FLORA OF AMNICON FALLS STATE PARK, DOUGLAS COUNTY, WISCONSIN

摘要

The vascular plants and plant communities observed from 2006 to 2008 at Amnicon Falls State Park, located in Douglas County, 24 kilometers east of the city of Superior and eight kilometers south of Lake Superior in northwestern Wisconsin are presented. The most commonly encountered plant communities were the spruce/fir boreal forest and the aspen/birch forest. The vascular plant list included 400 taxa from 79 families. There were 19 ferns and fern allies, seven gymnosperms, and 374 angiosperms. Fifteen county records were discovered in the course of the survey, as well as the observation and confirmation of one species listed as threatened and seven species listed as special concern in the State. These data are presented to document floral composition, and to provide a base for future research activities within the park and region.
