Fraga ABSTRACT: We present an annotated catalogue of the vascular flora of the upper Santa Ana River watershed, in the southern San Bernardino Mountains, in southern California. The catalogue is based on a floristic study, undertaken from 2008 to 2010. Approximately 65 team days were spent in the field and over 5,000 collections were made over the course of the study. The study area is ca. 155 km2 in area (40,000 ac) and ranges in elevation from 1402 m to 3033 m. The study area is botanically diverse with more than 750 taxa documented, including 56 taxa of conservation concern and 81 non-native taxa. Vegetation and habitat types in the area include chaparral, evergreen oak forest and woodland, riparian forest, coniferous forest, montane meadow, and pebble plain habitats.

  • Propagation Protocol for Production of Container Sorbus Scopulina Greene
    Protocol Information USDA NRCS Corvallis Plant Materials Center 3415 NE Granger Ave Corvallis, Oregon 97330 (541)757-4812 Corvallis Plant Materials Center Corvallis, Oregon Family Scientific Name: Rosaceae Family Common Name: Rose Scientific Name: Sorbus scopulina Greene Common Name: Mountain ash; Greene's mountain ash Species Code: SOSC2 Ecotype: Crater Lake National Park, 6,500 ft. elevation; mostly occurring in a few dense stands near headquarters buildings; not widely distributed in the Park. General Distribution: Western and Rocky Mountain states; North and South Dakota; from foothills to near-alpine habitat. Propagation Goal: Plants Propagation Method: Seed Product Type: Container (plug) Stock Type: one-gallon containers Time To Grow: 2 years Target Specifications: Large healthy, 2-year crown foliage; roots filling soil profile. Propagule Collection: Ripe berries in large clusters easily identified and collected in September and transported in plastic bags in cooler. Propagule Processing: Berries should be depulped as soon as possible because pulp contains germination inhibitors. Depulp in blender with rubber tubing covering blender blades; wash and float off pulp / juice several times to remove all traces of fruit pulp prior to straining and air-drying on paper toweling. Seed 1 reportedly stores well for several years in sealed containers at 6 to 8% moisture content. Pre-Planting Treatments: 60 days cold-moist stratification given as a minimum in literature; our seed lots performed much better after 16 weeks (112 days) of cold-moist stratification. One-year-old seed yielded 61% germination with excellent vigor; while a 3-year-old seed lot had 25% germination and fairly good vigor.

  • Appendix a – Silviculture Report
    Appendix A – Silviculture Report Bybee Vegetation Management Project High Cascades Ranger District, Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest /s/ Jason Herron Date: May 5, 2011 Jason Herron, Silviculturist A-1 Bybee Vegetation Management Project I. Background The High Cascades Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest considered the current needs of various watersheds for vegetation management, restoration and road management, and implementation of land management direction. The Bybee project planning area is located within the Upper Rogue River Watershed between Crater Lake National Park on the east, Highway 230 on the west, Highway 62 on the south, and Forest road (FR) 6535-900 on the north. Within the project planning area, vegetative conditions of all stands were evaluated to identify “candidate stands,” stands that could benefit from needed and appropriate silvicultural treatments. The Bybee project planning area was chosen for treatment because there is a need to treat diseased conditions and thin stands to provide for fire, insect, and disease resistance and release for increased tree growth. Additionally, much of the Bybee project planning area is allocated to the Matrix land allocation— which specifically calls for programmed timber harvest for both forest health and timber production. The area also includes the Foreground Retention and Big-Game Winter Range management areas, which allow for management activities that maintain or promote the scenic and big game values of the area. II. Introduction A. Bybee Project Planning Area The project planning area for the Bybee Vegetation Management Project is approximately 16,215 acres and is located on federally managed lands within the Upper Rogue River Watershed.

