The first phase of the natural fuels photo series was a collection of six volumes, each representing a region of the United States (Volumes I-VI). Additional phases included new volumes (Volumes VII-X, XII) and supplemental volumes (Volumes IIa, Va, VIa). Volume I included sites in mixed-conifer, western juniper, sagebrush, and grassland ecosystems in the interior Pacific Northwest. Volume II included sites in black and white spruce ecosystems in Alaska, and volume IIa included sites in hardwood ecosystems undergoing succession to spruce. Volume III included sites in lodgepole pine, quaking aspen, and gambel oak ecosystems in the Rocky Mountains. Volume IV included sites in pinyon-juniper, sagebrush, and chaparral ecosystems in the Southwest. Volume V included sites in red and white pine, northern tallgrass prairie, and mixed-oak ecosystems in the Midwest, and volume Va included sites in jack pine ecosystems. Volume VI included sites in longleaf pine, pocosin, and marsh grass ecosystems in the Southeast, volume VIa included sites in sand hill, sand pine scrub, and white pine-invaded hardwood ecosystems, and volume XII included sites in post-hurricane fuels. Volume VII included sites in Oregon white oak, California deciduous oak, and mixed conifer with shrub ecosystems in Washington, Oregon, and California. Volume VIII included sites in hardwood, pitch pine, and red spruce/balsam fir ecosystems in the Northeast. Volume IX included sites in oak/juniper ecosystems in Arizona and New Mexico. Volume X included sites in sagebrush with grass and ponderosa pine-juniper ecosystems in central Montana. An unnumbered volume included grassland, shrubland, woodland, and forest ecosystems in Hawaii. Generally, sites include wide-angle and stereo-pair photographs (stereo-pair photographs are provided only for the spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) nesting habitat series in this volume) supplemented with information on living and dead fuels and vegetation, and, where appropriate, stand structure and composition within the area visible in the photographs (fig. 1). This volume (volume XI) continues the natural fuels photo series and includes three series documenting sagebrush sites that are ecotonal with grasses, western juniper, and ponderosa pine in eastern Oregon that in some cases may represent habitat or potential habitat for the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and one series with sites indicative of northern spotted owl nesting habitat in forests in Washington and Oregon. The sites in this volume broaden the range of conditions presented in Volume I (Ottmar et al. 1998), Volume IV (Ottmar et al. 2000), and Volume X (Ottmar et al. 2007) and provide a basis for appraising and describing woody material, vegetation, and stand conditions in many sagebrush-steppe and forested ecosystems in Washington and Oregon. Line intercept, vegetation SONH series tree and Edge of height, and canopy closure seedling plots (gray) sample area Figure 1—Photo series sample area layout. The sample measurement locations area extended 180 and 150 ft from the camera for the three sagebrush series and spotted owl nesting habitat series, respectively. Thirty random azimuth line transects (one to two per node) and 12 to 13 clipped vegetation plots (one to three per arc) were located within the sample area. Trees and seedlings were inventoried in the entire sample area when present for the three sagebrush series, or with 4 point- 30 ft centered quarter points and 12 systematically located 60 ft sample plots for spotted owl nesting habitat series. Shrubs Camera point 32° sample area angle were measured prior to harvesting in the clipped vegetation 90 ft plots (sagebrush series only). SONH series clipped 120 ft vegetation plots (blue) EOSG, EOSJ, and EOSP series 150 ft SONH series point-centered clipped vegetation and shrub quarter point (1 of 4) measurement plots (green) 180 ft WHY IS THE PHOTO SERIES NEEDED? The photo series are land management tools that can be used to assess landscapes through appraisal of living and dead woody material and vegetation (i.e., fuels) and stand characteristics. Once an assessment has been completed, stand treatment options, such as prescribed fire or harvesting, can be planned and implemented to better achieve desired effects while minimizing negative impacts on other resources. The photo series has application in several branches of natural resource science and management. Inventory data such as these can be used as inputs for evaluating animal habitat (a specific objective of this volume), nutrient cycling, and microclimate, for example. Fire managers will find these data useful for predicting fuel consumption, smoke production, fire behavior, and fire effects during wildfires and prescribed fires. In addition, the photo series can be used to appraise carbon sequestration, an important factor in predictions of future climate, and to link remotely sensed signatures to live and dead fuels on the ground.

