RANKS

G2 = Imperiled globally because of rarity (6 to 20 occurrences or few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.

RFSS LIKELY TO OCCUR GIVEN HABITAT AND RANGE POTENTIAL

G1 = Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity (five or fewer occurrences or very few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extinction.

S2 = Imperiled in Wisconsin because of rarity (6 to 20 occurrences or few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it very vulnerable to extirpation from the state.

S3 = Rare or uncommon in Wisconsin (21 to 100 occurrences).

G3 = Either very rare and local throughout its range or found locally (even abundantly at some of its locations) in a restricted range (e.g., a single state or physiographic region) or because of other factors making it vulnerable to extinction throughout its range; In the range of 21 to 100 occurances.

G4 = Apparently globally secure, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery.

G5 = Demonstrably secure globally, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery.

GNR = Not ranked. Replaced G? rank and some GU ranks.

GU = Possibly in peril range-wide, but their status is uncertain. More information is needed.

S4 = Apparently secure in Wisconsin, with many occurrences.

S5 = Demonstrably secure in Wisconsin and essentially ineradicable under present conditions.

SNR = Not ranked.

SU = Possibly in peril in the state, but their status is uncertain. More information is needed.

Species with a questionable taxonomic assignment are given a "Q" after the global rank.

Subspecies and varieties are given subranks composed of the letter "T" plus a number or letter. The definition of the second character of the subrank parallels that of the full global rank.

S1 = Critically imperiled in Wisconsin because of extreme rarity (five or fewer occurrences or very few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extirpation from the state.

Potential Habitat Present (Check):

District:

High; Over 60% of understory herbaceous plants, shrubs, or tree seedling/saplings with indications of browse. High browse intensity also begins to show on unlikely target species such as balsam, hazel, etc.

Low; Under 30% of understory herbaceous plants, shrubs, or tree seedling/saplings with indications of browse. Often either very sporadic or only targets most susceptable plants such as hemlock, cedar, canada yew, orchids, etc.

Medium; 30-60% of understory herbaceous plants, shrubs, or tree seedling/saplings with indications of browse.

Usually confined to usual target species such as sugar maple, hemlock, white pine, liliaceae species, Osmorhiza, etc.

Leaf litter from previous fall and small fragented leaves under intact leaf litter. Oe-a layers present in some of stand but missing or damaged in others. Mineral soil and earthworm castings present (<50% of forest floor is mineral soil).

None; No indication of understory herbaceous plants, shrubs, or tree seedling/sapling browse

Describe your survey effort:

Clones

% Sterile Adults % Seedlings/Juveniles% in Fruit % in Flower/Bud

Exhaustive (e.g., After finding the rare plant you searched surrounding area well and are confident you found the full extent of the population.)

Thorough but not exhaustive (e.g., After finding the rare plant you briefly searched the immediate area but did not try to count every plant) Incidental (e.g., you noticed the plants in passing, did not realize what you find until after you left the site or otherwise made no attempt todetermine the size of the population.

Describe the size of the area surveyed (e.g., "We searched two 40mx40m prairie openings, but not the adjacent woodland." or "We searched approximately 10m around the GPS point."):

The last 3 digits in the site ID are a unique serial number according to your observance of infestations on that district for that year; starting at 001, 002… up to 999. This should be a unique number per district per year, and can start over again the next year.

Example) 09130304155:09=Region, 13=Forest, 03=Eagle River/Florence, 04= 2004, 155= the 155th infestation sighting or record for that district in that year.
