  • Project Review
    Final Report January 2007 Title of Project: An Evaluation of the Nonvascular Plants of Concern in Clark County Investigator: Lloyd R. Stark, School of Life Sciences, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, NV 89154-4004, email [email protected], phone (702) 895-3119 Project No. 2003-NPS-331-P-2004-08 Duration of grant: Jan 2004 - Dec 2005 PROJECT REVIEW 1. What measurable goals did you set for this project and what indicators did you use to measure your performance? To what extent has your project achieved these goals and levels of performance? The major goal of this project was to find and assess populations of all eleven bryophyte (nonvascular) species of concern in Clark County, NV. These species are those classified as either "covered" or "evaluation" species based on listings in the Clark County Species Account Manual. Several of these species are notably rare on a global scale, whereas others are rare in the state of Nevada but relatively common outside of the state of Nevada. Assessment was to take the form of (i) estimating the number of populations present for each species, and (ii) estimating the health and projected future persistence of these populations based upon reproductive status of the species, life history attributes of the species, and land usage in the inhabited region. Secondary goals included revising the species on this list based on the findings in this project (i.e., some species may be suggested as not meriting formal listing, whereas others may be deserving of listing). The methods employed included a search of the pertinent literature relevant to each listed species of bryophyte coupled to an inventory of the Wesley Niles (UNLV) herbarium.

  • Mineral Content of Forage Plants of Mountain Sheep, Mojave Desert, USA
    California Fish and Game 103(2): 55-65; 2017 Mineral content of forage plants of mountain sheep, Mojave Desert, USA VERNON C. BLEICH,* MICHAEL W. OEHLER, AND R. TERRY BOWYER California Department of Fish and Game, 407 West Line Street, Bishop, CA 93514 and Department of Biology and Wildlife, University of Alaska Fairbanks, 902 North Koyukuk Dr., Fairbanks, AK 99775 (VCB, MWO) Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska Fairbanks, 902 North Koyukuk Drive, Fairbanks, AK 99775 (RTB) Current address: Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Science, University of Nevada Reno, 1664 North Virginia Street, Reno, NV 89557 (VCB) Current address: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, 1509 1st Avenue North, Fergus Falls, MN 56537 (MWO) *Correspondent: [email protected] The importance of trace minerals to living organisms is well established, albeit poorly studied in large, free-ranging mammals. We investigated concentrations of 11 minerals among 9 species of forage plants used by bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) in the Panamint Range, Inyo County, and at Old Dad Peak, San Bernardino County, California, USA. We sampled vegetation monthly, and used established protocols and analytical techniques to determine the concentrations of Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, P, K, Na, S, Zn, and Se. Our analyses indicated that differenc- es in concentrations of trace minerals and macro-minerals existed in forage plants between those mountain ranges, and likely portend similar differences among oth- er geographic areas. Our results emphasize the potential importance of testing for levels of minerals in forage plants by specific geographic area rather than relying on published information from other areas when those elements are thought to play meaningful roles in population performance of bighorn sheep or other ruminants.

  • Vascular Flora of West Clear Creek Wilderness, Coconino and Yavapai
    VASCULAR FLORA OF WEST CLEAR CREEK WILDERNESS, COCONINO AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES, ARIZONA By Wendy C. McBride A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biology Northern Arizona University May 2016 Approved: Tina J. Ayers, Ph.D., Chair Randall W. Scott, Ph.D. Liza M. Holeski, Ph.D. ABSTRACT VASCULAR FLORA OF WEST CLEAR CREEK WILDERNESS, COCONINO AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES, ARIZONA WENDY C. MCBRIDE West Clear Creek Wilderness bisects the Mogollon Rim in Arizona, and is nested between the Colorado Plateau and Basin and Range physiographic provinces. Between 2013 and 2016, a floristic inventory vouchered 542 taxa and reviewed 428 previous collections to produce a total plant inventory of 594 taxa from 93 families and 332 genera. The most species rich families Were Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Brassicaceae, Rosaceae, Plantaginaceae, Cyperaceae, and Polygonaceae. Carex, Erigeron, Bromus, Muhlenbergia, and Oenothera Were the most represented genera. Nonnative taxa accounted for seven percent of the total flora. Stachys albens was vouchered as a new state record for Arizona. New county records include Graptopetalum rusbyi (Coconino), Pseudognaphalium pringlei (Coconino), Phaseolus pedicellatus var. grayanus (Coconino), and Quercus rugosa (Coconino and Yavapai). This study quantified and contrasted native species diversity in canyon versus non- canyon floras across the Southwest. Analyses based on eighteen floras indicate that those centered about a major canyon feature shoW greater diversity than non-canyon floras. Regression models revealed that presence of a canyon Was a better predictor of similarity between floras than was the distance betWeen them. This study documents the remarkable diversity found Within canyon systems and the critical, yet varied, habitat they provide in the southwestern U.S.

