  • Seed Bank Plants Presentation
    Oxfordshire Recorders and Conservation Day, Saturday, 28 February 2015 Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Oxford OX1 3PW _______________________________________________________________________ Seed Bank Plants - presentation by Dr Judith A Webb All photos copyright J A Webb Introduction As long as I have been a botanist, I have been fascinated by seeds and growing plants from seeds. The theme of this conference is ‘Recording the Invisible’ and my imagination was first caught by the account of the resurrection of the rare plant Starfruit Damasonium alisma - apparently ‘back from the dead’. This had disappeared (been lost) in the flora of ponds that had become silted up or choked with emergent vegetation of sedge and bulrush, losing the shallow open water it needed. ‘Cleaning-out’ such a pond – removing most of the choking vegetation and silt to return it to an earlier successional stage – activates long-dormant (invisible) Starfruit seed held in the seed bank in the pond sediment (as long as some of the original sediment with dormant seed has been left or actively returned to the rejuvenated pond). It is important that we realise, as recorders, that a plant, though not seen as a flowering or vegetative organism, may not be extinct on a site. It may be still there but invisible in the form of viable but dormant seed in the soil or sediment. Such a seed bank might last for only a few years or for up to 100 years or longer depending on the species. What follows are some examples of what I have found out from my own observations and research on plants with seeds with long dormancy and those with short dormancy.

  • 4 Vegetation Dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow
    4 Vegetation dynamics on Port Meadow 4.1 History of Port Meadow Port Meadow (132 ha) and Wolvercote Common (39 ha) (the Meadow) are adjacent commons lying on the River Thames flood-plain within Oxford City boundary (Map 2.5). They have been grazed since at least the Bronze Age and have never been ploughed. Shiplake Ditch forms the boundary between Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common. The common land and Hook Meadow form part of a larger Site of Special Scientific Interest first notified in 1952 and re-notified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The Nature Conservancy Council’s citation (1983) states that the history of ecological interest in the Meadow was taken into account so the SSSI should be extended to the whole of Port Meadow with Wolvercote Common, with the exception of the Wolvercote allotment gardens. The Meadow is also important as a gene bank of species, particularly well adapted to heavy grazing, which have already been fundamental in the development of agricultural leys (McDonald forthcoming). In 2004, Port Meadow was confirmed as a Special Area of Conservation under European Union legislation because of the presence of Apium repens. The whole was registered as a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1993 because there are the remains of six Bronze Age burials and three Iron Age settlement sites and field systems on the commons (Map 4.1). Both commons are owned or held in Trust by Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council under Section 9 of the Commons Registration Act 1965. Under the same Act, the Freemen of Oxford and the Wolvercote Commoners registered grazing rights for 1,365 horses, 1,890 cattle, 6 donkeys, 48 ducks and 1,192 geese.

  • Oxford City Council Local Plan 2036
    Oxford City Council Local Sites Audit Plan 2036 BACKGROUND PAPER INTRODUCTION 1. This background paper forms part of the evidence base for the Oxford Local Plan 2036 and supplements the relevant background papers on Site Assessments that were published at the Issues stage of consultation in 2016 and the Preferred Options stage of consultation in 2017. For clarity, the 2016 and 2017 papers have not been reproduced here but this paper should be read alongside the previous papers. 2. The first part of the paper provides background information on the sites identified at Preferred Options Stage and provides information on how these were identified and the assessment process used to determine which sites would be taken forward for further investigation. 3. The second part sets out the differences between the list of sites accepted at Preferred Options stage and those taken forward into the Proposed Submission Plan. Within this section there is commentary on further reasons considered to help determine which sites should go forward and why sites were rejected at this stage. The section also includes commentary on additional sites that were added at this stage and the reasons for this. 4. The paper is supported by two Appendices. Appendix 1 is a list of Preferred Options rejected sites. This list has been updated with an additional column added to identify sites that were previously rejected but are now being accepted. The additional column contains commentary on why these sites are now being accepted and included within the Proposed Submission Plan. Appendix 2 is a list of the Preferred Options accepted sites.

  • Timeline of Marston Below Is a Brief Timeline of the History of Marston Courtesy of Stephanie Jenkins of Headington.Org.Uk
    Timeline of Marston Below is a brief timeline of the history of Marston courtesy of Stephanie Jenkins of headington.org.uk. There have been two Palaeolithic finds in Marston, but the Romans do not appear to have had a BC settlement there AD 1086 Domesday Book: Marston (then a hamlet of Headington) was too small to be mentioned Until this time, all the low ground of Marston is believed to have been under water. Old Marston village AD 1100 was now an island in the Cherwell. It had its own chapel, which was dependent on Headington. It was part of the Royal Manor at Headington (which also owned Binsey and Osney). First written occurrence of the name of Marston. Its chapel is referred to as a church for the first time, and by the end of the twelfth century it was dedicated to St Nicholas. Henry I gave the chapel of Marston to the canons of St. Frideswide’s. AD 1122 The chancel arch and seven arches of the nave survive which suggests a considerable community cultivating surrounding fields – workable by ditching and draining. The tenant had rights of commoning cattle and cutting furze, fern and dead wood. In this year the population of Marston consisted of the Vicar, two freeholders (the miller and a man appearing to live at Court Place) and 46 unfree tenants. First mention of a Marston ferry. Hugh de Molendino held a mill at Marston. (Hundred Rolls). There was a mill at the end of Mill Lane near Sescut Farm which would disappear and re-appear in the AD 1279 records up to the 1400s.