    Forest / Forêt Association CNVC00017 Picea sitchensis - Tsuga heterophylla / Rubus spectabilis / Maianthemum dilatatum Sitka Spruce - Western Hemlock / Salmonberry / Two-leaved False Soloman's Seal Épinette de Sitka - Pruche de l'Ouest / Ronce remarquable / Maïanthème dilaté Subassociations: none CNVC Alliance: not yet determined CNVC Group: not yet determined Type Description Concept: CNVC00017 is a Canadian endemic association that occurs on rich, moist, high fluvial benches on the floodplains of rivers on the west coast of Vancouver Island and the outer mainland mid-coast of British Columbia. These sites occur at low elevations (up to 200 mASL). Sites supporting this association have a fluctuating annual water table but flood only every few years or so. Sitka spruce ( Picea sitchensis ) dominates the canopy, which includes a moderate amount of western hemlock ( Tsuga heterophylla ). Salmonberry ( Rubus spectabilis ), stink currant ( Ribes bracteosum ), and western hemlock regeneration are the main species of the shrub layer. The well-developed herb layer is mostly ferns: western sword fern ( Polystichum munitum ), common lady fern ( Athyrium filix-femina ), and deer fern ( Blechnum spicant ); but also includes three-leaved foamflower (Tiarella trifoliata ) and two-leaved false Soloman's seal ( Maianthemum dilatatum ). The moss layer is predominantly Oregon and slender beaked mosses ( Eurhynchium oreganum and E. praelongum ). Vegetation: A high cover of Picea sitchensis and moderate cover of Tsuga heterophylla dominate the overstory of CNVC00017, which sometimes has high to moderate cover of Abies amabilis in the forest canopy. The moderately developed shrub layer is dominated by high cover of Rubus spectabilis and regenerating Tsuga heterophylla , with moderate cover of Ribes bracteosum and Vaccinium parvifolium .

Floral Anatomy ef Cauloplrytlum MICHX., Leontice L., Gymnospermium SpACH and Bongardia MEY. Susumu TERABAYASHI (Received iNovember 13, l981) Abstract The floral anatomy of CauloPh71tum, Leontice, G"mnospermittm and Bongardia are discussed with special reference given to vasculature. Comparisons offloral anatomy are made with the other genera og the tribe Epimedieae. The vasculature in the receptacle of Caulopnjilum, Leontice and G]mnospermiitm is similar, but that of Bongardia differs in the very thick xylem of the receptacular stele and in the independent origin ef the traces to the sepals, petals and stamens from the stele. A tendency is recognized in that the outer floral elements receive traces ofa sing]e nature in origin from the stele while the inner elements receive traces ofa double nature. The traces to the inner e}ements are often clerived from common bundles in Caulop/tyllttm, Leontice and G"mnospermittm. A similar tendency is observed in the trace pattern in the other genera of Epimedieae, but the adnation of the traces is not as distinct as in the genera treated in this study.

