BOWERS, JANICE E. (U.S. Geological Survey, 1675 W. Anklam Road, Tucson, AZ 85745). More flowers or new cladodes? Environmental correlates and biological consequences of sexual reproduction in a Sonoran Desert prickly pear cactus, Opuntia engelmannii. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 123: 34-40. 1996.-Should a platyopuntia expend all aerolar meristems in flower production, no new cladodes could be produced, and further reproductive effort and vegetative growth would cease. To investigate the trade-off between flower and cladode production, the numbers of flowers, fruits, and cladodes were monitored for 4 years on 30 Opuntia engelmannii Saim-Dyck. plants on Tumamoc Hill, Tucson, Arizona. Plant size controlled the number of flowers initiated each spring. The proportion of flowers that developed (i.e., did not abort) was perhaps determined by December-February rainfall in the months before bloom, with more being developed in the wettest years. Models based on different ratios of initiated cladodes to initiated flowers demonstrated that continued high investment in flowers and fruits would eventually terminate reproduction altogether; therefore periods of high sexual reproduction should alternate with periods of high vegetative growth. In the first 3 years of this study, the ratio of new cladodes to initiated flowers was low, showing a high investment in sexual reproduction. As suggested by the model, the population recouped this investment in the fourth year, when the number of new cladodes was nearly 3 times the 1992-1994 mean, and the number of initiated flowers was only 73% of the 3-year mean.

An allozyme study of two sibling species of Lemna (Lemnaceae) with comments on their morphology, ecology and distribution. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 123: 1-6. 1996.-Enzyme electrophoresis was employed to examine divergence between Lemna mninuta H.B.&K. and L. valdiviana Phil., two nearly indistinguishable species comprising sect. Uninerves of Lemna. Fifteen presumptive loci were resolved for 25 clones of Lemna minuta and 26 of L. valdiviana. Genetic identity between the two species is 0.70, which is near the mean value for congeneric species of flowering plants, but is much higher than values reported for other species of Lemnaceae. With the exception of two clones, the taxonomic designations of the strains correlated with monomorphism for alternative alleles at two MDH loci. The two species are highly differentiated at two other loci as well. Although the taxa are morphologically similar, they differ in geographic distribution, flavonoid chemistry, and certain physiological and ecological attributes. The relatively high identity at allozyme loci compared to other Lemnaceae suggests that L. minuta and L. valdiviana are closely related and recently diverged sister species.

Above- and below-ground characteristics of persistent forest openings in the New Jersey Pinelands. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club. 122:298-305. 1995.-Openings in the pitch pine (Pinus rigida Mill.) forests of southern New Jersey may persist for decades. In five such openings, ranging in size from 22 to 223 m2, and their surrounding forest matrix, we characterized the vegetation, the forest floor, root biomass, soil chemistry and soil fungi. There was a much greater disparity between the openings and the forest matrix in the density of small ericad shrubs than in the number or basal area of the canopy trees, and this disparity was mirrored in the thickness of the litter and organic horizons, and in the total small root biomass. The matrix:gap ratios of total root biomass and of total soil fungal length were similar to the ratios for tree and large shrub densities. Extractable NH4-N, BrayP, pH, and soil moisture did not differ between the openings and matrix, but extractable N03-N was higher in the openings than the intact forest. We suggest that the shrubs may be an important factor in maintaining the differences between the openings and the matrix, by trapping litter, maintaining high root biomasses, and inhibiting decomposition. If the organic horizon is destroyed in a locally intense disturbance, the slow rate of invasion and growth of the shrubs into mineral soil may help perpetuate the opening for long periods of time.

As seeds entered dormancy, they first lost the ability to germinate at 15/6?C and then at higher temperatures. Buried seeds exposed to seasonal temperature changes for 28 months in the nonheated greenhouse exhibited an annual dormancy/nondormancy cycle, with full dormancy occurring in September-November. Seeds came out of dormancy in winter (December-March), and they germinated to 8596% in light at simulated habitat temperatures from mid-April until July. Although 20-50% of the seeds germinated in darkness at simulated habitat temperatures in spring (March-June), only 2% of them germinated while buried in soil in the nonheated greenhouse. Thus, seeds have the potential to form a persistent seed bank.
