Weiss Ph.D. LOCATION:Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIqcOyvqjgjEt3wAfnMvW2NjQ0z xx4VLULR DESCRIPTION:Edgewood Natural Preserve near Redwood City is famous for its flower-filled serpentine grasslands. But the 467 acres of Edgewood support great biodive rsity in the chaparral, oak woodlands, and grasslands on more fertile soils . The 100+ acres of fertile grasslands are by far the most weed-invaded hab itat, and have been the focus of successful control of “macroweeds.” Learn how the Friends of Edgewood and Creekside Science are pursuing the goal of decreasing “microweeds” and increasing native cover and diversity.\n\nA Rap id Assessment Plot (RAP) inventory with over 80 plots documented more than 90 native species in the fertile grasslands, albeit often at low cover. The y are investigating treatments to reduce annual weed seedlings just after g ermination, including hydromechanical pulverization (HMP) -- basically pres sure washing the grassland, and close-mowing with string cutters.\n\nBeside s commercially available local seeds, they are using more than 15 species o f “boutique” seeds grown at Edgewood Farms and the Native Garden. They are trying to develop a long-term “indigenous” approach to restoration, whereby a beautiful, colorful diversity of native plants is established and can sp read naturally given occasional management. Dr Weiss will be presenting the exciting first year results and the second year scaling up.\n\nStu Weiss, Ph.D. (Stanford University) is Chief Scientist of Creekside Science, which provides scientific and conservation expertise to diverse organizations as they cope with the rapidly changing 21st Century environment. He has resear ched the Bay checkerspot butterfly and serpentine grasslands since 1979, an d has authored numerous scientific papers concerning climate/microclimate, population dynamics, nitrogen deposition, and conservation ecology. Creeksi de Science executes many hands-on restoration projects, including butterfly reintroductions, propagation of endangered plants, and habitat monitoring and management. His research and advocacy were instrumental in the developm ent of the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Plan, and he is Science Advisor for t he Bay Area Conservation Lands Network.
