Introduction. Under contract to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Resources, Bureau of State Forestry, investigations were undertaken to collect data describing the plants of special concern and natural communitites of Presque Isle State Park. Erie County, Pennsylvania, during 1987. The special concern plant field studies were a continuation of research conducted in 1985 and 1986 by James K. Bissell, Cleveland Museum of Natural History. The natural community studies were initiated in 1987 by James K. Bissell and Charles W. Bier, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. A. Plants of Special Concern: Durina the 1987 field season one-hundred and thirty-two (132) new occurrences of thirty-eiaht species were documented. Eight of these plants were not previously discovered durina 1985- 1986 field studies. Five of these species were found in the interior palustrine ponds, which were the focus of 1987 special concern plant surveys on the peninsula. One of these species, water-milfoil (Myriophyllum verticillatum)-, was not known in Pennsylvania before this year. Voucher specimens were collected for some new discoveries, and are deposited in Cleveland Museum of Natural History. paae 1 B.' Natural Communities The primary method of this investigation involved the use of high resolution colored aerial photography at a scale of 1 inch: 400 feet. Two sets of negatives on loan to Cleveland Musuem from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo Office, were printed. The photographs-wer,e recorded: 1986 April 27, and 1986 November 25. These photographs were then utilized during in-field surveys of the natural communities of the peninsula. Natural communities were delineated by comparing the photographs to orr-site observations; with the results recorded as community boundaries on photocopies of the aerial photographs. Additional notations were made regarding the dominant plant associates, structure, moisture and other parameters of each community. Also noted were degrees and types of disturbances impacting some of the communities mapped. Nearly 100% of the area within the park and the adjacent U. S. Coast Guard Station property was visited and evaluated. Field studies included wading and canoeing into wetlands, and the use of a glass-bottom bucket to investigate ponds and bays for mollusks. page 2 Field Survey The days involved in both the special concern plants and natural community field surveys are as follows: Bissell: twenty-seven days May: 21 June: 4, 17, 19, 24, 30 July: 2, 15, 16, 17, 29, 30 August: 1, 5, 6, 18 September: 9, 10, 23, 30 October: 2, 7, 9, 10, 15, 17 November: 1 Bier: eleven days June: 30 July: 14, 15, 24 August: 6*, 14 (* assisted by Paul G. Wiegman, Western PA Conservancy) September: 4, 9 October: 7, 22, 23 page 3 SUMMARY of PRESQUE ISLE 1985-86 BOTANICAL SURVEYS -CLEVELAND MUSEUM of NATURAL HISTORY Forty-three species listed as Plants of Special Concern in Pennsylvania (POSCIP) were documented at Presque Isle State Park by the Botany Department of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History during the 1985 and 1986 field season. One hundred and ninety-six (196) occurrences of the 43 listed species were mapped. Completion of the work required thirty-six (36) field days and forty-five (45) days of in-museum work by curator Bissell. In addition, volunteers at the museum spent 350 hours working on the Presque Isle Project during 1985 and 1986. Part- time assistant, Barbara Hosta spent 420 hours processing the specimens, preparing field books, and organizing the data for the 1985 and 1986 reports for the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory. The,forty-three POSCIP species reported from Presque Isle are found in the following five plant communities: 1. Palustrine sand flats 2. Dry sand plain 3. Dunes 4. Ponds 5. Mixed emergent marshes 1.Palu strine sand plain The palustrine sand plain is a moist sparsely vegetated sandy flat. Standing water is often present in the spring. The water table often drops below the surface during the summer. Typical sand plain species includes: Juncus articjk@atus Juncus balticus, page 4 Juncus alpinus, Cyperus rivularis, Cyperus flavenscens, Agalinia paupercula, Carex viridula, Carex garberi, and Hypericum majus. Eighteen POSCIP species were documented within the palustrine sand plain: Agalinis paupercula Tentatively Undetermined Carex bebbii Endangered Carex garberi Endangered Carex viridula Endangered Cyperus diandrus Threatened Cyperus engelmanii Endangered Eleocharis elliptica Endangered Eleocharis pauciflora Endangered Hemicarpha mircrantha Endangered Hypericum majus Threatened Juncus alpinus Threatened Juncus balticus Rare Juncus brachycephalus Rare Juncus torreyi Threatened Lathyrus palustria Tentatively Undetermined Lobelia kalmii Endangered Potentialla anserina Threatened Potentilla paradoxa Endangered 2. Dry sand plain The dry sand plain is an open dry grassland