Greenacres: Resources for Re-Seeding
Ohio Resources
Andreas, B.K. and R.W. Lichvar. August 1995. Floristic Index for Establishing Assessment Standards: A Case Study for Northern Ohio. Wetlands Research Program Technical Report WRP-DE-8. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, MS.
The authors compiled a floristic checklist for 31 counties in northern Ohio and assigned rankings of 1 to 10 to native taxa based on their degree of fidelity to a range of synecological parameters. The floristic index for 2,063 plant species provides a tool to assess the quality of naturalness or presence of conservative species, allows for an objective numerical comparison of two or more unrelated community types, and reflects numerically the impact of human disturbance by taking into account the presence of alien taxa.
