30 Jun, 11 PM - 30 Apr, 11 PM

The CRES Native Seed Gene Bank (NSGB) is a center for the ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources. The NSGB provides long-term storage of plant germplasm and conducts research in seed characterization. The NSGB requests access to the above referenced locations to monitor plant phenology and sample native plant populations. The purpose f this request is to increase the holdings of the NSGB avaliable for research and the collect of native plant distribution and phenologic data. Sampling will include: the collection of plant material sufficient for the preparation of four (4) herbarium vouchers, plant seed and seed bearing fruit sufficient to yield 5000-10,000 viable seeds, and the colection of data relevant to the sampled population (environmental conditions, geospatial references, etc.). All sampling will be conducted in a manner so as to minimize all impacts to habitats and so as to preclude the jeopardy of any biotic population. All data will be made avaliable for review upon request and provided annually in the form of a consolidated report. Herbaria will be deposited at CRES and at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Plant distribution data will be provided to the San Diego County Plant Atlas Project.
