Can anyone save my weekend with a quick homework question?

Question

I have been searching forever....

does anyone know any coniferous and/or deciduous plants that grow in Arizona? they can be native or non-native...doesnt matter

Answer 1

con.=spruce,pine,juniper.  dec.=cottonwood, maple,oak

Answer 2

Some plants that grow in Arizona in the northern regions are deciduous vines, deciduous evergreen, evergreens, shrubs and conifers, palms, bamboos, turf, citrus, and fruit trees.  I hope this helps you some.  I know Arizona is the only state that provides all of the major regions.  There are forests, deserts, and plains.  I believe if that is the case then any type of coniferous or deciduous plant could grow in the state of Arizona because it offers a wide variety of climates.

Rare Vascular Plants of the Wolf River Basin

The Wisconsin Natural Heritage Inventory lists 68 rare plant species in the Wolf River

Basin. Listed below, these include 8 WI Endangered species, 12 WI Threatened species,

and 48 Special Concern species. There are two federally listed plants, prairie whitefringed

orchid and Fassett’s locoweed. Prairie white-fringed orchid is a globally

imperiled (G2) species whereas Fassett’s locoweed is a critically imperiled variety of a

globally secure species (G5T1). Three other Wolf River plant species are considered rare

or local across their range (G3, G3G4), and the remaining 61 tracked plant species are

considered globally secure (G4, G5).

Many of the plants on this list are associated with wetlands and lake margins. Others

grow in upland forests, and several species grow in prairies and savannas.

The vicinity of the proposed Crandon Mine holds a large proportion of the documented

rare plant occurrences in the Wolf River Basin. At least 19 of the 68 rare plant species in

the Wolf River Basin are found around Crandon. An even larger proportion of rare plant

sites is concentrated there. This reflects the intensive botanical efforts made in that area

over the last 40 years and especially in the last 8 years. Some of the rare plant sites

around Crandon are on property owned by the mining company, but a great number more

are on adjacent County and National forest lands.

Botanists have also paid special attention to land within the Chequamegon-Nicolet

National Forest in the last 20 years. Our database shows 9 rare species in the Wolf River

Basin portion of the forest. In particular, the wetlands surrounding Kohlhoff Lakes boast

5 rare species. These wetlands are partly owned by private individuals.

The Wolf River Basin portion of Menominee County has supported populations of at

least 11 rare species in a wide variety of vegetative communities. Unfortunately, many of

those plants grew in the vicinity of Legend Lake, which is now owned by a large number

of individuals and has been developed for lake front recreation. Menominee County

seems to be especially important for Medeola virginiana, which suffers intensive deer

herbivory in most other parts of its Wisconsin range.

Plant Summaries

Each of the 68 rare plant species documented in the Wolf River Basin are listed and

described below. The descriptions are listed in alphabetic order according to scientific

name (written in italics) and include each species’ geographic distribution, legal status in

Wisconsin, and management considerations. The state and federal protection status listed

in the table below and the element ranks listed with each species paragraph are defined

on the first pages of the Wisconsin Natural Heritage Working List (see Appendix Q).

O - 2 Wolf River Basin Biotic Inventory Report

The dates when the species were last observed vary greatly across the list. Recently

observed plant populations are more likely to be extant than those that were reported

many decades ago. Nonetheless, old records often represent persisting populations that

simply haven’t received recent botanical attention. Recent inventory efforts have been

concentrated in limited areas of the Wolf River Basin, with a focus on public lands in the

southeastern portion of the basin.
