Lava Beds National Monument 34 CRATER LAKE National Park • PARK ACCESSIBLE ENTIRE YEAR • OCATED in southern Oregon, on the crest of the lofty Cascade Range, Crater Lake National Park has a high place among the Nation's I—^most scenic wonderlands. It is a gem of rare excellence, possessing unity of form and color. At Crater Lake visitors observe beauty in its truest sense and experience a profound inspirational appeal. Pervaded by an air of mystery, tranquillity now prevails where once unfathomable volcanic power was displayed. It is a shrine before which all may, with an attitude of reverence, pene­ trate the veil of the unknown to meet the realities of nature. The park now embraces an area of 250.52 square miles, or 160,333 acres, and was established by act of Congress on May 22, 1902. The lake rests in the very heart of a mighty mountain whose destruction resulted in the formation of a vast crater in which the waters accumulated. This body of bluest of waters in the world has no known inlets or outlets. It is dependent entirely on precipitation for its great depth. It is 6 miles wide, 2,000 feet deep, covers an area of 20 square miles, and has a circular shoreline of 26 miles, with multi-colored lava cliffs reaching out of mystic blue depths for another 2,000 feet.

  • Amazon Alive: a Decade of Discoveries 1999-2009
    Amazon Alive! A decade of discovery 1999-2009 The Amazon is the planet’s largest rainforest and river basin. It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.

  • Botanist Interior 43.1
    2011 THE MICHIGAN BOTANIST 129 THE MYCORRHIZAL SYSTEM OF PTEROSPORA ANDROMEDEA (PINE-DROPS) IN WEST MICHIGAN INFERRED FROM DNA SEQUENCE DATA Jianhua Li*, Jeffrey Corajod, Holly Vander Stel, and Austin Homkes Department of Biology Hope College 35 E 12th St., Schaap Science Center, Holland, MI 49423 ABSTRACT Pterospora andromedea is a mycoheterotrophic plant with a disjunct distribution between west - ern and eastern North America and obtains carbon and nutrients indirectly from photosynthetic plants via an ectomycorrhizal fungal bridge. In this study, we used DNA sequence data to determine the or - ganisms involved in the system in West Michigan. Our results suggest that at least two photosyn - thetic plants ( Tsuga and Acer ) are the potential carbon source of the system and that Pterospora is specifically associated with an unidentified species of subgenus Amylopogon of Rhizopogon . Previ - ous studies have shown that seed germination of Pterospora relies on chemical cues from the fungus, implying a dominant role of the fungus in the system. Our field observations suggest that repeated branching of Pterospora roots increases the mass production of the fungal mycelia and lead us to speculate that Pterospora may be a mutualistic partner, not a parasite or exploiter, in the mycorrhizal system. KEYWORDS: Pterospora , nrDNA ITS, rbc L, mutualism, mycorrhizal, subgenus Amylopogon , Rhizopogon . Pterospora andromedea Torr. (pine-drops) is a mycoheterotrophic plant rely - ing on fungal host for germination, growth, and development (Bakshi 1959 ). Molecular studies have shown its close relationship with other myco - heterotrophic plants in Ericaceae such as Monotropa , Allotropa , and Sarcodes (Cullings 1994 ; Kron et al. 2002 ). Pine-drops show a disjunct distribution between the eastern and western North America with an extension in the west to northern Mexico (Bakshi 1959 ).

  • Crater Lake U.S
    National Park National Park Service Crater Lake U.S. Department of the Interior People and Place Crater Lake has long attracted the wonder and admiration of people all over the world. Its depth of 1,932 feet (589 meters) makes it the deepest lake in the United States. The lake was formed after the collapse of an ancient vol­ cano now called Mount Mazama. This collapse formed a "caldera" which is a Spanish word for "kettle" or "boiler" and is used by geologists to describe a large basin-shaped volcanic depression. This eruption is estimated to have occurred 7,700 years ago. The interaction of people and this place is traceable for at least this many years. European contact is fairly recent, starting in 1853. First Sight In the spring of 1853, eleven miners three members from this party came from Yreka, California stopped in for upon a large body of water sitting in a supplies at Isaac Skeeter's mercantile huge depression.
