Economic Imp act Study of the Progress Energy, Inc., Brunswick Nuclear Power Facility on North Carolina State Planning Region 0 by Claude Farrell Professor of Economics The University of North Carolina at Wilmington and William W. Hall, Jr. Professor of Economics The University of North Carolina at Wilmington October 2004 Research Project for Progress Energy, Inc.
Economic Impact Study of the Progress Energy, Inc., Brunswick Nuclear Facility on North Carolina State Planning Region 0 Executive Summary The Progress Energy, Inc., nuclear facility located in Brunswick County near Southport, North Carolina, has significant positive impacts on the four counties of Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, and Pender that comprise State Planning Region 0 in Southeastern North Carolina. The facility has impacts on gross output or income, employment, payrolls, self-employment income, property income, indirect business taxes, and local property taxes. The facility's impact on gross output or income in the four counties of Region o was almost $901 million in 2003, 14 percent of the value of total regional output in the four-county area. The facility supported 2,030 jobs (1.3 percent of total employment) and $88.4 million in payrolls in the region in 2003, with an annual average salary per job of $43,500. These jobs include jobs at the Brunswick facility and jobs supported by companies that supply and/or are supported by the facility's operations. The impact on self-employment income was $12.4 million. The impact on property income, viz., rents, dividends and interest, was $184.7 million. Indirect business tax collections, e.g., sales and excise taxes, attributed to the operation of the facility totaled $48.4 million. County property tax revenues attributable to facility were $8.1 million (3.7 percent of total collections on real property) with an implied real property tax base of $1,274.3 million (3.7 percent of the total tax base). Quite surprising is the magnitude of the nuclear facility's economic contributions in New Hanover and Pender Counties. In New Hanover County, the 2
facility supported approximately $352 million in total output. This is a little over 70 percent of the output effects in Brunswick County of $490 million. Pender County impacts are perhaps the most surprising. The nuclear facility supported 29 percent, almost one-third, of the total value of output for the entire county. The nuclear facility is one of the regional economy's major contributors. Prior to this report, little, if any was known about the facility's economic impact inside or outside of Brunswick County. It has been an unknown and, perhaps, at times, misunderstood and unappreciated, major asset to the four-county regional economy and will continue to be in the future. Also, not to be overlooked are Progress Energy's significant public service contributions associated with the nuclear facility. 3
Economic Impact Study of the Progress Energy, Inc., Brunswick Nuclear Facility on North Carolina State Planning Region 0 Introduction In July 2004, Progress Energy, Inc., (PGN) contracted with Dr. Claude Farrell and Dr. William W. Hall, Jr., economics professors at UNC Wilmington, to conduct a study of the impact that the facility had on the economy of the four counties of Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, and Pender in 2003. These four counties comprise State Planning Region 0 in Southeastern North Carolina. II. The Nature of an Economic Impact Study As the name implies, an economic impact study is conducted to estimate the impact that firms in a specific business sector have on the economy of the surrounding area. The impacts take several forms. The most obvious is the direct impact that measures payments made by the firms in that sector that flow directly into the local economy. These direct impacts include, but are not limited to, employee salaries and payments for raw materials and supplies. Beyond the direct impact, there are the indirect and induced impacts that reflect the "ripple effect" associated with the direct impact. These impacts are based on the "multiplier effect," an economics principle that provides an estimate of the total amount of spending that takes place, including the "ripple effect." Some proportion of every dollar received by employees and suppliers is re-spent in the local economy, i.e., initial sales are multiplied by some factor, and this recirculation generates additional income and revenue. The model used to estimate various measures of the economic impact on the four-county economy was developed using the IMPLAN ProfessionalTM for 4
Windows (Version 2.2) software.' This software is commonly used by business, government, and academic institutions to help develop economic impact analyses. III. The Study This study estimates the total economic impact - the sum of direct, indirect, and induced impacts - of the PGN Brunswick nuclear facility. All data are for 2003. The impacts that are calculated include those on output or income, employment, payrolls, gross or before-tax personal income, self-employment income, property income, indirect business taxes, and local property taxes. Personal income is income earned by city residents. Self-employment income is income earned by those self-employed in the City. Property income is income from such sources as rents, royalties, and dividends. Indirect business taxes include excise and sales taxes paid by individuals to businesses. The impact on county property tax collections, excluding any property taxes collected by the municipalities in the counties, is also calculated. IV. The Brunswick Nuclear Facility The Brunswvcll ni¶ll Ir plant is located on a 1,200 acre site near Southport, North Carolina, at i m1huMh of the Cape Fear River and is owned jointly by PGN (81.67%) and the r$ C strn Municipal Power Agency (18.33%). The plant is a dual-unit power plntth1t] as a combined capacity of approximately 1,770 megawatts, generagn electricity for approximately 1 million homes. The first nuclear plant it h Carolina, the Brunswick plant generates between 20 and 25 percent f ectricity produced for its customers in North and South Carolina. 5
The Brunswick units began commercial operation in November 1975 (Unit 2) and March 1977 (Unit 1). The Brunswick units are utilized as "base load" plants, operating at full power continuously except when maintenance or refueling activities are needed. V. The 2003 Impacts V.A. The RegionalImpacts Table 1 shows the 2003 impacts that were estimated for the Brunswick nuclear plant. As certain data are proprietary, only the total impacts, i.e., the sum of the direct, indirect, and induced impacts, are shown. All dollar figures are in 2003 dollars. Based on the data in Table 1, in 2003 the PGN Brunswick nuclear facility supported almost $901 million in output, 2,030 jobs, $100.8 million in personal income, $88.4 million in payrolls, $12.4 million in self-employment income, $184.7 million in property income, $48.4 million in indirect business taxes, and $8.1 million in county tax collections on real property." The property tax collections exclude any municipal collections. The implied real property tax necessary to generate these property tax collections was almost $1.3 billion. 6
Table 1 2003 Economic Impact of PqN Brunswick Nuclear Facility Operations on North Carolina State Pl nning Region O0 Impact Measure Impact Output $900.7 million Employment' I 2,030 Personal Income $100.8 million Payrolls $88.4 million Self-Employment Income $12.4 million Property Income $184.7 million Indirect Business Tax Collections $48.4 million County Property Tax Collections 3 $8.1 million Implied Real Property Tax Base 1,274.3 million Region 0 includes Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, and Pender Counties. 2 Employment includes employment at the PGN Brunswick nuclear facility and employment due to the "ripple effect." 3 This is a four-county total, excluding municipal collections. 4 The implied real property tax base is the tax base necessary to generate the associated property tax collections. Source: IMPLAN Model and Authors' Calculations. To place the above numbers in some perspective, total regional product or output in 2003 is estimated at $6.4 billion. Thus, the PGN Brunswick nuclear facility supported 14 percent of the value of total regional economic activity in 2003. Data from the North Carolina Employment Security Commission (ESC) indicate that average monthly employ ent in the four-county region over 2003 was 156,000. Thus, the nuclear facility supported 1.3 percent of total regional employment in 2003. ESC data also indicate an average annual salary across all sectors in the four-county region of $28,300 in 2003. Thus, the average annual salary supported by the nuclear facility of $43, 00 clculated by dividing payrolls by employment, was 53.5 percent above the all-sctor Average. Total property taxes on real property collected by the four counties, exclusive of municipal collections, was $215.8 million in FY 2003-2004. Thus, the nuclear facility supported 3.7 percent of these 7
collections. The implied real property tax base supported by the nuclear facility was also 3.7 percent of the value of all real property in the region. Table 2 shows the distribution of the output impact across selected sectors of the regional economy. Not surprisingly, the bulk of the impact (91 percent) is in the nuclear power facilities sector itself. Maintenance and repair services receive 1.7 percent of the impact. Real estate, home owners, and banking receive 0.5 percent of the impact each. Table 2 Distribution of the PGN Brunswick Nuclear Facility Output Impact in 2003 Sector Impact Nuclear Power Facilities $8193 million Maintenance and Repair Services $15.4 million Real Estate $5.1 million Home Owners $4.9 million Banking $4.5 million All Other Sectors $51.4 million Source: IMPLAN Model and Authors' Calculations. Table 3 shows the distribution of the employment impact across selected sectors of the regional economy. Not surprisingly, most of the employment impact (40 percent) is in the nuclear power facilities sector itself. Maintenance and repair services receive 13 percent of the impact. Eating and drinking places receive 5 percent of the impact, followed by miscellaneous retail outlets and food stores with 3 percent of the impact each. 8

V.B. The County Impacts This section estimates the impacts in each of the four counties comprising State Planning Region O.iv Table 4 provides the information on the 2003 impact. Table 4 Distribution of the PGN Brunswick Nuclear Facilit Imact in 2003 b County Brunswick Columbus New Hanover Pender Impact Measure County County County County Output $490.2 m $36.8 m $351.7 m $22.1 m Employment 1,100 80 800 50 Personal Income $54.9 m $4.1 m $39.4 m $2.5 m Payrolls $48.1 m $3.6 m $34.5 m $2.2 m Self-Employment Income $6.7 m $0.5 m $4.8 m $0.3 m Property Income $100.5 m $7.5 m $72.1 m $4.5 m Indirect Business Tax Collections $26.3 m $2.0 m $18.9 m $1.2 m County Property Tax Collections $3.3 m $0.4 m $3.2 m $1.2 m Implied Real Property Tax Base $549.1 m $52.6 m $469.8 m $202.8 m Source: IMPLAN Model and Authors' Calculations. To place the numbers in Table 4 in some perspective, total output in Brunswick County in 2003 is estimated at $1.26 billion. Thus, the PGN Brunswick nuclear facility supported almost 16 percent of the value of total county output in 2003. ESC data indicate an average monthly employment during 2003 in Brunswick County of 34,700. Thus, the facility supported 3.2 percent of total county employment in 2003. Real property tax collections in the county totaled $64 9
million in 2003 with an implied real property tax base of $10.8 billion. Thus, the facility supported 5.1 percent of property tax collections in the county. The implied property tax base was also 5.1 percent of the total real property tax base in the county. Total output in Columbus County in 2003 is estimated at $611.1 minion. Thus, the PGN Brunswick nuclear facility supported almost 19 percent of the value of total county output in 2003. ESC data indicate an average monthly employment in the county of 20,100 over 2003. Thus, the facility supported 0.4 percent of total county employment in 2003. Real property tax collections in the county totaled $15.8 million in 2003 with an implied real property tax base of $2 billion. Thus, the facility supported 2.6 percent of county property tax collections in 2003. The implied property tax base was also 2.6 percent of the total real property tax base in the county. Total output in New Hanover County in 2003 is estimated at almost $4.2 billion. Thus, the PGN Brunswick nuclear facility supported almost 12 percent of the value of total county output in 2003. ESC data indicate an average monthly employment in the county of 84,100 over 2003. Thus, the facility supported 0.9 percent of total county employment in 2003. Real property tax collections in the county totaled $115.4 million with an implied real property tax base of almost $17 billion. Thus, the facility supported 2.8 percent of county property tax collections in 2003. The implied property tax base was also 2.8 percent of the total real property tax base in the county. 10
Total output in Pender County in 2003 is estimated at $352.2 million. Thus, the PGN Brunswick nuclear facility supported almost 29 percent of the value of total county output in 2003. ESC data indicate an average monthly employment in the county of 17,560 over 2003. Thus, the facility supported 0.3 percent of total county employment in 2003. Real property tax collections in the county totaled $20.5 million with an implied real property tax base of $202.8 million. Thus, the facility supported 5.8 percent of county property tax collections in 2003. The implied property tax base was also 5.8 percent of the total real property tax base in the county.
- a. AdditionalImpacts of the Brunswick Nuclear Facility PGN's Brunswick nuclear facility also makes substantial contributions to the social, aesthetic, and cultural environment of the region. For example, through the first seven months of 2004, facility employees had provided nearly 1,500 volunteer hours to numerous local organizations'. These employees had also pledged more than $17,000 to Habitat of Brunswick County. Since 2000, PGN has made more than $1.9 million in grants to nonprofit organizations in the region.
VII. Summary and Conclusions As expected by the authors the impact of PGN's Brunswick nuclear facility is quite significant.. As a stand-alone enterprise, the authors believe that it is the largest single contributor to the Brunswick County economy with respect to income, employment, and taxes. Obviously, without knowledge of other stand-alone enterprises in the county this statement cannot be made with absolute certainty. However, the evidence presented in this study and anecdotal evidence indicates the 11
statement is a fact, that the nuclear facility is the largest single enterprise contributor to Brunswick County's economy. The effect on the other three counties offered some surprises to the authors. The Columbus County and Pender County impacts were in line with what the authors anticipated. The surprises were mostly in New Hanover County. In New Hanover County, the impact on output of $351.7 million, about 70 percent of the output impact in Brunswick County, was unanticipated. Not only was the magnitude of this contribution by the nuclear facility unexpected, but also the contribution to New Hanover County's tax base of approximately $470 million. Also, worthy of note is the contribution of the nuclear facilities to Pender County's tax collections on real property, representing 5.8 percent of the total, and to Pender's tax base at 5.8 percent of the total. This most likely is a reflection of home and property ownership by persons living in Pender County and working at the nuclear facility and in enterprises supporting the operation of the facility. The Brunswick County nuclear facility has a huge economic impact not only in Brunswick County but in Columbus, New Hanover, and Pender Counties as well. Prior to this study, the facility's importance as a major economic contributor to the four-county economy of State Planning Region 0 was largely unknown and unappreciated.

ii The impact on 'ral property tax collections was calculated by calculating real property tax colklctions per dollar of output produced and then multiplying this ratio by induced output. The size of the implied real property tax base was'calculated by dividing tax collections by ,h taxirate. The relevant FY 2003-2004 tax rates per $100 property valuatinn were $0.59 in Brunswick County, $0.78 in Columbus County, $0.68 in NeW Hanover County, and $0.59 in Pender County. These calculations were estimated using information supplied by PGN on resident counties of einployees. Specifically, 54 percent of the employees designated theirkcouity of residence as Brunswick County, 4 percent as/ Columbus County,!39 percent as New Hanover County, and 2 percent as Pender County. Thiese percentages were used to allocate the impact across the separate counties. 13