usually dominated by Sorghastrum nutans, Panicum virgatum and Andropogon Scoparius. Other species common in the sand plain include: Carex muhlenbergii, Carex tonsa, Rumex acetosella and Dichanthelium sabulorum. Five POSCIP species were found within the dry sand plain: Dichanthelium sabulorum Threatened Digitaria cognatum Rare Germanium bicknellii Tentatively Undetermined Lithospermum caroliniense Endangered Lupinus perennis Rare page 5 3. Dunes Sand dunes and drift beaches at Presque Isle support nine POSCIP species. Ammophila breviligulata and Populus deltoides are the most frequent dune builders, but in some areas Panicum virgatum, Andropogon scoparius and Elymus canadensis are important dune builders. Active dunes at Presque Isle are best developed from the Light House eastward to the tip of Gullpoint. Nine@POSCIP species occur within the dunes and drift beaches at Presque Isle: ARm9phila breviliqqulata Threatened Artemisia campestris ssp.caudata Endangered Cakile edentula Rare Chamaf@S-Y-Clt polygonifolia Threatened C hweinitzii Rare ap4krlls sc La japonicus Threatened Ptelea trifoliata Rare S-Porobolus cryptandrus Rare Trip asis purpurea Endangered 4. Ponds This plant community is found along the bay shoreline and within open ponds in the interior sections of the park. The ponds which have well developed.aquatic beds are som etimes sparsely covered with Nuphar advena_, Nymphaea odorata, Brasenia schreberi and Potamogeton natans. The five aquatic bed POSCIP species documented are: Potamoqeton richardsonii Endangered. Potarmpgeton zosteriformis Tentatively Undetermined Utricularia gibba Tentatively Undetermined Utricularia intermedia Tentatively Undetermined Utricularia minor Tentatively Undetermined page 6 5. Mixed emergent marshes The emergent wetland complex includes Typha swamp, Carex meadows, Calamagrostis marshes, non-persistent Nuphar-Nymphaea-Pontederia marshes and Acer-Quercus-Nyssa-Cephalanthus savannas with extensive mixed herbaceous marsh openings. Six POSCIP species were documented: Carex aquatilis Threatened Cladium mariscoides Threatened Eleocharis quadrangulata Endangered Scirpus acutus Endangered scirpuss fluviatilis Rare Zizania aquatica Rare page 7 FOUR MANAGEMENT SUGGESTIONS for POSCIP SPECIES at PRESQUE ISLE STATE PARK (1 Initiate an alien eradication program. Several alien plants now well established at Presque Isle pose a Aerious threat'to the long-term survival of native plants within the park. The uncontrolled spread of these aliens in the park probably poses a areater threat to ecologically sensitive areas than the five million people who annually visit the park. The six aliens well established at Presque Isle include Japanese bush- .honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowi), Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspid tum), narrow leaved cattail (Typha. Apq@kq:!@_*J@qliA),'hybrid cattail (Typha X glauca), Chinese bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), and European alder (Alnus. glutinosa). If these aliens continue to spread in the park, many of the significant natural areas in the park will be destroyed. (2) Experiment with possible methods for controlling Phragm i es and hybrid cattail within park wetlands. Phragmites (F_krAgmi.tes australis) and hybrid cattail (Typha X qlauca), pose a serious th reat to the long term survival of several rare wetland communities within the park. The page 8 phragmites growing within Dead Pond is currently competing with several plants which are endangered, threatened or rake in PA: four-angled spike-rush (Eleocharis quadrangulata); hard stem bull-rush (Scirpus acutus); water sedge (Carex aquatilis); and t wig-rush (Cladium mariscoides). Dead pond is the only location where twig-rush currently grows in the park. There are-only 21 twig- rush plants and a dense stand of phragmites now grows above the twig-rush. A research program should be initiated to determine if treatment of the aerial portions of phragmites with the herbicide Rodeo favors the arowth of Cladium within the phragmites stand. (3) Establish a water quality monitoring program for the interior ponds; Long Pond, Big Pond, Pond of the Woods, Grave Yard Pond, Yellow Bass Pond, Ridge Pond, Niagara Pond, Cranberry Pond and Meander Pond. Rare plant inventories by the museum were carried out within the isolated interior ponds during the 1987 field season; Ridge Pond, Big Pond, Long Pond, Yellow Bass Pond, Horseshoe Pond, Meander Pond, Niagara Pond and Cranberry Pond. Several rare submersed aquatic species were found within Ridae Pond, Big Pond, Niagara Pond, Meander Pond and Horseshoe Pond. One aquatic plant found in both Ridge and Niagara Ponds, two leaved water-milfoil (Myriophyllum heterophyllum), grows nowhere else in Pennsylvania. Pollution from the sand mounds may degrade the water quality of the interior ponds, and a decline in water quality would likely page 9 threaten the survival of the rare aquatic