Vegetative Ecology of a Montane Mire, Crater Lake National
AJ ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Susan Cornelia Seyer for the degree of Master of Science in Botany and Plant Pathology presented on December 14, 1979 Title: VEGETATIVE ECOLOGY OF A MONTANE MIRE, CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK, OREGON Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Jerry F. Franklin Mires, or peat-producing ecosystems, dominated by sedges, shrubs, and brown mosses, are common features in Cascade subalpine regions, occurring where moisture accumulates in small basins or on poorly-drained slopes. Although descriptions and classifications have been developed for mire vegetation in much of the world, there is little information of even a descriptive nature for these montane mires in Oregon and Washington. This thesis reports on phytosocia- logical structure, env'ironental relations, and successional trends in one such mire in the Oregon Cascade mountains. To characterize the general phytosociological structure of the mire vegetation at Sphagnum Bog, Crater Lake National Park, quantitative species cover data were used in conjunction with a Braun-Blanquet tabular analysis and two-dimensional stand ordinations, reciprocal averaging and a Bray-Curtis polar ordination. Defined community types correspond to physiognomic types as follows: Carex rostrata (reedswamp); Eleocharis pauciflora-Carex limosa, Eleocharis pauciflora/bryophytes (low sedge fens); Carex sichensis (tall sedge fen); Vaccinium/ Aulacomnium palustre, Vaccinium occidentala/Carex sitchensis (shrub thickets; Alnus incana/Brachythacium sp. and Salix barclayi (marginal carrs).Phases were defined when appropriate. A vegetation map was made to illustrate the locations and extent of the variouscommunities. Comparisons with other montane mires in thearea determined that the physiognomic units defined are repeatable when appropriate habitat conditions are present, and that they usually includemany of the same characteristic species, the dominant mosses being particularly constant.

Bot. Fennici 42: 411–426. Vegetation of an area of 500 km2 in the western Khentey Mountains, northern Mon- golia is phytosociologically classiﬁed with the help of 254 relevés. Twenty-one main vegetation units are described. The study area is situated at the interface between the western Siberian dark taiga, the eastern Siberian light taiga and the Mongolian-Daurian forest steppe. A small-scale pattern of these three major vegetation types was found depending on site characteristics. Dark taiga forests of Pinus sibirica, Abies sibirica, Picea obovata, and Larix sibirica grow at the most humid sites. Light taiga forests dominated by Larix sibirica and Betula platyphylla occur on relatively dry northern slopes of the lower montane belt. Sun-exposed, southern slopes of the lower montane belt are covered by montane meadow and mountain steppe. DCA ordination suggests that the distribution of vegetation types depends on water supply and altitude.

Inventory of Rare Bryophytes in Unique Wetland Ecosystems on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest
Inventory of Rare Bryophytes in Unique Wetland Ecosystems on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest Photo: L. Wilson 2010 U.S.D.A Forest Service Region 6 and U.S.D.I Bureau of Land Management Interagency Special Status and Sensitive Species Program Authors Clint Emerson is a botanist, USDA Forest Service, Rogue River Siskiyou National Forest, Gold Beach and Powers Ranger Districts, Gold Beach, OR 97465 Scot Loring is a botanist, Pacific Crest Consulting, LLC, Talent, OR 97540 Introduction The Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest (RRSNF) dissects a geographically diverse area of Oregon, creating a high level of endemism with regard to vascular plants. At this point much less is known about non-vascular plant diversity in the region so botanists on the forest proposed a project to inventory unique wetland ecosystems for Region 6 Sensitive, Strategic and Oregon Biologic Information Center (ORBIC) list 3 and 4 bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts). The project received funding from the Interagency Special Status and Sensitive Species Program (ISSSSP) for field work to begin during the 2009 field season. This report summarizes findings of the inventory. Wetland ecosystems are an uncommon feature of the steep and highly dissected Siskiyou Mountains in Southwest Oregon. They are dispersed more so within the Southern Oregon Cascade portion of the forest, but are still considered an uncommon feature on the landscape when compared to unique upland ecosystems such as prairies or rock outcrops. In comparison to northwestern Oregon and western Washington little information exists with regard to Sensitive wetland associated bryophytes in southwest Oregon. This may be due to the fact that large metropolitan areas with universities are mostly lacking from the region and therefore the expertise and funding to accomplish this type of work is not as available.

