    Sonoran Joint Venture Bird Conservation Plan Version 1.0 Sonoran Joint Venture 738 N. 5th Avenue, Suite 102 Tucson, AZ 85705 520-882-0047 (phone) 520-882-0037 (fax) www.sonoranjv.org May 2006 Sonoran Joint Venture Bird Conservation Plan Version 1.0 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Acknowledgments We would like to thank all of the members of the Sonoran Joint Venture Technical Committee for their steadfast work at meetings and for reviews of this document. The following Technical Committee meetings were devoted in part or total to working on the Bird Conservation Plan: Tucson, June 11-12, 2004; Guaymas, October 19-20, 2004; Tucson, January 26-27, 2005; El Palmito, June 2-3, 2005, and Tucson, October 27-29, 2005. Another major contribution to the planning process was the completion of the first round of the northwest Mexico Species Assessment Process on May 10-14, 2004. Without the data contributed and generated by those participants we would not have been able to successfully assess and prioritize all bird species in the SJV area. Writing the Conservation Plan was truly a group effort of many people representing a variety of agencies, NGOs, and universities. Primary contributors are recognized at the beginning of each regional chapter in which they participated. The following agencies and organizations were involved in the plan: Arizona Game and Fish Department, Audubon Arizona, Centro de Investigación Cientifica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada (CICESE), Centro de Investigación de Alimentación y Desarrollo (CIAD), Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas (CONANP), Instituto del Medio Ambiente y el Desarrollo (IMADES), PRBO Conservation Science, Pronatura Noroeste, Proyecto Corredor Colibrí, Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT), Sonoran Institute, The Hummingbird Monitoring Network, Tucson Audubon Society, U.S.

  • The Chaparral Vegetation in Mexico Under Nonmediterranean Climate: the Convergence and Madrean-Tethyan Hypotheses Reconsidered1
    American Journal of Botany 85(10): 1398±1408. 1998. THE CHAPARRAL VEGETATION IN MEXICO UNDER NONMEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE: THE CONVERGENCE AND MADREAN-TETHYAN HYPOTHESES RECONSIDERED1 ALFONSO VALIENTE-BANUET,2,4 NOEÂ FLORES-HERNAÂ NDEZ,2 MIGUEL VERDUÂ ,3 AND PATRICIA DAÂ VILA3 2Instituto de EcologõÂa, Universidad Nacional AutoÂnoma de MeÂxico, Apartado Postal 70±275, UNAM, 04510 MeÂxico, D.F.; and 3UBIPRO, ENEP-Iztacala, Universidad Nacional AutoÂnoma de MeÂxico, Apartado Postal 314, MeÂxico, 54090, Tlalnepantla, MeÂxico A comparative study between an unburned evergreen sclerophyllous vegetation located in south-central Mexico under a wet-summer climate, with mediterranean regions was conducted in order to re-analyze vegetation and plant characters claimed to converge under mediterranean climates. The comparison considered ¯oristic composition, plant-community struc- ture, and plant characters as adaptations to mediterranean climates and analyzed them by means of a correspondence analysis, considering a tropical spiny shrubland as the external group. We made a species register of the number of species that resprouted after a ®re occurred in 1995 and a distribution map of the evergreen sclerophyllous vegetation in Mexico (mexical) under nonmediterranean climates. The TehuacaÂn mexical does not differ from the evergreen sclerophyllous areas of Chile, California, Australia, and the Mediterranean Basin, according to a correspondence analysis, which ordinated the TehuacaÂn mexical closer to the mediter- ranean areas than to the external group. All the vegetation and ¯oristic characteristics of the mexical, as well as its distribution along the rain-shadowed mountain parts of Mexico, support its origin in the Madrean-Tethyan hypothesis of Axelrod. Therefore, these results allow to expand the convergence paradigm of the chaparral under an integrative view, in which a general trend to aridity might explain ¯oristic and adaptive patterns detected in these environments.

  • Draft Vegetation Communities of San Diego County
    DRAFT VEGETATION COMMUNITIES OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY Based on “Preliminary Descriptions of the Terrestrial Natural Communities of California” prepared by Robert F. Holland, Ph.D. for State of California, The Resources Agency, Department of Fish and Game (October 1986) Codes revised by Thomas Oberbauer (February 1996) Revised and expanded by Meghan Kelly (August 2006) Further revised and reorganized by Jeremy Buegge (March 2008) March 2008 Suggested citation: Oberbauer, Thomas, Meghan Kelly, and Jeremy Buegge. March 2008. Draft Vegetation Communities of San Diego County. Based on “Preliminary Descriptions of the Terrestrial Natural Communities of California”, Robert F. Holland, Ph.D., October 1986. March 2008 Draft Vegetation Communities of San Diego County Introduction San Diego’s vegetation communities owe their diversity to the wide range of soil and climatic conditions found in the County. The County encompasses desert, mountainous and coastal conditions over a wide range of elevation, precipitation and temperature changes. These conditions provide niches for endemic species and a wide range of vegetation communities. San Diego County is home to over 200 plant and animal species that are federally listed as rare, endangered, or threatened. The preservation of this diversity of species and habitats is important for the health of ecosystem functions, and their economic and intrinsic values. In order to effectively classify the wide variety of vegetation communities found here, the framework developed by Robert Holland in 1986 has been added to and customized for San Diego County. To supplement the original Holland Code, additions were made by Thomas Oberbauer in 1996 to account for unique habitats found in San Diego and to account for artificial habitat features (i.e., 10,000 series).

