewards Guild ____________________________________________________________________________ Tract Location: Franklin and Marion Counties, Tennessee Centroid Latitude 35.982963 Longitude -85.344382 Tract Size: 13,036 acres | 5,275 hectares Land Manager: Office of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability, The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee 2 Executive Summary The primary objective of this management plan is to provide a framework to outline future management and outline operations for the Office of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability (OESS) over the next ten years. In this plan, we will briefly introduce the physical and biological setting, past land use, and current uses of the Domain. The remainder of the plan consists of an assessment of the forest, which has been divided into six conservation areas. These conservation areas contain multiple management compartments, and the six areas have similarities in topographical position and past land use. Finally, the desired future condition and project summary of each conservation area and compartment has been outlined. Background The University of the South consists of an academic campus (382 acres) with adjacent commercial and residential areas (783 acres) that are embedded within and surrounded by diverse natural lands (11,838 acres). The term “Domain” is used interchangeably to describe both the entire ~13,000 acres and the 11,800-acre natural land matrix (also referred to as the “Greater Domain”). What makes the landscape of the Domain such a unique educational asset for the study of the environment is the continuum that exists with the human-built environment extending into this natural environment context. The size and complexity of land use on the Domain provides a unique opportunity to live and study where we wrestle with many of the environmental challenges that all communities face. Land-use planning, drinking water procurement, wastewater processing, food production, natural resource extraction, and biodiversity protection are all practiced on the Domain in microcosm. This juxtaposition of land use is leveraged by the Sewanee Integrated Program in the Environment to create innovative learning opportunities for all students. Over the past 120 years, seven management plans, one white paper, and a sustainability master plan have guided decision-making for Sewanee’s Domain, with the last management plan for the Domain having been produced in 2003. The intent of this document is to provide a framework for management for the next ten years. In the short-term (< 5 years), objectives for several upcoming management projects have been outlined with spatial information to avoid conflicts with ongoing research projects. In the long-term (> 5 years), potential projects are discussed that may or may not take place over time, but are included for long range planning These long-term projects will be further refined and solidified in an update to this plan in 2024. Over the next ten years, strategies may be adapted as projects to be implemented on the ground. Adaptive management allows OESS to utilize ground level, site specific monitoring of species and ecological conditions to influence future practices. It is a process that deals with uncertainty and changing conditions over time. If aspects of the planned management are shown by 3 monitoring or user feedback to conflict with our objectives, then we will collaboratively determine alternative courses of action. In reviewing prior efforts to guide management on the Domain, many of the goals from the 2012 Domain White Paper developed by the now defunct Natural Resource Advisory Committee were carried forward (NRAC 2012). These goals and values will guide the OESS in managing the Domain over the next ten years. Beyond the first goal of communication, Goals are listed without order of priority. Goals and Values 1. Maintain a transparent communication process where all stakeholders are involved or well informed of management and research activities on the Domain. 2. Employ adaptive management in a contemporary and exemplary fashion using the best available science and monitoring data. 3. Encourage cross disciplinary research and provide locations and logistical support to ensure that long-term research is protected. 4. Manage habitats to enhance, protect and promote biodiversity across the landscape. 5. Foster ecological communities that can be resilient in a changing climate. 6. Consider management to increase net carbon sequestration. 7. Integrate management into the curriculum so that student involvement is encouraged in all steps of the process from planning to implementation to ensure that the University’s education mission is achieved. 8. Ensure that management increases the total value of the forest (economic and ecological) over time. 9. Mitigate the effects of land use and management on the Domain’s culturally significant sites proactively. 10. Recognize that students of all disciplines can learn and understand the consequences of society’s natural resource consumption through responsible and active management of Domain resources. 11. Support student recreational use of the Domain and integrate the academic program with outdoor opportunities. 12. Demonstrate a sustainable flow of natural resources that can be utilized directly on the Domain where appropriate (e.g., timber products, biomass) and which offsets consumption of the University where appropriate (i.e., paper, coal, natural gas). 4 Summary of Future Management Actions Over the duration of this plan, the vast majority of the Domain’s forests will remain undisturbed by timber management. The plan focuses active management on areas where management has occurred previously and where significant deviation exists between current forest condition and desired ecological conditions as articulated by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in their climate resilience and vulnerability assessments. The plan includes strategic direction for habitat management using timber harvest, exotic species control, prescribed fire, and provides recommendations for recreational infrastructure improvements across the Domain. In each section examining our Conservation Areas, we provide a broad overview of the desired future conditions followed by the compartment summaries with management prescriptions, if applicable. Over the next 5 years, we propose prescribed fire in portions of 16 compartments and timber management is proposed in portions of 11 compartments. Substantial exotic species control is proposed in 4 compartments though some other exotic species control is anticipated throughout the property. Similarly, recreational infrastructure upgrades are anticipated in a number of compartments with major upgrades in at least 6 compartments. Exact acreages of all prescribed fires and harvests will be determined through collaboration with University personnel and our external collaborators. Domain Collaborative Group and Domain Research Approval Process This document should be viewed as a curricular tool as much as a land management one. The plan gives faculty the necessary lead time to more fully realize the potential of the Domain in their course offerings, and gives them the necessary context to integrate monitoring and research on the Domain. To facilitate this integration, The Domain Collaborative Group has been created to lead efforts to integrate more fully the management of the Domain into the academic curriculum and maximize opportunities for faculty discussion and student engagement and communication across the institution. The group consists of faculty and staff chosen to represent a broad spectrum of environmental disciplines, and will meet monthly to discuss collaborative opportunities and communicate OESS activities across the campus. Additionally, there is a review process for ALL research projects that are to take place on the Domain. All outside entities, faculty, staff, and students are required to submit a short notification email to [email protected] or utilize the proposal form at http://www.sewanee.edu/offices/oess/domain/research/ . This notification and review is intended to minimize user conflicts with other activities and investigators and allow the Domain Collaborative Group to be informed about partnership opportunities. 5 Credits for Authorship Most of the text of this document was written or compiled by Amy Turner and Nate Wilson of the Office of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability and Ken Smith of the Department of Earth and Environmental Systems. Sarah Sherwood, University Archaeologist, authored the sections about cultural resources, and Chris Van de Ven, Molly Elkins, and Will Godsey of the Landscape Analysis Laboratory (LAL) developed many of the maps found throughout the document. Ann Bradley of the LAL provided several historical documents from the Domain History Project.

