The plant in the foreground with the spiky leaves is probably a nolina. This inland scrub is on sandstone in the Santa Ana Mountains above Coal Canyon. The bottom photo is a desert wash in Red Rock Canyon State Park on the eastern side of the Sierras. There are creosote bushes and many other low-growing shrubs. The botanist is looking for the small flowering plants hiding in the shade or in the water drainages in the wash. MONTANE PINE WOODLAND GRASSLAND Southern California Native Plants for School Gardens (Photos by Betsey Landis) SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NATIVE PLANTS FOR SCHOOL & URBAN GARDENS by Betsey Landis The top photo is a pine woodland above Lake Tahoe. The pines are probably Jeffrey pines which are common in the Sierra Nevada. The bottom photo is a large meadow in Rocky Oaks, a park in the Santa Monica Mountains. The blue flowers in the background are a small iris called blue-eyed grass. The bright rosy clover in the foreground is called owl’s clover. This is part of a grassland dominated by native bunchgrasses.

  • Literature Cited
    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.

  • Effect of Wood Preservative Treatment of Beehives on Honey Bees Ad Hive Products
    1176 J. Agric. Food Chem. 1984. 32, 1176-1180 Effect of Wood Preservative Treatment of Beehives on Honey Bees and Hive Products Martins A. Kalnins* and Benjamin F. Detroy Effects of wood preservatives on the microenvironment in treated beehives were assessed by measuring performance of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies and levels of preservative residues in bees, honey, and beeswax. Five hives were used for each preservative treatment: copper naphthenate, copper 8-quinolinolate, pentachlorophenol (PCP), chromated copper arsenate (CCA), acid copper chromate (ACC), tributyltin oxide (TBTO), Forest Products Laboratory water repellent, and no treatment (control). Honey, beeswax, and honey bees were sampled periodically during two successive summers. Elevated levels of PCP and tin were found in bees and beeswax from hives treated with those preservatives. A detectable rise in copper content of honey was found in samples from hives treated with copper na- phthenate. CCA treatment resulted in an increased arsenic content of bees from those hives. CCA, TBTO, and PCP treatments of beehives were associated with winter losses of colonies. Each year in the United States, about 4.1 million colo- honey.

  • V. Environmental Impact Analysis C. Biological Resources
    V. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS C. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION A Biological Resources Evaluation for the Proposed Project was prepared by TeraCor Resource Management in November 2003 to analyze the potential impacts on biological resources associated with the Proposed Project. A summary of the Biological Resources Evaluation with respect to potential impacts on biological resources, and as reviewed and revised for consistency with the City of Malibu LCP1, is set forth below. The Biological Resources Evaluation, which is incorporated herein by this reference, is included in its entirety as Appendix D to this Draft Final EIR. A Technical Memorandum amending the Biological Resources Evaluation prepared by Teracor Resource Management was written on 27 March 2007 to clarify and evaluate three issues: 1) to confirm the status of biological resources present on site, 2) to confirm the presence or absence of wetlands, “waters of the U.S.” streambeds, or other water features present on-site, and, 3) determine if California black walnut (Juglans californica) trees are present on-site. The conclusions of the findings made by TeraCor Resource Management with respect to these three issues are set forth below. The Technical Memorandum, which is incorporated herein by reference, is provided in Appendix D-1, Biological Assessment – Verification of Conditions. The purpose of this evaluation is to provide an understanding of the biological resources present within the Project Site, as determined from field reconnaissance and available scientific literature. This biological evaluation inventories floral and faunal resources detected on or near the Project Site, and predicts faunal resources determined likely to be present based on habitat conditions, known species distribution, and field observations.

  • Trends in Creosote Supply and Quality by Richard Harris, Koppers Industries
    Trends in Creosote Supply and Quality by Richard Harris, Koppers Industries Introduction This paper examines the ten-year outlook for wood-preserving creosotes in North America. The major factors determining creosote availability and quality in the future will be the quantity of coal tar produced in the United States, and the economics of the competing uses for coal tar distillates. Major Uses of Coal Tar Distillates Though no two tar plants are exactly alike, in general we may say that two distillate streams are initially generated during the production of coal tar pitch (see chart). The first distillate off, representing 20 percent of the tar, is generally known as chemical oil. It is the fighter fraction, containing from 40 to 55 percent naphthalene. The second, heavier distillate is the creosote fraction used to make wood preservative and carbon black. It accounts for 30 percent of the crude tar. The remainder, about half of the tar is carbon pitch for the aluminum and graphite industries. This is the product which drives the domestic tar distillation business. Each distillate may then be processed to create value-added products. Solvent from which resins are made, naphthalene for plastics and pesticides, and "correction oil" for use in wood-preserving creosote are all derived from the chemical oil. In North America, most of the creosote fraction produced is combined with correction oil, or in some instances unprocessed chemical oil, to make AWPA-specification creosotes. The heavy distillate left over after wood preserving needs are met is sold as carbon black feedstock. In the rest of the world, this fraction is mostly used for the production of carbon black and anthracene oil.

DSC). Prepared by: Daniel S. Cooper Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc. October 2010 1 Part I. Summary of Findings Part II (species accounts) begins after p. 26. We present information on extant occurrences of 15 special-status species, subspecies and/or varieties of vascular plants in Griffith Park and contiguous open space, including three for which no known local specimen existed prior to this study: slender mariposa-lily (Calochortus clavatus var. gracilis; CNPS 1B.2), Humboldt lily (Lilium humboldtii var. ocellatum; CNPS 4.2), and Hubby's phacelia (Phacelia hubbyi; CNPS 4.2). Using lists developed by local botanists, we document - from specimens or digital photographs - extant occurrences of nearly 40 additional plant taxa felt to be of conservation concern in the eastern Santa Monica Mountains, including 16 for which no prior specimen existed for the park or surrounding open space. We also identify several dozen taxa known from the specimen record but unconfirmed in the park in recent years. From this information, we discuss patterns of occurrence of rare plants in the park, drawing attention to "hotspots" for rare species diversity, such as Spring Canyon and Royce Canyon, and identify areas, particularly in the northeastern corner of the park and along the southeastern border, where rare plants are relatively poorly represented in the landscape.
