  • Rare Plant Monitoring 2017
    RARE PLANT MONITORING 2017 Ajuga pyramidalis Ophrys insectifera © Zoe Devlin What is it? In 2017, we decided to carry out a small pilot scheme on rare plant monitoring. Where experienced plant recorders had submitted recent casual records of rare plants to the Centre, they were asked if they would be willing to visit their rare plant population once a year during its flowering period and to count the total number of individuals present. The response to the scheme from the small number of recorders contacted has been overwhelming positive and it has resulted in very valuable data being collected in 2017. Data on the rare plant location, the count and additional information about the site is submitted online through a dedicated web portal set up by the Data Centre. The project was discussed and agreed with the NPWS. It is framed around the 2016 Vascular Plant Red List and is mainly focused on monitoring vulnerable, near threatened and rare least concern species. Why is it important? When assessing the national FAST FACTS 2017 conservation status of very rare species according to IUCN Red List methodology, it is recommended that 37 you use annual population count data. That’s the total number of rare plant Given the numbers of rare plant populations that were monitored in the species a country might have, this 2017 pilot information can be difficult to collect in any volume. This citizen science project relies on the generosity of 22 expert volunteers to ‘keep an eye’ on That’s the number of rare plant species rare populations near them and to that were monitored in 2017 submit standardised count data once a year.

  • 2017 City of York Biodiversity Action Plan
    CITY OF YORK Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2017 City of York Local Biodiversity Action Plan - Executive Summary What is biodiversity and why is it important? Biodiversity is the variety of all species of plant and animal life on earth, and the places in which they live. Biodiversity has its own intrinsic value but is also provides us with a wide range of essential goods and services such as such as food, fresh water and clean air, natural flood and climate regulation and pollination of crops, but also less obvious services such as benefits to our health and wellbeing and providing a sense of place. We are experiencing global declines in biodiversity, and the goods and services which it provides are consistently undervalued. Efforts to protect and enhance biodiversity need to be significantly increased. The Biodiversity of the City of York The City of York area is a special place not only for its history, buildings and archaeology but also for its wildlife. York Minister is an 800 year old jewel in the historical crown of the city, but we also have our natural gems as well. York supports species and habitats which are of national, regional and local conservation importance including the endangered Tansy Beetle which until 2014 was known only to occur along stretches of the River Ouse around York and Selby; ancient flood meadows of which c.9-10% of the national resource occurs in York; populations of Otters and Water Voles on the River Ouse, River Foss and their tributaries; the country’s most northerly example of extensive lowland heath at Strensall Common; and internationally important populations of wetland birds in the Lower Derwent Valley.

    © Münchner Ent. Ges., Download from The BHL http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/; www.biologiezentrum.at91 Zur Phänologie von Bockkäfern eines inneralpinen, xerothermen Standortes (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Von Wolfgang Schedli) (Institut für Zoologie der Universität Innsbruck, Vorstand: Univ. -Prof. Dr. H. Janetschek) Als Untersuchungsgebiet wählte Verfasser einen Standort west- lich von Innsbruck im Gemeindegebiet von Zirl (Tirol, Österreich) am Fuße der bekannten Martinswand am westlichen Hechen- bergsüdabfall zwischen Martinsbühel und Pilgerschrofen. Dort er- streckt sich ein S-exponierter Hang vom Flußbett des Inns von ca. 580 m bis unterhalb der Gallerie der Eisenbahnlinie Innsbruck-See- feld in ca. 820 m (Abb. 1-)). Geologisch liegt das Untersuchungsgebiet ganz im Bereich des triadischen Wettersteinkalkes und schmaler Ein- schaltungen von weichen Partnachschichten. Nur stellenweise hat sich auf Hangschutt eine dünne Bodendecke bilden können. Meteorologi- sche Daten können nur aus einigen umliegenden Stationen wie Hoch- zirl, Völs oder Innsbruck-Flughafen entnommen werden (siehe F 1 i r i, 1975). Schon Handel-Mazetti (1939) rechnet das Ge- biet des Hechenberges zur Oberinntaler Trockenzone. Die durch- schnittliche Jahresniederschlagsmenge (1931-60) dürfte im Untersu- chungsgebiet bei 700 mm liegen mit Schwerpunkt des Niederschlages im Sommer, die durchschnittliche Jahrestemperatur des Untersu- chungsgebietes ist schwieriger anzugeben, die durchschnittliche Son- denscheindauer in "/o der lokal horizontbedingt möglichen dürfte im Jahr etwas über 50 ^/o betragen. Die Vegetation besteht im Bereich des Innufers aus einem wenige Meter breiten Alnus incana-Augürtel mit eingestreuten Populus nig- ra, P. tremula und Salix sp. Bäumen, ansteigend kleine anthropogen beeinflußte Steilwiesen mit Carduus und Cirsium-Arten bis zur Bun- desstraße und im steilen Hang mit kleinen Felswänden und schottri- gen Bachbetten Trockenwiesen mit Stipa sp., Glohularia cordijolia, Dorycnium germanicum etc.

Large grazing herbivores drive the ecology of the site and can have a profound impact on invertebrates, both positive and negative. This survey was commissioned in order to assess the site’s invertebrate assemblage in a standardised and repeatable way both internally between fields and sections and temporally between years.