plants such as t,he two- leaved water milfoil. (4) Establish a deer exclosure to protect some species which are severely grazed and browsed by deer in the park. The large deer population in the park is a threat to the survival of several plant species in the park. Among the plants which the deer are grazing and browsing, hairy puccoon (Lithospermum caroliniense) seems to be the most seriously threatened by deer. Hairy puccoon, an endangered plant in Pennsylvania, grows nowhere else in the state. During 1987 the deer severely grazed the puccoon at all locations where it grows in the park. All puccoons on the Long Ridge sand plain were eaten to ground level. Construction of an exclosure fence may be the only method to protect the puccoon. page 10 Pu.,rp.os,e and- u-t.ility of. th'is s.tu@ The oblective of this study was to collect detailed information describing the plants of special concern and the natural communities present at Presque Isle, Erie County, Pennsylvania. This information was crathered in a detailed format which especially focussed upon providing the exact location of the plants and communities involved. The majority of the field studies were accomplished within Presque Isle State Park, although the area managed by the U. S. Coast Guard at its station near Horseshoe Pond was also investigated. The results of this study should be of value to the following agencies during their manaaement of Presque Isle's natural resources: : Bureau of State Parks (PA DER) Presque Isle State Park : U.S. Coast Guard : Bureau of Water Resources Management (PA DER) Coastal Zone Manaaement : Bureau of Forestry (PA DER) Forest Advisory Services : Pennsylvania Game Commission : Pennsylvania Fish Commission The detailed information provided in this report can be reviewed and utilized by these agencies during their mandated operations, for example: a) Bureau of State Parks, U. S. Coast Guard: This report will be on file with the Superintendent, Presque State Park for use in both addressing the challences of the daily management of the park's .resources. and for use in long range planning. Thus, the Bureau will be more effective in carrying out its stated "Management Objectives (4700.000)", including the provisions for wildlife, fishery, wetlands, vegetative management. water resource management and natural areas. These objectives cover pacre both the overall natural resources of state parks.. and the endanaered or unique resources. This report provides site specific information to allow management of plants of special concern and the uniaue natural communities associated with these species, as well as common and special concern animals. The detailed natural community map will be especially useful to the park superintendent, and is intended as a consultation tool for park staff. This report could be used in a similar way by U.S. Coast Guard personnel. b) Bureau of State Parks, Bureau of Forestry: Baseline data is now available that can act as a foundation for future research, including continued studies involvina the location of additonal species of special concern (flora/fauna), their ecology and management (monitorina and habitat protection). In addition, future research can continue to refine the present knowledge of the peninsula's natural communities, as presented herein. c) PA Game Commission, PA F ish Commission: The results of this study may be useful to these aaencies in their management of wildlife at Presque isle, especially as related to the natural community types outlined, and as related to plants of special concern. d) Bureau of State Parks, Bureau of Water Resources Management (Division of Coastal Zone Management) , and state/federal natural resources regulatory agencies: Development projects in the form of park improvements, shoreline protection/management and other environmental alterations, can consult the map and associated plants of special concern data (presented here and as stored in PA Natural Diversity Inventory) during early planning stages to assist their assessment of the potential environmental impacts to the natural resources treated durina this study. e) Department of Environmental Resources: This study provides information which could assist in meeting the requirements of 25 PA. Code Chapter 82. Conservation of Pennsylvania Native Wild Plants, and by helping to " determine measures to manage wild plants in order to provide for continued existence of the plants" and allowing the evaluation of sites suitable for designation as "public wild plant sanctuaries" as required by P.L. 157 No. 170, known as the Wild Pesource Conservation Act. page 12 NATURAL COMMUNITY CLASSIFICATION: PRESQUE ISLE During the fieId investigations involved with this study, the natural communities of Presque Isle were both delineated and classified. The large color coded map accompanying this report is the result of the comparison of color aerial photography and the-natural communities