An Evaluation Of Naturally Occurring Populations Of Magnolia Tripetala L. In Indiana, Kemuel S. Badger

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Magnolia tripetala L. occurs in Indiana as a disjunct from the Appalachian mountains populations. Currently, the known distribution of ~· tripetala in Indiana is confined to seven sites in Crawford County. The current status of ~· tripetala and the surrounding plant community was evaluated to aid in the future study, protection and management of this species, which is endangered in Indiana. Systematic random sampling of the tree stratum was done with belt transects. The sapling and seeding strata were sampled with subplots, placed along the belt transects. Permanent plots were established to enable future monitoring of what is currently prime …
