OHIO PLANTS SPECIES LISTS
with
CC VALUES (coefficients of conservatism)
and the
OHIO FLORISTIC QUALITY
ASSESSMENT INDEX
Coefficients of conservatism (CC) assigned to each species by Andreas et al. (2002). The CC, with values ranging from 0 to 10, is an estimate of the degree to which a species is associated with high-quality natural communities similar to those which existed in pre-settlement times. Exotic (alien, introduced) species are not assigned CC values.
