Provides information on status, habitat, identification, and conservation recommendations for endangered species of plants, animals, and insects

A Flora of Northeastern Minnesota was first published in 1965. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. A manual for the identification of the ferns, fern allies, flowering plants, trees, shrubs, and herbs of Minnesota's Arrowhead region, this volume lists 113 botanic families and describes 1,300 species, with keys for identification. There are 80 line drawings of plant species and 419 maps showing distribution.

A survey of vegetation growing on dredged material in Navigation Pool 8 of the Upper Mississippi River was made to determine plant species. Twenty-three dredged material sites in Pool 8 were surveyed and more than 3000 specimens collected of 304 species representing 64 plant families. Correlation of site ages, elevations, and plant community associations was used to determine primary colonizers of the various dredged material habitats. Sporobolus cryptandius (Torr.) Gray, Triplasis purpurea (Walt.) Chapm., Cyperus schweinitzii Torr., and Cycloloma atriplicifolium (Spreng.) Coult. were found to be pioneer herbaceous species of dry exposed dredged material sites. Upland invasion by woody species did not occur readily, but after a lengthy period species such as Vitis riparia Michx., Toxicodendron rydbergii Greene, and Rubus occidentalis L. encroached from surrounding forests.
