    "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.

  • SALT TOLERANT PLANTS for NORTH FLORIDA Customer

    SALT TOLERANT PLANTS for NORTH FLORIDA Customer

    Customer Information SALT TOLERANT PLANTS FOR NORTH FLORIDA Gardening near the coast can present some unique challenges for a home owner. Although soil and water containing excessive salt can occur even inland due to overapplication of fertilizers, dry periods which don’t allow leaching of salts, and poor quality irrigation water, it is an even bigger hazard on the coast. Here, sea spray can cover foliage and soil even a few miles from the ocean, and salt water can in- trude into ground water and wells. Most soils in Duval County test at less than 2 dS/m, a measure of sa- linity which is in the range of healthy plant growth. But local variation can occur, especially near the coast and in poorly draining sites, with soil salinity over 16 dS/m in some areas! Salts in the soil or irrigation prevent water from being properly taken up by roots. Plants may wilt even though the volume of water should be sufficient. With greater salinity, salts may pass into the root, leading to toxicity in the plant. Observable salt stress symptoms due to salinity ranges from stunted growth and reduced yields, leaf burn (chlorosis) or needle tip browning and necrosis, to eventual death of the entire plant. Damage from saline soils are evident more slowly than from salt spray, and salt in the soil causes burn on leaf margins whereas salt landing on foliage creates burns throughout the leaf. But these symptoms can resemble symptoms from many other factors including disease, drought and chemi- cal misuse. Testing your soil and irrigation water will reveal issues with salinity and help you diagnose and correct plant problems.

COROGIN A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2008 1 © 2008 Paul T. Corogin 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My sincere thanks go to Dr. Walter Judd, my supervisory committee chairman. His academic professionalism, his belief in my abilities, and his enthusiastic willingness to share his vast botanical expertise, have guided me invaluably in my academic aspirations, as well as in the production of this thesis. I also thank the other members of my committee. Dr. Doria Gordon’s knowledge of Florida habitats and her affiliation with The Nature Conservancy have given me insights concerning my study sites. Dr. David Hall’s expertise in the Florida flora has been of great assistance as I have puzzled over stacks of unidentified specimens. And the work and teaching of Dr. Francis “Jack” Putz have refined my understanding of ecology and natural history, and instilled in me a drive for academic perfection in my work. For their help in using the University of Florida Herbarium, I thank staff members Kent Perkins and Trudy Lindler. Thanks are also due to Richard Abbott, whose insightful pointers on many occasions helped me solve plant identification puzzles. I am grateful as well to the staff of The Nature Conservancy’s Lake Wales Ridge Program, especially Beatriz Pace-Aldana, Adam Peterson, and Steve Morrison, for their support and assistance throughout this project. I also thank Dr.