George W. Argus Herbs or rarely vines, perennial, rarely annual, strongly mycotrophic, epiphytic, terrestrial, lithophytic, or rarely aquatic or subterranean, usually green and photosynthetic, some without chlorophyll and saprophytic. Roots subterranean or aerial, tuberoid or stolonoid, usually with spongy, multilayered velamen. Stems erect or pendent or modified into creeping rhizomes, simple or sympodially or monopodially branched, delicate to stout, or thickened as corms or pseudobulbs, or greatly reduced, sometimes proliferous (especially diverse in sympodial orchids). Leaves solitary, several, or reduced to scales, basal or cauline, alternate, distichous, or sometimes opposite or whorled, either convolute or duplicate, simple, sessile or petiolate; stipules absent; blade articulate or not, plicate or conduplicate, cylindric, triangular, or laterally flattened, margins entire. Inflorescences terminal or lateral, racemes, spikes, panicles, or rarely cymose, erect or variously pendent, 1-many-flowered, lax or dense, flowering successively or simultaneously. Flowers bisexual [rarely unisexual], epigynous, resupinate or not, pedicellate or sessile, 3-merous, Ip : , 1 1, usually bilaterally symmetric [rarely nearly radially symmetric], with abscission V, . layer between pedicel and peduncle, rarely between ovary and .periianth or ovary and pedicel; perianth of 6 tepals in 2 whorls, all petaloid or sepals sometimes greener and more foliaceous in texture; sepals alike or not, lateral sepals often connate (forming synsepal), or all 3 sepals variously connate and/or adnate or distinct and/or free; petals 3, median petal modified as lip, commonly larger or differing in form and color, lateral petals commonly but not always similar to sepals; nectaries of various sorts; extrafloral nectaries sometimes present on pedicels, bracts, or leaf sheaths; stamens usually 1-2 Epipactis helleborine (-3, if 3 the 3d modified into sterile staminode), all on side opposite lip, fully or Credit: Harvard University Herbaria partially adnate to style, forming column; pollen grains in monads or tetrads, usually in 2-8 pollinia, sometimes subdivided into small packets, rarely granular, sometimes pollinia with caudicles and/or stipes; gynoecium 3-carpellate, connate, forming compound, inferior, 1- or 3-locular ovary; style variously adnate to filaments; stigmas usually 3-lobed, concave to convex, part of median stigma lobe modified into rostellum, often separating anther from fertile portions of stigma, commonly preventing or in some cases facilitating self-pollination; ovules numerous, anatropous, minute. Fruits capsules, opening (dehiscing) by longitudinal slits, rarely fleshy and indehiscent berries. Seeds numerous (millions in some species), minute; endosperm absent. Genera ca. 800, species 22,000-35,000 (701 genera, 208 species in the flora; 1 genus, 6 species introduced): worldwide except Antarctica, most diverse in tropical forests. The overall count for orchid genera in the flora includes Spathoglottis plicata Blume, which was recently reported from Palm Beach County, Florida. The plants, known locally since 1982, are apparently widely naturalized in old shellpits. The number of species in the flora includes one newly recognized species in Habenaria that is morphologically described, but not fully treated here. Orchidaceae are by far the largest and most diverse monocot family and rank among the largest families of flowering plants. An accurate account of the number of genera and species has eluded orchid scientists, and species counts published in the last 20 years range from 15,000 to 35,000. New species are continually being described. In addition, numerous natural and artificial hybrids exist. Although orchids are important in horticulture, most of the plants traded in the national and international market belong to a small number of species and their hybrids in only a few genera; the majority of orchids are not commonly cultivated. Few orchids are economically important outside the horticultural trade: the fruits of several species of Vanilla are the source of the spice vanilla, and the dry roots of some species of Dactylorhiza, Eulophia, and Orchis are made into salep, a flour consumed in northern Africa, the Middle East (especially Turkey), and Asia. Some species are locally used for medicinal purposes; the mucilage from pseudobulbs of several species is sometimes used as glue; and in the Far East the stems of some species of Dendrobium are split into strips used to weave handicrafts. A few orchids have been found to cause contact dermatitis (e.g., Cypripedium reginae). Orchids range vegetatively from Lilliputian plants a few millimeters long (Bulbophyllum Thouars and Platystele http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?floraid=l&taxonid=10638 11/72005
.Orchidaceae in Flora of North America @ efloras.org Page 2 of 10 Schlechter) to gigantic clusters weighing several hundred kilograms (Grammatophyllum Blume) to some as much as 13.4 meters in height (Sobralia altissima D. E. Bennett & Christenson, a recently described species from Peru). Ukewise, flowers vary in size from less than 1 mm and barely visible to the naked eye (Platystele Garay), to 15-20 cm diameter (some Paphiopedilum Pfitzer, Phragmipedium Rolfe, and Cattleya Lindley spp.), and ultimately to 76 cm [Phragmipedium caudatum (Undley) Rolfe]. Weight can vary from a fraction of a gram (many Pleurothallus R. Brown spp.) to nearly 100 grams (Coryanthes Hooker spp.). Their fragrances vary from delightful (Cattleya Lindley) to repulsive and unbearable (in some species of Bulbophyllum Thouars). The plants colonize habitats ranging from some of the driest and hottest places on earth to the wettest and coolest, literally occurring from polar regions to the equator. Within the monocots, the most important diagnostic features of Orchidaceae are reduction of adaxial stamens, fusion of the remaining stamens to the gynoecium forming the column, aggregation of pollen into compact pollinia (present elsewhere only in the dicots, in Asclepiadaceae), differentiation of the median petal into the lip, a sometimes complex organ, and the exceedingly small size of the seed, which lacks endosperm. Among other distinguishing characteristics: pollen in the pollinia is usually not available as a nutrient-source (Cleistes Richard ex Lindley being a notable exception), and the often complex interaction with pollinators culminates in the phenomenon of pseudocopulation in several genera (e.g., Ophrys Linnaeus, Caladenia R. Brown sect. Calonema, Drakaea Lindley). In the latter process, the flower mimics the appearance, the smell, and often the movements of a female wasp, attracting a male of a suitable species that tries to copulate with the flower. It usually only succeeds in becoming attached to a pollinium, which will then be transferred if the male tries to copulate with another flower. Roots of orchids may be covered with velamen, spongy layers derived from the epidermis; fleshy thickenings of roots are tuberoids (tubers being restricted to stems). Stems may be swollen or thickened, underground corms or aerial pseudobulbs. Flowers are often resupinate: the lip (modified median petal) is 'lowermost," usually as a result of the pedicel being twisted or bent In its development by 1800. Pedicellate ovary, usually used in reference to length, refers to the combined pedicel and ovary. Flowers are not always bome on pedicels; when they are, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between a slender ovary and the pedicel. Consequently, because of their slender ovaries, flowers of a "racemose spike" appear to be pedicellate even though they are sessile, while a "spicate raceme" has pedicels so short that they appear to be absent. Orchid flowers often have a modified median sepal, the dorsal sepal. Sepals coalescing at their tips form a synsepal. The middle portion of the upper (adaxial) face of the lip is the disc: it may be a thickened callus and may bear hairs, papillae, or other ornamentation. In orchids the style, stigmas, filaments, and one or more anthers are united to form a column; appendages projecting laterally from the stigma are column wings; the lip e may be attached to-the protrusion at the base of the column to form a column foot; lateral sepals that are also attached to the foot form a mentum {chin). In most orchids the column bears a single anther at its apex; the clinandrium is the cavity within which the anther is borne or embedded. Pollen is borne in discrete masses (pollinia). Genera with mealy. (sectile) pollinia may have pollinia within the anther tapering into a caudicle (stalk), which is attached to a sticky viscidium. Those with waxy pollinia have pollinia attached to one or two stipes (of stigmatic origin and formed outside the anther), which in turn are attached to a viscidium. The various aggregations of pollinia, caudicles, stipes, and viscidium form a pollinarium, the pollination unit carried by pollinators. The median stigma lobe may have a slender extension or little beak (rostellum), which aids in gluing the pollinarium to the pollinator. Taxa excluded from the flora as neither native nor definitely naturalized are discussed below. Bletia florida (Salisbury) R. Brown, grows in gardens near Homestead, Florida. This species has escaped and may persist but does not spread to the surrounding area (P. M. Brown 2002). Bletia patula Hooker is an apparent garden escape (P. M. Brown 2000). A single vegetative specimen, which later flowered, was collected in 1947. No specimens that can be referred to this species have been collected or seen since then (P. M. Brown 2002). Bletilla striata (Thunberg) Reichenbach f. is a garden escape (P. M. Brown 2000, 2002) that has been reported growing along roadsides and in lawns In Escambia County, Florida (G. S. Wilhelm 1984). A specimen is located in FLAS but its naturalized status cannot be established (R. Wunderlin, pers. comm.). Brassavola nodosa (Linnaeus) Undley is a dubious record (C. McCartney 1997; P. M. Brown 2000, 2002). Encyclia rufa (Undley) Britton & Millspaugh has been excluded because only one specimen has been recorded. R. P. Sauleda and R. M. Adams (1983) considered it to have been introduced. Epidendrum blancheanum Urban is endemic to Hispaniola. It is not confirmed for Florida. Epidendrum radicans Pav6n ex Lindley has been reported to be a persistent escape in Lee County, Florida (P. M. Brown 2000). Two specimens previously identified as this species from Captiva Island, Florida, are probably hybrids and not the pure species, which Isvery easily identified (E. HAgsater, pers. comm.). Gymnadenia conopsea (Linnaeus) R. Brown was reported for Litchfield, Connecticut, by R. C. Bean et al. (1951), who noted that a specimen was in the herbarium of the Torrey Botanical Club but that the station has not been relocated. Apparently the species did not persist (P. M. Brown 1997), and it is not a likely naturalization. Laelia rubescens Lindley was discovered in 1999, growing on a large branch of a live oak in Hammock County Park, Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida. It was believed to have originated from seed rather than an Intentional planting because the plant could be traced from a pea-sized pseudobulb for at least 8 growth periods, and other seedlings were found in the area (P. M. Brown 2000,2002). The species may be a possible naturalization. Leochilus labiatus (Swartz) Kuntze was reported by C. A. Luer (1972) to be naturalized in Florida based on second-hand evidence (C. McCartney 1997). The purported occurrence in the Fakahatchee Swamp may have been a deliberate deception at Luer's expense (R. L. Hammer, pers. comm.). All of Luer's photographs were of cultivated plants and there is no herbarium voucher. Its reported naturalization in Florida is dubious (P. M. Brown 2000). http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspxflora id=l&taxonid=10638 11/7/2005
.Orchidaceae in Flora of North America @ efloras.org Page 3 of 10 Lophiaris carthagenensis (Jacquin) Braem was reported in Florida [as Oncidium carthagenense (Jacquin) Swartz] based upon a single specimen collected by J. K.Small in 1916, at Coot Bay (near Flamingo in Everglades National Park), Monroe County, Florida (D. S.Correll 1950; C. A. Luer 1972). The specimen, in New York, includes a partial inflorescence and lacks foliage. A number of attempts were made to relocate the species at Coot Bay but all were unsuccessful (R.P. Sauleda and R. M.Adams 1989; R.L. Hammer, pers. comm.). Sauleda and Adams suggested that the specimen collected by Small had come from a garden in southern Florida where he kept plants until they flowered. They stated that Small probably collected the specimen under the mistaken belief that the plant was collected in Florida although it had actually come from Central America. Others, including P.M. Brown (2000), simply consider it to be a possible introduction but not naturalized. Maxillaria sanguinea Rolfe has reportedly become naturalized, but naturalization of the species in the flora area Is dubious (C. McCartney 1997; P. M.Brown 2000). Restrepiella ophiocephala (Lindley) Garay & Dunsterville was reported to occur in North America. Apparently, it has not become naturalized in the flora area (P. M.Catling, pers. comm.). It is considered a dubious record (C. McCartney 1997; P. M.Brown 2000). Tetramicra canaliculata (Aublet) Urban was treated as naturalized in the flora of Florida (C. A. Luer 1972). Recent evidence (C.A. Luer, pers. comm.) indicates that the species is not native and has not become naturalized. Moreover, it has not been reported for Jamaica or Cuba and reports for the Bahamas are erroneous (D.S. Correll and H.B. Correll 1982). Other citations (L.A. Garay and H. R. Sweet 1974; J. G. Williams and A. E. Williams 1983) also are erroneous, probably based on C.A. Luer (1972). The scenarios that could have led to this and other cases of dubious reports of naturalized orchids are discussed in C. McCartney (1997). SELECTED REFERENCES Bentley, S. L.

CYPERACEAE Jussieu Sedge Family Peter W. Ball, A. A. Reznicek, David F. Murray Herbs, annual or perennial, cespitose or not, rhizomatous or not, stoloniferous or not. Roots fibrous, principally adventitious. Stems (culms) usually trigonous, occasionally terete, rarely compressed, usually solid, rarely hollow or septate. Leaves basal and/or cauline, altemate, usually 3-ranked, rarely 2-ranked or multi-ranked, bases forming cylindric sheaths enclosing stem, margins usually fused; junction of sheaths and blades often with adaxial flaps of tissue or fringes of hair (ligules); blades frequently absent from some basal leaves, rarely from cauline leaves, when present divergent or ascending, flat, folded, plicate, rolled, or terete, linear, venation parallel. Primary inflorescences (spikelets) a shortened axis; glumaceous bracts (scales) 1-many, spirally arranged, sometimes 2-ranked, usually ' appressed or ascending; scales usually all fertile, each subtending a single flower, sometimes proximal and/or distal scales empty; lateral spikes often with basal, usually empty, usually 2-keeled scale (prophyll); occasionally prophyll subtending and enclosing rachilla, bearing 1 pistillate, sometimes (0-)3 staminate flowers and empty scales (Carex, Cymophyllus, and Kobresia). Secondary inflorescences panicles, often modified to corymb, pseudoumbel, cyme (anthela), raceme, spike, or capitulum (head), rarely single spike, usually subtended by foliaceous or, less frequently, glumaceous bracts; secondary inflorescences sometimes simulating spikelets (Carex, Cymophyllus, and Kobresia). Flowers hypogynous, bisexual in most genera, unisexual in Scleria, Carex, Cymophyllus, and Kobresia; perianth absent or with (1-)3-6(-30) bristles and/or scales, usually falling off with fruit; stamens usually (1-)3, rarely more, usually distinct; anthers basifixed; pistils 1, 2-3(-4)-carpellate, fused, locule 1; style undivided or branches 2-3(-4); stigma sometimes papillate. Fruits achenes, usually trigonous or biconvex; pencarps thin (except in Scleria). Seeds 1; testa thin, free from pericarp; embryo basal; endosperm abundant. x ca.100. Genera ca.100, species ca. 5000 (27 genera, 843 species in the flora): worldwide. No consensus exists regarding the number of genera and the overall relationships of genera within Cyperaceae. The most recent account of the family (P. Goetghebeur 1998) recognized 104 genera distributed among 4 subfamilies and 14 tribes. That arrangement differs somewhat from that of J. Bruhl (1995). With one minor exception the arrangement of the family here follows that of Goetghebeur. The family is characterized by the occurrence of a number of unusual cytological features including: (1) chromosomes with diffuse centromeres, (2) post-reductional meiosis, and (3) pollen grains formed from tetrads In which 3 of the 4 microspores fail to develop. The first two features are found in at least some Juncaceae and are unique to the two families. Juncaceae also have pollen In tetrads, but in that family all four microspores produce pollen grains. Some species in some genera of Cyperaceae (particularly Eleocharis) possess chromosomes with localized centromeres (S. S. Bir et al. 1993). The wide range of chromosome numbers found in Cyperaceae is largely because of agmatoploidy; polyploidy has been hypothesized for some genera, especially Eleocharis, although polyploidy has not been demonstrated unequivocally. Because of morphologic similarities in vegetative and inflorescence characters, the family has commonly been associated with Poaceae. Cytological features discussed above clearly indicate that to be a superficial similarity. Data from rbcL studies also support the view that Cyperaceae and Poaceae are not closely related (M. R. Duvall et al. 1993b; G. M. Plunkett et al. 1995); they do support the concept of close relationship between Cyperaceae and Juncaceae. For most families of flowering plants the phenological data given are flowering times. Because most Cyperaceae cannot be reliably identified when in flower, in this volume fruiting time is given for all species by season, sometimes qualified by early, mid, or late, or by months. The fruiting time has been interpreted broadly to include the period when the fruit is more or less fully formed but not yet ripe. The fruiting period provided covers the entire range of the taxon. Quite a difference between fruiting periods in different parts of the range of the species may well occur, especially for widespread species and species with extensive elevation range.

