Isla Brush Creek, flora, hábitats, invasores, conadado de Lewis, Kentucky, río OhioResumen
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de la flora vascular y los hábitats de plantas de Brush Creek Island, una isla del río Ohio de 6,7 ha en el condado de Lewis, Kentucky, durante 1995–1996 y 2012. Brush Creek Island (BC), una de las tres islas del río Ohio políticamente una parte de Kentucky, actualmente es de propiedad privada y se proyecta como una parte futura del Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre de las Islas del Río Ohio. Dos hábitats principales en 2012 fueron la línea costera no consolidada con vegetación y el bosque de madera dura de tierras bajas, un último sere del campo viejo tardío y el bosque de madera dura de tierras bajas inmaduros. Dos hábitats adicionales de 1996, un humedal emergente fluvial estacional y un campo antiguo tardío, fueron alterados por acción fluvial y procesos de sucesión secundaria para 2012. Una lista anotada consta de 330 especies en 220 géneros de 82 familias. Los taxones se componen de un monilophyta, cuatro magnoliids, 76 monocotiledóneas. y 249 eudicots. Noventa y tres taxones (28,2%) son especies adventistas o naturalizadas no autóctonas. Cuarenta y ocho taxones (54%) están clasificados como plantas invasoras de Kentucky. Un total de 189 especies (57,3%) son hidrófitas. Noventa y cinco taxones nativos o no nativos (28,8%) son registros de distribución del condado de Lewis.
