摘要

A floristic survey of Needham, Mass. was undertaken in 2000-2002 to compare the floristic diversity of this suburban community with a checklist of the flora compiled in 1885 by a local naturalist and to identify patterns and potential causes of change in floristic biodiversity. I found a modem flora of 628 species, of which 32% are introduced. Although the total number of species remained fairly constant (691 species were present in 1885),43.5% of the native species, including 73 genera and 12 families, have been extirpated. The largest changes in the diversity of native species occurred in the Orchidaceae, with the loss of 85% of the species, and the ferns and other cryptogamic groups, with the loss of 50% of the species, including all taxa in the Ophioglossaceae. Of the extant species, 43% are restricted to one or two sites, and are considered at risk of extirpation. The change in biodiversity appears most closely correlated with the loss of open pasture habitats as a result of both development and succession to shrub or tree-dominated communities.
