2 Rake Toss Methods Based on Point Intercept Methods Developed by Cornell University Standard Weed Anchor Used Two 13 wide metal rakes attached back to back 10 meter rope Two Rake Tosses per Site Sites GPS-referenced Midtech RX 400p GPS Receiver Smartpad II (Ver. 4.02) Data Logger Standard Plant Densities Used Submersed and floating plant densities separated All plants identified to species (if possible) All plants digitally photographed Voucher specimens collected to verify field identification Survey Conducted August 6 & 7, 2008 (~17 hours on the water) Dense Medium Sparse Trace
3 Factors Affecting the 2008 Survey Littoral Zone Usually defined as >15 feet Limited at the Three Lakes Restricted to shoreline zones, East and West ends of lakes, and shallow coves Rocks Restricted the retrieval of the weed anchors Two anchor tosses per site Methodology tends to result in increased occurrence, but a decrease in overall density Hand Pulling Alters aquatic plant assemblage Canal Sampling One anchor toss per site

5 Eurasian water milfoil Myriophyllum spicatum Aggressive, exotic Most common aquatic plant found during 2008 survey Tolerates a wide range of substrate types Creates canopies at surface to shade out other plants Monoculture stands reduce aquatic biota diversity Reproduces via fragmentation (but seeds and roots, too)
6 Pondweeds Diverse group of aquatic plants Most are desirable natives Create excellent fish habitat, cover, and food sources Most are prolific seed producers Robbins Pondweed creates dense bottom cover Bass Weed (Potamogeton amplifolius) Robbins Pondweed (Potamogeton robbinsii)
7 Pondweeds (con t) Leafy Pondweed (P. foliosus) Fine leaves, low growing Often crowded out by invasives Ribbon-leaf Pondweed (P. epihydrus) Produces floating leaves Flat-stem Pondweed (P. zosteriformis) Easily confused with water stargrass Leafy Pondweed (P. foliosus) Ribbon-leaf Pondweed (P. epihydrus) Flat-stemPondweed (P. zosteriformis)
8 Pondweeds (con t) Curly-leaf Pondweed (P. crispus) Aggressive, exotic plant Native to Europe Early season grower Naturally dies back in June-July Produces pine cone-like turions Can overwinter under the ice Very common throughout New York
9 Waterweeds Brazilian Elodea (Egeria densa) Aggressive, Exotic Discovered in Lake Waccabuc Isolated in cove First documented infestation in Westchester county Likely the result of an aquarium dump (2-3 years ago?) 2009 Eradication Program 4 to 6 leaves in whorl Common Waterweed (Elodea canadensis) Desirable native, very common Questionable identification? 3 leaves in whorl
10 Coontail Ceratophyllum demersum Very common submersed plant in NY Lacks a true root system Can move around basin Can also be loosely anchored via modified leaves Desirable native species But can reach nuisance densities Coontail Pods used by pond managers as a nutrient sink Leaves arranged in a whorl (5-12) Typically stiff and calcified
11 Arrowhead Actually an emergent plant, found along the shoreline Submersed rosettes recovered during survey Difficult to determine species from rosette Excellent wildlife habitat and food source Stabilizes the shoreline and acts as a nutrient buffer
12 Dwarf water milfoil Myriophyllum tenellum Related to Eurasian water milfoil Uncommon in NY But often overlooked Slender, unbranched stems 2-15 cm tall Leaves reduced to scales Excellent sediment stabilizer Often creates a dense carpet on bottom Prefers shallow water with sandy substrate
13 Stonewort Nitella sp. Actually, a multi-branched algae Shares the ecological niche of other macrophytes Creeping Bladderwort Utricularia gibba Only bladderwort collected in 2008 Lacks true roots Bladders used to capture prey Protozoa, insect larvae
14 Water Lilies Leaves float on the surface Provide shade and cover Can reach nuisance density Reproduce via rhizomes Three species observed at the Three Lakes during 2008 survey White Water Lily (Nymphaea odorata) Round leaves with prominent notch; white flower Watershield (Brasenia schreberi) Underside and stem covered with gelatinous mucus; tiny purple flower Spatterdock (Nuphar variegata) Large oval leaves; also called yellow lily

32 Lake Oscaleta: Bass Weed vs. Eurasian Watermilfoil Robust bass weed beds are limiting the Eurasian water milfoil distribution at the East and West Ends of Lake Oscaleta? (2003) What about in 2008?
