Download or read book A Flora of the Marshes of California written by Herbert L. Mason and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 1714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work gives descriptions of the currently known species of the currently known species of flowering plants and ferns that occur in wet lands, including many significant as waterfowl food. Much interest in marsh plants, hitherto neglected by botanists, has developed in recent years because of waterfowl depredations on crop lands--indicating an imbalance in the birds' relation to natural foods. This comprehensive volume will make possible for the botanist, wildlife manager, and sportsman an understanding of the marsh plants of the state. In the preparation of the volume several species of plants new to science were discovered. The classifications of many genera have had to be reorganized, and many plants from other areas not previously known in California were found. The text provides identification keys, descriptions of the plants, and indications of habitat and geographic range. Ranes are noted outside California also making the volume useful for most of the West. For a large proportion of plants, common names as well as botanical names are given. The line drawings are outstanding; they vividly illustrate more than three hundred and fifty species. There is also an illustrated key to the major groups of marsh plants, displaying the basic characters upon which classification and identification depend. An extensive glossary defining botanical terms as used in the text is provided, with references to appropriate illustrations. In the introduction, ecological features of the marsh habitats of the state are discussed, together with the problems of reconstituting marsh floras in the interests of waterfowl management. Particular emphasis is laid on the necessity of securing seed that will produce plants closely adapted to local conditions. The field work on which the volume is based covered not only the feeding and resting areas alongs waterfowl flyways, but also irrigation ditches, rice fields, streams, ponds, lakes, swamps, marshes, and bogs throughout the state. The resulting volume is a convenient and authoritative guide to the marsh plants of California. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1957.

Book excerpt: “Atkinson and Jewell invite each of us to reimagine one’s connection to the land while cultivating nature close to home. A must-read for anyone searching for inspired solutions for designing or refining a garden.” —Emily Murphy, founder of Pass the Pistil From windswept deserts to misty seaside hills and verdant valleys, the natural landscapes of the American West offer an astounding variety of climates for gardens. Under Western Skies reveals thirty-six of the most innovative designs—all embracing and celebrating the very soul of the land on which they grow. For the gardeners featured here, nature is the ultimate inspiration rather than something to be dominated, and Under Western Skies shows the strong connection each garden has with its place. Packed with Atkinson’s stunning photographs and illuminated by Jewell’s deep interest in the relationships between people and the spaces they inhabit, Under Western Skies offers page after page of encouraging ingenuity and inventive design for passionate gardeners who call the West home.

Download or read book Occidental written by Bob Dougherty and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occidental is a picturesque village in West Sonoma County nestled between the Salmon Creek and Dutch Bill Creek watersheds. William "Dutch Bill" Howard is considered the first permanent European settler in 1849, but he was not Dutch, and his name was not Bill--he was actually Danish and had assumed a new identity after deserting a ship to look for gold. Howard and another early settler, logging baron "Boss" Meeker, were instrumental in shaping early Occidental. The North Pacific Coast Railroad arrived in 1876, requiring construction of the country's tallest timber bridge. The railroad allowed much faster communication and transportation of people and goods, including redwood, charcoal, tanbark, and produce. Italians also started arriving in the 1870s, opening authentic Italian restaurants that have now served generations of families. In the 1970s, a culture clash occurred between ranchers and farmers with hippies and artists, but together they fought to maintain the beauty and character of Occidental.

Download or read book California Serpentines written by Arthur R. Kruckeberg and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1985-04-12 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive treatment of an important segment of the flora of California: native plants that have varying degrees of fidelity to serpentine rock and soil that make up over 1100 square miles in the Coast Ranges and the Sierra Nevada. Many of California's unique endemic plants are found nowhere else but on serpentine; over 200 species, subspecies, and varieties of native plants are restricted to some degree to serpentine. The author describes the geology, soils, and mineral nutrition of serpentines (low in normal essential nutrients, high in magnesium, iron, and toxic heavy metals, nickel, and chromium), the vegetation and flora that tolerate this inhospitable habitat, the fauna on serpentines, and management/conservation problems associated with serpentines. This is an essential guide to an important aspect of the flora of California.

This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carnivorous pitcher plants, pygmy conifers, and the Tiburon jewel flower, restricted to a small patch of serpentine soil on Tiburon Peninsula in Marin County, are just a few of California's many amazing endemic plants—species that are unique to particular locales. California boasts an abundance of endemic plants precisely because it also boasts the richest geologic diversity of any place in North America, perhaps in the world. In lively prose, Arthur Kruckeberg gives a geologic travelogue of California's unusual soils and land forms and their associated plants—including serpentines, carbonate rocks, salt marshes, salt flats, and vernal pools—demonstrating along the way how geology shapes plant life. Adding a fascinating chapter to the story of California's remarkable biodiversity, this accessible book also draws our attention to the pressing need for conservation of the state's many rare and fascinating plants and habitats. *148 outstanding, accurate photographs, more than 100 incolor, illustrate California's diverse flora *Covers a wide range of locations including the Channel Islands, the Central Valley, wetlands, bristlecone pine forests, and bogs and fens *Provides selected trip itineraries for viewing the state's geobotanical wonders *Includes information on human influences on the California landscape from the early Spanish explores through the gold rush and to the present
