Ecosystems are that complex interdependent relationship of living things, organic and inorganic material (from microbes to mammals, mountains and rocks) that in healthy combination support a chain of life that includes our own. Invasive and non native plants can disrupt that chain by outcompeting and replacing native species, reducing species diversity and altering natural ecological patterns. There are consequences from the reduction or elimination of native species in this chain that we have all come to depend on for clean water, clean air and abundant food. Invasive or non native vegetation offers no value in supporting ecosystems but instead do damage as they easily proliferate past his property lines onto neighbors' yards, parkland and other open spaces. This guide is intended to be a comprehensive resource for homeowners and developers interested in supporting the valuable environmental services provided by native plants in their landscaping plans. It includes a list of vegetation native to this region followed by sections where those plants are listed in various landscaping use categories i.e. deer resistant, erosion control, salt tolerant, bird habitat etc. It will serve as a guide toward the important goal of providing environmental services and habitat values for wildlife as well as aesthetic qualities. By providing native habitat to support healthy ecosystems, homeowners can be good backyard environmental stewards on a quarter acre lot every bit as much as an estate or large preserve. Environmentalists, recognizing the inevitable development of open space, calculate that the most promising and largest opportunity for native plant preservation may be the perimeter and backyards of subdivision homes. The native plant options for this "open space," all good alternatives to invasive non natives plants, are available in local nurseries and more information is readily available at the Native Plant Center at Westchester Community College. The Conservation Advisory Council has noted that most home builders and developers support using native plantings in their landscaping plans for new construction, recognizing the aesthetic, environmental and marketing value. It is though left to the homeowner to continue to support this valuable contribution to maintaining good ecosystems. We hope that this guide will provide an efficient and easy resource for everyone from home gardeners to landscape architects. A lot is at stake including recreational fishing and boating, agriculture, healthy bee populations and the simple pleasure of seeing butterflies in our backyards.

  • "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.

  • A Preliminary Survey of Plant Distribution in Ohio.* John H
    A PRELIMINARY SURVEY OF PLANT DISTRIBUTION IN OHIO.* JOHN H. SCHAFFNER. The following data are presented as a preliminary basis for field work in determining the natural plant areas of Ohio. It is hoped that the botanists of the State will begin active study of local conditions with a view to determine natural or transition boundaries as well as cataloging local associations. The distri- bution lists are based on herbarium material and more than 15 years of sporadic botanizing in the state. Of course, distribution at present indicates to a considerable extent merely the distri- bution of enthusiastic botanists and their favorite collecting grounds. Nevertheless, enough has been done to indicate in a rough way the general character of our plant geography. The kind of data most important in indicating characteristic areas are as follows:— 1. Meteorological data. 2. Geology, including the nature of the surface rock and soil. 3. Physiography and topography. 4. The actual distribution of characteristic species of plants and to some extent of animals. In Ohio, the following important maps may be studied in this connection:— Meteorology. By Otto E. Jennings in Ohio Naturalist 3: 339-345, 403-409, 1903. Maps I-XII. By J. Warren Smith in Bull. Ohio Agr. Exp. Station No. 235, 1912. Figs. 3-14. Geology. By J. A.

  • Coastal Landscaping in Massachusetts Plant List
    Coastal Landscaping in Massachusetts Plant List This PDF document provides additional information to supplement the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Coastal Landscaping website. The plants listed below are good choices for the rugged coastal conditions of Massachusetts. The Coastal Beach Plant List, Coastal Dune Plant List, and Coastal Bank Plant List give recommended species for each specified location (some species overlap because they thrive in various conditions). Photos and descriptions of selected species can be found on the following pages: • Grasses and Perennials • Shrubs and Groundcovers • Trees CZM recommends using native plants wherever possible. The vast majority of the plants listed below are native (which, for purposes of this fact sheet, means they occur naturally in eastern Massachusetts). Certain non-native species with specific coastal landscaping advantages that are not known to be invasive have also been listed. These plants are labeled “not native,” and their state or country of origin is provided. (See definitions for native plant species and non-native plant species at the end of this fact sheet.) Coastal Beach Plant List Plant List for Sheltered Intertidal Areas Sheltered intertidal areas (between the low-tide and high-tide line) of beach, marsh, and even rocky environments are home to particular plant species that can tolerate extreme fluctuations in water, salinity, and temperature. The following plants are appropriate for these conditions along the Massachusetts coast. Black Grass (Juncus gerardii) native Marsh Elder (Iva frutescens) native Saltmarsh Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) native Saltmeadow Cordgrass (Spartina patens) native Sea Lavender (Limonium carolinianum or nashii) native Spike Grass (Distichlis spicata) native Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) native Plant List for a Dry Beach Dry beach areas are home to plants that can tolerate wind, wind-blown sand, salt spray, and regular interaction with waves and flood waters.

  • Streamhead Canebrakes Are Treeless Or Sparsely Treed Vegetation Dominated by Arundinaria Tecta in Seepage-Fed Drainages
    STREAMHEAD CANEBRAKE Concept: Streamhead Canebrakes are treeless or sparsely treed vegetation dominated by Arundinaria tecta in seepage-fed drainages. Tree plus broadleaf shrub cover is generally less than 25 percent in good examples but may be higher if fire frequency has been reduced. Most of this rare community type is in the Sandhills Region, but it might occur in sand dune areas elsewhere in the Coastal Plain. Distinguishing Features: Streamhead Canebrakes are distinguished from other communities of seepage-fed streamheads by the dominance of Arundinaria tecta combined with low cover of trees and other shrubs (less than 25 percent). They are distinguished from Peatland Canebrakes by occurring in streamheads rather than in flat or domed peatlands, Carolina bays, or shallow outer Coastal Plain swales. Synonyms: Arundinaria gigantea ssp. tecta Shrubland (CEGL003843) (not distinguished from Peatland Canebrake in NVC). Atlantic Coastal Plain Streamhead Seepage Swamp, Pocosin and Baygall (CES203.252). Sites: Streamhead Canebrakes occur along mucky headwater and small stream bottoms in dissected sandhill areas, where soils are kept saturated by seepage. Soils: Soils are mucky mineral soils, most often mapped as Johnston (Cumulic Humaquept). Hydrology: Hydrology is typical of the theme as a whole, with long-term saturation by nutrient- poor water but with little or no stream flooding or standing water. Vegetation: Vegetation consists of a dense thicket of Arundinaria tecta and limited cover of broadleaf shrubs. Pinus serotina, Liriodendron tulipifera, Pinus taeda, Nyssa biflora, and Magnolia virginiana may form a sparse canopy. Any of the species of Streamhead Pocosin may be present in moderate numbers. Lyonia lucida is the most abundant other shrub in CVS plot data.
