FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR MICHIGAN
I. FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT
INTRODUCTION
Large areas of Michigan have been modified extensively from their presettlement condition
(Chapman 1984, Crispin and Rankin 1994, Comer and Albert 1993, Comer et al. 1993b, 1994).
Primary effects on the landscape have been due to extensive logging and farming. More recently,
residential, urban, industrial, and recreational development have markedly altered the Michigan
landscape. Hydrology, fire, and other important abiotic processes have been disrupted or altered.
According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (1988), over 70 percent of Michigan’s
original wetlands have been drained or filled, while many remaining wetlands are no longer
representative of original landscape types (Comer et al. 1993b).
As a consequence, much of Michigan’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often
isolated tracts of landscape across the state. With intensive pressure on Michigan’s remaining natural
lands, particularly in southern Lower Michigan, there is a need for a consistent and practical method
for identifying and recognizing the potential significance of remnant areas for the long-term survival
of Michigan’s native biodiversity. Presented here is a simple, consistent, and repeatable method for
evaluating the relative significance of tracts of land in terms of their native floristic composition.
Floristic Quality Assessment (FQA) is a tool to assist environmental consultants, scientists, natural
resource managers, land stewards, environmental decision-makers, and restorationists in assessing
the floristic, and implicitly, natural significance of any given area throughout Michigan. Floristic
Quality Assessment will not replace criteria or methodology already employed by various resource
agencies. This assessment system is not intended for use as a stand-alone method, but it can be
applied to complement and corroborate other methods of evaluating the natural quality of a site.
Applications of this system include the identification of remnant habitats of native floristic
significance, comparisons between different sites, long-term monitoring of floristic quality,
monitoring the progress of habitat restoration, and the use of National Wetland Categories to assist in
the identification of wetlands. FQA can also be used to help make permitting decisions and to
develop performance standards and mitigation criteria (Wilhelm 1991, 1992, and 1993, Andreas and
Lichvar 1995, Herman 1994).
METHODOLOGY
The Floristic Quality Assessment system for Michigan is modeled after that developed for the
Chicago Region described in Swink and Wilhelm (1994). To develop the FQA for Michigan it was
essential to compile a thorough list of the vascular plants known to occur in the state (Penskar et al.
2001, Appendix C). The Michigan Plant Database in Appendix C comprises 1,815 native taxa and
914 non-native (adventive) taxa, for a total of 2,729 taxa (Figure 1). This list is not to be regarded as
a definitive flora, but as a utility database, only to be used as a reference for applications of the FQA
for Michigan. The revisions to the database include: the addition of 11 native and 38 non-native
taxa, changes in nomenclature (i.e., synonyms such as Scirpus to Schoenoplectus), the addition of
life history (annual, biennial, perennial) to the physiognomic categories, and an update of the status
category (endangered, threatened, special concern or extirpated) to match the March 1999 Michigan
Special Plants List.

FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR MICHIGAN
Life history categories largely follow Wilhelm and Masters (1995) and Taft et al (1997). Gray’s
manual of botany (Fernald, 1950) and the online USDA Plant Database (see Section IV – Resources)
were also consulted. Nomenclature largely follows Michigan Flora (Voss 1996, 1985, 1972). Other
references consulted include Case (1987) for all Michigan orchids, Case and Case (1997) for
trillium, Gleason and Cronquist (1991) for selected genera, and Barnes and Wagner (1981) for
several woody plant taxa. For pteridophytes (ferns and fern allies), we followed the treatments
provided in the Flora of North America, Volume 2 (Morin et al. 1993).
Coefficients of Conservatism
NUMBER OF TAXA
The concept of species conservatism is the foundation for floristic quality assessment. Each native
Michigan species was assigned a coefficient of conservatism (C)1 following the methodology and
philosophy detailed in Swink and Wilhelm (1994) and Wilhelm and Masters (1995). Coefficients of
conservatism range from 0 - 10 and represent an estimated probability that a plant is likely to occur
in a landscape relatively unaltered from what is believed to be pre-European settlement condition
(Figure 1). A C of 0, therefore, is given to plants such as Acer negundo (box elder) that have
demonstrated little fidelity to any remnant natural community, i.e. may be found almost anywhere,
while a C of 10 is applied to those plants like Potentilla fruticosa (shrubby cinquefoil) that are
almost always restricted to a presettlement remnant, i.e. a high quality natural area. Intermediate
values are assigned to taxa such as Quercus bicolor (swamp white oak) or Trillium grandiflorum
(large white trillium), when it is certain it is faithful to remnant natural communities, but it is
uncertain that the condition of the community from which it comes is still representative of
presettlement condition, i.e. the community may be degraded.

