| WETLAND INDICATOR STATUS CATEGORIES | |||
| INDICATOR CODE | WETLAND STATUS | ||
| OBL | Almost always occurs in wetlands (estimated probability > 99%) under natural conditions. | ||
| FACW | Usually occurs in wetlands (estimated probability > 67-99%) under natural conditions. | ||
| FAC | Equally likely to occur in wetlands (estimated probability 34-66%) and non-wetlands. | ||
| FACU | Usually occur in non-wetlands (estimated probability 67-99%), but occasionally found in wetlands (estimated probability 1-33%). | ||
| UPL | Occur almost always (estimated probability > 99%) in non-wetlands under natural conditions. | ||
| NI | No indicator; insufficient information was available to determine an indicator status. | ||
A positive sign (+) used in conjunction with an indicator code indicates the species is more likely to be found in wetlands than is indicated by the indicator code alone.
A negative sign (-) used in conjunction with an indicator code indicates the species is less frequently found in wetlands than indicated by the indicator code alone.
A question mark (?) used in conjunction with an indicator code indicates a tentative assignment of an indicator based on botanical literature only.
An asterisk (*) used in conjunction with an indicator code indicates a tentative assignment based on limited information.
A negative sign (-) used in conjunction with an indicator code indicates the species is less frequently found in wetlands than indicated by the indicator code alone.

COEFFICIENT OF CONSERVATISM
Each native plant species has been given a Coefficient of Conservatism (C value) ranging from 0-10 that rate their floristic integrity and rate their priority for conservation. When these values are collected for all of the native species in a plant community in a Floristic Quality Assessment, the resultant values are used to provide a determine the conceptual category of integrity. A floristic quality assessment is commonly used to identify natural areas, facilitate comparisons amon different plant communities, long-term monitoring of the quality of remanant natural areas, monitoring of habitat restoration.
Mean C values range from 0 (lowest quality) to 10 (highest quality).
A plant community receiving a mean C value of 2 reflects a highly degraded plant community.
A plant community receiving a mean C value of 5 reflects an area of high natural quality.
