  • The Vegetation of Robinson Crusoe Island (Isla Masatierra), Juan
    The Vegetation ofRobinson Crusoe Island (Isla Masatierra), Juan Fernandez Archipelago, Chile1 Josef Greimler,2,3 Patricio Lopez 5., 4 Tod F. Stuessy, 2and Thomas Dirnbiick5 Abstract: Robinson Crusoe Island of the Juan Fernandez Archipelago, as is the case with many oceanic islands, has experienced strong human disturbances through exploitation ofresources and introduction of alien biota. To understand these impacts and for purposes of diversity and resource management, an accu­ rate assessment of the composition and structure of plant communities was made. We analyzed the vegetation with 106 releves (vegetation records) and subsequent Twinspan ordination and produced a detailed colored map at 1: 30,000. The resultant map units are (1) endemic upper montane forest, (2) endemic lower montane forest, (3) Ugni molinae shrubland, (4) Rubus ulmifolius­ Aristotelia chilensis shrubland, (5) fern assemblages, (6) Libertia chilensis assem­ blage, (7) Acaena argentea assemblage, (8) native grassland, (9) weed assemblages, (10) tall ruderals, and (11) cultivated Eucalyptus, Cupressus, and Pinus. Mosaic patterns consisting of several communities are recognized as mixed units: (12) combined upper and lower montane endemic forest with aliens, (13) scattered native vegetation among rocks at higher elevations, (14) scattered grassland and weeds among rocks at lower elevations, and (15) grassland with Acaena argentea. Two categories are included that are not vegetation units: (16) rocks and eroded areas, and (17) settlement and airfield. Endemic forests at lower elevations and in drier zones of the island are under strong pressure from three woody species, Aristotelia chilensis, Rubus ulmifolius, and Ugni molinae. The latter invades native forests by ascending dry slopes and ridges.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Tree Ferns: Monophyletic Groups and Their Relationships As Revealed by Four Protein-Coding Plastid Loci
    Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 39 (2006) 830–845 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Tree ferns: Monophyletic groups and their relationships as revealed by four protein-coding plastid loci Petra Korall a,b,¤, Kathleen M. Pryer a, Jordan S. Metzgar a, Harald Schneider c, David S. Conant d a Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA b Department of Phanerogamic Botany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden c Albrecht-von-Haller Institute für PXanzenwissenschaften, Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen, Germany d Natural Science Department, Lyndon State College, Lyndonville, VT 05851, USA Received 3 October 2005; revised 22 December 2005; accepted 2 January 2006 Available online 14 February 2006 Abstract Tree ferns are a well-established clade within leptosporangiate ferns. Most of the 600 species (in seven families and 13 genera) are arbo- rescent, but considerable morphological variability exists, spanning the giant scaly tree ferns (Cyatheaceae), the low, erect plants (Plagiogy- riaceae), and the diminutive endemics of the Guayana Highlands (Hymenophyllopsidaceae). In this study, we investigate phylogenetic relationships within tree ferns based on analyses of four protein-coding, plastid loci (atpA, atpB, rbcL, and rps4). Our results reveal four well-supported clades, with genera of Dicksoniaceae (sensu Kubitzki, 1990) interspersed among them: (A) (Loxomataceae, (Culcita, Pla- giogyriaceae)), (B) (Calochlaena, (Dicksonia, Lophosoriaceae)), (C) Cibotium, and (D) Cyatheaceae, with Hymenophyllopsidaceae nested within. How these four groups are related to one other, to Thyrsopteris, or to Metaxyaceae is weakly supported. Our results show that Dicksoniaceae and Cyatheaceae, as currently recognised, are not monophyletic and new circumscriptions for these families are needed. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.