i INTRODUCTION Spatial frameworks are necessary to structure the research, assessment, monitoring, and ultimately the management of environmental resources. Ecological region (or ecoregion) frameworks are designed to meet these needs and have been developed in the United States (Bailey 1976, 1983, 1995; Bailey et al., 1994; Omernik 1987, 1995), Canada (Wiken 1986; Ecological Stratification Working Group 1995), New Zealand (Biggs et al., 1990), Australia (Thackway and Cresswell 1995), the Netherlands (Klijn 1994), Finland (Heino et al., 2002), and other countries. We define ecoregions as areas of relative homogeneity in ecological systems and their components. They portray areas within which there is similarity in the mosaic of all biotic and abiotic components of both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Factors associated with spatial differences in the quality and quantity of ecosystem components, including soils, vegetation, climate, geology, and physiography, are relatively homogeneous within an ecoregion. These regions separate different patterns in human stresses on the environment and different patterns in the existing and attainable quality of environmental resources. Ecoregion classifications are effective for inventorying and assessing national and regional environmental resources, for setting regional resource management goals, and for developing biological criteria and water quality standards (Gallant et al., 1989; Hughes et al., 1990, 1994; Hughes 1989; Environment Canada 1989; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Science Advisory Board 1991; Warry and Hanau 1993). The development of ecoregion frameworks in North America has evolved considerably in recent years (Bailey et al., 1985; Omernik and Gallant 1990; Omernik 1995). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) first compilation of ecoregions of the conterminous United States was performed at a relatively cursory scale, 1:3,168,000, and was published at a smaller scale, 1:7,500,000 (Omernik 1987). The approach recognized that the combination and relative importance of characteristics that explain ecosystem regionality vary from one place to another and from one hierarchical level to another. This is similar to the approach used by Environment Canada (Wiken 1986). In describing ecoregionalization in Canada, Wiken (1986) stated: "Ecological land classification is a process of delineating and classifying ecologically distinctive areas of the earth's surface. Each area can be viewed as a discrete system which has resulted from the mesh and interplay of the geologic, landform, soil, vegetative, climatic, wildlife, water and human factors which may be present. The dominance of any one or a number of these factors varies with the given ecological land unit. This holistic approach to land classification can be applied incrementally on a scale-related basis from very site specific ecosystems to very broad ecosystems." The EPA's ecoregion framework has been revised and made hierarchical. It has been expanded to include Alaska (Gallant et al., 1995), as well as tie into a North American ecological region framework (Commission for Environmental Cooperation 1997). A Roman numeral classification scheme has been adopted for the hierarchical levels of ecoregions. This numbering is used, in part, to avoid confusion over different usage of terms such as ecozones, ecodistricts, ecoprovinces, subregions, etc. Level I is the coarsest level, dividing North America into 15 ecological regions. At level II, the continent is subdivided into 52 ecoregions, and at level m the continental United States contains 104 ecoregions (U.S. EPA 2002). The goal of the U.S. EPA ecoregion work that began nearly 20 years ago was to develop a spatial framework for states to structure their regulatory programs more effectively, in tune with the regional potentials and resiliences of the land (Omernik 1987). It was suspected and subsequently learned that the quantity and quality of water tended to be similar within these ecological regions. The level m ecoregions defined initially by Omernik (1987) were shown to be useful for stratifying streams in Arkansas (Rohm et al., 1987), Ohio (Larsen et al., 1988), and Oregon (Hughes et al., 1987; Whittier et al., 1988), as well as in several other states (Hughes et al., 1994, Davis et al., 1996, Feminella 2000). They were used to identify lake management goals in Minnesota (Heiskary et al., 1987; Heiskary and Wilson 1989), and to develop biological criteria in Ohio (Yoder and Rankin 1995). Many state agencies, however, have found that the resolution of the level m ecoregions does not provide enough detail to meet their needs. This has led to several collaborative projects, with states, EPA regional
offices, and the EPA's National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory in Corvallis, OR, to refine level m ecoregions and define level IV ecoregions at a larger (1:250,000) scale. These level IV ecoregion projects have been completed or are in process in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, and are largely in response to requests from EPA regional offices or state water resource management agencies. Many of these state projects are also associated with interagency efforts to develop a common framework of ecological regions (McMahon et al., 2001). Water quality legislation and regulations, with a mandate to "restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters," depend on some model of attainable conditions, that is, on some measurable objectives towards which cleanup efforts are striving (Hughes et al., 1986). States are adopting biological criteria for surface waters to improve water quality standards. Biological criteria are defined as numeric values or narrative expressions that describe the reference biological integrity of aquatic communities inhabiting waters of a given designated aquatic life use (U.S. EPA 1990). Biological integrity has been defined as, " the ability of an aquatic ecosystem to support and maintain a balanced, integrated, adaptive community of organisms having a species composition, diversity, and functional organization comparable to that of the natural habitats of a region," (Karr and Dudley 1981). Regional reference sites within an ecoregion can give managers and scientists a better understanding of attainable water body conditions. The biota and physical and chemical habitats characteristic of these regional reference sites serve as benchmarks for comparison to more disturbed streams, lakes, and wetlands in the same region (Hughes et al., 1986; Hughes 1995). Along with other information, these sites help indicate the range of conditions that
- a. could reasonably be expected in an ecoregion, given natural limits and present or possible land use practices. -
The Biological Assessment Unit of North Carolina's Division of Water Quality has a long history of.> I examining regional influences on water quality (Lenat 1993, Carson 1989). To facilitate ecological, assessments and the continued development of biological criteria for streams and rivers in North Carolina, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), U.S. EPA Region IV, U.S. EPA-Corvallis, USDA-NRCS Watershed Science Institute, and other agencies collaborated to define level m and level IV ecoregions. This type of framework can be useful for assessing nonpoint source pollution problems, determining the effectivenes of best management practices, identifying high quality or outstanding resource waters, establishing ecoregion-specific chemical and biological water quality standards, for putting basin or statewide 305(b) water quality reports in an ecological context, and for managing areas to preserve biological diversity. In this paper, we discuss the method and materials used to refine level mII ecoregions and define level IV ecoregions in North Carolina, and provide descriptions of the significant characteristics in these regions. METHODS Our regionalization process includes compiling and reviewing relevant materials, maps, and data; outlining the regional characteristics; drafting the ecoregion boundaries; creating digital coverages and cartographic products; and revising as needed after review by national, state, and local experts. In the regionalization process, we use primarily a qualitative, weight-of-evidence analysis of relevant data and information. Expert judgement is applied throughout the selection, analysis, and classification of data to form the regions, basing judgments on the quantity and quality of source data and on interpretation of the relationships between the data and other environmental factors. The analysis accounts for differences in map accuracy, scale, and generalization, as well as for differences in the relative importance of any one factor as it relates to ecological classification at any particular location. More detailed descriptions on the U.S. EPA's methods, materials, rationale, and philosophy for regionalization can be found in Omernik (1987, 1995), Omernik et al., (2000), Gallant et al., (1989), and Omemik and Gallant (1990). The regionalization process used for North Carolina was similar to that of other state-level EPA ecoregion projects (e.g., Griffith et al., 2002, 2001, 1997, 1994a,bc; Omernik et al., 2000; Woods et al., 1996, 1998).
Maps of environmental characteristics and other documents were collected from the state of North Carolina, U.S. EPA-Corvallis, USGS, and from other sources. The most important of these are listed in the References section. The most useful map types for our ecoregion delineation generally include physiography or land surface form, geology, soils, climate, vegetation, and land cover/land use. There are several different small-scale physiographic maps of North Carolina that can be found in a variety of publications. Statewide physiographic and land surface-form descriptions and maps were gathered primarily from Stuckey (1965). Wilson et al., (1980), Orr and Stuart (2000), Lonsdale (1967), Harrington (1982), NCCGIA (1997) among others; from surrounding states, e.g., Myers et al., (1986), Kovacik and Winberry (1987), Murphy (1995); and from regional or national scale information such as Hack (1982), Bayer (1983), Hammond (1970) and Fenneman (1938). Topography and land-form features were also discerned from 1:250,000 and 1: 100,000 scale topographic maps. Geologic information was gathered from maps such as the 1:500,000-scale state map North Carolina Geological Survey (1985) and other regional maps (Owens 1989); from surrounding state maps in South Carolina (Maybin and Nystrom 1995, SCDNR 1997) Tennessee (Hardeman et al., 1966), and Virginia (Virginia Division of Mineral Resources 1993); from the 1:1,000,000-scale Quaternary geology series (Cleaves et al., 1987, Colquhoun et al., 1987, Howard et al., 1991, Johnson and Peebles 1986); from state, regional, or local geology descriptions (e.g., Horton and Zullo 1991, Stuckey 1965, Murphy 1995, Hack 1982, Snoke 1978, Horton et al., 1981, Wilson et al., 1980, Orr and Stuart 2000); and from national scale maps such as Hunt (1979), Bayer (1983), and King and Biekman (1974). Soils information was obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) county soil surveys, the 1:250,000-scale STATSGO soil data base, and state and regional publications (e.g., Daniels et al., 1984, 1999; USDA-SCS 1981). Because soil taxonomy and interpretations are dynamic, and current soil series - names may be different from those in earlier publications, soil information and ecological aggregations of STATSGO or other soil data were also obtained from state soil experts (Roy Vick; Jr., Chip Smith, USDA-- Natural Resources Conservation Service, personal communications). Climate information and summaries were based primarily on 1961-1990 data from the Southeast Regional Climate Center, from precipitation and temperature information based on the PRISM model (Daly et al., 1997; www.ocs.orst.edu/prism/prism new.html), from state summaries (Soule 1996), and from older data such as Hardy (1974) and climate information in the county soil surveys. Statewide vegetation and forest cover maps for North Carolina are difficult to find. The most common forest type map is general and small in scale, and comes in several variations from different publications, but appears to be based mostly on a 1955 USDA Forest Service small-scale map. This 1955 map is still being distributed to the public by the NCDENR Division of Forest Resources. The variations of this map can be found in Orr and Stuart (2000), Clay et al., (1975), Lemert and Harrelson (1954), as well as an older 1940 version in Cruikshank (1943). Vegetation and forest type information were also obtained from Braun (1950), Kuchler (1964), the forest atlas of the South (USDA, Forest Service 1969), the national atlas (Kuchler 1970; U.S. Forest Service 1970), USDA Forest Service (1997), from natural community publications (Schafale and Weakley 1990, Fleming et al., 2001), from numerous journal manuscripts listed in the references, or from NCDENR Natural Heritage Program personnel (Mike Schafale, personal communication). For land use/land cover we used primarily the National Land Cover Data set (NLCD), part of the Multi-Resolution Land Characterization (MRLC) consortium activities. This data is based on early to mid-1990's Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite data of 30 meter resolution (Vogelmann et al., 2001). We also used the 1:250,000 scale land use/land cover maps from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS 1986), and the general land use classification of Anderson (1970). Also, for assessing variations in the mix of agriculture activities as an expression of land potential, many maps from the 1987, 1992 and 1997 Census of Agriculture were analyzed (U.S. Department of Commerce 1990, 1995; U.S. Department of Agriculture NASS 1999), as well as state and county agricultural statistics from the NC Department of Agriculture. In addition, a map produced from composited multi-temporal Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite data was also used to assess boundaries and regional differences. This AVHRR NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) data is also used by the USGS EROS Data Center to characterize land cover of the conterminous United States (Loveland et al., 1991, 1995).
In addition to the component information such as listed above, other existing ecological, biological, or physical frameworks were examined. These include the several ecoregion frameworks developed by NCDENR aquatic biologists such as Penrose, Eaton, Lenat and others (Dave Lenat, NCDENR, personal communication), the North Carolina ecoregions of Carson (1989), draft ecological planning regions of the Natural Heritage Program (Mike Schafale, NCDENR, personal communication), the South Carolina forest habitat regions (Myers et al., 1977), the USFS sections and subsections (Keys et al., 1995), Major Land Resource Areas (USDA 1981), and the natural land-use regions of Barnes and Marschner (1933), among others. Also of major importance were the mental maps that local experts brought to discussion meetings, reviews, or field reconnaissance trips. We used USGS 1:250,000-scale topographic maps as the base for delineating the ecoregion boundaries. Although this map series is dated, it does provide quality in terms of the relative consistency and comparability of the series, in the accuracy of the topographic information portrayed, and in the locational control. It is also a very convenient scale. Seventeen of these maps give complete coverage of North Carolina. RESULTS AND REGIONAL DESCRIPTIONS We have divided North Carolina into four level Ell ecoregions (Figure 1, p. 52) and 27 level IV ecoregions (Figure 2, p. 53). Although these level IV ecoregions still contain some heterogeneity in factors that can affect water quality and biotic characteristics, they provide a more detailed framework and more precise ecoregion boundaries than the earlier national-scale ecoregions (Omernik 1987). The ecoregion
-framework also provides more homogeneous units for inventorying, monitoring, and assessing surface
- waters than the commonly used hydrologic unit frameworks or political unit frameworks (0mernik and i Bailey 1997, Omernik and Griffith 1991, Griffith et al., 1999). Major river basins drain strikingly different f'.
ecological regions. A map of the ecoregions of North Carolina and South Carolina has been published by USGS (Griffith et al., 2002b). Ecoregion boundaries are often portrayed by a single line, but in reality they are transition zones of varying widths. In some areas the change is distinct and abrupt, in other areas, the boundary is fuzzy and more difficult to determine. fuzzy boundaries are areas of uncertainty or where there may be a 1 heterogeneous mosaic of characteristics from each of the adjacent areas.
- 45. Piedmont Considered the nonmountainous portion of the old Appalachians Highland by physiographers, the northeast-southwest trending Piedmont ecoregion comprises a transitional area between the mostly mountainous ecological regions of the Appalachians to the northwest and the relatively flat coastal plain to the southeast. It is an erosional terrain of moderately dissected irregular plains with some hills, with a complex mosaic of Precambrian and Paleozoic metamorphic and igneous rocks. Most rocks of the Piedmont are covered by a thick mantle of saprolite, except along some major strpam valley bluffs and on a few scattered granitic domes and flatrocks. Rare plants and animals are often found on the rock outcrops. Stream drainage in the Piedmont tends to be perpendicular to the structural trend of the rocks across which they flow. This lack of structural control is likely due to the drainage being superimposed from a Coastal Plain cover (Staheli 1976; Hack 1982).
The soils are generally finer-textured than those found in coastal plain regions with less sand and more clay (Markewich et al. 1990). Several major land cover transformations have occurred in the Piedmont over the past 200 years, from forest to farm, back to forest, and now in many areas, spreading urban- and suburbanization. The historic oak-hickory-pine forest was dominated by white oak (Quercus alba), southern red oak (Q. falcata), post oak (Q. stellata), and hickory (Carya spp.), with some shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) and loblolly pine (P. taeda). Once largely cultivated with crops such as cotton, corn, tobacco and wheat, most of the Piedmont soils were moderately to severely eroded (Trimble 1974). Much of this region is now in planted pine or has reverted to successional pine and hardwood woodlands, with some pasture in
the landcover mosaic. We have divided the Piedmont of North Carolina into seven level IV ecoregions: Southern Inner Piedmont (45a), Southern Outer Piedmont (45b), Carolina Slate Belt (45c), Northern Inner Piedmont (45e), Northern Outer Piedmont (45f), Triassic Basins (45g) and Kings Mountain (45i). 45a. Southern Inner Piedmont The Southern Inner Piedmont extends from Alabama, across northern Georgia and South Carolina, and just into a small portion of the North Carolina Piedmont, primarily in Polk and Rutherford counties. The region is generally higher in elevation with more relief than 45b. As a transitional region from the Blue Ridge (66) to the Piedmont, it contains some mountain outliers, and it receives more rainfall than 45b and 45c. The general roughness of the landscape decreases to the southeast away from the mountains. The rolling to hilly well-dissected upland contains mostly gneiss and schist bedrock that is covered with clayey and micaceous saprolite. It is warmer than the Northern Inner Piedmont (45e) to the north that extends into Virginia, and it contains thermic soils rather than 45e's mesic soils. The region is now mostly forested, with major forest types of oak-pine and oak-hickory. Open areas are mostly in pasture, although there are some small areas of cropland. The boundary with 66d and 661 is relatively distinct, based primarily on topography and soils, while the boundary with 45b to the southeast is more transitional and fuzzy. 45b. Southern Outer Piedmont The Southern Outer Piedmont extends from Alabama, across large portions of the Georgia and South Carolina Piedmont, and into northern North Carolina. It covers the middle portion of the North Carolina Piedmont in the south, narrowing to the north, northeast of Greensboro, between 45c and 45e. The ecoregion has lower elevations, less relief, and less precipitation than 45a and 45e,.and tends to have more cropland than those Inner Piedmont regions. The landform class is mostly irregular plains rather than the plains with: V V high hills of 45a and 45e (Hammond 1970) Gneiss, schist, and'granite are typical rock types, and the rocks are more intensely deformed and metamorphosed than the geologic materials in 45c, 45g, and 45i. The rocks are covered with deep saprolite and mostly red, clayey subsoils. Kanhapludults are common soils, such as the Cecil; Appling, and Madison series. The eastern portion of the region is complex, with a mixture of felsic crystalline and more mafic rocks contributing to complex soil patterns. Many gradations of soils occur from the felsic rocks to the mafic rocks. As Daniels et al., (1999, p.58) express it, "It must be emphasized that most rock types have gradational boundaries and the boundary between soils related to each rock type is even more diffuse." Soil variation even within a detailed soil survey map unit is larger than normal for the Piedmont. Some areas within this region have more alkaline soils, such as the Iredell series, formed over diabase, diorite, or gabbro, and may be associated with areas once known as blackjack oak prairies. A few researchers in both South and North Carolina suggested that these basic rock/soil areas were distinctive and should be mapped as a separate region, but there was little evidence of their extent or exact location, and the areas appeared to be mostly small and scattered. The mafic rock types that were suggested, such as gabbro, diabase, and diorite did not always coincide with the suggested soil series of Iredell, Enon, Armenia, and Picture. In addition, there was not strong or well-mapped vegetation evidence or mutiple sources of evidence to show a distinctive region. As Shafale and Weakley (1990, p.76) noted for the basic oak-hickory forests of the Piedmont, sites mapped as having the soil series with higher soil pH sometimes give no vegetational indication of having basic soils. For the ecoregion as a whole, pine (shortleaf, Virginia, and loblolly) dominates on old field sites and pine plantations, while mixed oak forest is found in less heavily altered areas. Land cover also includes some pasture and cropland, as well as spreading urban areas, especially around Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Greensboro. The northern or northwestern boundary with 45e is transitional or fuzzy, based in part on the mesic/thermic soil temperature line established by NRCS and others (Daniels et al., 1999), climatic patterns and characteristics, general physiographic differences, apparent differences indicated by major forest type maps, and differences in aquatic macroinvertebrate distributions. (See the discussion on this boundary in
45e). The eastern boundary of the ecoregion is somewhat sharper, occurring where the region meets the slate belt rocks and soils of 45c. 45c. Carolina Slate Belt This region extends from southern Virginia, across the Carolinas, and into a small part of eastern Georgia. The mineral-rich metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks with slatey cleavage tend to be finer-grained and legs metamorphosed than other parts of the Piedmont (except for the Triassic Basins, 45g) and are somewhat less resistant to erosion. They therefore form areas of slightly lower elevations with wider valleys. In North Carolina, however, some parts of the region are more rugged and hilly, such as the Uwharrie Mountains, and other areas have hills and linear ridges. Trellised drainage patterns also occur in parts of the region. The volcanic-sedimentary rock formations include volcanic slates, basic and acid tuffs, breccias and flows that are interbedded. The volcanic rocks are intruded in some areas by granites. The Carolina Slate Belt has been an important region of mineral production and is thought to have potential for containing undiscovered deposits of gold and silver, as well as of copper, lead, zinc; molybdenum, and tin. The volcanic slates are deeply weathered in places forming clay and shale, and soils generally have high silt contents. Georgeville and Herndon soils (fine, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Hapludults) are common. The more silty and silty clay soils of the the Carolina Slate Belt contrast with the loam and sandy loam soils often found in 45a, 45e, 45b, 45g, and 45f. Streams tend to dry up and water yields to wells are low as this region contains some of the lowest water-yielding rock units in North Carolina (Giese and Mason 1991). Similar Slate Belt regions have been defined on other regional frameworks, such as for natural land use areas (Barnes and Marschner 1933), soil system regions (Daniels et al., 1984, 1999), USFS subsections (Keys et al., 1995), and in South Carolina as a forest habitat region (Myers et al., 1986). 45e. Northern Inner Piedmont - Similar to 45a, the rolling to hilly Northern Inner Piedmont has higher elevations, more rugged: topography, and more monadnocks or mountain outliers than other areas of the Piedmont. It has colder temperatures, more snowfall, and a shorter growing season than in 45a, b, c, and f, and it has mostly mesic soils rather than the thermic soils that cover other regions of the North Carolina Piedmont. The region contains more Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana) and less shortleaf pine (P. echinata) than 45b and 45c, more chestnut oak (Quercus montana), and many mountain disjunct plant species. Streams tend to have higher gradients than in the Outer Piedmont regions, and contain many mountain-type macroinvertebrate species. The eastern boundary of the ecoregion with 45b is 'transitional or fuzzy, based in part on the mesic/thermic soil temperature line established by NRCS and others (Daniels et al., 1999), the climatic patterns and characteristics mentioned above, the general physiographic differences, the differences indicated by major forest type maps, and differences in aquatic inacroinvertebrate distributions such as "extended mountain" stream macroinvertebrate species and higher EPT taxa richness scores. There was some disagreement among the collaborating researchers on where this boundary should be placed. One aquatic biologist thought that it extended too far to the east and south in the northern two tiers of counties. Some soil scientists suggested that the boundary should be moved slightly further to the southeast to follow exactly the designated mesic/thermic soil temperature line, but others argued that the soil temperature line was also a problematic, less-than-sharp boundary. The western boundary of the ecoregion is somewhat sharper, occurring where the region meets the higher relief of the Blue Ridge Front or foothill areas and mountain soils types of Ecoregion 66. However, the occurrence of higher relief areas of the inner-most Piedmont near the Blue Ridge boundary suggest some transitional width occurs in some sections as well. 45f. Northern Outer Piedmont The Northern Outer Piedmont is composed of mostly gneiss and schist rock intruded by granitic plutons, and veneered with saprolite. It is lithologically distinct from the adjacent Piedmont regions 45c and 45g, as well as from the younger unconsolidated sediments of 65m. Rocks and soils are similar to 45b, but 45f is cooler with a shorter growing season. The region contains more loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) compared to the Virginia pine (P. virginiana) and shortleaf pine (P. echinata) found in the Piedmont to the west, but it also
contains local concentrations of mountain disjunct plant species. The region extends into Virginia and becomes contiguous with the Northern Inner Piedmont, but relief and elevation are less than in 45e, and it contains thermic soils rather than 45e's mesic soils. At the eastern boundary, the Fall Line is a broad transition zone where Piedmont rocks occur on the same landscape with Coastal Plain sediments. This Fall Zone contains a variety of aquatic habitats, and some cascades and waterfalls deter the upstream movement of fish, especially during low water. Some areas near this boundary have metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks similar to 45c. Although we recognized the occurrence of Slate Belt rocks and soils in the eastern portion of the region, the consensus of opinion in the mapping meetings for this project was to not delineate this as a disjunct piece of the Carolina Slate Belt, considering its relatively small size and the heterogeneous nature of the rocks and soils throughout the entire Northern Outer Piedmont ecoregion. 45g. Triassic Basins This region extends from Virginia, across North Carolina, and just slightly into South Carolina. The Triassic Basins of North Carolina occur in four narrow bands and have unusual Piedmont geology of unmetamorphosed shales, sandstones, mudstones, siltstones, and conglomerates. Local relief and elevations are often less than in surrounding regions (45c, 45e, and 45f), and, with rocks that are easier to erode, stream valleys that cross the region tend to widen. Soils are often clayey with low permeability, and streams have low base flows. The clay has a high shrink-swell potential that can hinder construction; it is also utilized by many brick makers in the region. A mosaic of mixed and deciduous forest, pasture, cropland, and urban land cover occurs here. In the wider floodplains, large bottomland hardwood forests once occurred, before they were covered by the water of reservoirs such as Jordan Lake, Fallslakde,and Harris-Reservoir. The E boundaries of the ecoregion are based on the close coincidence of breaks-in geology and soils relative to \ a. -adjacent regions.; 45i. Kings Mountain The Kings Mountain ecoregion is a hilly, somewhat rugged area with some northeast to southwest trending ridges and distinctive metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks. Aluminum-rich quartz-sericite schist is common. The metamorphic grade is generally lower than adjacent geologic belts and the rocks contain an unusual variety of mineral deposits. Mining strongly influenced the early development of the region, including an iron industry in the late 1700's to late 1800's, and later production of marble, lime, gold, lead, silver, pyrite, lithium, mica, feldspar, silica, and clay. Soils derived from the fine-textured rocks are often a very fine sandy to silty texture, somewhat similar to Carolina Slate Belt (45c) soils. The region is covered with mixed oak and oak-hickory-pine forest. Some small but prominent natural Virginia pine-dominated woodlands occur on the high ridges. About two-thirds of the ecoregion occurs across the border in South Carolina, and it was delineated in that state as a forest habitat region by Myers et al., (1986). While relief and topography help define the region, soils and geology were the more important factors in determining the ecoregion boundary placement.
- 63. Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain Ecoregion 63 is found primarily in the Carolinas and other states to the north, and has a broad transitional boundary with ecoregion 75 to the south. It consists of low elevation, flat plains, with many swamps, marshes, and estuaries. Forest cover in the region, once dominated by longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) in the Carolinas, is now mostly loblolly (P. taeda) and some shortleaf pine (P. echinata), with patches of oak (Quercus spp.), gum (Nyssa spp.), and cypress (Taxodium spp.) near major streams, as compared to the mainly longleaf-slash pine forests of the warmer Southern Coastal Plain (75). Its low terraces, marshes, dunes, barrier islands, and beaches are underlain by unconsolidated sediments. Poorly drained soils are common, and the region has a mix of coarse and finer textured soils compared to the mostly coarse soils in the majority of ecoregion 75. Ecoregion 63 is typically lower, flatter, less dissected, more poorly drained, and more marshy than ecoregion 65 to the west. Pine plantations for pulpwood and lumber are typical, with some areas of cropland.'
We have divided the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain of North Carolina into seven level IV ecoregions: Chesapeake-Pamlico Lowlands and Tidal Marshes (63b), Nonriverine Swamps and Peatlands (63c), Virginian Barrier Islands and Coastal Marshes (63d), Mid-Atlantic Flatwoods (63e), Carolinian Barrier Islands and Coastal Marshes (63g), Carolina Flatwoods (63h), and Mid-Atlantic Floodplains and Low Terraces (63n). 63b. Chesapeake-Pamlico Lowlands and Tidal Marshes The Chesapeake-Pamlico Lowlands and Tidal Marshes occur on the lowest marine terrace with elevations ranging from sea level to about 25 feet. The western boundary of 63b generally occurs at the Suffolk Scarp. The region is characterized by nearly level plains with some broad shallow valleys, seasonally wet soils (Aquults), brackish and freshwater streams, and broad estuaries affected by wind tides. The region extends north into Maryland and surrounds most of the Chesapeake Bay. It is flatter and lower in elevation than 63e, with a slightly longer growing season than 63e and 65m. Some major areas of cropland are found in the region, growing corn, wheat, soybeans, and potatoes. The region once had large areas of nonriverine wet hardwood forests, now one of the most endangered natural community types in North Carolina (Schafale 1999). Lake Mattamuskeet, the largest natural lake in North Carolina at about 18 miles long and 6 miles wide, is located in this region. The lake is generally shallow but provides valuable wintering areas for geese, swans, ducks, and other birds. Large-scale drainage operations to convert the lake bottom to farmland began around 1914, but the idea was abandoned as impractical and expensive. i -63c. Nonriverine Swamps and Peatlands Nonriverine Swamps and Peatlands are flat, poorly drained areas containing organic soils of peat and, muck. The dark reddish-brown to black soils, acidic and nutrient-poor, often contain logs, stumps, and other woody matter from bald cypress (Taxodium disticum) and Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides) trees. Pocosin lakes occur in some areas. The vegetation of the high and low pocosins contains a dense shrub layer, along with stunted pond pine (Pinus serotina), swamp red bay (Persea palustris), and sweet bay (Magnolia virginiana). Swamp forests are dominated by swamp tupelo (Nyssa biflora), bald cypress (Taxodium disticum), and Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides). Fire during drought periods, logging, and construction of drainage ditches have affected natural vegetation patterns. Several areas of mineral and shallow organic soils have been drained and cultivated for crops of corn, soybeans, and wheat. The region extends just into southern Virginia to cover the northern portion of the Dismal Swamp. 63d. Virginian Barrier Islands and Coastal Marshes Virginian Barrier Islands and Coastal Marshes occur in the northeast corner of.North Carolina and contain salt, brackish and freshwater marshes, dunes, beaches, and barrier islands that enclose Currituck Sound. The Quaternary-age deposits of unconsolidated sand, silt, and clay form dynamic landscapes affected by ocean wave, tide, wind, and river energy. The boundary with the Carolinian Barrier Islands and Coastal Marshes (63g) is a broad transition zone. The nearshore ocean water, influenced by the longshore Virginia Current, tends to be colder than in most of 63g, especially south of Cape Hatteras, where warmer Gulf Stream waters occur. On the barrier islands, northern beach grass (Ammophila breviligulata) and deciduous oaks are typical, compared to the sea oats (Uniola paniculata) and evergreen live oak (Quercus virginiana) more commonly found to the south in 63g. Salt marshes are dominated by saltmarsh and saltmeadow cordgrasses (Spartina alterniflora, S. patens) and black needlerush (Juncus roemarianus), while the freshwater marshes of upper Currituck Sound contain big cordgrass (Spartina cynosuroides), sawgrass (Cladiumjamaicense), bulrush (Scirpus americanus), cattail (Typha latifolia, T. angustifolia), and wild rice (Zizania aquatica). The marshes provide wintering habitat for snow geese, Canada geese, tundra swans, and several species of ducks and wading birds. Piping plover and loggerhead sea turtles occasionally nest along the beaches. 63e. Mid-Atlantic Flatwoods
The Mid-Atlantic Flatwoods occupies the middle portion of the coastal plain in northern North Carolina and southern Virginia. Upland surfaces are wider, lower in elevation, with less local relief, and have more poorly drained soils compared to Ecoregion 65m. Soils such as Aquults and some Udults formed in the mostly Pleistocene-age clays and sands. With slow natural subsurface drainage, except near streams, artificial drainage is common for agriculture and forestry operations. Corn, peanuts, and cotton are typical crops. Although similar to 63h, the Mid-Atlantic Flatwoods historically had a lower frequency of fire, less longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), and a different mix of grasses than in 63h. There are fewer Carolina bays, and the region tends to be biologically less diverse than 63h in terms of plants and aquatic macroinvertebrates. 63g. Carolinian Barrier Islands and Coastal Marshes The Carolinian Barrier Islands and Coastal Marshes region covers most of the North Carolina coast, extending from Bodie Island in the north to North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in the south. Similar to 63d along the coast in northern North Carolina and southern Virginia, the region contains marshes, dunes, beaches, and barrier islands, but it tends to be slightly warmer and wetter. In the north, the boundary with 63d is transitional, and there is a high diversity of vegetation in the maritime forests in the boundary area where northern and southern maritime forests overlap, such as at Nags Head Woods. The maritime forests include live oak (Quercus virginiana), sand laurel oak (Quercus hemisphaerica), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda),; red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), dwarf palmetto (Sabal minor), with cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto) in the southern portion of the region. The region encloses Pamlico Sound, a shallow estuary supporting an important nursery for 90 percent of all the commercial seafood species caught in North Carolina, as well as for vast recreational fisheries.
- -- -63h. Carolina Flatwoods w--:.
,a
' ti '
, Thenearly levelcoastal plain of the Carolina Flatwoods has less relief, wider upland surfaces, and larger.;
areas of poorly drained soils than the adjacent, higher elevation Ecoregion 651. Covered by shallow coastal waters during the Pleistocene, the resultant terraces and shoreline-related landforms are covered typically by fine-loamy and coarse-loamy soils, with periodically high water tables. Other areas have clayey, sandy, or organic soils, contributing to the region's plant diversity. Carolina bays and pocosins are abundant in some areas. The region is a significant center of endemic biota, with more biological diversity and rare species compared to 63e to the north (Hall et al., 1999). Pine flatwoods, pine savannas, freshwater marshes, pond pine woodlands, pocosins, and some sandhill communities were once common. The boundary with 63e to the north is transitional. It is near the northern limits of wiregrass (Aristida stricta) and near the northern extent of the Southern Mixed Hardwood Forest as drawn by Quarterman and Keever (1962). In general, fewer longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) were found north of this region, although the longleaf pine range did extend into southern Virginia. The presettlement fire frequency was 1-3 years in this region compared to 4-6 years or more in regions to the north (Frost 1995). The boundary with 65m and 651 to the west generally corresponds to the Surry Scarp, and the boundary cuts further inland to include the distinctive Bladen lakes area within 63h. The Bladen lakes area of Bladen and Cumberland counties is a large area of eolian sands containing numerous Carolina bays and a vast complex of pocosin and flatwoods communities. Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) plantations are now widespread with an active forest industry, especially to the south in South Carolina. Artificial drainage for forestry and agriculture is common. North Carolina's blueberry industry is concentrated on some of the sandy, acidic soils of the region. 63n. Mid-Atlantic Floodplains and Low Terraces The Mid-Atlantic Floodplains and Low Terraces are mostly a continuation of the riverine Ecoregion 65p, although a few floodplains mapped in this region originate within Ecoregion 63. Large, sluggish rivers, deep-water swamps, and some oxbow lakes characterize 63n. The alluvial deposits of the floodplains and terraces tend to have abrupt textural changes. Brownwater floodplains originate in or cross the Piedmont (45) and the sediments contain more weatherable minerals than the blackwater floodplains that have their watersheds entirely within the coastal plain. The blackwater rivers tend to have variable flow regimes, acidic
water low in nutrients and colored by tannins but clear. Cypress-gum swamps (Taxodium distichum, T. ascendens, Nyssa aquatica, NKbiflora) are common, along with bottomland hardwoods of wetland oaks (Quercus michauxii, Q. nigra, Q. phellos), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), red maple (Acer rubrum), and hickories (Carya aquatica, C. ovata, C. cordiformis). Vegetation communities along the blackwater floodplains and terraces tend to be less diverse than those in brownwater floodplains and terraces (Schafale and Weakley 1990).
- 65. Southeastern Plains These irregular plains with broad interstream areas have a mosaic of cropland, pasture, woodland, and forest. Natural vegetation was mostly longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), with smaller areas of oak-hickbry-pine.
On some moist sites, especially in the far south near Florida, Southern mixed forest occurred with beech (Fagus grandifolia), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), laurel and live oaks (Quercus laurifolia, Q. virginiana), and various pines. The longleaf pine forests had a diversity of age classes, structure, and species in response to environmental gradients and natural disturbances. Over the past three centuries, naval stores or pine tar production, logging, open range cattle and feral hog grazing, agriculture, and fire suppression removed almost all of the longleaf pine forests. The Cretaceous or Tertiary-age sands, silts, and clays of the region contrast geologically with the older metamorphic and igneous rocks of the Piedmont (45) and Blue Ridge (66). Elevations and relief are greater than in the Southern Coastal Plain (75), but generally less than in much of the Piedmont or in the more mountainous Blue Ridge. streams in this area are relatively low-gradient and sandy-bottomed. Ecoregion 65 has similarities to defined regions in the other major land classification systems. The Southern Coastal Plain MLRA includes this ecoregion within it (USDA, SCS 1981), and it is-within the:- . Coastal Plainsgand Flatwoods, Lower Section of the USFS (Bailey-et al., 1994; Keys et al.,-1995>)The.- ecoregion has been divided into four level IV ecoregions within North Carolina: Sand Hills (65c), Atlantic Southern Loam Plains (651), Rolling Coastal Plain (65m), and Southeastern Floodplains and Low Terraces (65p). ,65c. Sand Hills The Sand Hills are a rolling to hilly region composed primarily of Cretaceous-age marine sands and clays, capped in places with Tertiary sands, deposited over the crystalline and metamorphic rocks of the Piedmont (45). It tends to be more dissected, rolling and hilly than adjacent 651, with a dense drainage network, and with a different mix of soils. Many of the droughty, low-nutrient soils formed in thick beds of sand, although some soils contain more loamy and clayey horizons. Sandy soils such as Candor and Lakeland are on-the ridgetops, while more clayey soils such as Gilead and Vaucluse are on the valley slopes. Some upland areas are underlain by plinthite, and sideslopes tend to have fragipans that perch water and cause lateral flow and seepage. Stream flow is consistent; streams seldom flood or dry up because of the large infiltration capacity of the sandy soil and the great ground-water storage capability of the sand aquifer (Winner and Coble 1996). I t w On drier sites, turkey oak (Quercus laevis) and blackjack oak (Quercus marilandica) grow with longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) and a wiregrass (Aristida stricta) ground cover. Shortleaf-loblolly pine forests and other oak-pine forests are now more widespread due to fire suppression and logging. The Sand Hills are a center of rare plant diversity in the Carolinas. The region in most areas has soils that are poorly suited to crops due to the droughtiness and rapid leaching of plant nutrients. Many areas are in woodland, and some areas are used for pasture. Portions of the region are also known for their peach orchards, golf courses, and horse farms. The western (or northwestern) boundary is defined fairly well by boundary coincidences illustrated by geology, surficial geology, and soils maps. Parts of the eastern (or southeastern) boundary for this region appear obvious, where there is a close coincidence in the major breaks depicted by soils, topography, and to some degree landcover, but other parts are not as easily defined. In Scotland and Hoke counties the boundary tends to correspond to the Orangeburg Scarp. It does not extend further to the southeast where the
Cretaceous Middendorf Formation (Km) ends, as depicted on the state geology map (North Carolina Geological Survey 1985). Some aquatic ecologists suggested our boundary be moved further southeast, as streams coming out of the Sand Hills maintain those regional characteristics downstream. Along Rockfish Creek, there are also some excessively drained sandy soils, but this area overall does not have the regional patterns of the hilly, more dissected Sand Hills. 651. Atlantic Southern Loam Plains The Atlantic Southern Loam Plains ecoregion is lower, flatter, more gently rolling, with finer-textured soils than 65c. It is a major agricultural zone, with deep, well-drained soils, and more cropland than 65c or 63h. The sedimentary formations are younger than those of the Sand Hills (65c) and older and more dissected than the flatter terraces of the Carolina Flatwoods (63h). The flora is varied due to the variety of edaphic conditions, but is generally more mesic than found in 65c, and more xeric than in much of 63h. The' region has a high concentration of Carolina bays. These are shallow, elliptical depressions, often swampy or wet in the middle with dry sandy rims. Carolina bays not drained for agriculture often contain rare or endangered plant and animal species. Ecoregion 651 stretches from Georgia in the south to the Cape Fear River in North Carolina in the north. There were disagreements among researchers in North and South Carolina about where the level m boundary should be placed between ecoregion 65 and 63. Our early draft maps kept the boundary to the north of the Lumber River in the NC/SC border area. The 651/ 63h boundary in Bladen and Columbus counties of North Carolina is not easily discerned, and it is a fuzzy transitional mosaic of characteristics from each region. Scarps, where they are even detectable, do not appear to always be the best division between the 63- and 65 ecoregions. In North Carolina, the consensus was to -move the boundary south of the Lumber River to-cover some of the rolling, loamy soil, cropland areas, and in this area the boundary is close : to the Surry Scarp. From Tabor City, NC, the boundary angles back toward Nichols, SC, near the Lumber! River. -- 65m. Rolling Coastal Plain The dissected Rolling Coastal Plain extends south from Virginia and covers much of the northern upper coastal plain of North Carolina. Relief, elevation, dissection, and stream gradients are generally greater than in Ecoregion 63 to the east, and soils tend to be better drained. It has a slightly cooler and shorter growing season than 651, but is a productive agricultural region with typical crops of corn, soybeans, tobacco, cotton, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and wheat. The region appears to be biologically less diverse than the coastal plain regions 651 and 63h to the south. The boundary on the west occurs in the transitional Fall Zone to the Piedmont. 45f to the west is lithologically distinct and has higher elevations. 65m's boundary on the east with 63e and 63h is also transitional in places, although in some sections to the south it corresponds with the Surry Scarp. In other areas, the patterns of higher proportions of well-drained soils and Udults and more rolling terrain characteristic of ecoregion 65 versus the flatter surfaces and more Aquults of ecoregion 63 do not always appear to correspond with the scarp and terraces, and in many areas the scarp is difficult to define. 65p. Southeastern Floodplains and Low Terraces Southeastern Floodplains and Low Terraces comprise a riverine ecoregion that provides important wildlife corridors and habitat. Composed of alluvium and terrace deposits of sand, clay, and gravel, the region includes large sluggish rivers and backwaters with ponds, swamps, and oxbow lakes. It includes oak-dominated bottomland hardwood forests (Quercus michauxii, Q. nigra, Q. phellos, Acer rubrum, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Carya aquatica, C. ovata, C. cordiformis), and some river swamp forests of bald cypress or pond cypress (Taxodium distichum, T. ascendens) and water tupelo and swamp tupelo (Nyssa aquatica, N. biflora). Similar to 63n, the flood-prone region includes brownwater floodplains and blackwater floodplains. The brownwater floodplains originate in or cross the Piedmont (45) and the sediments contain more weatherable and mixed minerals than the blackwater floodplains that have their watersheds entirely within
the coastal plain. The low terraces are mostly forested, although some cropland or pasture occurs in some areas that are better drained.
- 66. Blue Ridge The Blue Ridge level HI pcoregion extends from southern Pennsylvania to northern Georgia, varying from narrow ridges to hilly plateaus to more massive mountainous areas with high peaks. The Blue Ridge is part of one of the richest temperate broadleaf forests in the world, with a high diversity of flora and fauna.
From a national scale, the potential natural vegetation within North Carolina consists mostly of Appalachian oak forests (Kuchler 1964), but a variety of oak, hemlock, cove hardwoods, and pine communities comprise this general class. Many Blue Ridge forests were once dominated by the American chestnut (Castanea dentata), an ecologically and economically important tree that provided food and shelter to many animal species. A fungal disease, the Chestnut blight, introduced to the U.S. around 1904, killed most all of the chestnut trees by the 1930's. Root sprouts and small, young saplings can be found today, but they do not survive. In place of the chestnut, other trees, such as tulip poplar (Liriondendron tulipifera), chestnut oak (Quercus montana), white oak (Q. alba), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), red maple (Acer rubrum), and pine species have become the important canopy dominants. Fauna in the Blue Ridge include black bear, whitetail deer, wild boar, turkey, grouse, songbirds, many species of amphibians and reptiles, thousands of species of invertebrates, and a variety of small mammals. The ecoregion within North Carolina is characterized by floristically diverse forested slopes; high gradient, cool, clear streams with rocks and boulders; and rugged terrain on primarily metamorphic bedrock (gneiss, schist, and quartzites). Soils are mostly mesic, udic Dystrudepts and Hapludults. Elevations generally range from 1000-5000 feet, with ,Mount Mitchell, the highest point in North Carolina, and highest in the U.S.2east of the Mississippi River, Breaching 6684 feet. Annual precipitation ranges from 40 inches in the Asheville Basin to more than 100 inches on some of the higher peaks in the wetter areas in the southern part of the state. Forest-related land uses occur along with some small areas of pasture, apple orchards, and Fraser fir Christmas tree farms. Low-density recreational activities in forested settings have also become a typical land-use. Recreation activities such as rafting, kayaking, hiking, cycling, fishing, hunting, and camping are increasingly popular activities -on the the public lands of the Blue Ridge. The ecoregion in North Carolina contains nine level IV ecoregions: New River Plateau (66c), Southern, Crystalline Ridges and Mountains (66d), Southern Sedimentary Ridges (66e), Southern Metasedimentary Mountains (66g), High Mountains (66i), Broad Basins (66j), Amphibolite Mountains (66k), Eastern Blue Ridge Foothills (661), and Sauratown Mountains (66m). 66c. New River Plateau The New River Plateau is a high, hilly plateau that extends north into the Virginia Blue Ridge. The region has less relief and a different land cover mosaic than surrounding Blue Ridge ecoregions. It has less dense woodland and forest cover, and more land devoted to pasture, orchards, cropland, livestock and dairy farms, and Christmas tree production. Elevations are generally between 2500-3500 feet, with a few higher peaks, Oak (Quercus spp.) dominates most of the forests, with beech (Fagus grandifolia), birch (Betula alleghaniensis), hemlock (Tsuga ganadensis), and poplar (Liriondendron tulipifera) on more moist sites and pines on drier areas. Fish and madroinvertebrate communities are likely to likely to be distinct compared to adjacent regions. Aquatic macroinvertebrate communities are somewhat different in the New River basin than other Blue Ridge regions (Dave Lenat, NCDENR, personal communication). The New River Plateau ecoregion, however, does not include all of the headwaters of the New River basin. The Plateau ecoregion boundary is relatively distinct, made evident by the break in topograghy and landcover differences. The southern portion of the boundary was more difficult to define. The area around the Ashe/Watauga County line, from the Othello/Beaver Creek area southwest to Boone appears to have slightly greater relief than the rest of the region to the north, beginning a transition to 66d. 66d. Southern Crystalline Ridges and Mountains
The Southern Crystalline Ridges and Mountains occur primarily on Precambrian-age igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks, in contrast to the sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks of 66e and 66g. The crystalline rock types are mostly gneiss and schist, covered by well-drained, acidic, loamy soils. Some small areas of mafic and ultramafic rocks also occur, producing more basic soils. The heterogeneous region has greater relief and higher elevations than 661, 66c, and 66j. Topographic break and soil types help define the boundary between 66d and 45a, 45e. Elevations of this rough, dissected region are generally 12004500 feet, with some higher peaks. The southern part of the region, south of Asheville, is wetter than the north. In the ecoregion meetings, discussions occurred about making the southern, wetter portion of 66d a separate region. Other than precipitation amounts and some anecdotal evidence, however, the differences were not well documented, and the consensus was to not split the region. Other consideration was also given to delineating a Blue Ridge Front or escarpment region on the eastern edge of 66d, or combining the escarpment with 661. Although the escarpment might be drier than much of 66d, that area tends to be steeper with more relief and not as dry as much of the 661 foothills region. 66d is mostly forested, with chestnut oak (Quercus montana) and other oaks now dominating on most slopes and ridges, earlier dominated by American chestnut (Castanea dentata). Cove forests are common, and northern hardwoods forests are found at higher elevations. There are a few small areas of pasture, apple orchards, Fraser fir Christmas tree farms, or minor cropland at lower elevations. 66e. Southern Sedimentary Ridges The Southern Sedimentary Ridges ecoregion occurs primarily in Tennessee and Virginia. In North Carolina, it consists of small areas near the Tennessee border in western Ashe, Watauga, Mitchell, Yancy, and Madison counties. The disjunct areas contain Cambrian-age sedimentary rocks of shale, sandstone, siltstone, conglomerate, and dolomite. Some metasiltstone or metasandstone occurs, but it is material of very.. -low-grade metamorphism. One of the larger areas, in-Madison County, is associated with the Hot-Springs ;- Window, an opening where the major thrust sheet was eroded to expose -younger, underlying rocks such as the Shady Dolomite and Rome Formation shale and siltstone. Slopes of the region are typically steep and forested, with elevations mostly between 1500 to 4900 feet. The boundary with 66d generally follows the contact between the igneous/metamorphic crystalline rocks of that region and 66e's sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks. The Southern Metesedimentary Mountains (66g) ecoregion contains metasedimentary materials that are generally of a higher metamorphic grade than 66e. 66g. Southern Metasedimentary Mountains The Southern Metasedimentary Mountains in North Carolina contain rocks that are not as strongly metamorphosed as the gneisses and schists of 66d. The geologic materials are mostly late Pre-Cambrian and include metagraywacke, metasiltstone, metasandstone, metaconglomerate, slate, schist, phyllite, and quartzite. These are steep, dissected, biologically-diverse mountains that are'densely forested. The Appalachian oak forests and, at higher elevations, the northern hardwoods forests include a variety of oaks and pines, as well as silverbell (Helesia tetraptera), hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), tulip poplar (Liriondendron tulipifera), basswood (Tilia americana), buckeye (Aesculus flava), yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis), and beech (Fagus grandifolia). The region supports complex and numerous plant communities and a great diversity of plant species. Much of the region is public land managed by the National Park Service or U.S. Forest Service. A northern disjunct portion of this region covers the Linville Gorge / Grandfather Mountain Window area in Watauga, Avery, McDowell, and Burke counties. Although there are likely to be some ecological differences from the main portion of 66g to the southwest, the geology and soils suggest this northern area is more similar to 66g than to the surrounding 66d. 66i. High Mountains The High Mountains ecoregion includes several disjunct high-elevation areas generally above 4500 feet. The region has a more severe, boreal-like climate than surrounding regions, with wind and ice affecting vegetation, and it has frigid soils rather than mesic soils. Evergreen red spruce (Picea rubens) and Fraser fir
(Abies fraseri) forests are found at the higher elevations, and red oak (Quercus rubra) forests and northern hardwood forests with beech (Fagus grandifolia), yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis), yellow buckeye (Aesculus flava), and sugar maple (Acer sacharrum) are common. The spruce-fir forests have been affected by the balsam wooly adelgid (Adelges piceae), a non-native insect that kills mature Fraser firs, and some forest growth declines are possibly linked to air pollutants. Heath balds donuinated by evergreen rhododendron (Rhododendron catawbiense, R. carolinianum, R. maximum) and mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia),-and grassy balds of mountain oat grass (Danthonia compressa) and other herbaceous and shrub species are found on some slopes and ridgetops. Northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus), Blackburnian warblers (Dendroica fusca), black-capped chickadees (Parus atricapillus), and common ravens (Corvus corax) are seen in this region. It also provides habitat for the saw-whet owl (Aegolius acadicus), a species of special concern in North Carolina. 66j. Broad Basins The Broad Basins ecoregion is drier, has lower elevations and less relief than the more mountainous Blue Ridge regions (66g, 66d). It also has less bouldery colluvium than those two surrounding regions and more saprolite. The soils are mostly deep, well-drained, loamy to clayey Ultisols, although there are soil variations between the uplands, the high and low terraces, and the floodplains within the region. The Asheville basin has the lowest annual precipitation amounts in North Carolina, receiving less than 42 inches. Compared to the higher mountainous ecoregions of 66, the Broad Basins have a mix of oaks and pines more similar to the Piedmont (45), with more shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) and Virginia pine (P. virginiana), and white oak (Quercus alba), southern red oak (Q. falcata), black oak (Q. velutina), and scarlet oak (Q. coccinea). Although some areas of this rolling foothills region are mostly forested, overall it has more pasture, cropland, industrial; land uses, and human settlement than other Blue Ridge ecoregions. Outlines of ~abandoned fields with pine-hardwood succession are apparent on many-lower slopes. The ecoregion has four disjunct areas that occur in North Carolina; Georgia, and Tennessee. 66k. Amphibolite Mountains Similar to some parts of 66d, the Amphibolite Mountains are a botanically diverse area with many rare
.species, including some relict and disjunct species from areas much further north. The rugged, steeply sloping mountains are composed of Precambrian amphibolite and gneiss. The amphibolite, a metamorphosed black volcanic rock, formed from lavas that spilled on the floor of a shallow sea, mixing with layers of mud, sand, and volcanic ash. In some areas this rock weathers to produce shallow soils high in calcium and magnesium, and less acidic than most Appalachian soils. Oak forests (formerly American chestnut forests) dominate on south, east, and west facing slopes with an understory of Catawba rhododendron (Rhododendron catawbiense), mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia), flame azalea (Rhododendron calendulaceum), and dogwood (Cornus alternifolia.). Cove forests and northern hardwood forests are found on north slopes, and include sugar maple (Acer sacharrum), ash (Fraxinus americana),
yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis), tulip poplar (Liriondendron tulipifera), and basswood (Tilia americana). 661. Eastern Blue Ridge Foothills The open low mountains of the Eastern Blue Ridge Foothills are lower in elevation (1000-2800 feet) than most Blue Ridge regions and have more Piedmont influences. The region includes the Brushy Mountains in the north and the South Mountains to the south. Covered with mixed oak and oak-hickory-pine forests, these mountains tend to be slightly drier and warmer than most of Ecoregion 66. The South Mountains contain forested areas that harbor many uncommon or rare plant species, including turkey beard (Xerophyllum asphodeloides) on xeric ridges and one of North America's rarest orchids, the small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides). The boundary with the Piedmont (45) is based mostly on the break in relief and topography, soils, and land cover differences. In some regional schemes for North Carolina these foothills are considered as part of the Piedmont (e.g., Stuckey 1965, Keys et al., 1995, Lonsdale 1967), although several other regional
frameworks place them with the Blue Ridge (Barnes and Marschner 1933, NCCGIA 1997, Daniels et al., 1999). The ruggedness of the terrain, the soil characteristics, the land use and landcover, and the mostly direct connection with the Blue Ridge suggested to us a more mountainous classification for this area. 66m. Sauratown Mountains The prominent ridges and knobs of the Sauratown Mountains rise more than 1000 feet above the rolling Piedmont (45) surface. Sometimes called monadnocks or inselbergs, these isolated mountain outliers are formed in part by their caps of erosion-resistant, nearly horizontally-bedded quartzite. Pilot Mountain, the small, disjunct piece of the region, has an elevation of 2,421 feet and is a conspicuous inselberg in the area, once serving as a navigational landmark by Native Americans, early traders and settlers. The region has both Piedmont and Blue Ridge vegetation communities: mostly oak and oak-pine forests with some Canadian and Carolina hemlock (Tsuga canadensis, T. caroliniana) in moist areas. Other mountain flora found here include rhododendron and azalea (Rhododendron spp.), galax (Galax urceolata), mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia), pitch pine (Pinus rigida), table mountain pine (P. pungens), and various ferns. 3/4 9.

