Human sized Sheep’s Wool Nests May 2019 Sheep’s wool and farmers mark paint Aprox 8cm diameter (palm sized) Sheep’s Wool Nests. Wool collected from the west coast of Ireland. Sheep are grazed on rugged places. Land often considered unsuitable for other kinds of farming and food production. Places in which people have struggled to survive off the land and make ends meet. Many survive off subsidies. And yet often these same subsidies encourage farmers to undermine the biodiversity and long term sustainability of the very land they are farming. Through pesticide use, artificial fertilisers, mono-crops and hedge slashing for extra inches of field. These guardians of the land and of food production have their arms twisted behind their backs. How can we change the story so that farmers can farm the land they love, and which has often been in the care of their families for generations, providing food for us all, whilst simultaneously protecting and nurturing that land for the future and making a decent living at the same time? I’ve heard this story here and back home in Wales. We must work together, with respect for traditional cultures and respect for the land itself, to ensure a sustainable future for food production and the lives of those producing it. All flourishing is mutual. Cwm Rhaiadr Nest June 2019 Sheep’s wool and farmers mark paint Aprox 20cm diameter The wool this nest is made of was collected by my friend who is a shephard from a farm that he works on in the mountains of mid Wales. The people who work this land lost their son a few years back. He would have inherited the farm. Now they are retiring from their tenancy and leaving the valley. Their story makes me think about how a family is connected to land over generations, and what happens to the heart, and the soul, and the soil when these connections are severed. What is lost when a child dies. When the nest is empty. What home means. This wool is from Glaspwll, Blue Pool. Grief and loss can feel like a bottomless blue pool. I offer this nest up as a resting place for all those whose grief has made them feel homeless. Fleet May 2019 Beach clean baskets made from old fishing nets found on beaches in South West Ireland.

  • Riparian Bryophytes of the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest in the Western Cascades, Oregon
    The Bryologist 99(2), pp. 226-235 Copyright © 1996 by the American Bryological and Lichenological Society, Inc. Riparian Bryophytes of the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest in the Western Cascades, Oregon BENGT GUNNAR JONSSON I Department of Forest Science, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 Abstract. The knowledge of the distribution and habitat demands for bryophytes in the Pacific Northwest is scarce, and few published quantitative accounts of the flora are present. The present paper includes habitat description, elevational range, substrate preference, and frequency esti- mates for more than 130 riparian mosses and liverworts found in old-growth Pseudotsuga-Tsuga forests of the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon. The data are based on 360 samples distributed among 42 sites covering 1st to 5th order streams and 420 to 1250 m. TWINSPAN analysis resulted in 6 sample groups, representing samples from different elevations, geomorphic surfaces, and stream sizes. The most common mosses are Eurhynchium oreganum, Isothecium stoloniferum, Hypnum circinale, and Dicranum fuscescens. Among the hepatics Scapania bolan- deri, Cephalozia lunulifolia, and Porella navicularis are the most abundant species. Most species are rare at both site and sampte gtot (ever; and this is especially true for acrocarps where more than one-third of the observed species occurred in only one or two sites orland samples. Four of the occurring species (i.e., Antitrichia curtipendula, Buxbaumia piperi, Douinia ovata, and Ptili- dium californicum) are listed for special management and/or regional surveys. Bryophytes constitute an important and conspic- a wide range of different substrates, disturbance uous component of old-growth forests in the Pacific patterns, and a moist microclimate are important Northwest (Lesica et al.