Danilina*, Dina I. Nazimova, Maria E. Konovalova Sukachev Institute of Forest SB RAS, Akademgorodok, 50/28, Krasnoyarsk, 660036, Russia Abstract. The typological diversity of the three climatic facies of Siberian pine forests is considered in various bioclimatic sectors of the Prienisseysky Sayans. In each of the Sayan bioclimatic sectors, Siberian pine forests have a number of characteristic features of floristic composition and phytocenotic structure, restoration-age dynamics, productivity, and renewal process. 1 Introduction The Siberian pine forests of the Western and Eastern Sayans are currently studied typologically, thanks to the works of Russian researchers, including botanists of Siberia [1- 4]. A big step was taken at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries with the introduction of forest typological schemes to forest management, which was done by employees of academic institutes in Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk [5,6]. Databases on the biodiversity of Siberian pine forests have been created, and this allows us to study the diversity and natural relationships of Siberian pine forests in the Altai-Sayan Ecoregion at modern level [2, 7-10]. As one of the results of this work, based on the field materials of the authors and forest inventory materials, we consider the laws that govern the geography and dynamic trends in the formation of mountain dark coniferous forests after disturbances and anthropogenic interventions in the vast territory of the Prienisseysky Sayan Mountains.

The Vegetation of Three Sphagnum-Dominated Basin-Type Bogs in Northeastern Ohio
The vegetation of three Sphagnum -dominated basin-type bogs in northeastern Ohio1 BARBARA K. ANDRF.AS AND GARY R. BRYAN, Division of Natural Sciences, Cuyahoga Community College, Cleveland, OH 44122 and Department of Biological Sciences, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242 ABSTRACT. Vegetation and selected ground water characteristics were examined for three closely proximate basin-type bogs in northeastern Ohio. These peatlands exhibit "zonation", with a low shrub zone dominated by Chamaedaphne calyculata (Frequency-Presence Index [FPI] 4433) and Decodon verticillatus (FPI 5400) adjacent to and invading the open water. A tall shrub zone, extending aproximately 5 to 10 m to the exterior of the low shrub zone, is dominated by Vaccinium corymbosum (FPI 5533), Gaylussacia baccata (FPI 3133), andNemopanthus mucronatus (FPI 2200). Extending for the next 5 -10 m is a tree zone, dominated by Larix laricina (FPI 800), Betula alieghaniensis (FPI 198), andNyssa sylvatica (FPI 77). Sphagnum recurvum (sensu lato) (FPI 6500) forms a more or less continuous mat throughout the bogs. The vegetation of the three peatlands is similar, with similarity indices (c) ranging from 0.59 to 0.67. Based on pH, conductivity and Ca and Mg ion concentrations, these peatlands are semi-ombrotrophic to weakly minerotrophic. These commu- nities, located near the glacial boundary, represent northern peatlands at the southern edge of glaciation. OHIO J. SCI. 90 (3): 54-66, 1990 INTRODUCTION Lake Bog, Portage County, subjects of this study. Early investigations of peatlands, including those with The occurrence of kettle-hole bogs in Ohio is notewor- an ecological perspective, were primarily qualitative in thy because these sites are at the southernmost edge of the nature.