COEFFICIENT OF CONSERVATISM

In Michigan, certain species are known to exhibit varying degrees of conservatism over their
statewide range, and thus the C assigned reflects what would be expected most commonly

Coefficients of conservatism were assigned by Anton Reznicek, Michael Penskar, and William Brodovich with assistance from Gerould Wilhelm.
Adventive taxa are plants spreading into Michigan from a source outside of Michigan since pre European settlement.

throughout the state.4 For example, Thuja occidentalis (northern white cedar) in southern Michigan
is highly restricted to relatively few habitats and would justify a C of 8 or 9. Northward, however,
this species inhabits a much broader range of natural communities and disturbed sites and would
justify a C of 1 or 2; in this case, the assigned C is 4. While a number of species are widely
distributed within the state, a small percentage exhibits a bimodal range of conservatism. Such
species however, will have little influence on the measured floristic quality of any given site. Note
the normal distribution of the coefficients of conservatism from 0 - 9 (Figure 1). By including those
taxa with C = 10 with the distribution of coefficients of conservatism, the overall distribution
becomes left skewed (Figure 1), similar to that for Illinois (Taft 1997).
The fidelity or faithfulness concept is not new. Phytosociologists have long used this as a practical
application of empirical observation (Braun-Blanquet 1932). It is theoretically possible to measure
empirically the fidelity of each of the approximately 1815 native plant taxa in Michigan (Figure 1) to
given natural communities. We recognized it is not possible to take such measurements in the near
future and that coefficients of conservatism have been effectively applied to different geographic
regions without such measurements (Coastal Plain – Allain, pers. comm.; Northeast Ohio - Andreas
and Lichvar 1995; Ohio – Andreas et al. in prep.; Wisconsin – Bernthal, pers. comm.; Iowa –
Drobney pers. comm.; Missouri - Ladd 1997; Southern Ontario – Oldham et al. 1995; Chicago
Region - Swink and Wilhelm 1979, 1994; Kentucky – Shea et al. in prep.; Illinois - Taft et al. 1997;
Northern Great Plains – Northern Great Plains Working Group 2001). Therefore, we placed the
"subjectivity up front" in assigning a priori a coefficient of conservatism to each native species in
Michigan. As stated in Swink and Wilhelm (1994) we cannot know the presettlement vegetational
composition or structure for any given site, nor can we know how it would have changed over time
in the absence of European settlement. Therefore, we have employed as benchmarks our collective
knowledge and understanding of species fidelity to the remaining high quality natural communities
and otherwise disturbed lands in Michigan.
Floristic Quality Index
Floristic Quality Assessment is applied by calculating a mean coefficient of conservatism ( C ) and
a floristic quality index (FQI) from a comprehensive list of plant species obtained from a particular
site. This is done by summing the coefficients of conservatism (C) of an inventory of plants and
dividing by the total number of plant taxa (n), yielding an average or the mean coefficient of
conservatism ( C = ∑ C /n). The C is then multiplied by the square root of the total number of plants
( n ) to yield the floristic quality index (FQI = C n ). The square root of n is used as a multiplier
to transform the mean coefficient of conservatism and allow for better comparison of the FQI
between large sites with a high number of species and small sites with fewer species. Sites with the
same C may have different FQIs, and sites with the same FQI may have different C s (Figures 2 and
3) (Goforth et al. 2001, Taft et al. 1997). For further discussion of this variation, refer to Taft et al.
(1997) and Wilhelm and Masters (1995) in Appendix F. Some have found the C may be a more
predictable indicator of floristic quality when comparing among similar natural communities such as
remnant hardwood forests in Ontario (Frances et al. 2000) and river floodplains in Michigan,
although this may be due to small sample sizes and narrow dispersion of C values (Goforth et al.
2001).

