  • Aquatic Vascular Plant Species Distribution Maps
    Appendix 11.5.1: Aquatic Vascular Plant Species Distribution Maps These distribution maps are for 116 aquatic vascular macrophyte species (Table 1). Aquatic designation follows habitat descriptions in Haines and Vining (1998), and includes submergent, floating and some emergent species. See Appendix 11.4 for list of species. Also included in Appendix 11.4 is the number of HUC-10 watersheds from which each taxon has been recorded, and the county-level distributions. Data are from nine sources, as compiled in the MABP database (plus a few additional records derived from ancilliary information contained in reports from two fisheries surveys in the Upper St. John basin organized by The Nature Conservancy). With the exception of the University of Maine herbarium records, most locations represent point samples (coordinates were provided in data sources or derived by MABP from site descriptions in data sources). The herbarium data are identified only to township. In the species distribution maps, town-level records are indicated by center-points (centroids). Figure 1 on this page shows as polygons the towns where taxon records are identified only at the town level.

BACKGROUND and PURPOSE In an effort to encourage the protection of native Maine plants that are naturally reduced or low in number, the State Planning Office has compiled a list of endangered and threatened plants. Of Maine's approximately 1500 native vascular plant species, 155, or about 10%, are included on the Official List of Maine's Plants that are Endangered or Threatened. Of the species on the list, three are also listed at the federal level. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. has des·ignated the Furbish's Lousewort (Pedicularis furbishiae) and Small Whorled Pogonia (lsotria medeoloides) as Endangered species and the Prairie White-fringed Orchid (Platanthera leucophaea) as Threatened. Listing rare plants of a particular state or region is a process rather than an isolated and finite event.

Washington, DC 20240 The National list of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands represents the combined efforts of many biologists over the last decade to define the wetland flora of the United States. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initially developed the list in order to provide an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (FWS/OBS 79/31) to assist in the field identification of wetlands. Plant species that occur in wetlands, as used in the National List, are defined as species that have demonstrated an ability to achieve maturity and reproduce in an environment where all or portions of the soil within the root zone become, periodically or continuously, saturated or inundated during the growing season.

  • Chapter 19: Non-Tidal Wetlands
    Chapter 19: Non-tidal Wetlands by J. Pojar INTRODUCTION ................................................... 276 SHALLOW OPEN WATERS ......................................... 276 MARSH ............................................................ 277 FEN ............................................................... 277 SWAMP ............................................................ 278 BOG ............................................................... 278 LITERATURE CITED ............................................... 280 275 INTRODUCTION Most people are familiar with the terms ``marsh,'' ``swamp,'' and ``bog,'' but only relatively recently have these well-known landscape units been grouped together under the single term ``wetlands.'' We have no single, correct, ecologically sound de®nition for wetlands, primarily because they are so diverse and because the transition to uplands is often gradual. A functional de®nition of wetlands stresses that saturation with water is the dominant factor determining the nature of soil development and the type of plant and animal communities living in the soil and on its surface (Cowardin et al. 1979). The common denominator of most wetlands is soil or substrate that is at least periodically saturated with or covered by water. Thus, the National Wetland Working Group of Canada de®ned wetlands as ``lands having the water table at, near, or above the land surface or which are saturated for a long enough period to promote wetland or aquatic processes as indicated by hydric soils, hydrophilic vegetation and various kinds of biological activity which are adapted to the wet environment'' (Tarnocai 1980). We have adopted a simpler de®nition suitable for most of British Columbia after Runka and Lewis (1981): Wetlands are lands that are wet enough or inundated frequently enough to develop and support a distinctive natural vegetative cover that is in strong contrast to the adjacent matrix of better drained lands. Wetland classes recognized in Canada include shallow open waters, marsh, fen, swamp, and bog (Zoltai et al.

