END---endangerecL THR=r. hreatened. $1:'C=special concern, NON= no legal stems, but raze and may becorr~ listed if deciines
<br /> continue. This field is blank for herin'al communities and colonial waterbird nesting sites, which have no [ega. t status in
<br /> Minnesota, but are tracked by the database.
<br />
<br /> NC Rank.: [Natural Community, Rank].
<br /> 'O-
<br /> Oc.c ~: [Occurrence ',"/umb~rl. The occtLrrence number, in combination with the element name, uniquely identifies each
<br /> record.
<br /> OCCURRENC~ NUMBER: ,.gee "Occ ~'
<br /> ~ OF OCCURS: The number of records ~xistenr in the database for each element within r. he area searched.
<br /> .Owne.~. hip Indicates whether the site is publicly or privamty owned; for pubticly owned land, Ole agency with management
<br /> responsibility is listed.
<br />
<br /> Precision: Precision of locadonal information of occurrence: C (confirmed) = known within 114 rllile radius, U (imcon£~rmed)
<br /> = known within l/2 mile, N (non-specific) = known within I mile, G (general) = occurs within the general region, X
<br /> (unmappable)=tocadon is unmappable on USGS topographic quadrangles (often known only to the nearest count'y), 0
<br /> (obscure/gone)=element no longer exists at the location.

<br />
<br /> .Rec {: [Record number].
<br /> RNG or Rna: [Range number].
<br />
<br />Sac'rroN or Section: [Section num~r(s)l. Some records are given only to the nearest section (s), but most are given to the
<br />nearest quarter-section or quar~er-quar'~er-secdon (e.g., SWNW32 dehorns the SW1/4 of the NWl/4 of section .32), A "0" is
<br />used ax a place holder when a halle'-section is specified (e.g., 0N03 refers to r. he north I/2 of secdon 3). When a occurrence
<br />crosses section boundaries, both sections are listed, without punctuation (e.g., the NEI/4 of section I9 and NWl/,* of'section
<br />20 is displayed as NEIgNw_0 ).
<br />Site: A name w~ich refers to the geographic ama within wt:dch the occurrence ties. If no nme For the area exists (a locally
<br />used name, for example), one is assigned by the County, Biological Survey or the Namr',.d Heritage Program.
<br />Source: The collector or observer of the rare feature occurrence.
<br />S RANK: [State Rank]. A rank assigned to the natural eommuniw type which reflects the known extent and condition of that
<br />eoramunity in Minnesota. Ranks range from i (in greatest need of conservation action in the state) to 5 (secure under present
<br />con~tidons). A "?" e'ollowing a rank indicates litde information is available ro rank the ¢ommtmiry. Communities for which
<br />information is especially scarce are given a "U", for 'rnnle undetermined". The ranks do not represent a legal stares. They are
<br />used by the Minnesota Dep~'trnent of Natural Resources to set priorities for research, inventory and conservation planning.
<br />The state ranks are updated as inventory informad, on becomes available.
<br />State Status: See "MN STATUS"
<br />
<br />TWP or Tw~: [Township numberl.
<br />
<br />V'er/ficadon: A reflection of' the reliability of the in.formation on w~ch the record is based. The highest [evel of reliability is
<br />"verified," which usually indicates a collection was made or, in the case of bird records, nesting was observed. Plant records
<br />based on collections made before 1970 are unverified.
<br />Voucher: The museum or herbarium where specimens are maintained, and the accession number assigned by the repositorZ
<br />In the case of bald eagles, this is the breeding area number. '
<br />
<br />Wildlife ,~'ea: The Minnesota DNR's Section of Wildlife adminisa'ative number.
