  • Natural Forest Community Delineation Methods
    Natural Forest Community Delineation Methods Keith A. Bradley and George D. Gann February 2, 2005 The Institute for Regional Conservation 22601 S.W. 152 Avenue; Miami, Florida 33170 George D. Gann, Executive Director Introduction The Natural Forest Community (NFC) system was established in 1984 under ordinance 89-9, Chapter 24-60 of the Miami-Dade County Code. The ordinance provides legal protection for sites designated by the county as NFCs: “Natural Forest Community shall mean all stands of trees (including their associated understory) which were designated as Natural Forest Communities on the Dade County Natural Forest Community Maps and approved by the Board of County Commissioners, pursuant to Resolution No. R-1764-84.” Factors for reviewing proposed Natural Forest Community sites in the original ordinance included: 1) Presence of endangered, threatened, rare, or endemic species (plants or animals); 2) Plant species diversity on the site; 3) Size of trees; 4) Size of site; 5) Wildlife habitat value; 6) Geological features; and 7) Percentage of site covered by non-native plant species. As required by the ordinance, quantitative evaluation criteria were developed by DERM incorporating the above factors, including separate criteria for the delineation of hardwood hammocks and pinelands. These criteria have become outdated as more scientifically rigorous criteria for delineating natural areas have been developed since 1984, primarily relating to delineation of wetland habitats. Some of the methods used to delineate NFCs by DERM proved to be ineffective including the establishment of transects to measure plant species cover and diversity on each site. As specified in section 151 of the ordinance, evaluation criteria may be revised occasionally.

  • Florida Scrub Is a Plant Community Easily Recognized
    Florida Scrub Including Scrubby Flatwoods and Scrubby High Pine lorida scrub is a plant community easily recognized FNAI Global Rank: G2/G3 by the dominance of evergreen shrubs and frequent FNAI State Rank: S2 Fpatches of bare, white sand. With more than two Federally Listed Species in S. FL: 32 dozen threatened and endangered species dependent upon scrub, the entire community is itself endangered. Recovery State Listed Species in S. FL: 100 of the community and its associated plants and animals will depend upon land acquisition and effective land Florida scrub. Original photograph courtesy of The management. Nature Conservancy. Synonymy Florida scrub in its various phases has been called xeric scrub, sand scrub, big scrub, sand pine scrub, oak scrub, evergreen oak scrub, dune oak scrub, evergreen scrub forest, slash pine scrub, palmetto scrub, rosemary scrub, and rosemary bald. Florida scrubs may be classified as coastal or interior. Scrubs are often named by the dominant plant species, as in rosemary scrub, sand pine scrub, palmetto scrub, or oak scrub. Some authors have confused closed-canopy forests of sand pine trees with scrub. Scrubs that are very recent in origin, usually a result of mans activities, are called pioneer scrubs. Communities intermediate between scrub and pine flatwoods have been called dry or xeric flatwoods but now are referred to as scrubby flatwoods. Communities intermediate between scrub and high pine have been called southern ridge sandhills, hickory scrub, yellow sand scrub, turkey oak scrub, turkey oak barrens, and natural turkey oak barrens, but probably are best referred to as scrubby high pine.
