This dataset is used for status assessment, species management, and habitat conservation of rare plant species and rare and exemplary natural communities and ecosystems within organized towns in Maine. This subset of data published by the Maine Natural Areas Program represents natural community and ecosystem records statewide for which the Maine Natural Areas Program has precise mapping information and it excludes examples of common natural community and ecosystem occurrences that are not exemplary (e.g., S4 and S5 natural community and ecosystem occurrences that are ranked C or below). Note that two large mega-ecosystems, a central hardwoods oak forest ecosystem at Mt. Agamenticus and a spruce - fir - northern hardwoods ecosystem at Mt. Desert are no longer included in this shapefile but are available as a separate shapefile. Also note that acreage (and hectares) shown in the attribute table reflect full acreage of the feature, not necessarily acreage as clipped to organized towns (aka MEGIS.MEtwp24P with definition query LUPC = 'n'). Contact MNAP for more information. |
