EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Baseline wildlife and habitat surveys were initiated in 2007 to support a future impact assessment for the redevelopment of two existing, but currently inactive, open pit mines southwest of Kamloops. Detailed Project plans were not available at that time, so the general areas of activity were buffered to define a study area. The two general Project areas at the time were New Afton, an open pit just south of Highway 1, and Ajax, east of Jacko Lake.

  • Bryophytes of Arable Fields: Current State of Knowledge and Conservation
    Bryophytes of arable fields: current state of knowledge and conservation R. D. Porley, from Fields of vision: a future for Britain's arable plants (eds P. Wilson & M. King), pp. 8-19. Plantlife, London. Summary Bryophytes are a characteristic component of cultivated land in Britain, but knowledge of their status, distribution and ecology lags well behind that of arable vascular plants. There are at least 17 liverworts and hornworts and 73 mosses that have been recorded on arable, representing about 9% of the total British and Irish bryoflora. Many of the species also occur in other habitats. Bryophytes of arable land are well adapted to regular disturbance by virtue of ephemeral lifestyles and compressed life-histories. They produce a variety of sexual and asexual propagules and can form a persistent diaspore bank in the soil. The typical arable bryophyte community includes the liverworts Riccia glauca and R. sorocarpa, and the mosses Barbula convoluta, B. unguiculata, Bryum argenteum, B. bicolor, B. klingraeffii, B. rubens, B. subapiculatum, Dicranella schreberiana, D. staphylina, Ditrichum cylindricum, Entosthodon fasicularis, Ephemerum serratum var. minutissimum, Microbryum rectum, Tortula acaulon and T. truncata. An additional number of species are very rare, such as the Biodiversity Action Plan species Didymodon tomaculosus, Ephemerum stellatum and Weissia multicapsularis. These, and others such as Anthoceros and Sphaerocarpos, are more or less restricted to arable, and thus are particularly vulnerable to changes in agricultural management. There is ample anecdotal evidence that arable bryophytes are in decline in Britain and mainland Europe. It is suggested that changes in sowing and harvesting times and the use of agrochemicals are factors contributing to the decline, but the demise of stubble fields has probably had the greatest negative impact on the arable bryoflora.

Surveys using intuitive- controlled meander found Aloina bifrons on two parcels, B. columbianum on six parcels, and Texosporium sancti-jacobi on one parcel. Silusi Butte and the adjacent parcel have the best habitats and most species of bryophytes and lichens. The mosses, Didymodon eckeliae, Gemmabryum gemmilucens, G. vinosum, Tortula protobryoides are apparently new to Washington and a site of T. inermis represents the second record for the state. Noteworthy lichens include Acarospora obpallens, A. rosulata, Rhizocarpon melanconianum. Results continue to support that thin, fine-grain soil and rock support the best diversity of bryophytes and lichens while trampling of cattle and invasive cheatgrass, Bromus tectorum, significantly compromise most areas.

A key, descriptions, illustrations, distribution data, and light and scanning electron micrographs of the 11 species recognized are provided. A new species, Tortula arequipen- sis, is described from Peru. Twenty-six names are lectotypified. Thirty eight species are excluded from the genus Tortula. Six new combinations are proposed: Syntrichia breviseta, Syntrichia buchtienii, Syntrichia napoana, Syntrichia polylepidis, Syntrichia pseudolatifolia, and Tortula diaguita. Thirty-six names are newly synonymized. Previous records of Tortula vahliana from Chile correspond to Tortula platyphylla. Microbryum davallianum, Tortula cernua, Tortula hoppeana, and T. vahliana are newly reported for South America. In addition, new records for different countries of the study area are reported. © 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 156, 173–220.