  • Hooker's Fairy Bells
    Hooker’s Fairy Bells (Prosartes hookeri var. oregana) Lily Family Why Choose It? This delicate and charming member of the Lily family will happily spread in shaded garden areas, under trees and large shrubs. It is a wonderful substitute for many of the non-native ground covers that are typically found in shade. In the Garden Photo: Ben Legler Fairy Bells make a wonderful and attractive ground cover. Once it spreads, which it does moderately (no need to worry about it taking over), it provides a carpet of attractive foliage and its dense, rhizomatous, root system discourages other plants from coming up between. It can be combined with other shade lovers such as wood sorrel (Oxalis oregana), false Solomon’s seal (Maianthemum racemosa), or sword fern (Polystichum munitum). The Facts Like most members of the Lily family, Fairy Bells begin the season by producing a single sprout, which eventually unfurls to form a 1’ to 3’ tall branching plant. Their pointed leaf tips are twisted to form little “spouts” which allow the abundant rainfall that occurs where these plants grow to run off. In spring, pendent, bell-shaped, white flowers appear in two’s and three’s at the tips of each stem, and are followed by yellow-orange berries which finally turn bright red. Besides being shade loving, Fairy Bells also want a moist, forest-like soil, so that means lots of organic matter. They can get through the summer with some supplemental watering during dry spells. Where to See It Hooker’s Fairy Bells grow at low to mid elevations in shaded woodlands both east and west of the Cascades.

    Natural Resources Conservation Service Ecological site AX001X02X003 Mesic Aquic Forest Last updated: 1/06/2021 Accessed: 10/02/2021 General information MLRA notes Major Land Resource Area (MLRA): 001X–Northern Pacific Coast Range, Foothills, and Valleys This long and narrow resource area stretches along the Pacific Border Province of the Pacific Mountain System in Oregon and Washington. The area is bounded by the Olympic Mountains on the north and the Klamath Mountains on the south. Most of the area consists of hills and low mountains with gentle to steep slopes. The parent materials are composed primarily of young Tertiary sedimentary rocks with some minor volcanic rocks. Glacial till and outwash deposits are found in the northern half of the area within Washington. In the far southern portion of the area, near the Klamath Mountains, the sedimentary rocks are older and some have been metamorphosed. The average annual precipitation ranges from 60 to 200 inches, increasing with elevation. The dominant soil orders in this MLRA are Andisols, Inceptisols, and Ultisols. Soil depth ranges from shallow to very deep. While most soils in the area are well drained and occur on foothills, mountain slopes and ridges, floodplain and depressional soils can range from well drained to very poorly drained. Soil textures are typically medial, loamy, or clayey. The dominant soils in the area have a mesic or frigid soil temperature regime and a udic soil moisture regime; however, soils with an aquic soil moisture regime or cryic soil temperature regime do occur. LRU notes The North Pacific Coast Range land resource unit (LRU 2) of MLRA 1 is located in the northwestern corner on the Olympic Peninsula and within the Olympic National Forest in Washington State.

  • Chapter 5: Vegetation of Sphagnum-Dominated Peatlands
    CHAPTER 5: VEGETATION OF SPHAGNUM-DOMINATED PEATLANDS As discussed in the previous chapters, peatland ecosystems have unique chemical, physical, and biological properties that have given rise to equally unique plant communities. As indicated in Chapter 1, extensive literature exists on the classification, description, and ecology of peatland ecosystems in Europe, the northeastern United States, Canada, and the Rocky Mountains. In addition to the references cited in Chapter 1, there is some other relatively recent literature on peatlands (Verhoeven 1992; Heinselman 1963, 1970; Chadde et al., 1998). Except for efforts on the classification and ecology of peatlands in British Columbia by the National Wetlands Working Group (1988), the Burns Bog Ecosystem Review (Hebda et al. 2000), and the preliminary classification of native, low elevation, freshwater vegetation in western Washington (Kunze 1994), scant information exists on peatlands within the more temperate lowland or maritime climates of the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia). 5.1 Introduction There are a number of classification schemes and many different peatland types, but most use vegetation in addition to hydrology, chemistry and topological characteristics to differentiate among peatlands. The subject of this report are acidic peatlands that support acidophilic (acid-loving) and xerophytic vegetation, such as Sphagnum mosses and ericaceous shrubs. Ecosystems in Washington state appear to represent a mosaic of vegetation communities at various stages of succession and are herein referred to collectively as Sphagnum-dominated peatlands. Although there has been some recognition of the unique ecological and societal values of peatlands in Washington, a statewide classification scheme has not been formally adopted or widely recognized in the scientific community.
