The Coefficients of Conservatism - Bowman`s Hill Wildflower Preserve

The Coefficients of Conservatism (CC) are the foundation of the Plant Stewardship Index (PSI). CC values were
assigned based on the following scale:
0 to 3
Plants with a high range of ecological tolerances/found in a variety of plant communities
4 to 6
Plants with an intermediate range of ecological tolerances/associated with a specific plant community
7 to 8
Plants with a poor range of ecological tolerances/associated with advanced successional state
9 to 10
Plants with a high degree of fidelity to a narrow range of habitats
These calculations can be used to answer a variety of questions about your site. The two most common
questions asked are: "What is 'naturalness' of the site?" and "Are my land management practices effecting the
health of the site?" The FQAI, which uses only native plants in the calculation, will assist in determining the
naturalness of your site. The PSI, which includes nonnatives in computing [somtimes referred to as "adventives"]
can be used to track the effects of land management practices.
1)
Compile a plant list of the species within the assessment area.
2)
Assign the Coefficient of Conservatism (CC) to each plant documented on the plant list.
3)
Calculate the Native Mean Coefficient value by totaling the CC’s and divide the sum by the number of native plant species within the
assessed area.
4)
OR Calculate the Total Mean Coefficient value by totaling the CC’s and divide by the sum of the total number of plants (native and
introduced) within the assessed area.
5)
Multiply the Native Mean Coefficient OR the Total Mean Coefficient by the square root of the total of the number of native plant species
FQI = Native Mean C x Sqrt N

Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve is extremely grateful to the following persons for contributing their time and expertise so generously in assigning the Coefficients of
Conservatism, producing the checklist of species in the database, and other expert assistance. Pennsylvania: Janet Ebert, Jack Holt and Anne Rhoads New Jersey: Linda Allen,
Karl Anderson, Emile De Vito, TIm Halliwell, Mary Leck, Bill Olsen, BIll Rawlyk and Kathleen Strokosh Walz, and of course for the invaluable guidance and experienced advice of
Dr. Gerould Wilhelm and Leslie Sauer-Jones.