  • Nr 222 Native Tree, Shrub, & Herbaceous Plant
    NR 222 NATIVE TREE, SHRUB, & HERBACEOUS PLANT IDENTIFICATION BY RONALD L. ALVES FALL 2014 NR 222 by Ronald L. Alves Note to Students NOTE TO STUDENTS: THIS DOCUMENT IS INCOMPLETE WITH OMISSIONS, ERRORS, AND OTHER ITEMS OF INCOMPETANCY. AS YOU MAKE USE OF IT NOTE THESE TRANSGRESSIONS SO THAT THEY MAY BE CORRECTED AND YOU WILL RECEIVE A CLEAN COPY BY THE END OF TIME OR THE SEMESTER, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST!! THANKING YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE THAT YOU MAY GIVE, RON ALVES. Introduction This manual was initially created by Harold Whaley an MJC Agriculture and Natural Resources instruction from 1964 – 1992. The manual was designed as a resource for a native tree and shrub identification course, Natural Resources 222 that was one of the required courses for all forestry and natural resource majors at the college. The course and the supporting manual were aimed almost exclusively for forestry and related majors. In addition to NR 222 being taught by professor Whaley, it has also been taught by Homer Bowen (MJC 19xx -), Marlies Boyd (MJC 199X – present), Richard Nimphius (MJC 1980 – 2006) and currently Ron Alves (MJC 1974 – 2004). Each instructor put their own particular emphasis and style on the course but it was always oriented toward forestry students until 2006. The lack of forestry majors as a result of the Agriculture Department not having a full time forestry instructor to recruit students and articulate with industry has resulted in a transformation of the NR 222 course. The clientele not only includes forestry major, but also landscape designers, environmental horticulture majors, nursery people, environmental science majors, and people interested in transforming their home and business landscapes to a more natural venue.

  • Desert Plants of Utah
    DESERT PLANTS OF UTAH Original booklet and drawings by Berniece A. Andersen Revised May 1996 HG 505 FOREWORD The original Desert Plants of Utah by Berniece A. Andersen has been a remarkably popular book, serving as a tribute to both her botanical knowledge of the region and to her enthusiastic manner. For these reasons, we have tried to retain as much of the original work, in both content and style, as possible. Some modifications were necessary. We have updated scientific names in accordance with changes that have occurred since the time of the first publication and we have also incorporated new geographic distributional data that have accrued with additional years of botanical exploration. The most obvious difference pertains to the organization of species. In the original version, species were organized phylogenetically, reflecting the predominant concepts of evolutionary relationships among plant families at that time. In an effort to make this version more user-friendly for the beginner, we have chosen to arrange the plants primarily by flower color. We hope that these changes will not diminish the enjoyment gained by anyone familiar with the original. We would also like to thank Larry A. Rupp, Extension Horticulture Specialist, for critical review of the draft and for the cover photo. Linda Allen, Assistant Curator, Intermountain Herbarium Donna H.

NESOM 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, Texas 76109 [email protected] ABSTRACT Each of the four subspecies of Garrya ovata sensu Dahling 1958 is recognized here at specific rank: Garrya ovata Benth., Garrya lindheimeri Torrey, Garrya goldmanii Woot. & Standl., and Garrya mexicana (Dahling) Nesom, comb. nov. Garrya lindheimeri and G. goldmanii occur in the USA and Mexico; the other two are endemic to Mexico. A lectotype is designated for Garrya lindheimeri . KEY WORDS : Garrya ovata , Garryaceae, USA, Mexico Garrya ovata Benth. was treated by Dahling (1958) as comprising four subspecies. All four taxa are treated here at specific rank, as G. goldmanii , G. lindheimeri , G. mexicana , and G. ovata in the strict sense. Morphological differences among these four Garrya species appear to be primarily in leaf morphology and vestiture. Rationale for their treatment at specific rank emphasizes aspects of geography, particularly these: (a) G. mexicana is geographically separate from the other three varieties; (b) G. lindheimeri and G. goldmanii have non-overlapping ranges, habitats, and morphologies in Texas; intergradation occurs where they are sympatric in Coahuila, but even where they co-occur they remain distinct for the most part; (c) typical G. ovata is sympatric with G. lindheimeri within southern Nuevo León, but they apparently do not intergrade. The phylogenetic analysis of ITS data by Burge (2011) found that Garrya lindheimeri and G. mexicana show a sister relationship, but G.

