We conducted an experiment using potted seedlings grown without shade, or under low, KEY WORDS moderate, or heavy shade enclosures. Shade did not affect revegetation, coastal strand, propagation, light shoot growth, or leaf or stem dry mass. Plants subjected to all levels of shade, however, had 40% to 70% less root dry NOMENCLATURE mass and about 50% lower root-to-shoot ratios than non- ITIS (2002) shaded plants. Moreover, the roots of non-shaded plants had 2 to 4 times more soluble sugars and starch than plants grown in shade. These findings suggest that when water and Figure 1.

Freshly harvested seeds from cultivated and wild plants can germinate subtropical American genus that easily in a greenhouse under South Florida ambient conditions. A higher germination belongs to the morning-glory family, success after short-term seed storage suggests an after-ripening effect; however, Convolvulaceae. There are 80 to 100 orthodox methods are acceptable for long-term storage. Soaking treatments do not species in this genus, and J. reclinata House, affect overall germination. Cuttings can produce new plants when treated with also known as beach cluster-vine or beach rooting hormone and planted in perlite.

  • Conservation, Aquifer Recharge and Drainage Element
    CONSERVATION, AQUIFER RECHARGE AND DRAINAGE ELEMENT Introduction It is the intent of this Element to identify, conserve, appropriately use, protect and restore the biological, geological and hydrological resources of Miami-Dade County. Since the adoption of the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) in 1975, Miami-Dade County has been committed to protection of environmentally sensitive wetlands and aquifer recharge and water storage areas. Within the past decade, protecting and restoring environmentally sensitive uplands has been recognized as important to the County's present and future. Since 1975, Miami-Dade County has sought to channel growth toward those areas that are most intrinsically suited for development. This Element and the proposed natural resources objectives, policies and maps in the Land Use Element and Coastal Management Element continue that established trend. The environmental sensitivity of Miami-Dade County is underscored by the fact that the urban portion lies between two national parks, Everglades and Biscayne National Parks, and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The close proximity of an expanding urbanized area to national and State resource-based parks, and over 6,000 acres of natural areas within County parks, presents a unique challenge to Miami-Dade County to provide sound management. The County has addressed this challenge in several ways including working closely with other public and private sector agencies and groups to obtain a goal of sustainability. The close relationship of tourism

It was popularized as an ornamental following its introduction into Florida during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The lag period between the introduction of Brazilian peppertree, and its aggressive spread is likely a result of hybridization, natural selection of well adapted genotypes, and release from natural enemies. As its name would suggest, Brazilian peppertree is native to South America, where it is found in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.

  • Rare Plants of St. Lucie County Field Guide
    Rare Plants of St. Lucie County Field Guide Steven W. Woodmansee [email protected] October 20, 2007 Submitted by The Institute for Regional Conservation 22601 S.W. 152 Avenue, Miami, Florida 33170 George D. Gann, Executive Director Produced and published for: St. Lucie County Department of Environmental Resources, Fort Pierce, Florida PO Number P2810306 Chapter 1: Rare Plants in St. Lucie County and surrounding area overview Introduction St. Lucie County is comprised of a mosaic of habitats. Since the occupation by early pioneers to the 1970’s much of the habitat was adapted or converted for agricultural practices such as farming as well as cattle raising. Urban development centered mostly in the vicinity of Fort Pierce. Recently urban sprawl has been rampant, especially in the vicinity of Port St. Lucie. With the onslaught of the recent surge of human development and the need for housing combined with exotic pest plant invasions, many of these habitats have become impacted and/or destroyed threatening many of the rare plant species. The intent of this field guide is to provide a quick useful resource for identifying rare state (Florida) listed plants documented within St. Lucie County. Habitats Historically the habitats in St. Lucie County primarily consisted of five types (Figure 1). Dominant habitats were flatwoods and dry prairie throughout most of the County. (Myers and Ewel, 1990; Davis, 1967; Watts and Stankey, 1977). Additional habitats include beach dune, coastal strand, maritime hammock, and tidal swamps on Hutchinson Island on the eastern coast. The Indian River Lagoon region comprised of Atlantic coastal ridge just west of the Lagoon consisting of scrub, scrubby flatwoods, and marshes.
