Download or read book Michigan Ferns and Lycophytes written by Daniel D. Palmer and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2018-05-25 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michigan’s ferns and lycophytes are among the state’s most fascinating plants. The species in these groups exhibit incredibly diverse life cycles and an amazing array of morphology. Some species such as the Bracken fern are widespread and aggressive, dominating forest understories throughout much of northern Michigan, while other species are exceedingly rare and adapted to life solely in harsh niche habitats where little else can grow. Unlike the well-studied flowering plants and gymnosperms, Michigan’s ferns and lycophytes have long lacked a reliable, up-to-date guidebook, and this book fills that gap. Covering all 120 taxa found in the state, it features detailed keys, species descriptions, and range maps alongside precise illustrations. Readers learn about the etymology of species’ common and scientific names as well as interesting facts about their historic uses by humans and place within the Michigan ecosystem. The book also provides information on the challenging taxonomy of many ferns and lycophytes, with special attention given to the species likely to hybridize and those prone to misidentification. This is a must-have reference for anyone who wishes to learn about these important components of the Great Lakes flora.

Book excerpt: The definitive field guide for understanding and identifying ferns and lycophytes in Minnesota Rapid advances in DNA studies have given scientists new understandings of ferns and lycophytes, making books published only a decade ago now obsolete. Ferns and Lycophytes of Minnesota is the first comprehensive presentation of these oldest of land plants in Minnesota. Welby R. Smith, Minnesota state botanist, thoroughly developed this essential guide for anyone interested in learning about and identifying these ubiquitous plants that have fascinated people for centuries. Found in forests, prairies, marshes, and lakes throughout the state, ferns and lycophytes are marvelously adaptive, allowing them to inhabit and thrive in unique ecological niches, including native plant gardens. Created for natural resource professionals as well as avid gardeners, hikers, and naturalists at all levels, this easy-to-use reference enables the quick and reliable identification of each of the one hundred species of ferns and lycophytes that grow wild in Minnesota. Illustrated with more than four hundred original photographs, primarily by Richard W. Haug, this complete and up-to-date field guide includes information about how to distinguish closely related species as well as details about the ecology, distribution, and phenology of each species.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ferns and Flowering Plants of Isle Royale, Michigan After the formation of the lava beds, this area passed through a period during which there was an elevation Of the rock strata, erosion, depression, depositions Of new material, then elevation, tilting, and faulting, all Of of which resulted in the formation Of long narrow ridges with intervening valleys, which lie parallel to the long axis of the island. The rock strata were tilted toward the south shore of Lake Superior, and the degree Of tilting varies from 9° to 43° in various places. Then softer strata dis integrated, leaving the truncated ridges with gentle slopes on the southern side and with abrupt, steep slopes on the northern side. The ridges are mainly flat-topped, and the mam one, commonly called the Greenstone Ridge, is a divide which extends in the center and for the entire length of the island. This is broken into low gaps in three or four places. On this ridge there are three places which have an elevation above 500 feet according to contours drawn by Lane in 1908. Unpublished studies of George M. Stanley show that the highest portion Of the Greenstone Ridge is on the southwestern part Of the island and has an elevation close to 800 feet above lake level. Near the north shore Of the island is another ridge, the Minong Trap Ridge, which extends nearly the length Of the island and is above the 300-foot contour line. South of the Greenstone Ridge is a ridge which is much broker} but contains many points reaching above the 300-foot level. In addition to these main ridges there are many smaller intervening ones. Drainage is mostly parallel with the ridges. Some of the small streams in the intervening valleys empty into Lake Superior at the northeastern end, and others flow to the southwestern end. A few streams flow crosswise of the island in low gaps. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
