Santa Cruz Island Reserve

24 Jul, 07 AM - 27 Jul, 07 AM

Primary work will be performing a fertilization experiment for Malacothamnus fasciculatus var. nesioticus established 5/30/2006. 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 and the wild Cebada Ridge and Christy Bunkhouse populations. 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.
