Exotic or Non-Native plants have been brought to a location by humans and may or may not have had harmful impact on the native and endemic plant species. There are a group of plants that were brought to the Channel Islands by early American and European settlers that have been causing serious damage to other plant populations, and work is underway to study these plant communities, and to determine a means to return much of the islands to their original - pre-Western human contact - state.

#1 - There are twelve different types of plant communities on the Channel Islands, but not all islands have all twelve. Name the twelve different plant communities. Valley and foothill grasslands, Maritime cactus scrub, Island woodland, Coastal oak woodlands, Coastal bluff, Pine woodland, Coastal strand/dunes, Coastal sage scrub, Salt coastal marsh, Fresh water marsh, Riparian, and Chaparral are the twelve plant communities.
#2 - The twelve communities of Island plants ALSO exist on the mainland. Have you ever visited any or these types of plant communities? Think about trees and bushes you may have seen in the hills, mountains or at a park. If yes, what type of plants have you seen? No, I have never seen any of the plants, none that I can think of.
#3 - What is the definition of a NATIVE plant? A native plant is one that has grown in a location for hundreds or thousands of years, and was there when the first European or American settlers arrived.
#4 - What is the definition of an ENDEMIC plant? These plants are the most unique plants on the islands - and in the world - in that they only exist on the California islands, and some, only on a specific island. How does this happen? Well, it is much like the unique animals that live on the islands. They were probably once very similar to another plant of animal on the mainland, but in response to environmental changes, they slowly evolved into a new life form that had never existed before.
#5 - What is the definition of an EXOTIC or NON NATIVE plant? Exotic or Non-Native plants have been brought to a location by humans and may or may not have had harmful impact on the native and endemic plant species.
#6 - What is the definition of a PLANT FOSSIL? Scientists working on the islands have occasionally come across a very exciting discovery - ancient plant fossils dating back tens of thousands of years.
#7 - What is the definition of an ENDANGERED plant? Endangered plants these are native or endemic plants that are in danger of being eradicated due to human impact on the environment and that require close attention in order to preserve them as part of the earth's natural bio-diversity.
#8 - Name three plant FOSSILS found on the Islands. . Examples of the types of fossils that have been found are: Douglas fir (Pseodotsuga menziesii) Bishop pine (Pinus muricata) Gowen cypress (Cupressus goveniana) Scientists studying these remains have determined that in the Pleistocene Era, Santa Cruz Island for example supported a much richer diversity of trees, and would have been much like the Fort Bragg area of Northern coastal California we know today.
#9 - Name a plant found ONLY as a fossil on the mainland but that STILL grows on four Channel Islands. Catalina Ironwood ( Lyonothamnus floribundas ssp. Floribundus) for example, used to have relatives living all over the American west as far inland as the Rockies according to the fossil record, but weather patterns have changes and ironwood now only lives on the Islands, with this specific species endemic to Catalina Island. Other types of ironwood live on Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz and San Clemente.
#10 - Describe special features in NATIVE PLANTS that make them important to preserve. Native plants are important for their ecological, economic, and aesthetic values. Plants play an important role in development of crops that resist disease, insects, and drought. At least 25 percent of prescription drugs contain ingredients derived from plant compounds, including treatments for cancer, juvenile leukemia, heart disease, and malaria, and medicines to assist in organ transplants. Plants are also being used to develop natural pesticides.
#11 - When scientists describe ENDEMIC plants, does this mean these plants that grow anywhere? Grow on all of the Channel Islands? Grow only on all every Channel Island? Or grow only on one or more different Channel Islands? These plants are the most unique plants on the islands - and in the world - in that they only exist on the California islands, and some, only on a specific island. How does this happen? Well, it is much like the unique animals that live on the islands.