The Michigan FQA differs from the Chicago Region application in that coefficients of conservatism were developed for a considerably larger
geographic area and over a greater north to south gradient.

( C ) (Taft et al. 1997).

FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR MICHIGAN
Based upon recent tests of the FQA system in Michigan in a wide variety of habitats, certain patterns
have emerged. The range of coefficients of conservatism (C) of the plant taxa found in most of our
undeveloped lands is 0 - 2, whereas 85% of the total native flora has a C of 4 or greater (Figure 1).
The entire native flora has a C of 6.5. This indicates the principal elements of our native systems
are poorly represented in the landscape today. Most of the remaining undeveloped land registers
floristic quality indices (FQI) of less than 20 and has minimal significance from a natural quality
perspective. Areas with a FQI higher than 35 possess sufficient conservatism and richness that they
are floristically important from a statewide perspective. Areas registering in the 50s and higher are
extremely rare and represent a significant component of Michigan’s native biodiversity and natural
landscapes.
Coefficients of Wetness
Analogs to the coefficients of conservatism are derived from the five main National Wetland
Indicator Categories given by Reed (1988) and are referred to as coefficients of wetness (W)
(Wilhelm 1992 - Appendix G). Michigan taxa not treated by Reed (1399 taxa) were assigned
wetland indicator categories de novo.5 The National Wetland Indicator Categories define the
estimated probability for which a species occurs in wetlands (Table 1) (Reed 1988, Wilhelm 1989,
1992). Positive signs (+) indicating a wet tendency and negative signs (-) indicating a dry tendency
are attached to the three "facultative" categories to express these exaggerated tendencies for those
species (Reed 1988). Coefficients of wetness (W) have been assigned by Wilhelm (1989, 1992) to
the eleven wetland indicator categories:
OBL = -5, FACW+ = -4, FACW = -3, FACW- = -2, FAC+ = -1, FAC = 0, FAC- = 1,
FACU+ = 2, FACU = 3, FACU- = 4, UPL = 5.

assigned by Anton Reznicek and Michael Penskar.

FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR MICHIGAN
Wetness Index
Coefficients of wetness (W) of taxa recorded from a site inventory (n) can be averaged and the mean
regarded as a wetness index ( W = ∑ W /n). If the wetness index ( W ) is zero or below, then the site
has a predominance of wetland species (Wilhelm 1989). The W does not consider dominance as
measured by percent cover of any species. Wilhelm (1989, 1991, 1992, 1993) hypothesizes that a
wetness index calculated using only native species is a stronger indication of wetland status than a
wetness index that includes adventive species. This is demonstrated by comparing the distribution of
wetland status between native and adventive taxa. The 1815 native Michigan taxa show sensitivity to
soil moisture ranging from wet to dry conditions as indicated by their inverse normal distribution
(Figure 4). The 914 adventive plant taxa show a skewed distribution, with substantially more taxa in
the upland categories (617) relative to all wetland categories combined (297) (Figure 5). Consult the
Computer Program Application Section that follows and Appendix G for a more detailed explanation
of this hypothesis and the application of the wetness index.

Physiognomy
The computer applications for FQA and the associated plant data bases traditionally include the
physiognomic classes, since it is possible for community structure to change overtime without
correlative changes in the FQI or C (Taft et al. 1997). The distribution of plant taxa by
physiognomic classes show most plants in Michigan are native, perennial, dicot forbs (811),
followed by adventive, perennial, dicot forbs (323) and adventive, annual, dicot forbs (291) (Figure
6). Native sedges and grasses comprise 23% of Michigan’s native taxa and predominate in numbers
over the adventive sedges and grasses (Figure 6). Life history categories are useful for protecting
annual and biennial plants from over collection and potential local extirpation.