  • Systematics and Ecology of the Moss Genus Scleropodium (Brachytheciaceae)
    Systematics and ecology of the moss genus Scleropodium (Brachytheciaceae) By Benjamin Elias Carter A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Brent D. Mishler, Chair Professor Bruce G. Baldwin Professor Chelsea D. Specht Spring 2012 Abstract Systematics and ecology of the moss genus Scleropodium (Brachytheciaceae) By Benjamin Elias Carter Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Brent D. Mishler, Chair Scleropodium is a genus of six species in the Brachytheciaceae. Although they are common in north temperate zones, they have not received monographic treatment in over a century. The aims of this study were to test species circumscriptions within the genus with molecular data, complete a thorough global taxonomic treatment of the genus, and to quantitatively investigate the ecological preferences of the species. A molecular phylogenetic study was conducted using 104 individuals spanning the range of morphological variation and the geographic extent of the genus. Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses and a statistical parsimony network analysis of ITS and the chloroplast rps4, bsbA2 and trnG regions were performed. Although slight differences were found among analyses, there were six clear molecular groups. Five of these corresponded directly to the species Scleropodium californicum, S. cespitans, S. julaceum, S. obtusifolium and S. touretii. The sixth species, S. occidentale, is new to science and is described here. It is similar in ecology and morphology to S. obtusifolium, but has several diagnostic features in both molecular markers and morphological characters.

Ignatov, Elena A. Ignatova, Oxana I. Kuznetsova & Vladimir E. Fedosov On moss genera Hylocomiadelphus Ochyra & Stebel and Rhytidiadelphus (Limpr.) Warnst. – Acta Mus. Siles. Sci. Natur., 68: 123-134, 2019. Abstract: The moss family Hylocomiaceae is studied for the generic level taxonomy within a molecular phylogenetic approach. We confirm segregating of the species formerly known as Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus to Hylocomiadelphus Ochyra & Stebel from the genus Rhytidiadelphus . Hylocomiadelphus forms a clade with Loeskeobryum and Meteoriella , sharing with both genera cordate to auriculate leaf bases and non-squarrose leaves, and with the former undulate leaves and reticulate exostome teeth ornamentation. However, Loeskeobryum differs from Hylocomiadelphus in having paraphyllia, while Meteoriella has a straight capsule and reduced peristome, likely caused by its epiphytic ecology. In the group of species closely related to R. squarrosus , in addition to R. subpinnatus , the third species with North Pacific distribution is described as R. pacificum . Macrothamnium is found deeply nested in Rhytidiadelphus , although no nomenclatural implications are suggested at the moment due to insufficient sampling. Hylocomium splendens var. splendens and var. obtusifolium were found intermingled in the phylogenetic tree, indicating no correlation between morphology and variation in ITS region, thus supporting a view that these taxa are merely environmentally induced morphs. Key words: bryophytes, Rhytidiadelphus , Hylocomiadelphus , Hylocomium , Hylocomiaceae, taxono- my, molecular phylogeny, phytogeography, new species, new genera, nomenclature Introduction Despite that the moss family Hylocomiaceae M.

  • Inventory for Special Status Bryophyte Species
    INVENTORY FOR SPECIAL STATUS BRYOPHYTE SPECIES Report to Eugene District, Bureau of Land Management John A. Christy November 2006 1 Acknowledgements Nancy Sawtelle and Douglas Goldenberg provided funding and logistical support for this project, and Ashton Christy provided invaluable assistance in the field. 2 INVENTORY FOR SPECIAL STATUS BRYOPHYTE SPECIES, EUGENE DISTRICT BLM John A. Christy November 2006 Summary Eight sites on the Eugene BLM District were inventoried for Special Status bryophyte species, four on the east (Cascade) side of the District, and four on the west (Coast Range) side. Sites were selected by BLM in areas of high annual precipitation. The moss Fissidens pauperculus was found at two of the Coast Range sites, and the lichen Hydrothyria venosa was found at one of the Cascades sites. Suitable habitat for eight other target Special Status species was observed at all sites inventoried, but additional species were not detected. Background The Bureau of Land Management’s Special Status Plant Program has identified several species of bryophytes of conservation concern that are suspected to occur on the Eugene District. These have not been confirmed from the district and require the skills of a specialist to locate and identify them. Finding these species on the Eugene District would increase BLM's knowledge base and would inform managers about the likelihood of habitat to support these species and whether field surveys are needed for subsequent efforts. BLM contracted with John Christy to conduct intuitive controlled surveys for these species. Targeted habitat was old growth and late-successional stands of Douglas fir and hemlock that had not been inventoried previously.
