Abstract:: Increased temperatures due to anthropogenic-induced climate change may raise the threat of extinction for taxa with sessile life histories (e.g., plants) in the near future. Linking climate change models to demographic models may provide useful insights into the potential effects of environmental changes on rare plants, and therefore aid in...

Creator:: Jones, Katherine D.
Abstract:: Identifying mechanisms that determine who lives and dies is the first step in developing successful restoration techniques for rare species and endangered habitats. We studied interactions that affect establishment of native plant forbs of conservation concern at the seedling stage to support the theoretical basis for restoration activities in Pacific...

The remnant prairies that persist today are small in size and are highly fragmented. Marginal strips of...

Creator:: Lawrence, Beth A.
Abstract:: Golden paintbrush (Castilleja levisecta Greenman) historically inhabited the prairies of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. However, this Pacific Northwest endemic is currently restricted to eleven sites in the Puget Trough of Washington and British Columbia. Recovery criteria call for the establishment of new populations throughout the species historic range, including the...