GUIDE to the MOSSES of CENTRAL FLORIDA with an INTERACTIVE KEY by Frederick B
Go to Index GUIDE TO THE MOSSES OF CENTRAL FLORIDA WITH AN INTERACTIVE KEY by Frederick B. Essig University of South Florida Herbarium Institute for Systematic Botany [Revised March 4, 2020] This guide has been prepared as an adjunct to the Atlas of Florida Plants. It includes an interactive key and illustrated species profile pages. The guide presently focuses on the common mosses of central Florida and includes 59 species, or for some entries just a genus. The guide is a work in progress, with the intention to gradually expand it to include less common species, as well as to expand the area of coverage from Central Florida to the entire state. It will therefore be periodically updated. The guide also includes an index, which includes all species reported as occurring in Florida, with the species included in the key set in bold face and larger type. The index also serves as a list of photo credits for the species included in the species profile pages. The key is in pdf format, with active links to move through the key and to the species profile pages. In the profile pages and the index, there are links to the appropriate pages in the Atlas. To make the guide as broadly useful as possible, simple botanical and/or English terminology has been used, rather than the specialized bryophyte terminology of technical keys. Corrections and suggestions will be greatly appreciated, and should be sent to Fred Essig at [email protected]. 1 Go to Index Interactive Key 1.

G3.A Picea Taiga Woodland
European Red List of Habitats - Forests Habitat Group G3.A Picea taiga woodland Summary This habitat comprises mesic to herb-rich woodland on mineral soils through the boreal and boreonemoral zones, often dominated by Picea abies but sometimes by Pinus sylvestris or Betula pendula or mixtures of these trees. Broadleaved trees can also occur and though, under natural conditions, forest succession will lead to the development of a Picea forest, the proportions of tree species are nowadays largely regulated by forestry. The soils are usually podzolic with mor humus but sometimes more mesic with mull and the associated shrubs, dwarf shrubs, herbs and bryophytes all reflect these differences as well as the regional climate. Many of the threats relate to forestry: cuttings, removal of dead and dying trees, thinning of tree layer, lack of natural stand dynamics and soil amelioration are likely to lead to forests with an even stand structure, shortage of old trees, missing deadwood and deadwood continuum as well as to simplified tree species composition. In the northern parts of Fennoscandia and in Latvia overgrazing is a threat and in Norway infrastructure development. In the future climate change is likely to influence this habitat. Conservation measures can include establishing protected areas/sites for succession, restoring/improving forest habitats and adaptation of forest management. Synthesis The habitat is assessed as Least Concern (LC) under criterion A1 (decline in quantity) in both EU28 and EU28+, as there has been a small increase in its quantity over the last 50 years. The area of the habitat is currently stable or increasing in the Nordic countries, but declining in the Baltic countries.

Patterns of Bryophyte Succession in a 160-Year Chronosequence in Deciduous and Coniferous Forests of Boreal Alaska Mélanie Jean, Heather D
1021 ARTICLE Patterns of bryophyte succession in a 160-year chronosequence in deciduous and coniferous forests of boreal Alaska Mélanie Jean, Heather D. Alexander, Michelle C. Mack, and Jill F. Johnstone Abstract: Bryophytes are dominant components of boreal forest understories and play a large role in regulating soil microcli- mate and nutrient cycling. Therefore, shifts in bryophyte communities have the potential to affect boreal forests’ ecosystem processes. We investigated how bryophyte communities varied in 83 forest stands in interior Alaska that ranged in age (since fire) from 8 to 163 years and had canopies dominated by deciduous broadleaf (Populus tremuloides Michx. or Betula neoalaskana Sarg.) or coniferous trees (Picea mariana Mill B.S.P.). In each stand, we measured bryophyte community composition, along with environ- mental variables (e.g., organic layer depth, leaf litter cover, moisture). Bryophyte communities were initially similar in deciduous vs. coniferous forests but diverged in older stands in association with changes in organic layer depth and leaf litter cover. Our data suggest two tipping points in bryophyte succession: one at the disappearance of early colonizing taxa 20 years after fire and another at 40 years after fire, which corresponds to canopy closure and differential leaf litter inputs in mature deciduous and coniferous canopies. Our results enhance understanding of the processes that shape compositional patterns and ecosystem services of bryophytes in relation to stand age, canopy composition, and changing disturbances such as fire that may trigger changes in canopy composition. Key words: boreal forest, succession, moss, chronosequence, leaf litter, canopy effects, fire, bryophyte. Résumé : Les bryophytes sont des éléments dominants du sous-bois de la forêt boréale et jouent un grand rôle dans la régulation du recyclage des nutriments et du microclimat dans le sol.
