occurring in both <br /> wetlands and <br /> nonwetlands. <br /> �acultative Upland Plants FACUP Plants that sometimes occur <br /> in�vetlands(I%-339b), bu[ <br /> occur more often(67°/a-99%) <br /> in nonwetlands. <br /> Obligate Uplands Plants UPL Plants that rarely occur <br /> (<I%)in wetlands, but occur <br /> almost always(>99%) in <br /> nonwedands. <br /> Each ofthese categories can be modified by the przsence oF(-F)positive and(-)negative <br /> values,with the positive(+)value indicating a greater probxbility of weUand occurrence. <br /> Two lists prepazed by an interagency panel,the northwestetn rcgional list(Reed 198&b), <br /> as iPs supplement list(Reed 1993),were referenced to determine the indicator plant <br /> status of species encountered in field observaiions. <br /> Three strata of vegetation,the forested,the shrub,and the herUaceous strata aze <br /> identified and utilizcd for the vegetation sampling of a wctland. Each strata is sampled by <br /> different sized plots(to reFlect the scale of Ilora)chartcd below: <br /> Strata Characterisiics Sampling Protocol <br /> Gmergent herbaceous 1 meter radius plots <br /> Shrub woody<20'height 10'radius plots <br /> Forestcd woody>20' in height 30'radius plols <br /> Sampling <br /> Sampling of ti�e wedand sirata present was perfermed in a perimeter sampling of thc <br /> weiland,with two paired plots situated along either side of the estimared wetland cdgc. <br /> The prevalence of species(or%Covcr)within each strata was recorded in the Routinc <br /> WeUrmd Determination DATA Form 1 (Dept. of Ccology 1997)alo��g wiUi their <br /> indicalor plant category as well. 1'he dnminant specics of each straln was dcternincd <br /> utilizing t6e 50/20 rule(Ecology 1997). <br /> .i <br />
