  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Notophthalmus Perstriatus) Version 1.0
    Species Status Assessment for the Striped Newt (Notophthalmus perstriatus) Version 1.0 Striped newt eft. Photo credit Ryan Means (used with permission). May 2018 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 Jacksonville, Florida 1 Acknowledgements This document was prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s North Florida Field Office with assistance from the Georgia Field Office, and the striped newt Species Status Assessment Team (Sabrina West (USFWS-Region 8), Kaye London (USFWS-Region 4) Christopher Coppola (USFWS-Region 4), and Lourdes Mena (USFWS-Region 4)). Additionally, valuable peer reviews of a draft of this document were provided by Lora Smith (Jones Ecological Research Center) , Dirk Stevenson (Altamaha Consulting), Dr. Eric Hoffman (University of Central Florida), Dr. Susan Walls (USGS), and other partners, including members of the Striped Newt Working Group. We appreciate their comments, which resulted in a more robust status assessment and final report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Species Status Assessment (SSA) is an in-depth review of the striped newt's (Notophthalmus perstriatus) biology and threats, an evaluation of its biological status, and an assessment of the resources and conditions needed to maintain species viability. We begin the SSA with an understanding of the species’ unique life history, and from that we evaluate the biological requirements of individuals, populations, and species using the principles of population resiliency, species redundancy, and species representation. All three concepts (or analogous ones) apply at both the population and species levels, and are explained that way below for simplicity and clarity as we introduce them. The striped newt is a small salamander that uses ephemeral wetlands and the upland habitat (scrub, mesic flatwoods, and sandhills) that surrounds those wetlands.

  • Middle Miocene Palynoflora of the Legnica Lignite Deposit Complex
    Acta Palaeobotanica 49(1): 5–133, 2009 Middle Miocene palynofl ora of the Legnica lignite deposit complex, Lower Silesia, Poland ELŻBIETA WOROBIEC W. Szafer Institute of Botany, Polish Academy of Sciences, Lubicz 46, 31-512 Kraków, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Received 18 November 2008; accepted for publication 11 May 2009 ABSTRACT. Palynological analysis of three profi les of the Miocene deposits from Legnica site (east fi eld, 33/56 and 41/52 profi les) and Ruja site (fragment of the Komorniki 97/72 profi le) has been presented. The samples consisted of material from the 2nd Lusatian lignite seam, the Mużaków series, the 1st Henryk lignite seam and grey clays of the Poznań series. The age of the fl ora was defi ned as Badenian (?Late Karpatian – Late Badenian). During the studies a total of 201 taxa from 96 genera (including 195 taxa from 92 genera of pollen and spores) were identifi ed. The systematic part of this work gives descriptions of selected sporomorphs and phytoplankton microfossils. Some informations about botanical affi nity, occurrence in fossil fl oras and in the studied material, as well as about allied recent plants are given in remarks. The results are presented in three pollen diagrams. The taxa have been classifi ed to an appropriate palaeofl oristical element mainly on the basis of the checklist of selected pollen and spores taxa from the Neogene deposits. The dominance of warm-temperate (A1) element and frequency of palaeotropical taxa in various parts of the profi les point to a warm-temperate climate. The results were used for reconstruction of changes in local vegetation during the sedimentation of deposits under study.

  • Comments Regarding FDOT Tampa Bay to Northeast Florida Study Area Concept Report May 28, 2013
    Comments Regarding FDOT Tampa Bay to Northeast Florida Study Area Concept Report May 28, 2013 These comments were submitted to FDOT on behalf of 1000 Friends of Florida, Audubon Florida, St. Johns Riverkeeper, Defenders of Wildlife and Conservancy of Southwest Florida 1. General process questions that require greater attention a) The 50 year planning horizon suggests that something other than traditional road building needs to be strongly evaluated. The basic fact in this corridor is that at this moment in time, roads have been the only alternative developed. Fifty years out this will still be the case unless other alternatives are planned and tried. b) Explanations are needed regarding the “planning and screening” process. c) It is very important to provide an inventory of approved but un-built developments in the region of this corridor study area. d) Each potential strategy should be assigned some weighting factor so people can understand how much of the problem each strategy resolves. In other words, how does one assess the relative importance/value of the “interstate 75 relievers” strategy against the “I-75 transportation needs” strategy? 2. Roadway development and environmental and growth management considerations a) Potential Connections to I-10 and the more coastal Tampa to Northwest Florida Connection - No mention is made of evaluating and/or prioritizing EXISTING rights-of- way when looking at expanded capacity such as US 301, US 19, US 27, SR 26, SR 41 and SR 99. For example, Highways 19, 27A, 98 is a major divided highway from about the Ingles/Yankeetown area to Perry/I-10 toward N.E.

  • Rare Vascular Plant Taxa Associated with the Longleaf Pine Ecosystems: Patterns in Taxonomy and Ecology
    Rare Vascular Plant Taxa Associated with the Longleaf Pine Ecosystems: Patterns in Taxonomy and Ecology Joan Walker U.S.D.A. Forest Service, Southeastern Forest Experiment Station, Department of Forest Resources, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634 ABSTRACT Ecological, taxonomic and biogeographical characteristics are used to describe the group of 187 rare vascular plant taxa associated with longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) throughout its range. Taxonomic and growth form distributions mirror the patterns of common plus rare taxa in the flora. Most of the species have rather narrow habitat preferences, and narrow geo­ graphic ranges, but a few rare sp~cies with broad habitat tolerances and wider geographic ranges are identified. Ninety-six local endemics are associated with longleaf pine ecosystems. This incidence is as high as in other comparably-sized endemic-rich areas in North America. A distinct geographic trend in rare species composition is indicated. Species fall into 4 groups: Florida longleaf associates, south Atlantic coastal plain, east Gulf coastal plain, and west Gulf coastal plain species. Distributional factors that produce rarity must be considered in the development of conser­ vation strategies. Overall, conserving longleaf communities rangewide will protect .large ~ numbers of rare plant taxa in Southeastern United States. INTRODUCTION 1986), and inevitably the strategies required to con­ serve them will differ. Recently Hardin and White (1989) effectively focused conservationists' attentions on the high The purposes of this study are to (1) identify numbers of rare species associated with wiregrass the rare species associated with longleaf pine eco­ (Aristida stricta), a grass that dominates the ground systems rangewide; (2) characterize the rare spe­ layer of longleaf communities through a large part cies taxonomically and ecologically, in order to of its range, and over a broad range of longleaf identify patterns that may distinguish this group habitats.