experienced in the field. These natural communities were categorized through a draft format consistent with the classification utilized in the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory (PNDI) project. Note: the PNDI natural community classification is also in a draft phase as field research continues across the state. The primary or gross level of natural community classification is the " Ecological Unit", and follows Cowardin, et al (1979). In the classification, Ecological Units are identified by Roman numerals. The secondary classification level is the name of the overall.Natural Community type encompassing the Community; followed by the third and final level, the specific name for each Plant Community based upon one or more of the following attributes: 1) the names of the dominant canopy vegetation up to a maximum Of three species; if more than three apparently codominant species exist, a generic name is applied (e.g., "mixed aquatic bed"); 2) the name of a characteristic, obligate, or faithful plant species; 3) a dominant, or characteristic, physiognomic (e.g., savannah, etc.) or abiotic environmental feature (e.g., substrate, soil chemistry, etc.) Plant communities are identified by the term "community" at the page 13 end of the name. Given this introduction, the-draft classification of the natural communities of Presque Isle determined during this study are as follows: I. Lacustrine A. Eastern Great Lakes Littoral Zone (further undefined at present) B. Eastern Great Lakes Bay Mixed Aquatic Bed Community (bays, large ponds) II. Palustrine A. Great Lakes Palustrine Sandplain 1) Mixed Herbaceous Calcareous Sandplain 2) Populus deltoides - Mixed Herb Sandplain Community 3) Shrub Savannah Sandplain Community 4) Populus deltoides - Shrub Thicket Savannah Community 5) Calamagrostis canadensis Mixed Herb Community 6) Calamagrostis canadensis Myrica Savannah Community 7) Calamacrostis canadensis Mixed Broadleaf - Pine Plantation Forest Community 8) Calamacrostis canadensis 7.

M. et al. 1979. FWS/OBS. 79/31 page 15 Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory Initiated in 1981 through a cooperative agreement between the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory (PNDI) is modelled after The Nature Conservancy's Natural Heritage Programs. PNDI is coordinated by PA D.E.R.1 Bureau of Forestry, with technical assistance from 'the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in 31 western counties, and by The Nature Conservancy in 36 eastern counties. The Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory is a multiple index data system which collects and manages locational, ecological, status and source information pertaining to the state's "natural resources of special concern". These resources include rare and endangered species, biological communities (natural communities), and significant examples of geologic features. Baseline information is collected from a variety of sources, such as plant and animal specimens deposited in museums, relevant literature, graduate thesis papers, and details provided by expert biologists. This data is managed through several techniques including the plotting of localities on U.S.G.S. 7.5' quadrangles, and the creation of computerized reports describing each mapped occurrence of an endangered species, unique wetland community, etc.. Presently, the PNDI database contains more than 6,500 records and.additional supporting data. page 16 In order to have the PNDI system reflect the actual status of these special concern resources as accurately as possible, historic reports are being confirmed or denied through field studies. Previously unknown occurrences of species and natural communities are also sought. These studies are conducted by associate researchers, consulting biologists, interested volunteers, graduate students and PNDI staff. The PNDI project also works in conjunction with the efforts of the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish Commission. Newly collected data from this wide variety of sources is used to update and refresh the data system. Thus, PNDI is a dynamic,information resource. A primary function of the PNDI data system is as a tool in the management of natural resources, and as a guidance mechanism in the determination and implementation of.conservation objectives. The computerized database facilitates the evaluation of proposed developments, such as road construction, commercial forestry practices and flood control projects. Because PNDI stores site specific locality and status data, populations of imperiled species, or examples of unique natural communities can be managed for more effective ly. PNDI also provides basic information to biologists conducting further studies regarding the range and distribution, life history, or more detailed ecological questions pertaining to the commonwealth's natural diversity of species, natural communities and their habitats.
