Santa Cruz Island Reserve

29 May, 05 PM - 01 Jun, 05 PM

Primary work will be implementing a fertilization experiment for Malacothamnus fasciculatus var. nesioticus. The goal of the experiment is to see if augmenting natural pollination with hand-fertilizing flowers will increase viable seed production over natural levels in 2 wild populations and 1 restored population. The sites used will be at the restored Valley Anchorage Exclosure (5/30) and the wild Cebada Ridge and Christy Bunkhouse populations (5/31 and 6/2). Time permitting, I will also be revisiting and monitoring survivorship of the Malacothamnus fasciculatus var. nesioticus and Arabis hofmanii out-planting experiment sites started in Dec 2005 as part of previously described island-wide rare plant restoration project by USGS and NPS. Exact locations provided previously. General locations: Bluebanks Exclosure, Alberts Rd, Valley Anchorage Exclosure, European Field Exclosure, Portezuelo Exclosure, Lagunitas Secas Rd.
