Ramblings on the GeoEcology of CA "Serpentine" DESCRIPTION:Continuing our Spring Lecture Series on geology\, soils ecology and related topics\, part 2 in the series will be presented via Zoom from 6:30p.m. to 7:30p.m. on Wednesday\, March 29th.  It features Hugh Safford\, Research Ecologist with UC Davis and Chief Scientist of Vibrant Planet\, presenting\, Vegetation Ecology\, Patterns of Plant Species Diversity and Endemism\, & General Ramblings on the GeoEcology of California “Serpentine.”  \nUltramafic “serpentine” geologic substrates are well-known for their profound effects on vegetation structure. Serpentine in California also supports a disproportionately high number of native and endemic plant species. The presence of serpentine in California is closely tied to the geological and tectonic history of the state\, and patterns of diversity and endemism are driven by a complex suite of factors. Serpentine is also a major source of heavy metals in our ground and surface waters\, and asbestos in our air. Hugh will address these topics and others while conducting a virtual field trip through some of the more iconic serpentine localities in California\, plus Q&A at the end. \n<<>> \n  URL:https://lostcoast.org/event/spring-lecture-series-ramblings-on-the-geoecology-of-ca-serpentine/ LOCATION:Online only ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lostcoast.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Hugh-Safford_square-e1677547480310.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of the Lost Coast":MAILTO:info@lostcoast.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230326T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230326T170000 DTSTAMP:20230215T023413Z CREATED:20230215T023413Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230215T023413Z UID:3751-1679817600-1679850000@lostcoast.org SUMMARY:Shelter Cove Workday - Black Sands Beach DESCRIPTION:Join Friends of the Lost Coast and BLM for a day of service at Black Sands Beach in Shelter Cove from 10a.m to 1p.m. Work will consist of weeding and planting in the native plant gardens at the national monument site\, located the west end of the Black Sands Beach parking area.
