  • 2013, XLVIII: 27-37 Grădina Botanică “Alexandru Borza” Cluj-Napoca
    Contribuţii Botanice – 2013, XLVIII: 27-37 Grădina Botanică “Alexandru Borza” Cluj-Napoca THE PRESENCE OF VERONICA SPECIES IN DIFFERENT NATURA 2000 HABITAT TYPES IN ROMANIA Silvia OROIAN,1 Mihaela SĂMĂRGHIŢAN2 1 University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Târgu-Mureş, Faculty of Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Botany and Cell Biology Department, 38 Gh. Marinescu Street, RO-540139 Târgu-Mureş, Romania 2 Mureş County Museum, Natural Science Department, 24 Horea Street, RO-540036 Târgu-Mureş, Romania e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A principal objective of this study was to summarise the distribution of Veronica species in Romania, where such an inventory has not existed before. Taxa of Veronica genus were identified in 311 plant associations and 36 subassociations framed in 132 alliances. Of the 311 plant associations, 138 are included in various types of NATURA 2000 Habitats. The review of phytosociological data reveals the presence of Veronica taxa in 42 types of Natura 2000 habitats with scientific significance. Some of these Veronica taxa are characteristic species for alliances (i.e. Veronicion baumgartenii Coldea 1991, Veronico officinalis-Quercion Pop 1971) or differential species at plant association level (Veronico baumgartenii-Saxifragetum bryoidis Boşcaiu et al. 1977). Keywords: Veronica genus, Natura 2000 habitats, plant associations Introduction Veronica is considered among the richest genera of the vascular flora of Romania as well as of other European countries. As regards their systematic position, Veronica species were included until recently in the Scrophularioideae (Antirrhinoideae) subfamily, Scrophulariaceae family, Scrophulariales order, Asterideae subclass, Magnoliopsida class [7]. Because there are several classification systems for this genus, here we mention three of them, which we consider most recent.

  • Yellow Archangel Lamium – a Devil to Control!
    ALIEN PLANT INVADERS: Yellow Archangel Lamium – A Devil To Control! A series of articles on how to identify and manage some common invasive species on Salt Spring Island, by Jean Wilkinson, Stewardship Committee, Salt Spring Island Conservancy (former articles available on SSIC Web-site) The spread of invasive species is a very serious threat to our native flora and ecosystems, but we can help reduce the impacts of invasive plants by not planting them and by preventing and controlling infestations in our yards and neighbourhoods. In our region one of the most common and challenging invasive plants is Yellow Archangel, aka Dead-nettle. A type of Lamium native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, it is often used in hanging baskets or sold as a low maintenance, fast- growing perennial ground-cover, easily adaptable to sun or shade. This description should trigger alarm bells! Such plants can quickly take over garden beds and invade nearby natural areas, and they’re difficult to control and remove. Avoiding this problem by planting non-invasive alternatives (see below) is the best policy, but established patches of Lamium and other invasive species can be removed with a bit of effort. Yellow Archangel is particularly problematic as it often spreads into undisturbed wooded areas, forming thick mats and smothering the native plants that provide habitat for wildlife. Large areas can be severely impacted by the dumping of a single hanging basket. Other Lamium varieties (eg L. purpureum) also escape gardens, so if you’re set on growing any of these, please keep them in a contained area, away from the edges of woods or meadows, and be sure to deadhead the flowers.

  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report
    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.

  • Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees)
    Relative Ranking of Ornamental Flower Plants to Foraging Honey Bees (With Notes on Favorability to Bumble Bees) Whitney Cranshaw Colorado State University Observations were made during the 2007-2009 growing seasons on the relative attractiveness of various flowering ornamental plants to honey bees (Apis mellifera). This information was collected so that honey bee favorability - or lack of favorability - may be considered in plant selection. The study was conducted by repeated visits to public garden plantings in Larimer, Denver, Adams, and Cheyenne counties. Gardens were chosen that had large mass plantings of numerous flowering plants so that comparisons could be made and included the Denver Botanic Garden, gardens at Colorado State University (PERC, Flower Demonstration Planting), Welby Gardens, and Cheyenne Botanic Garden. These sites also were chosen because plantings had identification labeling. Plantings were visited between 2 and 12 times between mid-June and mid-September. Evaluations were made by examining plants that were in flower for the presence of honey bees. A planting was then given a relative ranking based on honey bee numbers. A 0-3 scale was used: 3 - Heavily visited by foraging honey bees 2 - Moderately visited by honey bees and foraged 1 - Honey bees seen occasionally visiting flowers 0 - Honey bees do not forage at these flowers Data were collected from a total of 319 different plant entries durig this study. Variation in rankings between dates did occur; where this occurred from multiple ratings the final ranking was rounded up to a whole number. Numerous other bees and other insects were commonly seen on many plants.