APPLICATION
Usefulness in deriving information from selected indicator species has long been valued by plant
ecologists for community classification along environmental gradients (Magurran 1988, Whittaker
1975). Floristic Quality Assessment goes further in recognizing that all plant species at a location
convey information about a site due to their adaptation to a unique set of biotic and abiotic
conditions. As applied by the FQA system, plant taxa, when assessed in the aggregate, can give
more information than an individual indicator taxon or even a group of indicators, often used for
classification purposes.
Plant lists are often compiled during environmental site assessments and provided as appendices in
environmental documents with little or no analysis beyond determining their wetland affinities or
their legal status under federal and state endangered species acts. Often the ecological importance of
species richness is not emphasized or recognized. Thus, FQA helps to give meaning to a group of
7
FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR MICHIGAN
plant species, beyond their presence on a list, by providing the mean coefficient of conservatism ( C )
and the floristic quality index (FQI), which anyone can utilize and interpret.
The application of FQA is dependent on the aggregate presence of species in any area. With
consistent application of the FQA system, the information derived from the C of the entire
constellation of species within a site gives the system its robustness. Therefore, it is important the
site surveyor be diligent and consistent in writing down ALL plant taxa observed at a site and to
sufficiently cover the site’s territory during standardly accepted times of the growing season.
Essential to the successful use and application of the FQA system is the participation of botanists
with a good knowledge of the Michigan flora and experience in conducting field inventories.
There are several applications of FQA. The following four are discussed in Swink and Wilhelm
(1994) and by Wilhelm and Masters (1995 - Appendix F): (1) the identification of remnant native
habitats of floristic significance, (2) the comparison of floristic quality among different sites, (3)
long-term monitoring of floristic quality in natural areas, and (4) monitoring of habitat restoration.
Use of the wetland categories as an aid in the identification of wetlands is discussed below and in
Appendix G.
Floristic Quality Assessment can also be used to assist in making permitting decisions and
developing performance standards and mitigation criteria (Andreas and Lichvar 1995, DuPage
County Stormwater Management Committee 1992, Herman 1994, Swink and Wilhelm 1994,
Wilhelm 1991, 1992, 1993, Wilhelm and Masters 1995 - Appendix F). The floristic quality index
derived from an inventory provides information regarding a site’s natural quality potential, which
can also be used in certain sampling protocols. The FQI of individual quadrats established along a
transect may be used to establish baseline data serving as a benchmark for future monitoring of
changes in floristic quality during site restoration or site rehabilitation efforts. If one is comparing
floristic quality data among similar communities, i.e. fen to fen, or bog to bog, data must be obtained
using a standard ecological sampling design for comparison between sites. Details of survey methods
and effort should accompany any reporting of inventory or sampling results derived from applying
the FQA because indiscriminate comparisons of floristic quality with dissimilar methods used in
evaluation can be misleading (Taft et al. 1997).
In addition, as discussed in the following by Taft et al. 1997, the assessment of ecosystem integrity
based on a single index will be insufficient to account for all relevant aspects. For example, the FQI
or C when reported alone can be misleading (Figure 2). Species richness (number of species) by
itself can also be an insensitive indicator of habitat quality since it is possible for a degraded site to
support a similar or greater number of taxa than an intact, high quality site. Six measures of
biological integrity for wetlands have been suggested by Keddy et al. 1993. These include species
diversity, indicator guilds, exotic species, rare species, plant biomass and amphibian biomass. Keddy
et al. (1993) views diversity as an essential indicator of integrity, but also recommends assessing
guild diversity. FQA readily addresses the first four recommended measures, provides a wetness
index and can be applied to wetland and upland vegetation. Moreover, it can be expanded to include
other community traits or other particular interests (Taft et al. 1997) (see summary tables in
Appendices A and B). The transect computer application as shown in Appendix B also allows for
the calculation of relative frequency, relative dominance, and importance values.
Two examples from Michigan, not detailed in Appendices B and F, are presented here. The first
example discusses uses of the FQA in helping to make resource-permitting decisions and to establish
8
FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR MICHIGAN
performance standards and mitigation criteria. The second example discusses the use of the wetness
index ( W ) in the identification of problematic wetlands and their boundaries.
Permitting, Performance Standards, and Mitigation Criteria
Michigan has a variety of resource protection laws where the application of FQA can be useful.
These include Parts 365 (Endangered Species Protection), 303 (Wetland Protection), 301 (Inland
Lakes and Streams) and 353 (Sand Dunes Protection and Management) of Public Act 451 of 1994
(as amended). The following is an example excerpted from Herman (1994) where the FQA system
was used as a performance standard and for establishing mitigation criteria in an endangered species
permit for the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport expansion.
In 1989, expansion of the Detroit Metro Airport was expected to result in the on-site loss of three
plant species listed as threatened under the M-ESA. The three species were Aristida longispica
(slender three-awned grass), Juncus brachycarpus (short fruited rush), and Ludwigia alternifolia
(seed box). The three species were found within remnant lakeplain wet-mesic prairies and mesic
sand prairies. The statutory requirements of Part 365 (Endangered Species Protection) of P.A. 451 of
1994 were enhanced by making compliance with this act a condition of the state wetland permit.
The provisions of the endangered species permit allowed the translocation of affected plants and
seed bank to an off-site location, which had been excavated and graded to match the land contours
and hydrology of the airport site. Unaffected areas on the airport were required to be protected and
monitored as a baseline to compare the success of the translocated plants. Hydrology, soil moisture,
and vegetation are being monitored for ten years.
The criteria for success, required by the permit, states that at the off-site mitigation location,
populations of threatened plants must be at least as large and viable as populations eliminated by the
airport expansion. In addition, the mitigation area is required to be free of aggressive weeds such as
Lythrum salicaria (purple loosestrife), the species diversity index should be stable or show an
increase in native species diversity throughout the monitoring period, and it should show a stable or
increasing floristic quality index and mean coefficient of conservatism. As a contingency measure,
the permit requires that if the mitigation fails, then a similar but larger and intact lakeplain prairie in
Wayne or Monroe counties must be purchased and managed.
DuPage County, Illinois in implementing its stormwater and flood plain ordinance uses a C = 3.5 as
a criteria for identifying “critical” wetlands and requires mitigation for the loss of these wetlands in
the form of 3:1 acre wetland replacement (DuPage County Stormwater Management Committee,
1992). Administrative rules to the Illinois Wetland Policy Act of 1989 (20 ILCS 830, 17 Ill. Adm.
Code 1090) also requires a 5.5:1 replacement ratio for mitigating loss of wetlands with a native
floristic quality greater than 20 (FQI ≥ 20) or a mean coefficient of conservatism greater than or
equal to 4 ( C ≥ 4.0). Wilhelm (1991, 1992, 1993) suggests, based on monitoring data obtained from
Chicago region restoration sites, that areas with known high floristic quality (FQI ≥ 35) cannot be
routinely restored to their original floristic quality and therefore are unmitigable. Conversely, lower
quality wetlands registering FQI in the teens and twenties may be mitigable.

FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR MICHIGAN
Identification of Problematic Wetlands
Some Michigan natural communities that may be classified as wetlands are considered problematic
because they can be difficult to distinguish from adjacent uplands (MacKinnon 1994). These natural
communities are exemplified by some wooded dune and swale complexes, wet and wet-mesic
prairies, including lakeplain prairies, coastal plain marshes, and alvars (MNFI 1990). These
problematic communities, with the exception of alvars, all overlay coarse, well drained soils and
often support a mix of wetland and upland species, especially at the upland-wetland boundaries
(MacKinnon 1994). These communities often are not recognized as wetlands because of the upland
vegetation component, sandy soils, and either small size or non-contiguousness to an inland lake or
stream. Thus they are vulnerable to development largely because it is mistakenly assumed that
wetland permits are not needed (MacKinnon 1994)6.
Comer and Albert (1993) compared elevations along transects with the wetland indices ( W ) for
species from corresponding ridges and swales in Michigan to help clarify the relationship between
landforms and vegetation within wooded dune and swale complexes in Michigan and to help
determine their wetland status under the Goemare-Anderson Wetlands Act. At Sturgeon Bay
(Emmet County), high wind-sorted dune ridges support upland vegetation clearly distinguishable
from adjacent swales (Figures 4 and 5). Forested beach ridges, with soils of medium to course sand,
show wetness indices from 0 - 3 indicating a proportionally higher number of plants in upland
categories. Soil moisture conditions can change dramatically, with slight elevational changes
reflected in the development of soil organic material and plant species. On lower ridges, moisture
may be noticeably higher and soil organic material accumulation is greater (4-25 cm) with W below
0 indicating a higher proportion of plants in wetland categories.
MacKinnon (1994) points out that most swales in wooded dune and swale complexes are protected
by the Michigan wetlands act because they are contiguous to the Great Lakes or a nearby surface
water. However, it is often less clear for wetlands found in the glacial lakeplain counties of
Michigan where topographic relief is measured in only a few feet. The FQA methodology combined
with the use of wetness indices may become extremely useful in helping not only to determine a
wetland boundary based on the presence of native wetland plants, but also to help practitioners
recognize a wetland and its floristic significance in the first place. It is precisely the remnant
lakeplain prairies on the glacial lakeplain that are rarest and most at risk of being unknowingly
destroyed (MacKinnon 1994; Comer et al. 1995).
6
Michigan’s wetlands are regulated under "Part 303, Wetlands Protection, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of
the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30301 to 324.30323 of the Michigan Compiled Laws Annotated. Permits are required for filling in,
dredging from, constructing or developing in, or draining surface waters from wetlands. Wetlands less than five acres in size, that are not
contiguous to surface waters, and all non-contiguous wetlands in counties with populations of under 100,000 are not subject to permit review
(MacKinnon 1994).

