  • Natural Resource Inventory Smith-Sargent
    NATURAL RESOURCE INVENTORY of the SMITH-SARGENT ROAD PROPERTY Holderness, NH FINAL REPORT [Smith-Sargent Property Upper Marsh as seen from south boundary] Compiled by: Dr. Rick Van de Poll Ecosystem Management Consultants 30 N. Sandwich Rd. Center Sandwich, NH 03227 603-284-6851 [email protected] Submitted to: Holderness Conservation Commission June 30, 2016 i SUMMARY Between October 2015 and June 2016 a comprehensive natural resources inventory (NRI) was completed by Ecosystem Management Consultants (EMC) of Sandwich, NH on the 8.5-acre town conservation land at the corner of Sargent Road and Smith Road in Holderness, NH. Managed by the Holderness Conservation Commission (HCC), this parcel was obtained largely for the complex wetland system that occupies more than 65% of the parcel. The purpose of the NRI was to inform the town about the qualities of the natural resources on the lot, as well as to determine whether or not the site would be suitable for limited environmental education for the general public. Three site visits were conducted at the Sargent-Smith Road Property for the purpose of gathering NRI data. A fourth visit was also made on November 15, 2015 for the purpose of educating the HCC and other town officials about the extent and functional value of the wetlands on the parcel. The first field visit in October provided an initial review of the location of the parcel, the boundary of the wetland, and the plant and animal resources present. A second site visit in January was held for the purpose of tracking mammals during good snow cover.

  • Differential Colonization by Ecto-, Arbuscular and Ericoid Mycorrhizal Fungi in Forested Wetland Plants. by Amanda Marie Griffin
    Differential colonization by ecto-, arbuscular and ericoid mycorrhizal fungi in forested wetland plants. By Amanda Marie Griffin A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Applied Science. August, 2019, Halifax, Nova Scotia © Amanda Marie Griffin, 2019 _____________________________ Approved: Gavin Kernaghan Supervisor _____________________ Approved: Dr. Jeremy Lundholm Supervisory Committee Member _____________________ Approved: Dr. Kevin Keys Supervisory Committee Member ______________________ Approved: Dr. Pedro Antunes External Examiner Date: August 26th, 2019 Differential colonization by ecto-, arbuscular and ericoid mycorrhizal fungi in forested wetland plants. by Amanda Marie Griffin Abstract The roots of most land plants are colonized by mycorrhizal fungi under normal soil conditions, yet the influence of soil moisture on different types of mycorrhizal symbioses is poorly understood. In wet soils, colonization of woody plants by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi tends to be poor, and colonization of herbaceous plants by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) is highly variable. However, little information is available on the influence of soil moisture on the colonization of ericaceous roots by ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi. Colonization was assessed microscopically in the ECM plant Pinus strobus, two AM plants (Cornus canadensis and Lysimachia borealis) and two ErM plants (Kalmia angustifolia and Gaultheria hispidula) along two upland to wetland gradients in Southwestern Nova Scotia. For the ErM plants, fungal ITS sequencing was used to assess community structure. The data indicate that ErM colonization increases with soil moisture in forested wetlands and is associated with distinctive fungal communities. August 26th, 2019 2 For Heidi, my constant companion.
