COVER.Sample of large layered nodule from the Roadside pit showing fluorite, opal, and bertrandite mineralization. The nodule has an interior of fine-grained quartz, fluorite, and opal, an intermediate zone of black chalcedonic quartz, and an outer zone of white opal with minor fluorite. Beryllium is concentrated in the outer opal-fluorite zone; such samples can contain as much as 1-percent beryllium as bertrandite. Size of the sample is 16×12 centimeters (photograph by David A.

AbstractCurrent global and domestic mineral resources of beryllium (Be) for industrial uses are dominated by ores produced from deposits of the volcanogenic Be type. Beryllium deposits of this type can form where hydrothermal fluids interact with fluorine and lithophile-element (uranium, thorium, rubidium, lithium, beryllium, cesium, tantalum, rare earth elements, and tin) enriched volcanic rocks that contain a highly reactive lithic component, such as carbonate clasts. Volcanic and hypabyssal high-silica biotite-bearing topaz rhyolite constitutes the most well-recognized igneous suite associated with such Be deposits. The exemplar setting is an extensional tectonic environment, such as that characterized by the Basin and Range Province, where younger topaz-bearing igneous rock sequences overlie older dolomite, quartzite, shale, and limestone sequences. Mined deposits and related mineralized rocks at Spor Mountain, Utah, make up a unique economic deposit of volcanogenic Be having extensive production and proven and probable reserves. Proven reserves in Utah, as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey National Mineral Information Center, total about 15,900 tons of Be that are present in the mineral bertrandite (Be 4 Si 2 O 7 (OH) 2 ). At the type locality for volcanogenic Be, Spor Mountain, the tuffaceous breccias and stratified tuffs that host the Be ore formed as a result of explosive volcanism that brought carbonate and other lithic fragments to the surface through vent structures that cut the underlying dolomitic Paleozoic sedimentary rock sequences. The tuffaceous sediments ...

“…By contrast, the samples from Fish Springs NWR for all species had a unique genetic signature. Due to the relative genetic isolation and distinct hydrologic and geologic conditions (Bolke & Sumsion ), this site may harbor genotypes with unique adaptations relative to other seed source sites. It is also possible that the genetic structuring noted in this population may simply be a result of founder effects and restricted gene flow over long distances.…”

The appropriate sourcing of seeds for restoration is critical for establishing foundational plant species that support ecosystem functions and services. Genetic analyses of such species can yield insights into patterns of genetic diversity and structuring to inform seed collections. Here we document, for three foundational bulrush species, distinct genetic patterns to guide restoration of wetlands along the iconic Great Salt Lake, the largest lake in western North America. Specifically, Schoenoplectus acutus and Schoenoplectus americanus had moderate levels of site-scale genet richness and relatively low genet richness levels within 1-m 2 plots. These patterns contrast with Bolboschoenus maritimus, which had higher levels of site-and plot-level genet richness, and has therefore likely experienced more recent seedling establishment. At the landscape scale, we found some evidence for genetic isolation of individuals at more remote sites (namely Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge in the West Desert of Utah), but all species are relatively well dispersed over hundreds of kilometers, a pattern most likely to occur via avian dispersal. In our mechanistic dispersal assessment, we found abundant bulrush seeds present in waterfowl gizzards and those seeds germinated readily despite (or because of) partial digestion. Migratory waterfowl likely facilitate the broad dispersal of all species and may aid in bulrush establishment by breaking seed dormancy. These findings suggest that seeds for restoration should be collected within and among seed source sites to ensure a diverse restoration seed lot that does not disrupt gene flow patterns. Implications for Practice• Wetland managers need to know where to collect seeds within sites and across landscapes for a diverse seed mixture. • Based on our genetic assessments of species widespread in North American wetlands, seed collections within a site should be from plants separated by ≥5 m (Bolboschoenus maritimus) to ≥20 m (Schoenoplectus acutus and Schoenoplectus americanus) to ensure multiple genets are sampled. • Seeds should be collected from multiple sites to maximize genetic diversity, especially for S. acutus and S. americanus, which exhibited lower site-level genet richness. • Sourcing seeds across hundreds of kilometers mimics the broad waterfowl dispersal of these species, and in most instances should not disrupt natural gene flow patterns.
