Evaluating the Potential for Preservation of the Oak Openings in Northwestern Ohio Using Geographic Information Systems
Author: Pamela Ann Frost

Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Geographic Information Systems were used to explore the feasibility of developing a preserve system within the Oak Openings of Northwestern Ohio. Natural habitat distributions were determined using various grid sizes and parcel data. Results showed clusters of highly suitable natural areas in and around the existing preserves surrounded by less suitable habitat, suggesting the existence of barriers to connectivity. Natural Heritage elements were concentrated in preserves, along roads and streams. Wetlands were scattered throughout the area. Connecting all of the preserves solely with highly suitable natural habitat is impossible but, the Kitty Todd-Irwin Prairie area shows promise for connectivity.

Book Description
This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-Oho Oak Openings. Site Description - The Ohio Oak Openings site is located within the Oak Openings Preserve Metropark of northwest Ohio, one of the few remaining oak woodlands/savanna/prairie complexes in the Midwest. Declared one of the "One of America's Last Great Places" by the Nature Conservancy the area consists of four main vegetation types: Oak Woodlands, Oak Savanna, Floodplain Forests and Wet Prairies. The stand surrounding the tower is mainly Oak Woodlands dominated by red, white and black oaks with a relatively abundant population of red maples indicating high soil moisture retention and a history of limited fire disturbances. Most of the area was cleared for agriculture at the time of Euro-American settlements in the mid to late-19th century. A large fraction of the cleared land was later abandoned due to the poor sandy soils. These areas reverted to Oak Savannas and in cases where fire was limited progressively made the transition to Oak Woodlands. Today patches of the forest are burned every few years as part of prescribed burning cycle to control stand density.

A MULTISCALE SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF OAK OPENINGS PLANT DIVERSITY WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT
Author: Timothy A. Schetter
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biodiversity
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Oak savannas of the Midwestern U.S. are among the most imperiled North American plant communities. The 478-km2 Oak Openings region of Northwestern Ohio is one of the few landscape-scale savanna systems remaining in the Midwest. Despite conversion of large portions of the Oak Openings for human land uses, the region still supports high levels of floristic diversity. However, regional patterns of Oak Openings plant diversity within the modern landscape are not well understood. My research objectives were 1) to determine the current extent and distribution of Oak Openings plant communities, 2) to quantify multiscale patterns of plant species richness within the context of the surrounding landscape, and 3) to build predictive species distribution models of rare plants to evaluate regional patterns in habitat suitability. First, using multi-seasonal Landsat images, I determined that

Seventh Catalog of the Vascular Plants of Ohio
Author: Tom S. Cooperrider
Publisher: Ohio State University Press
ISBN: 9780814208588
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Scientific study of Ohio's plant life began in the late eighteenth century, and the first catalog of Ohio's vascular plants was published in 1860. The most recent catalog, published in 1932, has understandably become outdated. Now Tom S. Cooperrider and his co-authors, Barbara K. Andreas, Allison W. Cusick, Guy L Denny, John V. Freudenstein, and John J. Furlow, provide a comprehensive, modern reference covering the Ohio vascular flora. Including two thorough indexes -- one to scientific names, one to common names -- this user-friendly book will be invaluable for conservation and environmental workers in Ohio and surrounding states.
