Hazlett, Michael H. Schiebout, and Paulette L. Ford Hazlett, Donald L.; Schiebout, Michael H.; and Ford, Paulette L. 2009. Vascular plants and a brief history of the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS- GTR-233. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 44 p. Abstract Administered by the USDA Forest Service, the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands occupy 230,000 acres of public land extending from northeastern New Mexico into the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. A mosaic of topographic features including canyons, plateaus, rolling grasslands and outcrops supports a diverse flora. Eight hundred twenty six (826) species of vascular plant species representing 81 plant families are known to occur on or near these public lands. This report includes a history of the area; ethnobotanical information; an introductory overview of the area including its climate, geology, vegetation, habitats, fauna, and ecological history; and a plant survey and information about the rare, poisonous, and exotic species from the area. A vascular plant checklist of 816 vascular plant taxa in the appendix includes scientific and common names, habitat types, and general distribution data for each species. This list is based on extensive plant collections and available herbarium collections. Authors Donald L. Hazlett is an ethnobotanist, Director of New World Plants and People consulting, and a research associate at the Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver, CO. Michael H. Schiebout is currently a Ph.D, student at the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, CO. His floristic master’s work, with this same university, was in northeastern NM. Paulette L. Ford is a research ecologist with the USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station in Albuquerque, NM. Cover: The Canadian River in Mills Canyon (photo by Don Hazlett).

  • Fort Valley Experimental Forest-A Century of Research 1908-2008
    Vascular Plant Checklist of the Chimney Spring and Limestone Flats Prescribed Burning Study Areas Within Ponderosa Pine Experimental Forests in Northern Arizona Catherine Scudieri, School of Forestry, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ, USFS, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Flagstaff, AZ; James F. Fowler, Carolyn Hull Sieg, USFS, Rocky Mountain Research Station, Flagstaff, AZ; Laura Williams, Department of Biological Sciences, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ; and Sally M. Haase, USFS, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Riverside, CA Abstract—This paper presents a vascular plant species list for two sites that are part of a long-term study exploring the effects of varying fire intervals on forest characteristics includ- ing the abundance and composition of understory vegetation. The Chimney Spring study area is on the Fort Valley Experimental Forest near Flagstaff, AZ, and the Limestone Flats study area is on the Long Valley Experimental Forest, 90 km (56 mi) southeast of Flagstaff. Since 1976 (Chimney Spring) and 1977 (Limestone Flats), three replicates of each of seven burn intervals (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 years, plus unburned) have been maintained by the USFS Pacific Southwest Research Station. Each study area encompasses approximately 40 to 48 ha (99 to 119 acres) of dense ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forest. Our plant species list was generated through systematic sampling of the understory vegetation in 2006 and 2007 as well as surveys of the entire study areas for additional species. We documented a total of 147 species, with 96 species found at Chimney Spring and 123 species at Limestone Flats. There are eight introduced species on the list, with six introduced species found at Chimney Spring and seven found at Limestone Flats.

The ‘needlegrasses’ are char- acterized by having single-flowered spikelets and stout, terminally-awned lem- mas. We conducted a molecular phylogenetic study of the Stipeae (including all genera except Anemanthele) using a total of 94 species (nine species were used as outgroups) based on five plastid DNA regions (trnK-5’matK, matK, trnHGUG-psbA, trnL5’-trnF, and ndhF) and a single nuclear DNA region (ITS).

Executive Summary This survey was a continuation of several years of rare plant survey on San Juan Public Lands. Funding for the project was provided by San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management. Previous rare plant surveys on San Juan Public Lands by CNHP were conducted in conjunction with county wide surveys of La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan and San Miguel counties, with partial funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO); and in 2004, public lands only in Dolores and Montezuma counties, funded entirely by the San Juan Public Lands. Funding for 2005 was again provided by San Juan Public Lands. The primary emphases for field work in 2005 were: 1. revisit and update information on rare plant occurrences of agency sensitive species in the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database that were last observed prior to 2000, in order to have the most current information available for informing the revision of the Resource Management Plan for the San Juan Public Lands (BLM and San Juan National Forest); 2.

Baum Thesis Adviser Dr. Karen R. Hickman Dr. Dwayne Elmore ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to begin by thanking my advisor, Dr. Kristen Baum, for all of her guidance and expertise throughout this research project. She is an exemplary person to work with, and I am so grateful to have shared my graduate school experience with her. I would also like to recognize my committee members, Dr. Karen Hickman and Dr. Dwayne Elmore, both of whom provided valuable insight to this project. A huge thank you goes out to the Southern Plains Network of the National Park Service, specifically Robert Bennetts and Tomye Folts-Zettner. Without them, this project would not exist, and I am forever grateful to have been involved with their network and parks, both as a research student and summer crew member. A special thank you for Jonathin Horsely, who helped with plot selection, summer sampling, and getting my gear around. I would also like to thank the Baum Lab members, always offering their support and guidance as we navigated through graduate school. And lastly, I would like to thank my family, especially my fiancé Garrett, for believing in me and supporting me as I pursued my goals.
