  • Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- ERICACEAE
    Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- ERICACEAE ERICACEAE (Heath Family) A family of about 107 genera and 3400 species, primarily shrubs, small trees, and subshrubs, nearly cosmopolitan. The Ericaceae is very important in our area, with a great diversity of genera and species, many of them rather narrowly endemic. Our area is one of the north temperate centers of diversity for the Ericaceae. Along with Quercus and Pinus, various members of this family are dominant in much of our landscape.

Murrell The ongoing synthesis of the formerly disparate fields of ecology and evolution is resulting in a proliferation of insights, highlighting the interdependence and feedback between ecological and evolutionary processes. There is increasing evidence that evolutionary processes can influence community dynamics through geographic patterns of speciation, mutualist interactions, and other processes governing community phylogenetic patterns (Weber et al., 2017; Weeks et al., 2016). Here we adopt a clade-focused perspective to understand patterns of niche evolution in a single lineage, and subsequently address the regional community context of habitats which have facilitated the persistence and diversification of members of the genus.

GOLAM SARWAR AND HIDEKI TAKAHASHI Laboratory of Systematic Botany, Graduate School of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Japan Keywords: Pollen morphology; Infrageneric classification; Exine sculpture; Kalmia. Abstract Pollen morphology of seven taxa of Kalmia was examined using light and scanning electron microscopy (LM and SEM, respectively), or SEM alone, in search of new characters that might contribute to infrageneric classification of the genus. The Kalmia species are stenopalynous and characterized by 3-colpor(oid)ate, medium, oblate pollen united in tetrahedral tetrads with rugulate exine sculpture. However, a continuous and serial variation in all the quantitative characters and exine sculpture was revealed within the genus. Kalmia buxifolia is characterized by having the smallest pollen tetrads, largest aperture, largest 2f/D ratio and septum thicker than apocolpial exine. On the other hand, K. latifolia produces the largest pollen tetrads with smallest aperture and smallest 2f/D ratio. An evolutionary trend from rugulate to psilate has also been observed in apocolpial exine sculpture of the genus Kalmia. On the basis of acetolysed pollen characteristics, a dichotomous key for Kalmia was prepared.

  • The Ecological Classification of Coastal Wet Longleaf Pine (Pinus Palustris) of Florida from Reference Conditions
    American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2012, 3, 1205-1218 1205 doi:10.4236/ajps.2012.39146 Published Online September 2012 (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/ajps) The Ecological Classification of Coastal Wet Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris) of Florida from Reference Conditions George L. McCaskill1, Shibu Jose2 1Forest Inventory & Analysis, Northern Research Station, USDA Forest Service, Newtown Square, USA; 2Center for Agroforestry, School of Natural Resources, University of Missouri, Columbia, USA. Email: [email protected] Received July 31st, 2012; revised August 28th, 2012; accepted September 10th, 2012 ABSTRACT Tropical storms, fire, and urbanization have produced a heavily fragmented forested landscape along Florida’s Gulf coast. The longleaf pine forest, one of the most threatened ecosystems in the US, makes up a major part of this frag- mented landscape. These three disturbance regimes have produced a mosaic of differently-aged pine patches of single or two cohort structures along this coastline. The major focus of our study was to determine reference ecosystem condi- tions by assessing the soil biochemical properties, overstory stand structure, and understory plant species richness along a patch-derived 110-year chronosequence in order to accurately evaluate on-going longleaf pine restoration projects. This ecological dataset was also used to classify each reference patch as mesic flatwoods, wet flatwoods, or wet sa- vanna. All of the reference locations were found to have similar soil types with no significant differences in their soil biogeochemistry. Mean diameter-at-breast height (DBH), tree height, and patch basal area increased as mean patch age increased. Stand growth reached a plateau around 80 - 90 years.

  • Longleaf Pine Vegetation of the Southern Atlantic and Eastern Gulf Coast Regions: a Preliminary Classification*
    Longleaf Pine Vegetation of the Southern Atlantic and Eastern Gulf Coast Regions: A Preliminary Classification* Robert K. Peet Department of Biology, CB#3280, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3280 Dorothy J. Allard The Nature Conservancy, Southeast Regional Office, Box 2267, Chapel Hill, NC 27515 ABSTRACT Quantitative data on the composition of naturcliiongleaf pin~~dominated vegetation collected across the range of the species east of the Mississippi River are used to develop a pre­ liminary, floristically-based, region-wide classification for use in conservation and preser­ vation planning. The strongest compositional gradients appear related to soil moisture. We recognize four , major series of longleaf-dominated vegetation, primarily differentiated with respect to this gradient (xeric, subxeric, mesic, and seasonally wet). These series are divided into twenty­ three communities, which correspond primarily to geographic position and physiographic province (the coastal plain and maritime fringe regions of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts re­ spectively, the piedmont / uplands, and the fall-line sandhills). The five communities that belong to the Xeric Longleaf Woodland series occur on coarse, well-drained sands. The six Subxeric Longleaf Woodland communities made up the ma­ jority'of the longleaf-dominated landscape of presettlement times. The four Mesic Longleaf Woodland communities are remarkably rich in species, but are uncommon in the modern landscape because they are largely confined to soils well-suited for agriculture. The eight Seasonally-Wet Longleaf Woodland communities contain both shrubby flatwoods and grassy, floristically~r,i.Fh savannas. Despite a visual dominance by longleaf pine, wiregrass, and scrub oaks, the greater longleaf pine ecosystem of the southeastern United States contains some of the most diverse plant communities known from the temperate zone.

I called on them many times during the past five years, and I was always met with enthusiasm and genuine interest. Particular thanks to Kathy, for being a kind and patient advisor, for tolerating my mysterious work hours and my desire to study things like Russian, and for exchanging funny cat stories. I am most grateful for the opportunity to have learned from an expert in my field. Funding for this study was provided by NSF grant DEB-023043 and Wake Forest University as part of a broader study of the Rhododendron clade. The Department of Biology provided a Vecellio Grant in order to facilitate my trips to Duke University to learn plant anatomy techniques.
