Floristic Quality Assessment Report
FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al. -

Fire in the Southeastern Grasslands, By
Fire in the Southeastern Grasslands RICHARD J. VOGL Department of Biology California State University Los Angeles, CA 90032 INTRODUCTION ~ERE has been more research on the effects of fire in the southeastern United States than in any region of North America. Most studies have been concerned with the effects of fire on the trees, including the role of fire in controlling hardwood suc cession, fire damage to trees, the effects of fire on soils and litter, the influence of fire on conifer growth and reproduction, and the relationships of fire to tree diseases (Garren 1943; Ahlgren and Ahlgren 1960; Cushwa 1968). A lesser, but stilI substantial number of studies have been focused on the effects of fire on forage yields and livestock production (Wahlenberg et al. 1939), and the use of fire in wildlife management in the Southeast. But academic or phy tosociological studies of the vegetational composition and of the effects of fire on the understory vegetation are generally lacking. Except for some range and wildlife research and several general studies (Wells and Shunk 1931; Leukel and St<Jkes 1939; Biswell and Lemon 1943; Burton 1944; Lemon 1949, 1967; Campbell 1955; Biswell1958; Hodgkins 1958; Arata 1959; Cushwa et al. 1966, 1970; Wolters 1972) , most investigators have ignored the herbaceous cover or grassland vegetation under southeastern trees. Even early botanists often became more interested in the unusual botanical features such as the southern extent of Appalachian tree species (Harper 1943, 1952), the description of the silaceous dunes of the 175 RICHARD J. VOGL Gulf Coast (Kurz 1942), the habits of eastern red cedar (Harper 1912), the vegetation of the Okefenokee Swamp (Wright and Wright 1932), or why the Black Belt Prairie of Alabama was treeless (Ranking and Davis 1971), thereby neglecting the widespread and common grassland vegetation and its relationship to fire. -
