<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Locations of rare and exemplary natural community and ecosystem types within organized towns in Maine as mapped by the Maine Natural Areas Program (MNAP), Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.

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.

SRANK
Subnational Conservation Rank - The conservation status of a species from the subnational jurisdiction perspective, characterizing the relative rarity or imperilment of the species. Together these values provide national distribution data.
NatureServe - Heritage methodology; SRanks are set by Maine Natural Areas Program
NatureServe Subnational Conservation Status
https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/DataTypes/ConservationStatusCategories>
S1
Critically Imperiled - At very high risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to very restricted range, very few populations or occurrences, very steep declines, severe threats, or other factors.
https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/DataTypes/ConservationStatusCategories
S2
Imperiled— At high risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to restricted range, few populations or occurrences, steep declines, severe threats, or other factors.
https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/DataTypes/ConservationStatusCategories
S3
Vulnerable— At moderate risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to a fairly restricted range, relatively few populations or occurrences, recent and widespread declines, threats, or other factors.
https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/DataTypes/ConservationStatusCategories
S4
Apparently Secure— At a fairly low risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to an extensive range and/or many populations or occurrences, but with possible cause for some concern as a result of local recent declines, threats, or other factors.
https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/DataTypes/ConservationStatusCategories
S5
Secure— At very low or no risk of extirpation in the jurisdiction due to a very extensive range, abundant populations or occurrences, with little to no concern from declines or threats.
https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/DataTypes/ConservationStatusCategories
S#S#
Range Rank —A numeric range rank (e.g., S2S3 or S1S3) is used to indicate any range of uncertainty about the status of the species or ecosystem. Ranges cannot skip more than two ranks (e.g., SU is used rather than S1S4).
https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/DataTypes/ConservationStatusCategories
SNR
Unranked—National or subnational conservation status not yet assessed.
https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/DataTypes/ConservationStatusCategories
SNA
Not Applicable —A conservation status rank is not applicable because the species or ecosystem is not a suitable target for conservation activities (e.g., long distance aerial and aquatic migrants, hybrids without conservation value, and non-native species or ecosystems).
https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/DataTypes/ConservationStatusCategories
S#?
Inexact Numeric Rank—Denotes inexact numeric rank; this should not be used with any of the Variant National or Subnational Conservation Status Ranks, or NX, SX, NH, or SH.
https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/DataTypes/ConservationStatusCategories
SX
Presumed Extirpated—Species or ecosystem is believed to be extirpated from the jurisdiction (i.e., nation, or state/province). Not located despite intensive searches of historical sites and other appropriate habitat, and virtually no likelihood that it will be rediscovered. [equivalent to “Regionally Extinct” in IUCN Red List terminology]
https://explorer.natureserve.org/AboutTheData/DataTypes/ConservationStatusCategories
SH
Possibly Extirpated – Known from only historical records but still some hope of rediscovery. There is evidence that the species or ecosystem may no longer be present in the jurisdiction, but not enough to state this with certainty. Examples of such evidence include (1) that a species has not been documented in approximately 20-40 years in human-dominated landscapes despite some searching and/or some evidence of significant habitat loss or degradation; (2) that a species or ecosystem has been searched for unsuccessfully, but not thoroughly enough to presume that it is no longer present in the jurisdiction.
