Description

No rare plant species or special plant communities were observed during the spring rare vascular plant survey. Two potentially rare species observed along the Jarvis Lake Trails should be rechecked later in the season to determine to the species level. The level of confidence in locating rare plants is a function of the time spent searching, plus appropriate season. The late May 2007 rare plant survey was early for detection of rare plant species; most flowering plants were just emerging from the ground and early-flowering species such as willows were in some cases, not even out yet in leaf. None of the habitats encountered were considered unique or unusual, based on the literature review, expected and known element occurrences in the project area or region, plus professional judgement by the botanist conducting the rare plant survey. Recommended mitigation measures are indicated by site, in the aforementioned sections.

Description

This report is one in a series of nineteen that provide a brief assessment of recent and historical information collected through the Provincial Parks Lake Monitoring Program in an attempt to describe current states of water quality in these recreational waters. These waterbodies vary considerably in terms of their physical, chemical, and biological characteristics and represent the spectrum of water quality found within other typical lakes and reservoirs in Alberta.
