Our biodiversity calls for a celebration!
Today is California Biodiversity Day, featuring the lovely Purdy's fritillary (Fritillaria purdyi). It is a time to celebrate our state’s unique biodiversity and encourage actions to protect it.
In honor of the occasion, we are highlighting the Klamath Mountains, which cover an area managed by several national forests including the Shasta-Trinity, Siskiyou, Klamath, Mendicino, and the Six Rivers. These mountains are considered a center of biodiversity and endemism, with many species found nowhere else in the world. That term, biodiversity, is often used to refer to the number of different species in a given area and their relative abundance.
In the Klamath mountains, much of the diversity is attributed to the large amounts of serpentine landscape and the endemic species they support. Endemic species are ones that are found in one particular place or region and can even be associated with a particular type of soil. In this case its the nutrient poor but heavy metal rich serpentine soils that would usually be a tough place to survive for many plants. To make things harder, serpentine patches occur in belts or patches and that means some plants nearest species neighbors may be many miles away. This combination of stark living conditions and isolation for these plants can lead to speciation, or the process by which new and distinct species form. But when diverse and endemic species arise, they add to the overall biodiversity of the region!
This means a few things for those visiting these biodiverse areas:
🥾Tread lightly and watch where you are walking in these delicate landscapes.
📷Leave only footprints and take only pictures. Some of these special plants may not have a similar neighbor for miles, and they shouldn’t be removed.
🗣Spread the word about what makes this place special! Awareness helps us protect our biodiversity.