Program Narrative The Nature Conservancy's North Carolina Chapter began its prescribed fire program in 1985 in the Green Swamp in the Southeast Coastal Plain. The chapter currently has 13 preserves covering 20,000 acres under fire management. Four additional preserves are targeted for future fire management. For the past decade, the chapter has conducted prescribed burns on an ecosystem level. These burns are designed and timed to mimic fire regimes under which the natural communities evolved, while also protecting and promoting the associated indigenous rare species. North Carolina conducts prescribed burns year-round, but mostly in the growing season to mimic wildfires as a key process. The chapter uses a nomadic fire crew which they share with the South Carolina and Virginia chapters of TNC, along with trained volunteers. Conservancy staff have developed preserve goals and state transition models for major natural communities with support from the NC Natural Heritage Program. Research and monitoring focus on rare species and experimental burns. TNC will redirect the fire I .i.I.;. management if its ecological goals are not achieved as determined by post-burn evaluations. The Neck a fire-dependent longleaf pine savanna in Green NC Photo by North Carolina Field Office staff The longleaf pine communities on the Conservancy's coastal preserves are renowned for their high diversity of herbaceous species (often more than 30 species per square meter) and endemic species such as Venus flytrap (Dionea muscipula), and rough-leaf loosestrife
(Lysimachia asperulifolia). Frequent fires (1-10 year return intervals) are critical to maintain the open character of the savannas. Open conditions are an important environmental factor for the health and persistence of associated rare species such as the red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Venus flytrap moth (Hemipachnobia subporphyrea), the Harper's wireleaf dropseed (Sporobulus teretifolius), and the pineland plantain (Plantago sparsiflora). The chapter's staff also conducts prescribed burns in three clay-based Carolina bay preserves located in the inner coastal plain. Carolina bays are shallow, elliptical depressions that are seasonally wet and provide critical breeding habitat for amphibians such as the tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum), dwarf salamander (Eurycea quadridigitata), and Carolina gopher frog (Rana capito capito). They also support rare plant species such as Canby's cowbane (Oxypolis canbyil), and the awned meadow beauty (Rhexia aristosa). Prescribed burning helps to restore the longleaf pine communities on the sandy bay rim, and maintains open conditions in cypress savannas in the bays themselves. Past fire suppression allowed loblolly pines to become established on the bay rim and seed into the bays. If there is no fire to kill loblolly pine seedlings and consume organic matter in bays, succession toward pine forest in the bays seems to accelerate. Bays with a heavy loblolly pine canopy are no longer suitable habitat for the rare species targeted for protection. Smoke management is the greatest challenge when prescribed burning here, especially as more and more development occurs in the surrounding area. Pretty Pond Bay, four months after a growing season prescribed burn Photo by Margit Bucher The chapter is also using prescribed burning in the restoration and management of Piedmont prairies near Charlotte, and to maintain an
open habitat for rare pitcher plants in a seepage bog in the southern Appalachians. A Major Project Overview The Green Swamp Preserve (15,729 acres), located in southeastern North Carolina, has extensive, contiguous areas of organic soils (13,900 acres) supporting pocosin and pondpine woodland. These communities form 3-10 foot tall thickets of evergreen shrubs which are difficult to traverse. They have high fuel loads (10-20 tons/acre), and are notorious for erratic fire behavior. Organic soils, high fire intensity, erratic fire behavior, sea breezes, and extreme difficulty in establishing fire breaks create challenging conditions for prescribed burning as well as wildfire control (which is quite important to the surrounding timber plantations). Pocosin fuels tend to either not burn or burn with great intensity from late February though May, the fire season in North Carolina. Experimental pocosin bums in the Green Swamp. The unit at the bottom was burned with wet organic soils, the unit in the back with dry soils. Photo courtesy of Gary Curcio, NC DFR So far, the North Carolina chapter has conducted two experimental burns in these systems in conjunction with the US Forest Service's Intermountain Fire Sciences Lab, with extensive support from the NC Division of Forest Service. The experimental burns supported lab results predicting the moisture content at which soils would ignite or extinguish.