DISCUSSION
The coefficient of conservatism is applied to a plant based upon its fidelity to a presettlement
landscape, not its rarity or legal status. Although many plant species listed as endangered,
threatened, or special concern by the State of Michigan are highly conservative, C = 8, 9, or 10,
many are not, C = 4 - 7 (Figure 1). Many conservative, listed species are faithful to rare, high quality
natural communities in Michigan. Such communities include prairies, where species rarity is largely
attributable to habitat loss, and southern Michigan fens and bogs that have always been relatively
rare. Losses of rare, high quality communities can have a serious impact on native biodiversity.
Conversely, a number of rare species do not have a high fidelity to specific communities, or the
communities to which they are faithful are relatively frequent. For example, the state threatened
Beckmannia syzigachne (slough grass), C = 4, generally grows in wet places (Voss 1972), while
respectively, the state threatened Panax quinquefolius (American ginseng), C = 10, grows in rich,
mesic woods. Finally, many highly conservative species, such as Potentilla fruticosa (shrubby
cinquefoil), with a C of 10 are not rare at all throughout Michigan.
All too frequently, areas where legally protected species are absent are considered expendable under
current formal environmental evaluations. It is precisely because Floristic Quality Assessment is not
based on species rarity or legal status that makes it a useful tool for assessing the natural quality of an
area. Instead, FQA validates each plant taxa and goes beyond the simple measurement of species
richness and abundance as defined and reviewed by Magurran (1988). FQA measures the extent and
proportion to which constellations of conservative plants are present on a site (Swink and Wilhelm
1994, Wilhelm and Masters 1995 - Appendix F). Areas with a greater proportion of conservative
species will have a greater C and higher FQI, alerting us to its or any community’s floristic quality,
potentially restorable floristic quality, and implicitly natural quality.
The decision to develop and provide a FQA system for Michigan was made because we recognized
that its application could be useful in filling gaps in current natural quality assessment methods. The
assignment of coefficients of conservatism for Michigan's native plants may be regarded as
subjective, but it is based on the best estimates of botanists familiar with the flora and natural
communities of Michigan. The methodology, however, is not subjective; it is standardized and
repeatable, and requires only a skilled botanist to make an accurate and complete record of the plant
species growing in a particular site.
Twenty three percent (418 species) of Michigan's native flora are extirpated, endangered, threatened,
or listed as special concern by the State of Michigan. (Figure 1). Significant numbers of natural
communities with conservative plants and associated animals are being lost piecemeal at an
unprecedented rate throughout Michigan. We hope that the application of FQA on a statewide basis
will help diminish somewhat the current rate of habitat loss due to ignorance of habitat or floristic
quality. At a minimum, the use of the Floristic Quality Assessment system can provide decision
makers with a standard, repeatable test for assessing the potential floristic and natural quality of a
site, to be used in conjunction with other pertinent data and assessment tools prior to making
important land-use decisions.

