SUMMARY:Solar Development Impacts on Annual Plants in California’s Desert Communities
LOCATION:Los Altos Library Program Room
DESCRIPTION:<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column
 "><p>California’s desert region supports hundreds of rare and unique plants
 , and is also the location of a renewable energy development boom. Even whe
 re vegetation communities are left intact or restored inside facilities, gr
 ound-mounted infrastructure may have negative impacts on desert-adapted pla
 nts because it creates novel rainfall runoff and shade conditions.</p><p>Jo
 in us for this talk to learn how Karen is using experimental solar arrays i
 n the Mojave Desert to test how these altered conditions affect plant perfo
 rmance. She is studying the response of the annual community overall, and f
 ocusing on populations of two sunflowers in greater detail: the rare <em>Er
 iophyllum</em> <em>mohavense</em> (CRPR 1B.2) and the closely related commo
 n E. wallacei. She will discuss how panels alter local microhabitats, how a
 nnual species respond and how insights gained may help reduce negative impa
 cts of energy development.</p><p>Karen Tanner is a PhD candidate at Univers
 ity of California, Santa Cruz, where she also studies strategies to improve
  salt marsh restoration outcomes at the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine R
 esearch Reserve (Monterey County). Learn more about her salt&nbsp;marsh res
 toration studies at www.karenetanner.com/index.php/saltmarsh/.</p><div clas

 n served as our Chapter’s Invasive Plant Chair for Santa Clara County in 20
 14. Before training as a plant ecologist, she worked in the computer softwa
 re industry for 15 years and prior to that she earned a degree in fine art.
