The Use Of Microscopic Vegetative Characteristics And Leaf Characteristics And Leaf Deterioration Rates In The Formulation Of Keys Of Some Wetland Plants, Bruce Foy Williams

Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations

Leaves of Spartina alterniflora, Spartina patens, Spartina cynosuroides, Distichlis spicata, Phragmites communis, Juncus roemerianus, Scirpus robustus, Typha latifolia, Iva frutescens, and Baccharis halimifolia were examined microscopically. Characteristics of each species were then used to develop identification keys. In addition, leaf fragments were buried in the marsh substrate to simulate a dredging and/or filling operation. At weekly intervals during each season of the year, a leaf fragment of each species was processed and examined to see if it could be identified.

Decay Rates And Nutrient Dynamics In Confines And Nonconfined Leaf Litter In The Great Dismal Swamp, R. Frederick K. Yates

Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations

This study was designed to quantitatively compare decay rates and nutrient dynamics by the confined and unconfined litter techniques in a seasonally flooded swamp. In this study both methods indicated the same order of decay rates among sites (cedar>maple-gum>cypress> mixed hardwood), but the unconfined method showed faster decay rates at all sites. As in two years of previous data collection, the stands exhibiting some seasonal flooding showed greater decay rates than the mixed hardwood stand which was not inundated. Nutrient dynamics were not different between litter bag and leaf pack methods.

This study included a preliminary investigation of …

Flowering Plants: Magnolias To Pitcher Plants, Robert H. Mohlenbrock

Illustrated Flora of Illinois

This volume, the eighth devoted to flowering plants in the Illus­trated Flora of Illinois series, is the third of several devoted to dicotyledons, which include such well-known plants as roses, peas, mustards, mints, nightshades, milkweeds, and asters.

Mohlenbrock here represents four orders and fifteen families of plants. The orders are the Annonales, Berberidales, Nymph­aeales, and Sarraceniales. The fifteen families that comprise them are generally conceded by most botanists to be among the most primitive living plants in the world today. These orders can be characterized generally as woody in the Annonales (except for the Saururaceae and some Aristolochiaceae), herbaceous in …

Function Of Mentzelia Nuda (Loasaceae) Postfloral Nectaries In Seed Defense, Kathleen H. Keeler

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Mentzelia nuda is a coarse, short-lived perennial of the High Plains of North America. The flowers secrete nectar which serves as an attractant for pollinating bees. Postfloral nectar secretion attracts ants whose presence significantly enhances seed set. This is the first demonstration of advantage to postflowering activity of a floral nectary.

The Bell Natural History Museum, An Aid To Teaching Botany, Harold W. Hansen

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Much of the regular academic year does not lend itself to observation of plants in their natural habitat outdoors. The museum exhibits can serve as study aids in the off season, although they should not be utilized as substitutes for field work. This study systematized some materials available for class use. Museum files, display legends, and original observations were used. From the Bell Museum of Natural History, 112 exhibits were listed and coded for location; 384 specimens, of 247 species were listed from individual displays; a massed alphabetized species index was prepared. The exhibit "Maple-Basswood Forest" was studied in detail; …

Composition Of Goldenrod (Solidago: Compositae) Populations By Species In The Upper Midwest, William E. Miller

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

In each of 100 abandoned agricultural fields grown over with goldenrod, stems were diagnosed and counted in 20 occupied 0.4 M plots selected by hoop tossing. Preliminary results differed little between hoop tossing and random plot selection, and between 0.9 and 0.4 m plot sizes. In rank order of stem abundance the taxa were Solidago altissima L. S. canadensis L. complex S. gigantea Ait. S. graminifolia (L.) Saliab. S. nemoralis Ait. S. ulmifolia muhl. others. An average of 2.2 taxa were recorded per field, and three or more taxa in at least one plot in 34 percent of fields. Where …