$Uvann~BunIp)nlis ftc*I sum Unlt Po4 Pi sum Unia GIeen warmp P; eVu Map showing bum units within Green Swamp Preserve TNC monitors the vegetation response to the different depth of burns using permanent plots. The knowledge gained from these will feed into the stage transition models, future fuel maps, and future bum plans. The NC chapter needs customized fuel models for the range of developmental stages in the pocosin, more detailed mapping of the fuels, and more research into prescription parameters to conduct larger prescribed burns in pocosin. They also need to find ways to construct fire breaks with less severe long-term impacts than plow lines to effectively and safely prescribe burns and control wildfires with minimal impacts on the soils and plant communities.

I __ _ _ _ Cape Fear River Basin Water Supply Plan On 12 July 2000, the Environmental Management Commission's (EMIC) Water Allocation Committee directed the Division of Water Resources to prepare a Cape Fear River Basin Water Supply Plan by September 2001. The initial purpose of this Cape Fear River Basin plan is to give the EMC a review of long-range, basinwide water supply issues before making Jordan Lake water supply allocations (see Future Plans). The Cape Fear River Basin Water Supply Plan will in no way dictate the future water supply activities of local units of government. Rather, the plan will rely upon information provided by local governments in their own plans and on other public information to project long-range water supply needs and how those needs might be met. The plan will identify future water supply requirements and water supply sources for that portion of the Cape Fear River Basin located above Lock and Dam #1. The plan may evaluate several water use scenarios to determine their effects on Basin water resources. These scenarios should not be interpreted as recommendations of the Division of Water Resources.

John Cooper (crayfishes), Dale Schweitzer (various groups but especially moths), Bo Sullivan (butterflies and moths), and Duncan Cuyler (dragonflies and damselflies) have been especially helpful in assisting the Natural Heritage Program in the development of many of the invertebrate lists of rare species. Also, the Biological Monitoring group of the N.C. Division of Water Quality (especially Trish MacPherson, Kathy Herring, Dave Lenat, and Dave Penrose) drafted the lists of mayflies, stoneflies, and caddisflies for the previous (2001) publication; and Lenat drafted lists of additional aquatic insects, including beetles, for this 2004 publication. In addition to those above who helped compile the rare species lists, iother persons need to be acknowledged for providing data on rare species. Those who have made significant contributions (and not already listed above) include: Janice Allen, Hal Bain, Susan Campbell,^ MarkCantrell, Derb Carter, Jay Carter, Therese Conant, Sam Cooper, Bob Currie, Ricky Davis, Bob Dellinger, Phil Doerr, Aimee Fullerton, John Fussell, L.L.