  • "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.

  • Cereal Rust Bulletin Mailing List Next Season, Please Return the Enclosed Card by September 1, 1984
    CEREAL RUST Report No: 1 BULLETIN April 17, 1984 From: Issued By: CEREAL RUST LABORATORY AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE U, S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, ST. PAUL 55108 (In cooperation with the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station) The cold winter and cool spring weather has slowed development of small grains to 1-2 weeks behind normal across the southern United States. In most of this region, moisture has been adequate but in south Texas the crop is under moisture stress. In the central and northern U.S. wheat growing areas, the winter was cold with spotty snow cover. In southern Nebraska and ~orthern Kansas, winter k i 11 i ng was more severe than normal due to the lack of snow cover. In the central plains, spring seeding of oats and barley is in full swing. In the northern plains, the initial planting of spring grains started but was delayed by rains. Warm drying weather should soon result in the resumption of planting. Wheat stem rust--In 1984, the first wheat stem rust was observed in McNair 701 disease detection plots at Victoria and Uvalde, Texas, experiment stations on April 7. At the Victoria site, the rust overwintered and with the increase in spring temperatures the rust increased to the point where it killed the plants. In the Uvalde plots, the rust infection was approximately three weeks old. Scattered pustules developed from spores that were deposited with rainfall. These spores probably originated some distance from the plot. These are the only reports of wheat stem rust in the United States at the present time.

    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.

  • Linking Conservation Priorities to Wetland and Stream Mitigation Decisions
    A watershed planning approach for the Stones River, Tennessee Linking Conservation Priorities to Wetland and Stream Mitigation Decisions A watershed planning approach for the Stones River, Tennessee A watershed planning approach for the Stones River, Tennessee Acknowledgements The authors wish to acknowledge the assistance of several individuals and agencies that have contributed to the design and execution of this project. Kathleen Kuná with the regulatory branch of the Nashville District Corps of Engineers enthusiastically provided her leadership at the stakeholder workshop and her support through the plan’s development and review. Mike Lee with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Division of Water Pollution Control (TDEC-WPC) guided our methodological approach and shared knowledge from his years of experience with wetland permitting decisions. Members of the Tennessee Interagency Review Team for mitigation engaged with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) planning team during critical planning phases, advised us on available data, and critiqued our methodology and analysis results. These team members included Kim Pilarski - Tennessee Valley Authority, Rob Todd – Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Robbie Sykes – U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Mike Zeman – U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service. Dr. Ken Morgan from Tennessee Technological University shared his technical knowledge regarding wetland field determinations and the proper applications of spatial data. Dan Eagar with the TDEC-WPC’s Natural Resources section participated in technical review meetings provided advice on stream mitigation regulatory issues. The Environmental Law Institute (ELI) has conducted research on wetland mitigation for over two decades. This project benefitted greatly from ELI’s efforts and publications on many aspects of wetland laws and regulations.
