The objective of this study is to conduct a floristic survey and a vegetation analysis of the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area (BCNRA) located in the northern part of the Bighorn Basin of northern Wyoming and southern Montana. The study will include the preparation of a vegetation map which, along with other ecological information, should be useful for resource management.

This study began in 1983 and, as originally proposed, has three phases: 1) Floristic survey and herbarium development (1983-84); 2) Vegetation analysis and classification (1984-85); and 3) Conclusion of vegetation analysis and preparation of a vegetation map (1985-86). This work is on schedule. Justification for the study was to provide the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area (BCNRA) with basic vegetation information that could be helpful in resource management. Very little ecological research has been conducted in the BCNRA.

Background: Uses and traditional knowledge (TK) are essential for the protection and management of natural resources. There are extensive records of traditional uses involving mainly vascular plants, while for mosses are scarce. This study documents the TK and uses of Dendropogonella rufescens in San Juan Luvina, Oaxaca, Mexico. Questions: For what purpose and how D. rufescens is used in San Juan Luvina? Can TK provide ecological information for this species? How is TK maintained among the members of the community? Studied species: Dendropogonella rufescens (Schimp.) Britt. (Bryophyta). Study site and dates: San Juan Luvina, Oaxaca, Mexico. March 2020. Methods: We conducted interviews with inhabitants from three age categories (15-41, 42-68, and 69-95 years). Interviews included questions about the length of time the community has used the plant, harvesting practices, traditional use per se, and plant recycling after traditional use. Results: Results include historical information about the use of the plant and TK grouped in seven categories (ceremonial, construction, craft, environmental, fuel, medicinal, and ornamental). These results include new reports of TK of bryophytes in Mexico. Conclusions: For the uses and TK reported, D. rufescens is essential for the cultural identity of the community of San Juan Luvina. D. rufescens TK could use to develop conservation strategies for bryophytes. As our findings suggest, TK and uses of bryophytes should be recorded because they are likely to disappear.

Floristic surveys are the basis of phytodiversity knowledge and when carried out in protected areas add value because they can generate incentives for conservation and subsidies for management plans. With the objective to contribute to flora knowledge in Piaui State, Brazil, a floristic study was developed in the riparian forest Uruçuí-Una Ecological Station. This station has a 135.122,29 ha area and is in Baixa Grande do Ribeiro municipality, Piauí, in Northeast of Brazil. The area is in Cerrado’s phytogeographical domain, with riparian forest along the river Uruçuí-Preto, which borders part of its area. The survey was conducted from samples collected of woody vascular plants in an area of approximately 4.5 ha on the left bank of Uruçuí-Preto River. The samples collected were properly herborized, taxonomically identified, and stored in herbaria Graziela Barroso (TEPB) and Delta do Parnaíba (HDELTA). The study resulted in 90 species, 71 genus, and 37 families. Except for Tilesia baccata species, Asteraceae naturalized, all species are native to Brazil, and 21.50% are also endemic in Brazil and 6.45% endemic in Cerrado. Most species, i.e 78.49% were not evaluated for the extinction risk, while 15.05% are classified in the Little Worrying category and only, Bowdichia virgilioides is in the condition of Near Threatened. This study contributes significantly to the scientific literature as it is the second floristic survey presented for this conservation unit since 1984, and the first study carried out in the riparian forest in this protected area of the Brazilian Cerrado.

Broad Scale

A broad-scale floristic inventory of all vascular plants was proposed for Grand Teton National Park and the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway (JDR) primarily to document the extant flora in remote backcountry areas. The Teton Mountains are floristically important because of the unique habitats which they contain, because their relatively undisturbed (human disturbance) condition, and because of their proximity to the Yellowstone Plateau, a floristically unique area of Wyoming. Many studies have explored these lands for purposes of vegetation characterization (Cogan et al. 2005, McCloskey 2006) though an explicit and complete plant inventory parkwide had never been undertaken.

Glen Canyon

This work being conducted on the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (NRA) has two primary goals, each of which contains two specific objectives. The first major goal is to characterize the vegetation communities of the NRA. Specific objectives are to (1) develop a cover-type vegetation classification, and (2) prepare a map of these vegetation units, for the NRA. The second major goal is to seek relict examples of the range of vegetation types defined under the first goal. Specific objectives are to (1) develop a list of known and potential relict areas in the NRA, and (2) inspect and obtain quantitative descriptions of as many of these areas as possible. Identification of relict areas in the Glen Canyon NRA will provide places for basic scientific research in unaltered ecosystems. Further, such areas have value for the applied sciences of resource management, by defining the productive potentials of ecosystems. Relict areas are also reference points for guiding the reclamation of disturbed areas. The latter two points are especially important in the NRA, given that grazing and some minerals activity still occur there.

A study of the flora and vegetation of the Barranca de Acazónica, located in the central part of the state of Veracruz, was under taken. The vegetation recognized for the region includes tropical deciduos forest, tropical semideciduos forest, riparian vegetation and secondary vegetation. A description of each vegetation type is given, with a brief discussion of environmental characteristics of the zone. A vegetation map of the region (scale 1:70000) is presented, with a schematic vegetation profile. About 840 species are reported in a floristic checklist, representing 126 families of vascular plants.