  • Distribution of the Native Grasses of California
    HILGARDIA A Journal of Agricultural Science Published by the California Agricultural Experiment Station VOLUME 17 APRIL, 1947 NUMBER 9 CONTENTS DISTRIBUTION OF THE NATIVE GRASSES OF CALIFORNIA ALAN A. BEETLE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA • BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA HILGARDIA A Journal of Agricultural Science Published by the California Agricultural Experiment Station VOL. 17 APRIL, 1947 NO. 9 DISTRIBUTION OF THE NATIVE GRASSES OF CALIFORNIA1 ALAN A. BEETLE2 THE grasses, supplemented by certain legumes, form the principal basis for range wealth. The natural forage value of the Gramineae as a whole makes an intensive study of their characteristics important, for the broader the knowledge concerning them the more readily may any problem be met. The following paper presents a picture of the current distributions of grasses in California, together with evidences of their floral origins by migration from other regions. Vegetation has many characteristics which are not always apparent at first glance. For instance, certain elements of the vegetation are native in their location, some are native elsewhere and have only recently been introduced. Some are old species often representative of a primitive condition in their genus, still others appear to be recently evolved. Some of the migrants arrived in California from the north during glacial periods, some crossed the ocean, and others came from the south during interglacial periods. Some plants are distributionally restricted for a number of reasons, including: (1) specialization as to habitat or environmental repression, as the species of vernal pools; (2) recent origin (plants sometimes referred to as neoendemics or initiates), as the endemic varieties of Distichlis spicata; (3) ancient origin (paleoendemics or relics); and (4) genotypic specialization (genetic endemics).

  • Washington Park Arboretum (2004) (Pdf)
    i Foreword The results of this project are from the combined efforts of a team of talented students at the University of Washington. The five members of this team came to this project with diverse experiences and knowledge. The team included Landscape Architecture students and Environmental Horticulture/ Urban Forestry students; including undergraduate and graduate students. Amongst the team were individuals with extensive experience in nursery management, municipal arboriculture, landscape design, and environmental consulting. The team even included an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist and Washington State University Master Gardeners. We hope that this project will contribute significantly to the implementation of a Native Plant Synoptic Garden at Washington Park Arboretum. The information contained in this project should be used in conjunction with other previous projects that have focused on the creation of this garden. By combining all this cumulative information, the final stakeholders and designers at Washington Park Arboretum will be able to synthesize and create this world class garden. ii Contents FOREWORD……………………………………………………………………………………..i INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………………..1 Site Location……………………………………………………………………………………..1 Site History……………………………………………………………………………………....1 Project Goals ……………………………………………………………………………………..2 SITE ANALYSIS………………………………………………………………………………...3 Existing Vegetation…………………………………………………………………………….....6 Topography……………………………………………………………………………………....7 Climate…………………………………………………………………………………………..8

    AGROPYRON Wheatgrass The name Agropyron comes from the Greek word for wild wheat, and Agropyron species have a wheat-like appearance. There has been some con- troversy concerning the species included in this genus. Hitchcock et al. (1969) recognized nine species of Agropyron. Today there is general agree- ment that Agropyron should be restricted to the “crested wheatgrasses.” These species are perennial plants with a stem axis that does not come apart at maturity, a flowerhead that is a spike, spikelets that diverge from the stem axis at an angle of 30° or more, and one spikelet at each node. The species that were traditionally contained within Agropyron are now treated in Elymus, Thinopyrum, Pascopyrum, and Pseudoroegneria. There are three British Columbia species remaining in the genus Agropyron, and these are Crested Wheatgrass, Desert Wheatgrass, and Siberian Wheatgrass. In the Columbia Basin region, only Crested Wheatgrass and Siberian Wheatgrass have been collected. Agropyron—Adapted from Douglas et al. (1994) 1a. Spikelet spread from the stem axis 30° or more; the distance between the spikelets is less than 1 mm . Agropyron cristatum 1b. Spikelet pressed to the stem axis; the distance between the spikelets is greater than 1 mm . Agropyron fragile Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn. ssp. pectinatum (Bieb.) Tzvelev Crested Wheatgrass Plant: Agropyron cristatum is an introduced species that grows 50–100 cm tall. It is a tufted perennial with densely fibrous roots, but no rhizome. The flowerhead is composed of a flattened spike containing spikelets that resem- ble the teeth in a comb—thus the subspecies name pectinatum is from pectinate, meaning comb-like.

Vegetation at the Glacier Lakes Ecosystem Experiment Site, a 600 ha research site at 3200 to 3500 m elevation in the Snowy Range of southeastern Wyoming, was categorized and described from an intensive sampling of species abundances. A total of 304 vascular plant taxa were identified through collection and herbarium documentation. Plots with tree species were separated from those without tree species for ordination and classification analyses. Detrended correspondence analysis was used to order plots along major axes of composition variation, which are inferred moisture and topographic gradients. Cluster analysis was used to categorize plots based on composition similarity. The resulting groups were named according to species dominants. We identified and described in detail 4 meadow, 4 thicket or scrub, 3 krummholz, and 2 forest plant associations.