II. APPLICATION COMPUTER PROGRAMS
Those familiar with the first edition of the Floristic Quality Assessment will notice this edition is not
accompanied by the original software application. In summer 2000, a new Windows-based program
including both inventory and transect assessments was developed by Conservation Design Forum.
This “stand-alone” software includes an up to date Michigan plant database. Copies of this program
are available for purchase from The Conservation Research Institute, 375 W. First St., Elmhurst, IL
60126, or by telephone at (630) 559-2018.
The new program facilitates the application of the Floristic Quality Assessment system for the State of
Michigan. The database consists of each species’7 acronym, scientific name, common name, nativity,
coefficient of conservatism (C) (0 = weedy, 10 = conservative, * = adventive), physiognomy, and
National Wetland Category (Reed 1988) with its corresponding coefficient of wetness (W) (-5 = OBL, 0
= FAC, 5 = UPL). Adventive species are shown in ALL CAPS. See Appendix C for a listing of the
database. There are two computer programs that use this database. The first evaluates a site inventory,
and the second evaluates a sampling or monitoring transect. See Appendices A and B for examples of
the Inventory and Transect Programs, respectively.
Both the Inventory and Transect programs access each species’ record in the database through six letter
acronyms. These acronyms are derived from the plant species’ scientific name. Using the acronym,
eliminates the need to enter the full scientific name.
Species -- The acronym of a binomial (two names) consists of the first three letters of the genus and the
first three of the specific epithet. For example, the acronym for Andropogon gerardii is ANDGER. An
exception to this rule is the genus Carex. Their acronyms consist of CX, followed by the first four
letters of the epithet, for example, Carex aggregata = CXAGGR. Most acronyms are intuitive, but in
some cases, where duplication occurs, non-intuitive acronyms are used to avoid data extraction errors.
For example, ACESAU is the acronym for Acer saccharum and ACESAI is the acronym for Acer
saccharinum. See Appendix C for a list of acronyms for all Michigan plants; see Appendix D for a list
of non-intuitive acronyms8.
Subspecies and Variety -- In the case of plants with recognized subspecies and varieties, the acronym
consists of the first three letters of the genus, the first two letters of the species, and the first letter of the
variety or subspecies. For example, the acronym for Maianthemum canadense var. interius is
MAICAI. MAICAC is the acronym for Maianthemum canadense var. canadense where the typical
variety is implied in the name. MAICAN, the intuitive acronym, in this nomenclatural context would
be ambiguous and does not extract any plant in the database. As in the case of binomials, most
trinomial acronyms are intuitive, but in some cases non-intuitive acronyms are used to avoid data
extraction error. See Appendix D for a list of non-intuitive acronyms.
7
The database also includes varieties and subspecies.
8
In the new floristic quality assessment software, choices are presented if a duplicate acronym is entered. However, we have retained acronym lists in
Appendices C and D as a useful reference.

