Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flora of the Kansas Flint Hills, Vol. 48 The University of Kansas Science Bulletin (continuation of the Kansas University Quarterly) is an outlet for scholarly scientific investigations carried out at the University of Kansas or by University faculty and students. Since its inception, volumes of the Bulletin have been variously issued as single bound volumes, as two or three multi-paper parts or as series of individual papers. In each case, issuance is at irregular intervals, with each volume approximately 1000 pages in length. The supply of all volumes of the Kansas University Quarterly is now exhausted. However, most volumes of the University of Kansas Science Bulletin are still available and are offered, in exchange for similar publications, to learned societies, colleges and universities and other institutions, or may be purchased at $15.00 per volume. Where some of these volumes were issued in parts, individual parts are priced at the rate of 1 1/2 cents per page. Current policy, initiated with volume 46, is to issue individual papers as published. Such separata may likewise be purchased individually at the rate of 1% cents per page. Subscriptions for forthcoming volumes may be entered at the rate of $15.00 per volume. All communications regarding exchanges, sales and subscriptions should be addressed to the Exchange Librarian, University of Kansas Libraries, Lawrence, Kansas 66044. Reprints of individual papers for personal use by investigators are available gratis for most recent and many older issues of the Bulletin. Such requests should be directed to the author.

Download or read book Vascular Flora of the Flint Hills Tallgrass Prairie Preserve written by Barnabas P. Hawkinson and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flint Hills Tallgrass Prairie Preserve (FHTPP) comprises 3 parcels of land owned and protected by The Nature Conservancy of Kansas. It sits approximately 8 km (5 miles) east of Cassoday, Kansas in Butler and Greenwood counties. The preserve totals 885 hectares (2,188 acres), and this study was performed on a portion of the preserve that is 130 hectares (321 acres) in size. The FHTPP has not been grazed since its acquisition, providing a unique opportunity for comparison to similar preserves. Though the flora of Butler County is relatively well documented, no floristic checklist has been published for the county or a site within. The goals of this study were to document all vascular plant species present on the site, compare the floristic composition of the FHTPP to that of two comparable properties, and assess potential vegetation differences between previously tilled and untilled portions of the FHTPP. Over three seasons 542 collections were made from which 274 taxa (176 genera and 59 families) were identified. Native taxa comprised 89% of observed taxa. Of the 29 non-native taxa, one taxon (Lespedeza cuneata) is classified as a category C noxious weed in Kansas. Seven species are county records. Comparisons with unpublished checklists from the nearby Youngmeyer Ranch and Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve establish that the FHTPP contains comparable levels of overall species conservatism, although riparian and woodland areas at the FHTPP host fewer conservative taxa. This suggests that the lack of recent grazing history at the FHTPP has not notably increased or decreased basic levels of floristic quality relative to similar sites with grazing. Although measures of taxonomic richness and floristic quality did not differ between tilled and untilled plots, the relative abundance of native taxa was significantly higher on plots that were untilled. Seven native taxa were significantly correlated with untilled plots, while two exotic taxa and three native taxa were significantly associated with previously tilled plots. This suggests that a comparable plant community has re-established following tillage at the FHTPP, although these areas might be more vulnerable to invasion by non-native species.

Book excerpt: In the first essay in Garden Musings, this gardening writer states, "The evidence keeps racking up that I, the Hoosier-born offspring of several generations of farmers, chose through ignorance to garden in a delightful area combining the world's worst soil and an exasperating climate, all augmented by various man-made and natural catastrophes such as tornadoes, droughts, prairie fires, hail, drenching rains, ice-storms, late freezes, boiling summers, and seventy mile per hour winds. " Gardening, with all the pressures of struggle between the environment, wild animals, and the gardener, and particularly in the harsh Kansas weather, is not for the faint-hearted as demonstrated by the many essays in the book including Sweet (Corn) Pain, Weather-Weary, Midden Misery, and Soil Sorrows. While the essays are full of useful personal observations about gardening style, plant information, and garden practices, the author also turns his wry eye on tumbling a number of gardening tenets and institutions as he turns his attentions on composting, lawn maintenance, and landscape designers who work primarily in junipers, Japanese barberry and Stella de Oro daylilies. The timing and content of programming of the Home and Garden Television Network and the lack of availability of G-rated gardening statues are other topics that don't escape this garden curmudgeon. Gardeners searching for practical advice or simply for winter-reading pleasure will all find fulfillment within these pages.

Download or read book Calibrating Vegetation Cover and Pollen Assemblages in the Flint Hills of Kansas U S A written by Julie L. Commerford and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quantitative relationship between pollen assemblages in sediment and vegetation cover is largely unknown because many factors influence this relationship. This lack of quantitative relationship is particularly acute in grassland regions, where both past and future climate change have the potential to determine grassland composition and cover. The tool used to reconstruct past grassland cover is the relative abundance of distinct fossil pollen types preserved in sediment. However, the interpretation of grassland pollen assemblages as grassland vegetation types needs to be refined to improve these reconstructions. Using pollen found in the surface sediments from 24 artificially-constructed ponds in the Flint Hills ecoregion of Kansas, USA, I examined relationships between pollen and vegetation in the tallgrass prairie biome, which includes woody components. By comparing the pollen data to field-surveyed vegetation data and land cover classifications taken from Kansas Gap Analysis Program data, I correlated pollen and vegetation in this ecoregion. Pollen productivity estimates for Artemisia, Ambrosia, Asteraceae, Chenopodiaceae, Cornus, Fabaceae, Juniperus, Maclura, Poaceae, Populus, Quercus, and Salix were calculated via the Extended R-Value Model. Common pollen types identified in sediments are mostly herbaceous grassland plant species such as Poaceae, Artemisia, and Ambrosia, but woody plants such as Populus, Quercus, and Juniperus are also represented. PPEs have been calculated for four of these taxa in Europe, and values from the Flint Hills are higher. These are the first PPEs reported for eight of these taxa. This research will further advance quantitative vegetation reconstructions in the Great Plains of North America and refine interpretations of how climate change affects grasslands.
