U.S. Department of the Interior June 2019 BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Draft Programmatic EIS for Fuel Breaks in the Great Basin Volume 3: Appendices B through M Estimated Lead Agency Total Costs Associated with Developing and Producing this EIS $2,100,000 The Bureau of Land Management’s multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by con- serving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."

    "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.

    The Case of Centaurea Stoebe (Spotted Knapweed)

    Endophytic fungi as a biodiversity hotspot: the case of Centaurea stoebe (spotted knapweed) Alexey Shipunov Department of Forest Resources University of Idaho Spotted knapweed Spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe L., also known as C. maculosa, C. micrantha, C. biebersteinii) is a noxious, invasive plant which was introduced into North America from Eurasia in 1890s. Plant fungal endophytes • Grow inside plant, but do not cause any symptoms • Cryptic symbionts, inhabiting all plants • Play lots of different roles, include host tolerance to stressful conditions, plant defense, plant growth, and plant community biodiversity • One example of the economic importance of endophytes is taxol, well-known anticancer drug, which is not a product of Taxus brevifolia (yew) tree, but of its endophyte Taxomyces andreana Anamorphs and teleomorphs More than 1/3 of fungi do not normally express any sexual characters. They are anamorphs. Sometimes, some anamorphic fungi develop into sexual teleomorphs which have “more morphology” and can be properly classified. Before molecular era, all anamorphic fungi have been treated as Alternaria (anamorph, above), “Deuteromycota”. and Lewia (teleomorph, below) Most of knapweed endophytes are are the same organism. anamorphic ascomycetes. BLAST search usually reveals mixed lists of ana- and teleomorph names Pleomorphic fungi (with variable anamorph/teleomorph relationships) are one of the most painful problem for fungal taxonomy. The weakness of morphology From Jeewon et al. (2003), and Hu et al. (2007) Pestalotiopsis example: morphology chosen as the only identification tool leads to highly tangled molecular tree. “Identify, then sequence” does not work for novel isolates. Thus, the identification of fungi depends on either high level of expertise, or on proper barcoding.

Executive Summary This survey was a continuation of several years of rare plant survey on San Juan Public Lands. Funding for the project was provided by San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management. Previous rare plant surveys on San Juan Public Lands by CNHP were conducted in conjunction with county wide surveys of La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan and San Miguel counties, with partial funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO); and in 2004, public lands only in Dolores and Montezuma counties, funded entirely by the San Juan Public Lands. Funding for 2005 was again provided by San Juan Public Lands. The primary emphases for field work in 2005 were: 1. revisit and update information on rare plant occurrences of agency sensitive species in the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database that were last observed prior to 2000, in order to have the most current information available for informing the revision of the Resource Management Plan for the San Juan Public Lands (BLM and San Juan National Forest); 2.

    Jessica’s Aster (Aster jessicae) Population Monitoring: Third-year Results Idaho Conservation Data Center Idaho Department of Fish and Game PO Box 25 Juanita Lichthardt Boise, Idaho Karen Gray 83707 2005 Report prepared for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ABSTRACT Jessica’s aster (Aster jessicae) is a tall, rhizomatous aster endemic to the Palouse region of southeastern Washington and adjacent Idaho. Its habitat has been severely reduced by conversion of this region to intensive agricultural uses. It is restricted almost entirely to private lands, and because of this, little was known of its distribution and abundance until a 1991 status survey was conducted. Five permanent monitoring plots were established in 2001, to track and compare populations occupying contrasting sites. Monitoring sites differ in amount of edge, degree of isolation from other populations, habitat extent, and amount of forest cover. This report summarizes three consecutive years of monitoring data. i TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ......................................................................................................................................i TABLE OF CONTENTS ................................................................................................................ ii LIST OF TABLES ......................................................................................................................... iii LIST OF FIGURES.......................................................................................................................