  • Seamboth-Introduction to Marine Species of the Northern Bothnian
    Introduction to marine species of the northern Bothnian Bay Nord Europeiska regionala utvecklingsfonden EUROPEISKA UNIONEN Preface This booklet was developed during the SEAmBOTH project. A project in which partners from Sweden and Finland mapped the sea floor and marine life of the northern Bothnian Bay in order to produce marine maps over the area. This introduction to marine species in the northern Bothnian Bay was made with the purpose of giving an easy, first glimpse into the underwater world of plants in the area. It also provides guidance to where different plants might be found and highlight their functions within the ecosystem. We hope the booklet will give you a better understanding of the incredible nature below the surface and inspire further reading, investigation, and exploration of it and its inhabitants. The SEAmBOTH project was funded by Interreg Nord and cofounded by the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management and Lapin liitto. The project was coordinated by Metsähallitus, while other partners were the County Administrative Board of Norrbotten, Geological Survey of Sweden, Geological Survey of Finland, Centre for Econo- mic Development, Transport and the Environment (North Ostrobothnia and Lapland), and the Finnish Environment Institute. The project started on May 1st, 2017 and finished on April 30th, 2020. Red list categories RE: Regionally Extinct CR: Critically Endangered EN: Endangered VU: Vulnerable NT: Near Threatened LC: Least Concern DD: Data Deficient Threatened species = CR, EN, VU Species are categorized in accordance with the most recent red list (2019).

  • 3. Freshwater Species and Ecosystems in Maine: an Overview
    3. Freshwater Species and Ecosystems in Maine: An Overview Glaciation produced much of the physical diversity in Maine’s landscape, but left it essentially devoid of plant and animal species. Aquatic habitats were “altered on an unprecedented scale, through the destruction of old systems and the widespread creation of new lakes and rivers (Bernatchez and Wilson 1998). Biological diversity in Maine today is the result of re-colonization of the region by fauna and flora following deglaciation approximately 13,000 years ago. Re- colonization occurred (and continues to occur) from a number of refugia in other parts of North America (e.g. Burian 1990, Hocutt and Wiley 1986). Because of the relatively recent retreat of the glaciers, species richness in many groups is lower in the Northeast than areas to the south. At the same time, however, Maine lies within a transition zone between south and north. This transition is clearly seen in forest types (Gawler et al. 1996) and is also evident in many of the state’s floral and faunal groups. The transitional nature of the state contributes to regional biodiversity. This chapter provides a general introduction to the four major biodiversity groups covered by MABP: vascular plants, fish, amphibians and reptiles, and macro-invertebrates. It focuses on (i) broad patterns of taxonomic diversity, (ii) current knowledge about the composition of aquatic ecological communities, and (iii) “high-value” components of the state’s freshwater biodiversity, including threatened and endangered species. Chapter 6 is an In-depth analyses of spatial and temporal patterns in aquatic biodiversity, along with a discussion of status and trends.

  • Botanical Inventory in Uapishka (Les Monts Groulx), Quebec
    Exploring the Eastern Alpine: Botanical inventory in Uapishka (Les Monts Groulx), Quebec 2018 Les Mehrhoff Botanical Research Fund Final Report Submitted by Matt Peters December 1, 2018 Matthew Peters Mehrhoff Fund Report – Uapishka Botanical Inventory Page 1 Introduction Alpine ecosystems and flora have long held a particular fascination for botanists as foci of exploration and research. Consequently, the flora of many northeastern North American alpine regions has been well catalogued, yet notable exceptions remain. Uapishka or the Monts Groulx in north central Quebec spans roughly 1,200 square miles making this rolling alpine plateau the largest area of low latitude alpine ecosystem in northeastern North America (Jones & Willey, 2012), yet its flora remains incompletely known. Access to the region, which lies about 450 miles north of Quebec City, just east of the iconic Manicougan impact crater, has improved since the late 1980’s with creation of the Quebec-Labrador Highway and development of a few trails from the highway through dense boreal forest to treeline. This spurred increased recreation as well as limited botanical inventory, and increasing awareness of the value of Uapishka led to improved conservation status, with about one third of the area now designated a provincial biodiversity reserve and UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. However, increased attention also has the potential to expand impacts from recreation or other uses in this largely trail-less alpine region. Thus, the initial conservation plan for the reserve identifies further basic biological inventory as a high priority for informing management and conservation (MDDEP, 2009). To date, members of a 2009 Flora Quebeca expedition have compiled the most complete flora of the region, incorporating earlier work by Lemieux and Maldague (1964), Lavoie (1984) and Grondin and Couillard (2003), resulting in a list of 215 vascular plant species (Flora Quebeca, 2011) to which Willey and Jones (2012) report two additions, bringing the known flora to 217.