    Natural Resources Conservation Service Ecological site R040XB216AZ Sandy Wash 7"-10" p.z. Accessed: 09/26/2021 General information Provisional. A provisional ecological site description has undergone quality control and quality assurance review. It contains a working state and transition model and enough information to identify the ecological site. Figure 1. Mapped extent Areas shown in blue indicate the maximum mapped extent of this ecological site. Other ecological sites likely occur within the highlighted areas. It is also possible for this ecological site to occur outside of highlighted areas if detailed soil survey has not been completed or recently updated. MLRA notes Major Land Resource Area (MLRA): 040X–Sonoran Basin and Range AZ 40.2 – Middle Sonoran Desert Elevations range from 1200 to 2000 feet and precipitation averages 7 to 10 inches per year. Vegetation includes saguaro, palo verde, creosotebush, triangle bursage, brittlebush, prickly pear, cholla, desert saltbush, wolfberry bush muhly, threeawns, and big galleta. The soil temperature regime is hyperthermic and the soil moisture regime is typic aridic. This unit occurs within the Basin and Range Physiographic Province and is characterized by numerous mountain ranges that rise abruptly from broad, plain-like valleys and basins. Igneous and metamorphic rock classes dominate the mountain ranges and sediments filling the basins represent combinations of fluvial, lacustrine, colluvial and alluvial deposits. Table 1. Dominant plant species Tree (1) Parkinsonia florida (2) Parkinsonia microphylla Shrub (1) Baccharis sarothroides (2) Salix gooddingii Herbaceous (1) Digitaria californica Physiographic features This site occurs on floodplains and alluvial fans. It benefits on a rgualr basis fro extra moisture received as overbank flooding and/or runoff from adjacent upland sites.

Soza & Richard G. Olmstead Department of Biology, University of Washington, Box 355325, Seattle, Washington 98195-5325, U.S.A. Author for correspondence: Valerie L. Soza, [email protected] Abstract Rubieae are centered in temperate regions and characterized by whorls of leaf-like structures on their stems. Previous studies that primarily included Old World taxa identified seven major clades with no resolution between and within clades. In this study, a molecular phylogeny of the tribe, based on three chloroplast regions (rpoB-trnC, trnC-psbM, trnL-trnF-ndhJ) from 126 Old and New World taxa, is estimated using parsimony and Bayesian analyses. Seven major clades are strongly supported within the tribe, confirming previous studies. Relationships within and between these seven major clades are also strongly supported. In addition, the position of Callipeltis, a previously unsampled genus, is identified. The resulting phylogeny is used to examine geographic distribution patterns and evolution of leaf-like whorls in the tribe. An Old World origin of the tribe is inferred from parsimony and likelihood ancestral state reconstructions. At least eight subsequent dispersal events into North America occurred from Old World ancestors. From one of these dispersal events, a radiation into North America, followed by subsequent diversification in South America, occurred. Parsimony and likelihood ancestral state reconstructions infer the ancestral whorl morphology of the tribe as composed of six organs. Whorls composed of four organs are derived from whorls with six or more organs.
