Inverse Pattern

Vascular plant species diversity in the ravines of the southern Finger Lakes followed the ravine-side gradient and vegetation characteristics described by Lewin (1974). Bottom and lower-slope mesophytic communities were very rich in species, middle-to-upper hemlock stands were very poor in species, while the upper oak stands were again somewhat richer. Dominance followed an inverse pattern, being lowest in the low, mesophytic stands and high in the hemlock stands. The amount of hemlock in the canopy appeared to have an effect on diversity.

Invasive Taxa

The objective of the present study was to compare the invasive vascular plant species at city, state, National Parks, and research preserves in New York, New Jersey, South Carolina and Florida, where the author has conducted research and published his findings in refereed journals. Sites with human activity have a high percent (<50%) of invasive species. Invasive taxa have increased at “protected” sites where human impact is minimal posing a further threat to native vegetation. The deliberate introduction of exotic taxa such as Callery Pear, Kudzu, Multiflora Rose, Norway Maple, Oriental Bittersweet, and more pose a threat to native taxa.

Antarctic Research

Buildings were constructed and artefacts left behind on sub-Antarctic Heard Island, associated with Antarctic research expeditions since 1926. Both bryophytes and vascular plants are colonising many parts of the now derelict buildings. On these structures and artefacts, the authors recorded four species of vascular plants out of the 11 that occur on Heard Island and nine species of mosses out of the 37 recorded from Heard Island. The vascular plant species most frequently recorded colonising structures and artefacts was Pringlea antiscorbutica (288 occurrences), with the area colonised varying from 0.3 cm2 to 430.0 cm2. Muelleriella crassifolia was the moss species that was most frequently recorded (14 occurrences), colonising areas from 2.1 cm2 to 12.9 cm2. The highest number of bryophyte species (seven) was recorded on the stone and cement of the ‘water tank.’ Pringlea antiscorbutica, Poa cookii, Azorella selago, Muelleriella crassifolia, Bryum dichotomum, Dicranoweisia brevipes and Schistidium apocarpum are all expected to continue to colonise the ANARE ruins, as well as areas that have become available since building removal and also possibly areas bared by further deglaciation.