The table in the upper left-hand corner provides an analysis of the floristic quality of the site. It shows
the number of native species and total number of all species present, the mean coefficient of
conservatism (MEAN C), the Floristic Quality Index (FQI), derived by multiplying the MEAN C by
the square root of the number of native species, and mean wetness (MEAN W). These are calculated
separately for natives and then including adventive species (W/Adventives). The tables in the upper
center and right-hand corner indicate the number of species in each physiognomic class, NATIVE
versus ADVENTIVE along with their percentage of the total inventory.

FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR MICHIGAN
APPENDIX B
EXAMPLE - TRANSECT PROGRAM
The following pages provide an example of the Transect Program output. The output has been divided
into tables for description. Table 1 is a summary of each quadrat in the transect showing quadrat
number, mean coefficient of conservatism (MC), floristic quality index (FQI), mean wetness (MW),
and number of taxa (NT) calculated separately for natives and then including the adventive species
(W/Ad). These data are averaged (AVG) for the entire transect along with the standard deviation
(STD), both values are shown below each column. The columns to the far right are sequential averages
[(x+n+y)/3] of the MW and its corresponding W/Ad columns and is useful in discerning or graphing the
hydric vegetation along the catena in straight line transects (MW SEQ = native species only). See
Figure 1.
Table 2 treats the transect as a whole. The left hand table shows the number of native species in each
coefficient of conservatism category (0 to 10), and the percentage of these species in three conservatism
classes (0 to 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 10). The table on the right summarizes the number of species, mean
coefficient of conservatism (MEAN C), floristic quality index (FQI), derived by multiplying the MEAN
C by the square root of the number of native species, and mean wetness (MEAN W) for all native
species in the transect. These are calculated separately for natives and then including adventive species
(W/Adventives).
Table 3 shows the number and percent of species for each physiognomic group. The table on the right
shows the relative importance of each physiognomic group. Relative importance (RIV) is calculated by
relativizing the frequency (FRQ) and the cover class (COV) of each group found in the transect. These
are summed, and divided by two to achieve the RIV [(RFRQ + RCOV)/2].
Table 4 is a relative importance table for individual species, calculated in the same way as the
physiognomic relative importance table. Each scientific name is followed by its coefficient of
conservatism and wetness category.
Table 5 is an inventory comprised of a list of acronyms, Latin names, and common names of all of the
species which appeared in the transect.
This is followed by Table 6, the Transect String, which is a printout of the raw data showing each
quadrat, with its species and corresponding cover number.

FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT FOR MICHIGAN
APPENDIX C
MICHIGAN PLANTS DATABASE - 2001
Compiled by:
M. R. Penskar, A. A. Reznicek, W. W. Brodovich, G. S. Wilhelm, L. A. Masters, K. D. Herman,
and K. P. Gardiner.
This state flora database was developed for use with the Floristic Quality Assessment system for the State
of Michigan for which the application is discussed in the main body of this publication. Although the list
is quite comprehensive, it represents a utility database only and should not be considered a state flora
treatment. The list was compiled by consulting several floristic and taxonomic sources, and also
represents our collective field knowledge and taxonomic judgment for numerous taxa. Because the list
was prepared in this way, it cannot be fully reconciled with treatments prepared by such floristicians as
Voss (1996, 1985, 1972), Gleason & Cronquist (1991), or others. It is anticipated that the list will be
periodically updated to incorporate information on new taxa identified for Michigan and to adopt
contemporary nomenclature where we feel it is appropriate. Questions or comments about this database
and its compilation can be directed primarily to M. R. Penskar and A. A. Reznicek.
This database is sorted alphabetically by scientific name.
KEY ACRONYM = Six digit reference code for each taxa
W = Wetness coefficient
WET = Michigan wetland categories
[ ] = Assigned for Michigan
C = Coefficient of conservatism
* = Adventive taxa [defaults to 0 (zero) in the
2000 FQA Computer Program]
ST = Status as recognized by the State of MI
