Non-Native Invasive Aquatic Plant and Mussel Survey of Six Umpqua National Forest Area Lakes.

摘要

Six lakes and ponds located within or near the Umpqua National Forest were surveyed for non--? native aquatic plants and mussels during August, 2009. A diverse assemblage of native plants was identified along with one possible non--?native aquatic plant hybrid in Herberts Pond. The possible hybrid between the non--?native species Myriophyllum spicatum and the native species M. sibiricum requires genetic analysis for identification. Water chemistry is suitable for the establishment of invasive mussels in Buckeye Lake; however, no zebra or quagga mussel veligers were detected in any of the lakes.