  • A California-Friendly Guide to Native and Drought Tolerant Gardens
    A California-Friendly Guide to Native and Drought Tolerant Gardens 1 Scale: 1/4” = 1’ 2 WELCOME to our newest edition of “A California-Friendly Guide to Native and Drought Tolerant Gardens”, a collection of plants featured in our customer newsletter, The Current Flow, plus useful information. This publication is intended to help beginning and experienced gardeners become familiar with the different varieties of plants that can help reduce water usage while providing a pleasing and attractive landscape. Native and drought tolerant plants are important for this region, not just because they are water efficient, but because they are the cornerstone of biological diversity and the foundations of the native ecosystems in our local Santa Monica Mountains environment. Using “California-friendly” plants for everything from backyard gardens to wide scale re-vegetation is a positive practice that will benefit the local habitat and all residents who live here. With our current climate conditions of increasing warmth and less moisture, more and more Californians are becoming interested in replacing high-maintenance, lawns that require a lot of water and fertilizers, with water-conserving plants. These can be anything from ground covers to a field of meadow flowers to stately oak trees – they all provide the benefits of lower water needs, reduced maintenance requirements, restored soil health, increased diversity that attracts birds and butterflies, as well as the aesthetic beauty of blending in with the natural landscapes. Visit www.LVMWD.com for conservation information including irrigation tips, how to obtain and use Community Compost, rebate programs, how to register for landscape and garden classes, controlling urban runoff, and more.

  • Sky Islands” in Central and Southern Baja California and Implications of Packrat Midden Records on Climate Change Since the Last Glacial Maximum
    CONSERVATION ScIENCE IN MEXICO’S NORTHWEST EcOSYSTEM STATUS AND TRENDS IN THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA Elisabet V. Wehncke, José Rubén Lara-Lara, Saúl Álvarez-Borrego, and Exequiel Ezcurra EDITORS DISTRIBUTION OF CHAPARRAL AND PINE-OAK “sky ISLANDs” IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN BAJA CALIFORNIA AND IMPLICATIONS OF PACKRAT MIDDEN RECORDS ON CLIMATE CHANGE SINCE THE LAST GLACIAL MAXIMUM Richard A. Minnich,1 Ernesto Franco-Vizcaíno,2 3 and Brett R. Goforth4 Chaparral, the evergreen sclerophyllous scrub characteristic of the mediterranean- climate region of North America, grows extensively in dense stands from northern California to lat. 30ºN, but thins to a few isolated populations or “sky islands” on the highest mountains in the Central Desert of Baja California (~30º–27.5º N lat.), as well as on the highlands of Isla Cedros. Chaparral also occurs in small outlying populations at lower elevations in the Central Desert, and as understory in tropical thorn scrub and montane Mexican pine-oak woodland, extending nearly to Cabo San Lucas. We present the first detailed maps of chaparral populations in the north central and Mexican pine-oak woodlands in the southern Peninsula, interpreted from Google Earth™ imagery and herbarium databases. We also compare the pres- ent distribution of chaparral with available records from Pleistocene–Early Holo- cene packrat middens. We show that chaparral is unexpectedly widespread in the Central Desert and propose, on the basis of the cistern effect of bedrock surfaces of midden sites and the physical equatorward limit of jet stream precipitation, that climate change since the Last Glacial Maximum was not as pronounced as has been suggested in studies of packrat middens.

  • Quercus Turbinella - Quercus Rugosa - Quercus Hypoleucoides] Shrubland Association (P) [Sonoran Scrub Oak - Netleaf Oak - Silverleaf Oak] Shrubland Association
    #14 [Quercus turbinella - Quercus rugosa - Quercus hypoleucoides] Shrubland Association (P) [Sonoran scrub oak - Netleaf oak - Silverleaf oak] Shrubland Association This shrubland community is characterized by moderately dense (30%) subcanopy stratum (0.5–2 m) co-dominated by Sonoran scrub oak (Quer- Common species cus turbinella), netleaf oak (Quercus rugosa), and silverleaf oak (Quercus Quercus turbinella hypoleucoides). These species are present as large shrubs (2 m) to small, Quercus rugosa shrubby trees (3 m) providing cover ranging from 5 to 12% each. In general, Quercus hypoleucoides Sonoran scrub oak (Q. turbinella) tends to occupy the more exposed por- Garrya wrightii tions of this community, while the other two tend to occupy more sheltered Muhlenbergia emersleyi portions often adjacent to cliff bands. Arizona white oak (Quercus arizo- nica) is a transitional associate most common on the lower slopes, where it begins to replace netleaf oak (Q. rugosa). Wright’s silktassel (Garrya wrightii) is the most common associate throughout this community. The field stratum (<0.5 m) is generally sparse (<10%), with low-cover provided by bullgrass (Muhlenbergia emersleyi), white sagebrush (Artemisia ludoviciana), New Mexico fleabane Erigeron( neomexicanus), single threeawn (Aristida schiedeana), and oakwoods prairie clover (Dalea versicolor). Overall, this community covers 0.3% (7 ha, 17 ac) of the park, primarily on steep (50+%) mountain backslopes of varying aspects at 1,860–2,120 meters (6,102–7,000 ft). Often, this community abuts large, typically north- facing bedrock cliff bands. The primary examples of this community are restricted to two slopes in the upper reaches of Montezuma Canyon, one on north side and one on the south.
