Coefficient of Conservatism Rankings for the Flora of Georgia: Wetland Indicator Species

Southeastern Naturalist, 2013
Abstract Wetland habitats currently cover about one-fifth of Georgia and have been reduced in acreage by as much as twenty-five percent over the past two centuries due to anthropogenic activities. Accurate identification and careful study of these areas are crucial for their preservation and for compliance with federal and stat e environmental ...

Developing coefficients of conservatism to advance floristic quality assessment in the Mid-Atlantic region¹

The Journal of the Torrey Botanical Society, 2012
Abstract Floristic Quality Assessment (FQA) is a recognized bioassessment technique for evaluating habitat nativity or resource condition (status) using conservatism of the plant community. The Mid-Atlantic Floristic Quality Assessment Project (MAR-FQA) was undertaken in 2009 to advance floristic quality assessment in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Coefficients of Conservatism for the Vascular Flora of New York and New England: Inter-State Comparisons and Expert Opinion Bias

Northeastern Naturalist, 2012
Abstract The floristic quality index is a widely used method for ecological condition assessments in the United States. The foundation of the index is the conservatism concept, which estimates a species' ecological sensitivity or propensity to occur in areas least altered by humans.

Vegetation restoration for open sandy habitats in the Ottawa Valley, Ontario, Canada, using richness, rarity, coefficients of conservatism, the floristic quality index and a case study from the Pinhey Sand Dune

Biodiversity, 2014
A vegetation restoration procedure was developed for open sandy habitats in the Ottawa Valley of Ontario. It was designed to restore a pre-determined plant association and consisted of six steps: (1) determine the restoration objective and role of vegetation; (2) determine the potential natural vegetation of the restoration site based on survey of ...
