  • Species Report for the San Fernando Valley Spineflower (Chorizanthe Parryi Var
    Comments on “Species Report for the San Fernando Valley Spineflower (Chorizanthe parryi var. fernandina)” The report presents a misleading representation of the threat of Argentine ant invasion into the areas planned for development by the Newhall Land Company and inadequate information regarding the pollination biology of the SFVS (San Fernando Valley Spineflower). For these reasons, my professional opinion, which is based on over 20 years of experience studying the Argentine ant in the field in California, is that additional research would have to be conducted to assess how the planned developments would impact the Santa Clarita populations of SFVS. In the sections of the report dealing with Argentine ant invasion, several points require clarification. (1) In the interior portions of southern California, the Argentine ant is limited by soil moisture and tends to occur primarily in riparian woodlands and irrigated areas, which can include urban, suburban and agricultural environments. That said, all of the isolated patches of SFVS in Santa Clarita, if exposed to the development illustrated in Figure 4 of the report, would likely be vulnerable to Argentine ant invasion given that they would be surrounded either by urban development or by the Santa Clarita River riparian corridor. Planned urban and suburban developments would affect (and mostly increase) soil moisture levels in unexpected ways by changing impermeable surface cover, storm water run off, flood control measures, irrigation, and landscaping. These changes will increase the risk that isolated SFVS reserves will become invaded by the Argentine ant but will likely do so in ways that are not easy to predict.

College Avenue Claremont, Calif. 91711 ABSTRACT The Liebre Mountains form a discrete unit of the Transverse Ranges of southern California. Geo­ graphically, the range is transitional to the San Gabriel Mountains, Inner Coast Ranges, Tehachapi Mountains, and Mojave Desert. A total of 1010 vascular plant taxa was recorded from the range, representing 104 families and 400 genera. The ratio of native vs. nonnative elements of the flora is 4:1, similar to that documented in other areas of cismontane southern California. The range is note­ worthy for the diversity of Quercus and oak-dominated vegetation. A total of 32 sensitive plant taxa (rare, threatened or endangered) was recorded from the range.

Except for the effec's of the weather which are given elsewhere in this report, the year was one of steady and sound development. The building program of the previous year had been completed, and early in 1971 landscaping around the annex was finis3ed and the grounds once again were quiet and serene, suitable for study and contemplation by the thousands of persons who visit the garden each year. Among events which undoubtedly will mark this year in the garden's history are two, especially, which should be mentioned. The botanic garden is a member of the American Association of Museums and durinJ; the year we applied for accreditation by that organization. In August we were notified that we had been granted interim approval until an on-site evalu1tion of the institution could be made by the AAM Accredit1tion Visitin~ Commit­ tee. This visit is expected early in 1972. The second item of interest is that the botanic garden for the first time applied for a plant patent to cover a new hybrid which soon will be released to the horticultural trade.

  • J:\Projects\Monrovia Nursery EIR 2002-43\DRAFT EIR\4.9 Biological
    Monrovia Nursery Specific Plan and Project 4.9 Biological and Agricultural Resources Draft EIR 4.9 BIOLOGICAL AND AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY This section examines the potential for the proposed project to result in significant adverse impacts to agricultural and biological resources. The existence (or lack) of such resources in the project area and immediate surroundings were identified through consultation with appropriate local, state, and federal agencies, including the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), United States. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), the California Department of Conservation, and the City of Azusa. Biological surveys of the site were conducted by Glenn Lukos Associates, Inc. (GLA) from April to July 2002 to ascertain the nature of biological resources on the site and the potential for impacts (See Appendix G).1 Previous biological surveys were conducted by Michael Brandman Associates (MBA) in 1992 and 1996. MBA reports provided detailed descriptions of the site, including the nursery areas occupied by native habitats.2 3 4 The focus of the 2002 GLA surveys was determined through a review of the MBA reports, which can be viewed in the Rosedale Specific Plan EIR, also used to prepare this Section. Field studies were conducted and focused on a number of primary objectives: (1) confirmation of previous vegetation mapping; (2) focused plant surveys; (3) general wildlife surveys (including considerations of wildlife movement corridors); (4) focused surveys for the coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica californica); (5); focused surveys for Bell’s sage sparrow (Amphisipiza belli belli) and rufus crowned sparrow (Aimiophila ruficeps) and (6) raptor surveys, and an oak tree survey conducted in accordance with the Los Angeles County Oak Tree Permit requirements set forth in Title 22, Part 16 of the Los Angeles County Code (see Appendix G).

  • Review of Potential Edge Effects on the San
    REVIEW OF POTENTIAL EDGE EFFECTS ON THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY SPINEFLOWER (Chorizanthe parryi var. fernandina) Prepared for: Ahmanson Land Company and Beveridge & Diamond, LLP Prepared by: Conservation Biology Institute January 2000 INTRODUCTION The recent discovery of the San Fernando Valley spineflower (Chorizanthe parryi var. fernandina) on the Ahmanson Ranch project site in Ventura County, California prompted preliminary investigations into the biology of that taxon. The purpose of these studies is to develop a conservation strategy to protect, maintain, manage, and, possibly, reintroduce the spineflower into appropriate habitat. While the proposed development would remove a portion of the spineflower population, the majority of the known population is proposed to be conserved onsite. Residential development is planned adjacent to the proposed spineflower preserve area. An effective conservation strategy should emphasize preserve design and habitat and species management. Accepted principles of preserve design include maximizing the width of the buffer between development and sensitive resources, minimizing habitat loss, fragmentation, and edge effects, maximizing genetic diversity and connectivity with other habitat patches, maintaining adequate habitat to allow for spatial and temporal population fluctuations, and maintaining a sustainable population size,1 among others. Habitat and species management may be necessary to mitigate impacts from adjacent development and to maintain the functions and values of the population being conserved. This paper assesses potential impacts to the conserved spineflower population from adjacent development based on a review of the scientific literature on edge effects (adverse effects of land uses on adjacent biological resource areas, such as weed invasions or changes in hydrology). A thorough literature search on edge effects has not been conducted for this paper due to time limitations.