1 NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM LIST OF THE RARE ANIMALS OF NORTH CAROLINA INTRODUCTION The attached list of animals represents those species of vertebrates and invertebrates for which the N.C. Natural Heritage Program (NC NHP) is collecting data - in files, on computer, and on topographic maps. This is not strictly a list of protected animals; in fact, the majority of these species receive no formal protection whatsoever. Rather, it is a list of species that are endangered, threatened, or otherwise occur in small or unknown numbers in the state. The primary functions of the list are its use: 1) in determining priorities of inventory and protection for these animals - including the proposed listing of species for federal or state protection; 2) in determining priorities for protection of natural areas that contain such listed animals; and 3) in environmental assessments to "flag" rare species and their locations that might be negatively affected by proposed actions. The majority of the vertebrates on the list are those species currently listed for state protection by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), based on lists of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), and Special Concern (SC) species developed nearly 15 years ago by Scientific Councils on mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, freshwater fishes, and mollusks. All of these species are included on this list, with the corresponding status listed in the "N.C. Status" column. (in addition, NC NHP is tracking other rare vertebrates and mollusks not given a formal state designation. These species are considered to be Significantly Rare [SR] in North Carolina.) As of March 2004, Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fishes, freshwater and terrestrial mollusks, and crustaceans are protected by state law, under the jurisdiction of the WRC. Protection for crustaceans (so far, only crayfishes) and certain venomous snakes was enacted in 2002. However, State law does not allow for protection of invertebrate groups other than mollusks and crustaceans. During 1997 and 1998, the Scientific Councils re-convened, prepared updated lists of species needing State protection, and submitted these lists to the WRC's Nongame Wildlife Advisory Committee. These lists were sent to the WRC for review; and approved in 1999. A recent change in State law requires any proposed legislation (such as lists of Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern species) must go to the State General Assembly; if there is no action by that body to overturn proposed legislation by, a specified date, the legislation becomes law. Fortunately, these lists became law on July 1, 2002. Since that date, a few Scientific Councils have met and made suggestions (though not formally) for changes in state statuses; those statuses are listed in parentheses next to the current status. The list of rare marine and estuarine fishes was presented in 1988 by the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences. Except for the federally listed Endangered Shortnose Sturgeon, all other marine and estuarine fishes were listed in 1988 as "Vulnerable, Category 2". Because the Atlantic Sturgeon also occurs in fresh waters, it has been listed by WRC as a Special Concern species, and thus it is listed in this publication under Freshwater Fishes (as is the state Endangered Shortnose Sturgeon). Marine and estuarine fishes are under the jurisdiction of the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries; however, this agency does not have a list of endangered, threatened, and special concern fishes. Beginning with this 2004
2 list, the NC NHP is no longer tracking (nor including on the Watch List) marine and estuarine fishes. This decision is not due to their lack of state listing; rather, we receive few data on such species, survey for such species can be cumbersome, protection of them is difficult if not impossible, and there has no been no recent systematic account of the rarity and distribution of the hundreds of such fishes that occur in our salt and brackish waters. NC NHP lists of rare invertebrates - other than mollusks and crustaceans - have been derived from multiple sources. These lists have been prepared in consultation with other biologists in North Carolina and in the eastern United States. Because none of the invertebrates - other than mollusks and crayfishes - have been given legal state protection by WRC as Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern, these species are given a status of Significantly Rare by NC NHP. For the same reasons as for marine and estuarine fishes given above, the NC NHP is no longer keeping marine invertebrates on its Rare or Watch lists. NC NHIP has also removed millipedes, scorpionflies, most beetles, ants, and annelids from its Watch List, primarily due to lack of new data on them and the apparent lack or scarcity of biologists working with these groups to provide data or provide updated lists of rare taxa.
3 LIST FORMAT Species are grouped by major taxa. The vertebrates are arranged by class, beginning with the most advanced phylogenetically (mammals). Within a given taxa, species are listed alphabetically by* scientific name. The following information is presented for each species on the list. "Status" is a word or phrase that indicates the degree of protection (if any), based on rarity, of a species; 'rank' is a numerical scale of the rarity of a species, regardless of legal protection. Scientific Name. Common Name. For most groups, these names are not standardized. North Carolina Status. Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fishes, freshwater and terrestrial mollusks, and crustaceans have legal protection status in North Carolina (Wildlife Resources Commission). In addition to the above categories, the Natural Heritage Program maintains computer and map files on Significantly Rare species, as well as species considered Extirpated. Paper files only are maintained for a few of the above species; these species are indicated by the phrase "not tracking." STATUS STATUS DEFINITION CODE E Endangered "Any native or once-native species of wild animal whose continued existence as a viable component of the State's fauna is determined by the Wildlife Resources Commission to be in jeopardy or any species of wild animal determined to be an 'endangered species' pursuant to the Endangered Species Act." (Article 25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes; 1987). T Threatened "Any native or once-native species of wild animal which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range, or one that is designated as a threatened species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act." (Article 25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes; 1987). SC Special Concern "Any species of wild animal native or once-native to North Carolina which is determined by the Wildlife Resources Commission to require monitoring but which may be taken under regulations adopted under the provisions of this Article." (Article 25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes; 1987). P_ Proposed Species has been proposed by a Scientific Council as a status (Endangered, Threatened, Special Concern, Watch List, or for De-listing) that is different from the current status, but the status has not yet been adopted by the General Assembly as law. In the lists of rare species in this book, these proposed statuses are listed in parentheses below the current status. Only those proposed statuses that are different from the current statuses are listed.
4 ST 'ATUS STATUS DEFINITION C1ODE SR Significantly Any species which has not been listed by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Rare Commission as an Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern species, but which exists in the state in small numbers and has been determined by the N.C. Natural Heritage Program to need monitoring. (This is a N.C. Natural Heritage Program designation.) Significantly Rare species include "peripheral" species, whereby North Carolina lies at the periphery of the species' range (such as Hermit Thrush). EX Extirpated A species which is no longer believed to occur in the state. (This is a N.C. Natural Heritage Program designation, though WRC also uses this status; the NHP list includes those on the WRC list.) W Watch List Any other species believed to be of conservation concern in the state because of scarcity, declining populations, threats to populations, or inadequacy of information to assess its rarity (see page 59 for a more complete discussion). (This is a N.C. Natural Heritage Program designation.) G Species is a game animal, and therefore (by law) cannot be listed for State protection as E, T, or SC.
5 United States Status. This status is designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Federally listed Endangered and Threatened species are protected under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended through the 100th Congress. Unless otherwise noted, definitions are taken from the FederalRegister, Vol. 56, No. 225, November 21, 1991 (50 CER Part 17). STATUS STATUS DEFINITION CODE E Endangered A taxon "which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range" (Endangered Species Act, Section 3). T Threatened A taxon "which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range" (Endangered Species Act, Section 3). FSC (Federal) "... the Service is discontinuing the designation of Category 2 species as Species of candidates in this notice. The Service remains concerned about these Concern species, but further biological research and field study are needed to [also known as resolve the conservation status of these taxa. Many species of concern Species at Risk] will be found not to warrant listing, either because they are not threatened or endangered or because they do not qualify as species under the definition in the [Endangered Species] Act. Others may be found to be in greater danger of extinction than some present candidate taxa. The Service is working with the States and other private and public interests to assess their need for protection under the Act. Such species are the pool from which future candidates for listing will be drawn." (FederalRegister, February 28, 1996). The Service suggests that such taxa be considered as "Species of Concern" or "Species at Risk", neither of which has official status. The N.C. Natural Heritage Program uses "(Federal) Species of Concern" in this document for those taxa formerly considered as Category 2. P_ Proposed Species proposed in the FederalRegister as a status different from its current Federal status.
6 STATUS STATUS DEFINITION CODE T (S/A) Threatened due "Section 4 (e) of the [Endangered Species] Act authorizes the treatment to Similarity of of a species (subspecies or population segment) as endangered or Appearance threatened even though it is not otherwise listed as endangered or threatened if - (a) the species so closely resembles in appearance an endangered or threatened species that enforcement personnel would have substantial difficulty in differentiating between the listed and unlisted species; (b) the effect of this substantial difficulty is an additional threat to an endangered or threatened species; and (c) such treatment of an unlisted species will substantially facilitate the enforcement and further the policy of the Act." (FederalRegister, November 4, 1997). [The American Alligator is listed as T (S/A) due to Similarity of Appearance with other rare crocodilians, and the southern population of the Bog Turtle is listed as T (S/A) due to Similarity of Appearance with the northern population of the Bog Turtle (which is federally listed as Threatened and which does not occur in North Carolina).] XN Nonessential "Section 10 (j) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, Experimental provides for the designation of introduced populations of federally listed Population species as nonessential experimental. This designation allows for greater flexibility in the management of these populations by local, state, and Federal agencies. Specifically, the requirement for Federal agencies to avoid jeopardizing these populations by their actions is eliminated and allowances for taking the species are broadened." (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1995). D De-listed Species has been proposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for de-listing from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. However, at the present time, the species is still on the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and is thus protected under the Endangered Species Act. Because such species still have legal Federal protection, the NHP will maintain existing records on the species, though new records might not necessarily be added. If the status becomes law prior to the next publication of the NHP Rare Animal List, the Program will remove the Federal designation from its database (and thus the species will no longer appear on printouts of Federally listed species). NHP may or may not continue to track the species, depending on its legal State status and other factors such as overall abundance and range in the state.
7 North Carolina Rank. North Carolina ranks are based on The Nature Conservancy's system of measuring rarity and threat status. This system is widely used by other agencies and organizations, as the best available scientific and objective assessment of a species' rarity at the state level. State ranks are assigned by biologists within each Natural Heritage Program. RANK NUMBER OF DESCRIPTION EXTANT POPULATIONS SI 1-5 Critically imperiled in North Carolina because of extreme rarity or because of some factor(s)' making it especially vulnerable to extirpation from North Carolina. S2 6-20 Imperiled in North Carolina because of rarity or because of some factor(s) making it very vulnerable to extirpation from North Carolina. S3 21-100 Rare or uncommon in North Carolina. S4 100-1000 Apparently secure in North Carolina, with many occurrences. S5 1000+ Demonstrably secure in North Carolina and essentially ineradicable under present conditions. SA 1-? Accidental or casual; one to several records for North Carolina, but the state is outside the normal range of the species. SH 0? Of historical occurrence in North Carolina, perhaps not having been verified in the past 20 years, and suspected to be still extant. SR - Reported from North Carolina, but without persuasive documentation which would provide a basis for either accepting or rejecting the report. SX 0 Apparently extirpated from North Carolina. SU - Possibly in peril in North Carolina but status uncertain; need more information. S? - Unranked, or rank uncertain. _B 1-? Rank of the breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only. _N 1-? Rank of the non-breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only. _Z_ 1-? Population is not of significant conservation concern. For example, the status "SZN" indicates that the population in the non-breeding seasons (generally in migration or in winter) is transitory, without any regular locales of occurrence whereby the species can be protected. Where a number is listed with the "B" or "N" modifier, there are definable locales of occurrence that can be identified for protection.
8 Global Rank. Global ranks are assigned by NatureServe (formerly the science branch of The Nature Conservancy) staff biologists and contract biologists, based on a consensus of scientific experts, the individual natural heritage programs, and the Natural Heritage Network. Global ranks apply to the status of a species throughout its range, and are based on data on the species' status rangewide. This system is widely used by other agencies and organizations, as the best available scientific and objective assessment of a species' rarity throughout its range. NOTE: Global ranks in brackets are those suggested by Scientific Councils in North Carolina, or by the N.C. Natural Heritage Program, and are not NatureServe's assigned ranks. These suggested ranks are listed below the TNC assigned ranks. In some cases, these suggested ranks were made to indicate that the Global Rank perhaps should be changed, with the taxa apparently more common in North Carolina than the Global Rank will allow (i.e., a rank of S3 G2 isn't technically allowed; thus, the global rank is suggested to be G3.) RANK NUMBER OF DESCRIPTION EXTANT POPULATIONS GI 1-5 Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extinction. G2 6-20 Imperiled globally because of rarity or because of some factor(s) making it very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range. G3 21-100 Either very rare and local throughout its range or found locally (even abundantly at some of its locations) in a restricted range (e.g., a single physiographic region) or because of other factors making it vulnerable to extinction throughout its range. G4 100-1000 Apparently secure globally, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery. G5 1000+ Demonstrably secure globally, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery. GH 0? Of historical occurrence throughout its range, i.e., formerly part of the established biota, with the expectation that it may be rediscovered. GX 0 Believed to be extinct throughout its range (e.g., Passenger Pigeon) with virtually no likelihood that it will be rediscovered. GU - Possibly in peril range-wide, but status uncertain; more information is needed. G? Unranked, or rank uncertain. G-Q -Questionable taxonomic assignment. T_ - The rank of a subspecies or variety. As an example, G4T1 would apply to a subspecies of a species with an overall rank of G4, but the subspecies warranting a rank of GI.
9 Phvsio~raphic Province/Region. The provinces/regions in which the animal is known to occur are indicated. This should not be regarded as the only province(s) or region(s) of the state in which the species could occur; our knowledge of the fauna of North Carolina, especially the invertebrates, is still very imperfect. The provinces are abbreviated as follows: M Mountains All parts of North Carolina west of the foot of the Blue Ridge Escarpment. P Piedmont All parts of North Carolina east of the foot of the Blue Ridge Escarpment and west of the Fall Line, including outlying "foothill" ranges, such as the Brushy, Uwharrie, and Sauratown mountains. S Sandhills The southwestern portion of the Coastal Plain province consisting mostly of deep aeolian sands of the Middendorf and Pinehurst formation (portions of Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Moore, Richmond, Scotland, and Montgomery counties). The Sandhills are actually part of the Coastal Plain but are here distinguished because of their distinctive geomorphology and vegetation. C Coastal Plain All parts of North Carolina east of the Fall Line, but excluding the Sandhills region and those portions associated with tidal water (ocean, sounds, barrier islands, and mainland brackish or salt marshes). T Tidewater That part of the state associated with tidal water, such as the ocean and barrier islands, sounds, estuaries, and mainland brackish or salt marshes. Habitat. The known, or the most typical, habitats are described briefly; as with provinces, these should not be regarded as the only possible habitats of the species in the state. Counties of occurrence. Following the description of habitats is a listing, in parentheses, of the known counties of occurrence of the records in the Natural Heritage Program database. For most vertebrate species, this listing of counties is complete or reasonably complete. However, for many invertebrates, and a few vertebrates (generally those newly added to the Rare List), there is no listing of counties, as records have yet to be added to the database. Where county names appear in brackets, records from these counties have not yet been added to the database.) Counties in which the element was last observed more than 20 years ago are marked with an asterisk (*). The asterisk does not necessarily mean that the species no longer exists in that county; simply, it means that the date of the last observation available to the Natural Heritage Program from that county is 1983 or earlier. Counties where no date of occurrence (e.g., data from an atlas/dot map) is available are marked with a plus (+). Without additional information, the Program has no way of knowing whether such data should be considered as current or historic (marked with *). Records from such references, atlases, and other lists that were published or made available to the Program from 1983 or earlier should be considered as historic, but the Program has not yet updated the database for these obscure date records.

59 NORTH CAROLINA ANIMAL WATCH LIST The North CarolinaAnimal Watch List includes animals that are rare or uncommon, are not well-studied, or are otherwise threatened with serious decline, but that are not placed on the List of Rare Animals of. North Carolina by the NC NBP. Watch List species are additional indicators of significant habitats, and their presence should be considered in planning natural area protection efforts, though obviously with less weight than higher priority rare species and natural communities. The NC NHP maintains paper files on these species, but does not include them in its map-and computer files. Animals placed on this list fall into a number of categories, as discussed below. The NC NHP requests additional information about these species in order to clarify their status and reclassify them into other appropriate and more specific categories. Reasons for the current placement of species on the Watch List rather than at a higher rarity status (Endangered, Threatened, Special Concern, Significantly Rare) are varied. For many of them, the Natural Heritage Program lacks adequate documentation of their historic or present occurrence in North Carolina; this is especially true for invertebrates. Others are known to be rare or uncommon in North Carolina, but may or may not be declining. Some others may not be necessarily rare as yet, but they are undergoing significant losses of their habitat, such as animals of the spruce-fir forest, or are undergoing significant disturbances to their habitat, such as human disturbances to beach-nesting birds. The following five Watch Categories have been devised to indicate the reasons for each species' current placement(s). These categories and the descriptions of them have been developed by the NC NiP. A number of species have been placed in two Watch Categories, because it is believed they may be "in trouble" for at least two reasons. For example, the Red-breasted Nuthatch has a rather small breeding population in the state, in the higher elevations of the mountains, giving it a W2 status. However, as a portion of the breeding population occurs in the spruce-fir zone, which is undergoing degradation of the canopy, it is also given a W5 status, as well. Watch Cateaorv 1 (WI) includes species that are known to be declining in North Carolina, for one reason or another. The distribution or population sizes of such species in the state are fairly well known; loss of habitat is not necessarily a factor. A large number of species are known to be declining in the state, such as Neotropical migrant birds, but the species in this category must have an N.C. Rank of S3S4 or higher (S3, S2, S1, etc.). Examples: American Black Duck, Slender Glass Lizard. Watch CateZorv 2 (W2) includes species that are rare to uncommon in North Carolina, but are not necessarily considered to be declining or otherwise in trouble. Generally speaking, the distribution or population sizes of such species in the state are fairly well known. Examples: Baltimore Oriole, Coal Skink Spotted Sunfish.
60 Watch Categorv 3 (W3) includes species that are poorly known in North Carolina, but are not necessarily considered to be declining or otherwise in trouble. The distribution and population sizes of such species are not well known; this is especially true for a large number of invertebrates, as well as secretive or nocturnal vertebrates. Examples: Striped Mud Turtle, Sandhills Salamander, Regal Darner. Watch Category 4 (W4) includes species reported from North Carolina without adequate documentation. These species should be listed at a higher level, if their reported occurrence in North Carolina is true. This category includes sight records of uncertain validity, old and vague reports for which no documentation has appeared, and, in a few cases, more recent reports for which we have not yet received documentation. Example: Cumberland Crayfish Ostracod. Watch Category 5 (W5) includes species with increasing amounts of threats to its habitat, whether or not populations are known to be declining. These threats can include loss of habitat (e.g., the dramatic loss of maritime forests), degradation of habitat (e.g., pollution and sedimentation of rivers and streams), and disturbance to the habitat (e.g., humans and their vehicles on beaches), among other types of threats. Threats can also include use of pesticides, acid rain, fire suppression, over-collection by zoologists, and varied other factors. Examples: American Kestrel, Georgia Satyr.

82 NORTH CAROLINA E] RPATED ANIMAL LIST. Scientific Name Common Name Status Rank Province: Habitat (Counties of occurrence) N.C. U.S. N.C. Global EXTIRPATED ANIMALS IN NORTH CAROLINA This is a list of all taxa considered by state biologists and NC NHP to be extirpated (N.C. Rank of SX) in'North Carolina. On past NC NHP rare animal lists, some such taxa were included in the Rare List, some were included in the Watch List, and others were not mentioned at all. Some of these taxa are Federally Listed, and some also have a state protected status (SC). However, as none are believed to presently occur in the state, with little or no hope of being re-discovered, we feel that they should be placed in a common section of this publication. For those species that have been tracked in the past, NC NHP will still keep records of their locations and keep other materials on file. (See pages 3-8 for status codes and definitions.) NOTE: Quite a few species that might be gone from NC are included in the Rare and Watch lists with an SH (= historic) rank, generally indicating that they have not been seen for over 20 years, but because of inadequate survey or other factors may well still exist in the state, or may be absent but expected to be found again in upcoming years.

