Native plant identification key for the Palos Verdes Peninsula, California.

Week 4:

Calflora. No date. What grows here. Interactive list of species found by geography. Available at http://www.calflora.org/app/wgh?page=entry Experiment with different ways of bringing up lists of species (by geographies, life forms, native or non-native status, etc.) for places of interest to you (perhaps your home community, a park you're familiar with, or drawing a polygon around someplace of interest to you?) Bring up Point Mugu State Park and tighten the list by clicking Quality and asking for at least 5 records, showing Results by photo, Order by scientific name, and Group by status. Rodrigue, Christine M. 2014. Data entry forms for La Jolla Valley quadrat/transects. Please transfer your field data onto these forms. Rodrigue, Christine M. 2010. Specimen attribute checklist: Filling it out as best you can may make key use easier. Rodrigue, Christine M. 2010. Botanical glossary: oblanceolate? glabrous? rachis? whorled? Rodrigue, Christine M. 2010. Spatial scales of biodiversity. Make sure you understand what alpha, beta, and gamma diversity mean. We're going to integrate transects you took with those taken by various other student groups and calculate these measures. Rodrigue, Christine M. 2012. CSS hypotheses. Review these to become familiar with the state of the ongoing CSS project that your fieldwork will help build. Bever, James D.; Schultz, Peggy A.; Pringle, Anne; and Morton, Joseph B. 2001. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: More diverse than meets the eye, and the ecological tale of why. BioScience 51, 11: 923- 932. Hilderbrand, Robert H.; Watts, Adam C.; and Randle, April M. 2005. The myths of restoration ecology. Ecology and Science 10, 1: 19. Alguacil, M.M.; Lumini, E.; Roldán, A.; Salinas-García, J.R.; Bonfante, P.; and Bianciotto, V. The impact of tillage practices on mycorrhizal fungal diversity in subtropical crops. Ecological Applications 18, 2: 527-536. Society for Ecological Restoration International Science and Policy Working Group. 2004.
