Berman and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residential development and growth along private lands bordering the southern portion of Cape Hatteras may be increasing at a rate inconsistent with the current water supply and demand. In the late 1960's and again in the late 1970's a series of wells were drilled to supply area residences and businesses with potable water from the local shallow water aquifer. Today, additional wells are being considered to serve the expanding community of Buxton Woods. At the same time, the National Park Service maintains a series of ditches for both mosquito and flood control management. A large ditch which trends approximately northeast/southwest through the Buxton Woods Campground and discharges approximately 1.5 miles west of Cape Hatteras into the Atlantic Ocean has been the subject of some controversy. This system was installed in the 1930's prior to conversion of these lands to park ownership. The history surrounding the purpose and development of the system is not well documented. The ditch serves to drain the low lying area of the park campground which is subject to flooding during northeasters, hurricanes, and periods of torrential rains. It has become a quasi-effective method of flood control for the campground which provides an important recreational resource for the park and attracts a number of visitors each year. Both the construction of ditches and the withdrawal of water from shallow aquifers has the potential to disturb or alter the natural vegetation communities. The National Park Service has a vested interest in the protection and preservation of these vegetative resources. Therefore, an understanding of how the natural vegetation assemblages have responded to these stressors overtime better prepares the Service to implement responsible management actions.

Book excerpt: Buxton Woods Coastal Reserve ("Buxton Woods") is a Significant Natural Heritage Area (R1 C1) located on Hatteras Island, Dare County, North Carolina. The site is one of ten reserves within the North Carolina Coastal Reserve system. Comprising ca. 403 ha, the site spans about a third of the largest remaining continguous tract of Maritime Evergreen Forest (Mid-Atlantic Subtype) on the Atlantic coast and contains the only occurrence of the Maritime Shrub Swamp (Dogwood Subtype) natural community in the world. Buxton Woods is home to six plant communities and numerous rare plant species. The Guide to the Vascular Flora of Buxton Woods is based on the first author's collections, historical collections, and reports of species from the site. The illustrated guide treats 476 species in 98 families, providing keys to all vouchered or reported species and genera. Habitat, nativity status, flowering and fruiting phenology, and abundance are also incorporated, as well as relevant voucher information. The guide contains 30 color plates and nearly 400 line drawings. This is the fourth volume in a series from the Illustrated Floras of North Carolina Project (North Carolina State University Vascular Plant Herbarium and Botanical Research Institute of Texas Press), designed to be useful to both botanical specialists and a more general audience.