84 POTENTIAL NEW TO NORTH CAROLINA ANIMALS The following list contains species of well-known animal groups that are not currently known to occur in North Carolina, or those species not currently known to breed in North Carolina, but which are considered to have some possibility of being found to occur on a regular basis or to breed in the state. The list is based on the species' currently known range and habitat preferences. Nearly all are species that occur in the adjacent states of South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, or Virginia, in habitats (or drainages) at least relatively similar to habitats known to exist in North Carolina. The purpose of this list is to encourage and challenge field workers to find new state occurrences and new breeding records. This list should give field investigators an idea of some of the species that may be regular components of North Carolina's fauna. (Species that might occur as single record accidentals, such as Western species of birds or Gulf Coast butterflies, are generally not included.) While some of these species may have relatively remote chances of being found in North Carolina, the likelihood of finding new state records is greatly increased by being aware of the possibilities and by species-directed searching. Our knowledge of many of our animal groups is still quite imperfect, especially invertebrate groups. Many natural areas are being destroyed before they can be investigated, and it can be assumed that a number of native species have been extirpated from North Carolina before they were ever documented as occurring in the state. Following each species is the North Carolina province in which the species is considered most likely to be found occurring or found breeding. Where possible, a description of the typical habitat of the species in the vicinity of North Carolina is also given. Sometimes, the nearest known occurrence(s) to North Carolina are also listed, with the distance from North Carolina in number of counties in brackets. For instance, [1] indicates that the species has been reported from a county immediately adjacent to North Carolina; [5] indicates that the species has been reported from a county five counties away from the North Carolina border. An average county width in and around North Carolina is about 25 miles, so [5] indicates an approximate distance from North Carolina of 100-125 miles. It should be obvious that a species known to occur south only to the Virginia mountains would be best searched for in North Carolina counties near the Virginia line, such as Ashe, Alleghany, and Watauga. Likewise, Coastal Plain species occurring north to South Carolina are most likely searched for in counties along the southern border, such as Brunswick and Columbus. The following additional symbols are used:
- May have occurred in North Carolina (no conclusive records) with the remote possibility of being conclusively found in the state
+ Known to occur in the state on a regular basis (as an Element Occurrence) but not known conclusively to breed, though suspected or assumed to breed; conclusive breeding records lacking NOTE: Since the last version of this publication in 2001, the following species have been found or reported in North Carolina and have been removed from the lists: Olympia Marble (Euchloe olympia) and Texan Crescent (Phyciodes texana seminole); plus, breeding evidence has been documented for Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus). MAMMALS There are very few terrestrial mammals that could be discovered for the first time in North Carolina; three of them - North American Porcupine, Shoeshoe Hare, and Fisher -- may have occurred in the mountains many decades or centuries ago, but reports are fuzzy or second-hand; they are included on the Extirpated List. Nearly all of the potential new-to-North Carolina mammals are cetaceans. A few cetaceans probably occur regularly in the Atlantic off North Carolina, but far offshore; however, most of them are primarily either subtropical or Arctic inhabitants and would be considered accidental in the state.
85 Balaenoptera edeni -- Bryde's Whale T: ocean, primarily in subtropical waters; VA (one record), GA Balaenoptera musculus - Blue Whale T: ocean, entire north Atlantic, far offshore; MD (one record) Peponocephala electra - Melon-headed Whale T: ocean, in subtropical waters; MD (one record) Phoca groenlandica - Harp Seal T: ocean, in cold waters north of NC; VA (one record) BIRDS The species below are all considered to be potential breeders in North Carolina; some may possibly be breeding already. All have been recorded from the state on numerous occasions; those marked by (+) are known to occur in summer in the state to an extent and probably are nesting, but conclusive evidence is lacking.

Rogers); possibly nested in NC mountains in 19th Century, but no summer records in many decades Cistothorus platensis - Sedge Wren T: brackish marshes; VA [3] (northern portion of Chesapeake Bay); several summer records from NC, mainly in brackish marshes, but these might be of wandering birds or migrants Contopus cooperi -- Olive-sided Flycatcher + [breeding records for TN side of Great Smoky Mountains NP]; no active nest has been found in NC [see Rare List] Dendroica magnolia - Magnolia Warbler + [breeding evidence needed]; no active nest yet found, but probably nests [see Rare List] Elanoides forficatus - Swallow-tailed Kite C: swamps, river bottoms; SC [2] (Santee River); numerous summer records, but nearly all believed to be of visitors/postbreeders; up to one-half-dozen birds, possibly including a family group, spent much of the summer 2003 along the Cape Fear River Empidonax flaviventris - Yellow-bellied Flycatcher M: high elevation spruce-fir, usually where stunted or young; VA [1] (Mt.

Rogers; no summer reports for NC Vermivora pinus -- Blue-winged Warbler + [breeding evidence needed]; no active nest yet found, but presumed to breed in southwestern counties [see Rare List] Vermivora ruficapilla -- Nashville Warbler M: spruce-fir forests, mainly along margins or in young or stunted trees; VA [6], but also a report from Mt. Rogers; no summer reports for NC REPTILES Graptemys geographica -- Map Turtle M: large rivers in the Tennessee drainage; VA [2], TN [1] Graptemys pseudogeographica -- False Map Turtle M: large rivers in the Tennessee drainage; TN [1-2] Nerodia cyclopion - Green Water Snake C: streams, lakes, ponds, marshes; SC [2] Ophisaurus compressus -- Island Glass Lizard TC: maritime or other coastal forests, in dryhabitats; SC [2] Trionyx ferox -- Florida Softshell C: lakes, ponds, rivers; SC [3] Trionyx muticus - Smooth Softshell M: large rivers in the Tennessee drainage; TN [2?] AMPHIBIANS Ambystoma cingulatum -- Flatwoods Salamander C: flatwoods, bottomlands, swamps; SC [2-3] Ambystoma jeffersonianum -- Jefferson Salamander M: low woods, bottomlands; VA [2] Ambystoma texanum - Smallmouth Salamander M: moist forests; TN [6]; ranges east to central TN Desmognathus welteri - Black Mountain Salamander M: along streams in mesic forests; TN [3] Eurycea lucifuga - Cave Salamander M: limestone caves and ledges; TN [1], VA [2] Gyrinophilus palleucus -- Tennessee Cave Salamander M: caves, in limestone areas; TN [2] Plethodon hoffmani - Valley and Ridge Salamander M: montane forests; VA [3-4]

Much sampling has occurred in the state near the Tennessee border for such species. The streams where they occur do extend into North Carolina; however, most of the streams where the fishes occur in Tennessee become high gradient near the border, with riffles and rapids preventing the fishes from occurring in North Carolina. A few reservoirs along the state line also block some species from entering the state. On the other hand, there are a number of species that occur within one or two counties of North Carolina that are not listed here; these are fishes in drainages that do not reach North Carolina, particularly the Chattahoochee and the Coosa in Georgia, the Clinch in Tennessee and Virginia, and the James in Virginia. Alosa chrysochloris - Skipjack Herring Reported from NC in the past few years, but not confirmed M: Tennessee drainages; TN [1] Cottus baileyi - Black Sculpin M: Tennessee drainages; TN [1], VA [1-2] Etheostoma caeruleum - Rainbow Darter M: Tennessee drainages; TN [1] Etheostoma camurum - Bluebreast Darter Reported from NC in the past few years, but not confirmed M: Tennessee drainages; TN [1] Etheostoma cinereum - Ashy Darter M: Tennessee drainages; TN [1-2] Etheostoma hopkinsi - Christmas Darter M: Savannah drainage; SC [1-2] Etheostoma kennicotti - Stripetail Darter M: Tennessee drainages; TN [1] Etheostoma osburni - Finescale Saddled Darter M: New drainage; VA [2] Fundulus catenatus - Northern Studfish M: Tennessee drainages; TN [1] Fundulus notatus - Blackstripe Topminnow M: Tennessee drainages; TN [1] Fundulus olivaceous - Blackspotted Topminnow M: Tennessee drainages; TN [1] Gasterosteus aculeatus - Threespine Stickleback T: tidal waters; VA [2?] Hemitremia flammea - Flame Chub M: Tennessee drainages; TN [1] Hybognathus nuchalis - Central Silvery Minnow M: Tennessee drainages; TN [2-3] Hybopsis aestivalis -- Speckled Chub M: Tennessee drainages; TN [1-2]

Most of these breed to the south of North Carolina and would be expected to occur as a visitor in the warmer months. Otherwise, all other species on this list are presumed to breed in adjacent states. There are numerous butterfly species whose presently known range extends south in the mountains only to Virginia. Some of these certainly must occur in the northern mountain counties of North Carolina, particularly those not restricted to habitats rare or absent in the state (e.g., shale barrens or limestone outcrops). North Carolina has apparently not had thorough statewide coverage of its Lepidopteran fauna, nor has a book or treatise been published on that fauna of the state. In summary, there is much to be learned about butterfly distribution in the state, including new species to be added to the state list.

There have been some changes in the FSC (Federal Species of Concern) status, indicating a species that may or may not be listed in the future, but for which there is insufficient information to support listing at the present time. NC NHP has been working with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff at the Raleigh and Asheville offices to make sure that we have the most up-to-date statuses, and working to suggest future additions to and deletions from the FSC list. Currently, we are working from the FWS list revised on March 16, 2004.

A few taxa on the FWS list - E, T, and FSC - are not found in this NHP publication; these are primarily taxa that occur only in offshore waters (such as whales or seabirds), are of uncertain occurrence in the state, or are of uncertain taxonomic status. Rank Changes on the Rare Animal List Between 2001 and 2004, the N.C. Natural Heritage Program has made numerous changes to the N.C. Ranks, as has NatureServe (formerly the science branch of The Nature Conservancy) to the Global Ranks. Only those chanres involving taxa formerly or presently considered extinct, extirpated, or of historical occurrence are listed below. However, taxa changing from SH to SX are not listed. From: To.

iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Portions of this list have been developed with the assistance of biologists in North Carolina and elsewhere. Scientific Councils for each vertebrate group and several invertebrates groups compiled the bulk of the rare species lists (for N.C. Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern species). Members of the current Scientific Councils are: MAMMALS -- Mary Kay Clark (chair), Mary Bunch, Susan Loeb, Chris McGrath, Nancy Moncrief, Nora Murdock, Roger Powell, Terry Sharpe, David Webster, Peter Weigl. Former members: David Adams, Bill Adams, Carl Betsill, John Funderburg. BIRDS -- Dave Lee (chair), Dave Allen, John Gerwin, Walker Golder, Herb Hendrickson, Mark Johns, Harry LeGrand, Merrill Lynch, Jim Parnell, Eloise Potter, Matt Rowe, Ted Simons, Haven Wiley. Former members: Allen Boynton, Phil Crutchfield, Tom Howard, Wayne Irvin, Jeff Walters. AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES -- Alvin Braswell (chair), Jeff Beane, Ruth Boettcher, Dick Bruce, Julian Harrison, Harold Heatwole, Dennis Herman, Wilson Laney, Nora Murdock, Dave Stephan, Wayne Van Devender, Dave Woodward. Former members: Bill Palmer, Jim Parnell. FRESHWATER FISHES -- Wayne Starnes (chair), John Alderman, Brooks Burr, David Etnier, Robert Jenkins, David Lindquist, Ed Menhinick, Anthony Mullis, Richard Neves, Richard Noble, Bill Palmer, Gerald Pottern, Fred Rohde, Steve Ross. Former members: Alvin Braswell, Peter Coleman, Jerry West. MARINE AND ESTUARINE FISHES - Steve Ross (chair), Fred Rohde, David Lindquist. FRESHWATER AND TERRESTRIAL MOLLUSKS -- Art Bogan (chair), Bill Adams, John Alderman, Dick Biggins, John Fridell, Eugene Keferl, Hugh Porter, Amy Van Devender. Former member: Andy Gerberich. FRESHWATER AND TERRESTRIAL CRUSTACEANS - John Clamp (chair), Bill Adams, John Alderman, John Cooper, David DeMont, Chris McGrath, Bill McLarney, Gabriela Mottesi, Janet Reid, Annette Taylor, Jan Williams. John Cooper (crayfishes), Dale Schweitzer (various groups but especially moths), Bo Sullivan (butterflies and moths), and Duncan Cuyler (dragonflies and damselflies) have been especially helpful in assisting the Natural Heritage Program in the development of many of the invertebrate lists of rare species. Also, the Biological Monitoring group of the N.C. Division of Water Quality (especially Trish MacPherson, Kathy Herring, Dave Lenat, and Dave Penrose) drafted the lists of mayflies, stoneflies, and caddisflies for the previous (2001) publication; and Lenat drafted lists of additional aquatic insects, including beetles, for this 2004 publication. In addition to those above who helped compile the rare species lists, other persons need to be acknowledged for providing data on rare species. Those who have made significant contributions (and not already listed above) include: Janice Allen, Hal Bain, Susan Campbell, Mark Cantrell, Derb Carter, Jay Carter, Therese Conant, Sam Cooper, Bob Curie, Ricky Davis; Bob Dellinger, Phil Doerr, Aimee Fullerton, John Fussell, L.L.

