Book Evaluation of Native Plant Seeds and Seeding in the East side Central Cascades Ponderosa Pine Zone

Download or read book Evaluation of Native Plant Seeds and Seeding in the East side Central Cascades Ponderosa Pine Zone written by Nan C. Vance and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In dry, open coniferous forests of the montane West, stand-replacing wildfires and land use activities alter the composition and abundance of native grasses and forbs by degrading the habitat and accelerating the invasion of exotic annuals. On these lands, native forbs and grasses delayed or prevented from recovery by natural processes may require intervention through supplementary seeding. However, effective seeding of native plants requires that their seed traits and the potential outcome of the seeding be better understood. This study evaluated seeds and seedlings of 13 native forbs and 5 grasses common in the dry Pinus ponderosa/Purshia tridentata/ Festuca idahoensis plant communities east of the Oregon Cascades crest and their potential for establishment in a landscape altered by past grazing and a recent, stand-replacing wildfire. Their potential for germination and establishment was examined in the laboratory and in 20 test plots located within the burned boundary of a 2002 wildfire. Seed collection, handling, testing, and sowing procedures are described. Data on seedling emergence, height, second-year survival and cover are presented in tables and figures. Onsite emergence and early growth data helped to reveal cause of early mortality related to biological and site conditions, including invasive competition, and differences in early growth and site occupancy. The study supports the efficacy of using multiple and functionally diverse species in a seeding program. Additional information on each of the 18 species is included in an appendix.

Book Non forested Plant Communities of the Northern Oregon Cascades

Download or read book Non forested Plant Communities of the Northern Oregon Cascades written by Cynthia N. McCain and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide describes the principal non-forested plant communities of the Cascade Range in northwestern Oregon. It reflects the compilation and analysis of plant community and associated environmental data from seven distinct projects conducted by USFS and University researchers over a period of 33 years (1966 to 1999; see Methods). Descriptions emphasize the species composition (including the primary or characteristic species) and environmental contexts in which these communities occur. The guide is not intended as an exhaustive list of non-forested types, but includes the most common-those likely to be of interest to resource managers, botanists, wildlife biologists, and recreationists. These non-forested ecosystems support much of the local and regional diversity of plants and animals found on federal lands in this region. Our goal is to provide simple descriptions of community types that occur repeatedly across the landscape and of the physical environments (elevations, landforms, and topographic settings) with which they are associated. The non-forested types in this guide represent relatively stable communities dominated by graminoids (grasses, sedges and rushes), forbs, or shrubs. They occupy diverse environmental settings, from wetland basins to dry ridge tops, at lower (montane) to higher (subalpine and alpine) elevations in the Western and High Cascades. The persistence of these communities in an otherwise forested landscape is often indicative of environmental or edaphic conditions that limit tree establishment, although some may originate, or be maintained, by disturbance (e.g., fire, grazing, or snow movement). This work on non-forested types complements earlier descriptions of forested communities (Hemstrom et al. 1982, 1987; Halverson et al. 1986; Diaz et al. 1997; McCain and Diaz 2002) and wetlands (Christy 2004) in northwestern Oregon.

Book The Dreamer and the Doctor

Download or read book The Dreamer and the Doctor written by Jack Nisbet and published by Sasquatch Books. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the turn-of-the-twentieth-century Northwest, the lives and passions of an American physician and her Swedish naturalist husband helped shape a territory on the cusp of change--from the author of Sources of the River and The Collector. Dr. Carrie Leiberg, a pioneer physician, fought hard for public health while nurturing both a troubled son and a fruit orchard. Her husband, John Leiberg, was a Swedish immigrant and self-taught naturalist who transformed himself from pickax Idaho prospector to special field agent for the US Forest Commission and warned Washington DC of ecological devastation of public lands. The Leiberg story opens a window into the human and natural landscape of a century past that reflects all the thorny issues of our present time.
