Beside the limitation imposed in the use of chemical tool, the whole approach in organic weed management should be substantially different. Full weed eradication shouldn’t be a goal (Blake, 1990), there are obviously conflicts between completely weed eradication and other aims of the organic system (Mattsson et al., 1990; Colquhoun & Bellinder, 1996).

As culmination it is also an impetus to continue to that journey. In achieving this personal goal many people, supervisors, friends, family and University colleagues have been instrumental in contributing to the final product. The initial motivation and inspiration for me to start this study was given by Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford, and my friend Alison Howman. For that challenge I thank you. I am deeply indebted to my three supervisors Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford and Dr. Aidan Davison. Each in their individual, concerted and special way guided me to this omega point.

Arranging the vehicles took a little longer than expected, but once sorted we were on our way, heading to Ponte Leccia. Here we had a coffee stop and Andrew bought some cheese, meat and bread. We then headed across the top of the island to l’Ile-Rousse, where we stopped at the farmer’s market to buy fruit and salad. We then pushed on to our lunch stop near Galeria. Here we saw a variety of birds, wall lizards and some endemic plants: Corsican Storksbill (Erodium corsicum) and Sea Lavender (Limonium corsicum). We then drove a few hundred yards to see if there was a way down to some wetland, but unfortunately there was not. We did hear Cetti’s Warbler and saw a pair of Long-tailed Tits. Our next stop was on the coastal road at one of the U bends at the head of one of the many valleys we had to negotiate. Here were even more endemic plants, though we stopped for the Wild Vine (Vitis riparia) and saw the Illyrian Sea Lily (Pancratium Illyricum).

  • Red List of Vascular Plants of the Czech Republic: 3Rd Edition

(2012): Red List of vascular plants of the Czech Republic: 3rd edition. – Preslia 84: 631–645. The knowledge of the flora of the Czech Republic has substantially improved since the second ver- sion of the national Red List was published, mainly due to large-scale field recording during the last decade and the resulting large national databases. In this paper, an updated Red List is presented and compared with the previous editions of 1979 and 2000. The complete updated Red List consists of 1720 taxa (listed in Electronic Appendix 1), accounting for more then a half (59.2%) of the native flora of the Czech Republic. Of the Red-Listed taxa, 156 (9.1% of the total number on the list) are in the A categories, which include taxa that have vanished from the flora or are not known to occur at present, 471 (27.4%) are classified as critically threatened, 357 (20.8%) as threatened and 356 (20.7%) as endangered. From 1979 to 2000 to 2012, there has been an increase in the total number of taxa included in the Red List (from 1190 to 1627 to 1720) and in most categories, mainly for the following reasons: (i) The continuing human pressure on many natural and semi-natural habitats is reflected in the increased vulnerability or level of threat to many vascular plants; some vulnerable species therefore became endangered, those endangered critically threatened, while species until recently not classified may be included in the Red List as vulnerable or even endangered.

  • Wildland Urban Interface Approved Plant List
    WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE APPROVED PLANT LIST This approved plant list has been developed to serve as a tool to determine the placement of vegetation within the Wildland Urban Interface areas. The approved plant list has been compiled from several similar lists which pertain to the San Francisco Bay Area and to the State of California. This approved plant list is not intended to be used outside of the San Mateo County area. The “required distance” for each plant is how far the given plant is required to be from a structure. If a plant within the approved plant list is not provided with a “required distance”, the plant has been designated as a fire-resistant plant and may be placed anywhere within the defensible space area. The designation as a fire-resistant plant does not exempt the plant from other Municipal Codes. For example, as per Hillsborough Municipal Code, all trees crowns, including those that have been designated as fire resistant, are required to be 10 feet in distance from any structure. Fire resistant plants have specific qualities that help slow down the spread of fire, they include but are not limited to: • Leaves tend to be supple, moist and easily crushed • Trees tend to be clean, not bushy, and have little deadwood • Shrubs are low-growing (2’) with minimal dead material • Taller shrubs are clean, not bushy or twiggy • Sap is water-like and typically does not have a strong odor • Most fire-resistant trees are broad leafed deciduous (lose their leaves), but some thick-leaf evergreens are also fire resistant.
