Appendix 1. University of California Natural Reserve System (NRS) Sensitive Plant Species

Appendix 1 from Riordan and Rundel (2019) report entitled "Evaluating the Future Role of the University of California Natural Reserve System for Sensitive Plant Protection under Climate Change" provides a list of sensitive vascular plant taxa recorded on University of California Natural Reserve System reserves. Status and taxonomy follow the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants (as of September 30, 2018). Data was compiled from reserve species lists, floras, and occurrence data downloaded in 2013-2014 from the Consortium of California Herbaria (CCH), California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), and CalPhotos. Please note that this list is incomplete and may contain errors stemming from mis-identifications, taxonomic uncertainties, or location uncertainties. Occurrences do not include observations made or digitized after 2013. Sensitive plant status for some taxa may change with periodic revisions to the CNPS rare plant inventory. For the most up-to-date information visit the rare plant inventory's website (http://www.rareplants.cnps.org/). We were unable to find information for sensitive plants on Jenny Pygmy Forest Reserve or the Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center. There are no sensitive plants records on Ano Nuevo Island Reserve (due to severe pinniped disturbance), however, several sensitive plants do have historical records on the mainland in Ano Nuevo State Park. Plants for the White Mountains Research Center are based on observations located within 2 miles of the Summit, Barcroft, and Crooked Creek stations. Sensitive plants are included for the associated parks Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and Yosemite National Park, both of which have formal legal agreements with the UCNRS, as well as for the Deep Canyon Transect (associated with Boyd Deep Canyon Desert Research Center) and the 40,000 acre Granite Mountains (associated with Sweeney Granite Mountains Desert Research Center).