  • Tree Fern (Dicksoniaceae and Cyathaceae) Allelopathy in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Katie Heckendom and Melody Saeman
    Tree fern (Dicksoniaceae and Cyathaceae) Allelopathy in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Katie Heckendom and Melody Saeman Albertson College of Idaho University of Wisconsin-Madison _____________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The purpose of this experiment was to look at the effects of Allelopathy between six species of tree ferns in the Monteverde Cloud Forest. We analyzed these effects by comparing plant abundances under the tree ferns to controls. We also compared controls to germination of seeds and spores grown with water or leachate made from the tree fern fronds. We found significantly higher plant abundances in controls than under the tree ferns. Also significantly less seed and spore germination than controls was found. There was not a significant difference between species of tree ferns in their inhibition of plants under the tree ferns. We did observe a difference in allelopathic effects on germinating tomato seeds and Dicksonia gigantea spores, though not for Lophosoria quadripinnata spores. These results lead us to conclude that Allelopathy in nature is affected by other factors such as facilitation or competition but different species of tree ferns do show differing levels of Allelopathy. Allelopathy in tree ferns inhibits spores more than seeds indicating that more closely related species inhibit each other more, at least in this case. Also we confirmed previous studies that found Allelopathy in tree ferns. RESUMEN El propósito de nuestro experimento debía mirar los efectos de alelopatía entre seis especies de helechos arborecentes. En el Bosque de Nube de Monteverde. Analizamos estos efectos comparando planta las abundancias bajo los helechos arborecentes a controles. Comparamos también los controles a la germinación de semillas y esporas crecidas con agua o leachate hizo de las trundas del helecho de árbol.

  • Historical Reconstruction of Climatic and Elevation Preferences and the Evolution of Cloud Forest-Adapted Tree Ferns in Mesoamerica
    Historical reconstruction of climatic and elevation preferences and the evolution of cloud forest-adapted tree ferns in Mesoamerica Victoria Sosa1, Juan Francisco Ornelas1,*, Santiago Ramírez-Barahona1,* and Etelvina Gándara1,2,* 1 Departamento de Biología Evolutiva, Instituto de Ecología AC, Carretera antigua a Coatepec, El Haya, Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico 2 Instituto de Ciencias/Herbario y Jardín Botánico, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Puebla, Mexico * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Background. Cloud forests, characterized by a persistent, frequent or seasonal low- level cloud cover and fragmented distribution, are one of the most threatened habitats, especially in the Neotropics. Tree ferns are among the most conspicuous elements in these forests, and ferns are restricted to regions in which minimum temperatures rarely drop below freezing and rainfall is high and evenly distributed around the year. Current phylogeographic data suggest that some of the cloud forest-adapted species remained in situ or expanded to the lowlands during glacial cycles and contracted allopatrically during the interglacials. Although the observed genetic signals of population size changes of cloud forest-adapted species including tree ferns correspond to predicted changes by Pleistocene climate change dynamics, the observed patterns of intraspecific lineage divergence showed temporal incongruence. Methods. Here we combined phylogenetic analyses, ancestral area reconstruction, and divergence time estimates with climatic and altitudinal data (environmental space) for phenotypic traits of tree fern species to make inferences about evolutionary processes Submitted 29 May 2016 in deep time. We used phylogenetic Bayesian inference and geographic and altitudinal Accepted 18 October 2016 distribution of tree ferns to investigate ancestral area and elevation and environmental Published 16 November 2016 preferences of Mesoamerican tree ferns.

  • Structure & Classification of Pteridophytes
    B.Sc. Hons – Part I Dept. of Botany Dr. R. K. Sinha Structure & classification of Pteridophytes Pteridophyta Before the flowering plants, the landscape was dominated with plants that looked like ferns for hundreds of millions of years. Today, their massive lineage have descendants that have almost the same characteristics as their ancient ancestors. Unlike most other members of the Plant Kingdom, pteridophytes don’t reproduce through seeds; they reproduce through spores instead. Pteridophyta Classification Pteridophyta can be classified into: Lycopodiopsida 1. Lycopodiidae (club mosses) 2. Selaginellidae (quillworts, spike mosses) Polypodiopsida 1. Psilotidae: Ophioglossales (e.g. grape ferns) and Psilotales (whisk ferns). 2. Equisetidae (horsetails) pg. 1 B.Sc. Hons – Part I Dept. of Botany Dr. R. K. Sinha 3. Polypodiidae (leptosporangiate ferns, the most species-rich group) 4. Marattiidae (marattioid ferns) Pteridophyta Characteristics 1. Pteridophytes are the first true land plants: It is speculated that life began in the oceans, and through millions of years of evolution, life slowly adapted on to dry land. And among the first of the plants to truly live on land were the Pteridophytes. 2. They are seedless, vascular cryptogams: Pteridophytes are seedless, and they procreate through spores. They don’t have conducting tissues for transportation of water and minerals. Instead, the water and minerals flow from the surface of the plant- cell to cell in the plant’s body. This is also one of the reasons why these plants need a constantly moist environment to survive. 3. They show true alternation of generations: The sporophyte generation and the gametophyte generation are observed in Pteridophytes.