1 NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM LIST OF THE RARE ANIMALS OF NORTH CAROLINA INTRODUCTION The attached list of animals represents those species of vertebrates and invertebrates for which the N.C. Natural Heritage Program (NC NHP) is collecting data - in files, on computer, and on topographic maps. This is not strictly a list of protected animals; in fact, the majority of these species receive no formal protection whatsoever. Rather, it is a list of species that are endangered, threatened, or otherwise occur in small or unknown numbers in the state. The primary functions of the list are its use: 1) in determining priorities of inventory and protection for these animals - including the proposed listing of species for federal or state protection; 2) in determining priorities for protection of natural areas that contain such listed animals; and 3) in environmental assessments to "flag" rare species and their locations that might be negatively affected by proposed actions. The majority of the vertebrates on the list are those species currently listed for state protection by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), based on lists of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), and Special Concern (SC) species developed nearly l5 years ago by Scientific Councils on mamnals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, freshwater fishes, and mollusks. All of these species are included on this list, with the corresponding status listed in the "N.C. Status" column. (In addition, NC NHP is tracking other rare vertebrates and mollusks not given a formal state designation. These species are considered to be Significantly Rare [SRI in North Carolina.) As of March 2004, Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fishes, freshwater and terrestrial mollusks, and crustaceans are protected by state law, under the jurisdiction of the WRC. Protection for crustaceans (so far, only crayfishes) and certain venomous snakes was enacted in 2002. However, State law does not allow for protection of invertebrate groups other than mollusks and crustaceans. During 1997 and 1998, the Scientific Councils re-convened, prepared updated lists of species needing State protection, and submitted these lists to the WRC's Nongame Wildlife Advisory Committee. These lists were sent to the WRC for review; and approved in 1999. A recent change in State law requires any proposed legislation (such as lists of Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern species) must go to the State General Assembly; if there is no action by that body to overturn proposed legislation by a specified date, the legislation becomes law. Fortunately, these lists became law on July 1, 2002. Since that date, a few Scientific Councils have met and made suggestions (though not formally) for changes in state statuses; those statuses are listed in parentheses next to the current status. The list of rare marine and estuarine fishes was presented in 1988 by the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences. Except for the federally listed Endangered Shortnose Sturgeon, all other marine and estuarine fishes were listed in 1988 as "Vulnerable, Category 2". Because the Atlantic Sturgeon also occurs in fresh waters, it has been listed by WRC as a Special Concern species, and thus it is listed in this publication under Freshwater Fishes (as is the state Endangered Shortnose Sturgeon). Marine and estuarine fishes are under the jurisdiction of the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries; however, this agency does not have a list of endangered, threatened, and special concern fishes. Beginning with this 2004
2 list, the NC NHP is no longer tracking (nor including on the Watch List) marine and estuarine fishes. This decision is not due to their lack of state listing; rather, we receive few data on such species, survey for such species can be cumbersome, protection of them is difficult if not impossible, and there has no been no recent systematic account of the rarity and distribution of the hundreds of such fishes that occur in our salt and brackish waters. NC NHP lists of rare invertebrates - other than mollusks and crustaceans - have been derived from multiple sources. These lists have been prepared in consultation with other biologists in North Carolina and in the eastern United States. Because none of the invertebrates -- other than mollusks and crayfishes -- have been given legal state protection by WRC as Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern, these species are given a status of Significantly Rare by NC NHP. For the same reasons as for marine and estuarine fishes given above, the NC NHP is no longer keeping marine invertebrates on its Rare or Watch lists. NC NHP has also removed millipedes, scorpionflies, most beetles, ants, and annelids from its Watch List, primarily due to lack of new data on them and the apparent lack or scarcity of biologists working with these groups to provide data or provide updated lists of rare taxa.
3 LIST FORMAT Species are grouped by major taxa. The vertebrates are arranged by class, beginning with the most advanced phylogenetically (mammals). Within a given taxa, species are listed alphabetically by scientific name. The following information is presented for each species on the list. "Status" is a word or phrase that indicates the degree of protection (if any), based on rarity, of a species; "rank" is a numerical scale of the rarity of a species, regardless of legal protection. Scientific Name. Common Name. For most groups, these names are not standardized. North Carolina Status. Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fishes, freshwater and terrestrial mollusks, and crustaceans have legal protection status in North Carolina (Wildlife Resources Commission). In addition to the above categories, the Natural Heritage Program maintains computer and map files on Significantly Rare species, as well as species considered Extirpated. Paper files only are maintained for a few of the above species; these species are indicated by the phrase "not tracking." STATUS STATUS DEFINITION CODE E Endangered "Any native or once-native species of wild animal whose continued existence as a viable component of the State's fauna is determined by the Wildlife Resources Commission to be in jeopardy or any species of wild animal determined to be an 'endangered species' pursuant to the Endangered Species Act." (Article 25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes; 1987). T Threatened "Any native or once-native species of wild animal which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range, or one that is designated as a threatened species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act." (Article 25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes; 1987). SC Special Concern "Any species of wild animal native or once-native to North Carolina which is determined by the Wildlife Resources Commission to require monitoring but which may be taken under regulations adopted under the provisions of this Article." (Article 25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes; 1987). P_ Proposed Species has been proposed by a Scientific Council as a status (Endangered, Threatened, Special Concern, Watch List, or for De-listing) that is different from the current status, but the status has not yet been adopted by the General Assembly as law. In the lists of rare species in this book, these proposed statuses are listed in parentheses below the current status. Only those proposed statuses that are different from the current statuses are listed.
4 ST 'ATUS STATUS DEFINITION ODE SR Significantly Any species which has not been listed by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Rare Commission as an Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern species, but which exists in the state in small numbers and has been determined by the N.C. Natural Heritage Program to need monitoring. (This is a N.C. Natural Heritage Program designation.) Significantly Rare species include "peripheral" species, whereby North Carolina lies at the periphery of the species' range (such as Hermit Thrush). EX Extirpated A species which is no longer believed to occur in the state. (This is a N.C. Natural Heritage Program designation, though WRC also uses this status; the NHP list includes those on the WRC list.) W Watch List Any other species believed to be of conservation concern in the state because of scarcity, declining populations, threats to populations, or inadequacy of information to assess its rarity (see page 59 for a more complete discussion). (This is a N.C. Natural Heritage Program designation.) G Species is a game animal, and therefore (by law) cannot be listed for State protection as E, T, or SC.
5 United States Status. This status is designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Federally listed Endangered and Threatened species are protected under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended through the 100th Congress. Unless otherwise noted, definitions are taken from the FederalRegister, Vol. 56, No. 225, November 21, 1991 (50 CFR Part 17). STATUS STATUS DEFINITION CODE E Endangered A taxon "which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range" (Endangered Species Act, Section 3). T Threatened A taxon "which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range" (Endangered Species Act, Section 3). FSC (Federal) "... the Service is discontinuing the designation of Category 2 species as Species of candidates in this notice. The Service remains concerned about these Concern species, but further biological research and field study are needed to [also known as resolve the conservation status of these taxa. Many species of concern Species at Risk] will be found not to warrant listing, either because they are not threatened or endangered or because they do not qualify as species under the definition in the [Endangered Species] Act. Others may be found to be in greater danger of extinction than some present candidate taxa. The Service is working with the States and other private and public interests to assess their need for protection under the Act. Such species are the pool from which future candidates for listing will be drawn." (FederalRegister, February 28, 1996). The Service suggests that such taxa be considered as "Species of Concern" or "Species at Risk", neither of which has official status. The N.C. Natural Heritage Program uses "(Federal) Species of Concern" in this document for those taxa formerly considered as Category 2. P_ Proposed Species proposed in the FederalRegister as a status different from its current Federal status.
6 STATUS STATUS DEFINITION CODE T (S/A) Threatened due "Section 4 (e) of the [Endangered Species] Act authorizes the treatment to Similarity of of a species (subspecies or population segment) as endangered or Appearance threatened even though it is not otherwise listed as endangered or threatened if -- (a) the species so closely resembles in appearance an endangered or threatened species that enforcement personnel would have substantial difficulty in differentiating between the listed and unlisted species; (b) the effect of this substantial difficulty is an additional threat to an endangered or threatened species; and (c) such treatment of an unlisted species will substantially facilitate the enforcement and further the policy of the Act." (FederalRegister, November 4, 1997). [The American Alligator is listed as T (S/A) due to Similarity of Appearance with other rare crocodilians, and the southern population of the Bog Turtle is listed as T (S/A) due to Similarity of Appearance with the northern population of the Bog Turtle (which is federally listed as Threatened and which does not occur in North Carolina).] XN Nonessential "Section 10 (j) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, Experimental provides for the designation of introduced populations of federally listed Population species as nonessential experimental. This designation allows for greater flexibility in the management of these populations by local, state, and Federal agencies. Specifically, the requirement for Federal agencies to avoid jeopardizing these populations by their actions is eliminated and allowances for taking the species are broadened." (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1995). D De-listed Species has been proposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for de-listing from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. However, at the present time, the species is still on the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and is thus protected under the Endangered Species Act. Because such species still have legal Federal protection, the NHP will maintain existing records on the species, though new records might not necessarily be added. If the status becomes law prior to the next publication of the NHP Rare Animal List, the Program will remove the Federal designation from its database (and thus the species will no longer appear on printouts of Federally listed species). NHP may or may not continue to track the species, depending on its legal State status and other factors such as overall abundance and range in the state.
7 North Carolina Rank. North Carolina ranks are based on The Nature Conservancy's system of measuring rarity and threat status. This system is widely used by other agencies and organizations, as the best available scientific and objective assessment of a species' rarity at the state level. State ranks are assigned by biologists within each Natural Heritage Program. RANK NUMBER OF DESCRIPTION EXTANT POPULATIONS Si 1-5 Critically imperiled in North Carolina because of extreme rarity or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extirpation from North Carolina. S2 6-20 Imperiled in North Carolina because of rarity or because of some factor(s) making it very vulnerable to extirpation from North Carolina. S3 21-100 Rare or uncommon in North Carolina. S4 100-1000 Apparently secure in North Carolina, with many occurrences. S5 1000+ Demonstrably secure in North Carolina and essentially ineradicable under present conditions. SA 1-? Accidental or casual; one to several records for North Carolina, but the state is outside the normal range of the species. SH 0? Of historical occurrence in North Carolina, perhaps not having been verified in the past 20 years, and suspected to be still extant. SR -- Reported from North Carolina, but without persuasive documentation which would provide a basis for either accepting or rejecting the report. SX 0 Apparently extirpated from North Carolina. SU -- Possibly in peril in North Carolina but status uncertain; need more information. S? -- Unranked, or rank uncertain. _B 1-? Rank of the breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only. _N 1-? Rank of the non-breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only. _Z_ 1-? Population is not of significant conservation concern. For example, the status "SZN" indicates that the population in the non-breeding seasons (generally in migration or in winter) is transitory, without any regular locales of occurrence whereby the species can be protected. Where a number is listed with the "B" or "N" modifier, there are definable locales of occurrence that can be identified for protection.
8 Global Rank. Global ranks are assigned by NatureServe (formerly the science branch of The Nature Conservancy) staff biologists and contract biologists, based on a consensus of scientific experts, the individual natural heritage programs, and the Natural Heritage Network. Global ranks apply to the status of a species throughout its range, and are based on data on the species' status rangewide. This system is widely used by other agencies and organizations, as the best available scientific and objective assessment of a species' rarity throughout its range. NOTE: Global ranks in brackets are those suggested by Scientific Councils in North Carolina, or by the N.C. Natural Heritage Program, and are not NatureServe's assigned ranks. These suggested ranks are listed below the TNC assigned ranks. In some cases, these suggested ranks were made to indicate that the Global Rank perhaps should be changed, with the taxa apparently more common in North Carolina than the Global Rank will allow (i.e., a rank of S3 G2 isn't technically allowed; thus, the global rank is suggested to be G3.) RANK NUMBER OF DESCRIPTION EXTANT POPULATIONS G1 1-5 Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extinction. G2 6-20 Imperiled globally because of rarity or because of some factor(s) making it very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range. G3 21-100 Either very rare and local throughout its range or found locally (even abundantly at some of its locations) in a restricted range (e.g., a single physiographic region) or because of other factors making it vulnerable to extinction throughout its range. G4 100-1000 Apparently secure globally, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery. G5 1000+ Demonstrably secure globally, though it may be quite rare inparts of its range, especially at the periphery. GH 0? Of historical occurrence throughout its range, i.e., formerly part of the established biota, with the expectation that it may be rediscovered. GX 0 Believed to be extinct throughout its range (e.g., Passenger Pigeon) with virtually no likelihood that it will be rediscovered. GU -- Possibly in peril range-wide, but status uncertain; more information is needed. G?-- Unranked, or rank uncertain. GQ- Questionable taxonomic assignment. T_ -- The rank of a subspecies or variety. As an example, G4T1 would apply to a subspecies of a species with an overall rank of G4, but the subspecies warranting a rank of Gl.
9 Physiographic Province/Region. The provinces/regions in which the animal is known to occur are indicated. This should not be regarded as the only province(s) or region(s) of the state in which the species could occur; our knowledge of the fauna of North Carolina, especially the invertebrates, is still very imperfect. The provinces are abbreviated as follows: M Mountains All parts of North Carolina west of the foot of the Blue Ridge Escarpment. P Piedmont All parts of North Carolina east of the foot of the Blue Ridge Escarpment and west of the Fall Line, including outlying "foothill" ranges, such as the Brushy, Uwharrie, and Sauratown mountains. S Sandhills The southwestern portion of the Coastal Plain province consisting mostly of deep aeolian sands of the Middendorf and Pinehurst formation (portions of Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Moore, Richmond, Scotland, and Montgomery counties). The Sandhills are actually part of the Coastal Plain but are here distinguished because of their distinctive geomorphology and vegetation. C Coastal Plain All parts of North Carolina east of the Fall Line, but excluding the Sandhills region and those portions associated with tidal water (ocean, sounds, barrier islands, and mainland brackish or salt marshes). T Tidewater That part of the state associated with tidal water, such as the ocean and barrier islands, sounds, estuaries, and mainland brackish or salt marshes. Habitat. The known, or the most typical, habitats are described briefly; as with provinces, these should not be regarded as the only possible habitats of the species in the state. Counties of occurrence. Following the description of habitats is a listing, in parentheses, of the known counties of occurrence of the records in the Natural Heritage Program database. For most vertebrate species, this listing of counties is complete or reasonably complete. However, for many invertebrates, and a few vertebrates (generally those newly added to the Rare List), there is no listing of counties, as records have yet to be added to the database. Where county names appear in brackets, records from these counties have not yet been added to the database.) Counties in which the element was last observed more than 20 years ago are marked with an asterisk (*). The asterisk does not necessarily mean that the species no longer exists in that county; simply, it means that the date of the last observation available to the Natural Heritage Program from that county is 1983 or earlier. Counties where no date of occurrence (e.g., data from an atlas/dot map) is available are marked with a plus (+). Without additional information, the Program has no way of knowing whether such data should be considered as current or historic (marked with *). Records from such references, atlases, and other lists that were published or made available to the Program from 1983 or earlier should be considered as historic, but the Program has not yet updated the database for these obscure date records.
10 - STATUS OF ANIMAL TAXA ON NHP RARE ANIMAL LIST (as of March, 2004) For names and definitions of statuses, see pages 3-5.

59 NORTH CAROLINA ANIMAL WATCH LIST The North CarolinaAnimal Watch List includes animals that are rare or uncommon, are not well-studied, or are otherwise threatened with serious decline, but that are not placed on the List of Rare Animals of North Carolina by the NC NHP. Watch List species are additional indicators of significant habitats, and their presence should be considered in planning natural area protection efforts, though obviously with less weight than higher priority rare species and natural communities. The NC NHP maintains paper files on these species, but does not include them in its map and computer files. Animals placed on this list fall into a number of categories, as discussed below. The NC NHP requests additional information about these species in order to clarify their status and reclassify them into other appropriate and more specific categories. Reasons for the current placement of species on the Watch List rather than at a higher rarity status (Endangered, Threatened, Special Concern, Significantly Rare) are varied. For many of them, the Natural Heritage Program lacks adequate documentation of their historic or present occurrence in North Carolina; this is especially true for invertebrates. Others are known to be rare or uncommon in North Carolina, but may or may not be declining. Some others may not be necessarily rare as yet, but they are undergoing significant losses of their habitat, such as animals of the spruce-fir forest, or are undergoing significant disturbances to their habitat, such as human disturbances to beach-nesting birds. The following five Watch Categories have been devised to indicate the reasons for each species' current placement(s). These categories and the descriptions of them have been developed by the NC NHP. A number of species have been placed in two Watch Categories, because it is believed they may be "in trouble" for at least two reasons. For example, the Red-breasted Nuthatch has a rather small breeding population in the state, in the higher elevations of the mountains, giving it a W2 status. However, as a portion of the breeding population occurs in the spruce-fir zone, which is undergoing degradation of the canopy, it is also given a W5 status, as well. Watch Categorv 1 (WI) includes species that are known to be declining in North Carolina, for one reason, or another. The distribution or population sizes of such species in the state are fairly well known; loss of habitat is not necessarily a factor. A large number of species are known to be declining in the state, such as Neotropical migrant birds, but the species in this category must have an N.C. Rank of S3S4 or higher (S3, S2, SI, etc.). Examples: American Black Duck, Slender Glass Lizard. Watch Categorv 2 (W2) includes species that are rare to uncommon in North Carolina, but are not necessarily considered to be declining or otherwise in trouble. Generally speaking, the distribution or population sizes of such species in the state are fairly well known. Examples: Baltimore Oriole, Coal Skink, Spotted Sunfish.
60 Watch Categorv 3 (W3) includes species that are poorly known in North Carolina, but are not necessarily considered to be declining or otherwise in trouble. The distribution and population sizes of such species are not well known; this is especially true for a large number of invertebrates, as well as secretive or nocturnal vertebrates. Examples: Striped Mud Turtle, Sandhills Salamander, Regal Darner. Watch Category 4 (W4) includes species reported from North Carolina without adequate documentation. These species should be listed at a higher level, if their reported occurrence in North Carolina is true. This category includes sight records of uncertain validity, old and vague reports for which no documentation has appeared, and, in a few cases, more recent reports for which we have not yet received documentation. Example: Cumberland Crayfish Ostracod. Watch Categorv 5 (W5) includes species with increasing amounts of threats to its habitat, whether or not populations are known to be declining. These threats can include loss of habitat (e.g., the dramatic loss of maritime forests), degradation of habitat (e.g., pollution and sedimentation of rivers and streams), and disturbance to the habitat (e.g., humans and their vehicles on beaches), among other types of threats. Threats can also include use of pesticides, acid rain, fire suppression, over-collection by zoologists, and varied other factors. Examples: American Kestrel, Georgia Satyr.

82 NORTH CAROLINA EXI 'IRPATED ANIMAL LIST Scientific Name Common Name Status Rank Province: Habitat (Counties of occurrence) N.C. U.S. N.C. Global EXTIRPATED ANIMALS IN NORTH CAROLINA This is a list of all taxa considered by state biologists and NC NHP to be extirpated (N.C. Rank of SX) in North Carolina. On past NC NHP rare animal lists, some such taxa were included in the Rare List, some were included in the Watch List, and others were not mentioned at all. Some of these taxa are Federally Listed, and some also have a state protected status (SC). However, as none are believed to presently occur in the state, with little or no hope of being re-discovered, we feel that they should be placed in a common section of this publication. For those species that have been tracked in the past, NC NHP will still keep records of their locations and keep other materials on file. (See pages 3-8 for status codes and definitions.) NOTE: Quite a few species that might be gone from NC are included in the Rare and Watch lists with an SH (= historic) rank, generally indicating that they have not been seen for over 20 years, but because of inadequate survey or other factors may well still exist in the state, or may be absent but expected to be found again in upcoming years.

84 POTENTIAL NEW TO NORTH CAROLINA ANIMALS The following list contains species of well-known animal groups that are not currently known to occur in North Carolina, or those species not currently known to breed in North Carolina, but which are considered to have some possibility of being found to occur on a regular basis or to breed in the state. The list is based on the species' currently known range and habitat preferences. Nearly all are species that occur in the adjacent states of South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, or Virginia, in habitats (or drainages) at least relatively similar to habitats known to exist in North Carolina. The purpose of this list is to encourage and challenge field workers to find new state occurrences and new breeding recordsk This list should give field investigators an idea of some of the species that may be regular components of North Carolina's fauna. (Species that might occur as single record accidentals, such as Western species of birds or Gulf Coast butterflies, are generally not included.) While some of these species may have relatively remote chances of being found in North Carolina, the likelihood of finding new state records is greatly increased by being aware of the possibilities and by species-directed searching. Our knowledge of many of our animal groups is still quite imperfect, especially invertebrate groups. Many natural areas are being destroyed before they can be investigated, and it can be assumed that a number of native species have been extirpated from North Carolina before they were ever documented as occurring in the state. Following each species is the North Carolina province in which the species is considered most likely to be found occurring or found breeding. Where possible, a description of the typical habitat of the species in the vicinity of North Carolina is also given. Sometimes, the nearest known occurrence(s) to North Carolina are also listed, with the distance from North Carolina in number of counties in brackets. For instance, [1] indicates that the species has been reported from a county immediately adjacent to North Carolina; [5] indicates that the species has been reported from a county five counties away from the North Carolina border. An average county width in and around North Carolina is about 25 miles, so [5] indicates an approximate distance from North Carolina of 100-125 miles. It should be obvious that a species known to occur south only to the Virginia mountains would be best searched for in North Carolina counties near the Virginia line, such as Ashe, Alleghany, and Watauga. Likewise, Coastal Plain species occurring north to South Carolina are most likely searched for in counties along the southern border, such as Brunswick and Columbus. The following additional symbols are used:
- May have occurred in North Carolina (no conclusive records) with the remote possibility of being conclusively found in the state
+ Known to occur in the state on a regular basis (as an Element Occurrence) but not known conclusively to breed, though suspected or assumed to breed; conclusive breeding records lacking NOTE: Since the last version of this publication in 2001, the following species have been found or reported in North Carolina and have been removed from the lists: Olympia Marble (Euchloe olympia) and Texan Crescent (Phyciodes texana seminole); plus, breeding evidence has been documented for Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus). MAMMALS There are very few terrestrial mammals that could be discovered for the first time in North Carolina; three of them -- North American Porcupine, Shoeshoe Hare, and Fisher - may have occurred in the mountains many decades or centuries ago, but reports are fuzzy or second-hand; they are included on the Extirpated List. Nearly all of the potential new-to-North Carolina mammals are cetaceans. A few cetaceans probably occur regularly in the Atlantic off North Carolina, but far offshore; however, most of them are primarily either subtropical or Arctic inhabitants and would be considered accidental in the state.

Much sampling has occurred in the state near the Tennessee border for such species. The streams where they occur do extend into North Carolina; however, most of the streams where the fishes occur in Tennessee become high gradient near the border, with riffles and rapids preventing the fishes from occurring in North Carolina. A few reservoirs along the state line also block some species from entering the state. On the other hand, there are a number of species that occur within one or two counties of North Carolina that are not listed here; these are fishes in drainages that do not reach North Carolina, particularly the Chattahoochee and the Coosa in Georgia, the Clinch in Tennessee and Virginia, and the James in Virginia.

Most of these breed to the south of North Carolina and would be expected to occur as a visitor in the warmer months. Otherwise, all other species on this list are presumed to breed in adjacent states. There are numerous butterfly species whose presently known range extends south in the mountains only to Virginia. Some of these certainly must occur in the northern mountain counties of North Carolina, particularly those not restricted to habitats rare or absent in the state (e.g., shale barrens or limestone outcrops). North Carolina has apparently not had thorough statewide coverage of its Lepidopteran fauna, nor has a book or treatise been published on that fauna of the state. In summary, there is much to be learned about butterfly distribution in the state, including new species to be added to the state list.

There have been some changes in the FSC (Federal Species of Concern) status, indicating a species that may or may not be listed in the future, but for which there is insufficient information to support listing at the present time. NC NHP has been working with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff at the Raleigh and Asheville offices to make sure that we have the most up-to-date statuses, and working to suggest future additions to and deletions from the FSC list. Currently, we are working from the FWS list revised on March 16, 2004.

A few taxa on the FWS list -- E, T, and FSC - are not found in this NHP publication; these are primarily taxa that occur only in offshore waters (such as whales or seabirds), are of uncertain occurrence in the state, or are of uncertain taxonomic status. Rank Changes on the Rare Animal List Between 2001 and 2004, the N.C. Natural Heritage Program has made numerous changes to the N.C. Ranks, as has NatureServe (formerly the science branch of The Nature Conservancy) to the Global Ranks. Only those changes involving taxa formerly or presentlv considered extinct, extirpated, or of historical occurrence are listed below. However, taxa changing from SH to SX are not listed.

NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM LIST OF THE RARE PLANTS OF NORTH CAROLINA North Carolina has an exceptionally rich and diverse flora, consisting of about 5600 species of gymnosperms, dicots, monocots, ferns, fern allies, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens. North Carolina's flora includes boreal plants
? more typical of Canada V' on the high peaks of the Southern Appalachians, subtropical plants (including palms) in the maritime climate of the barrier islands, tropical ferns, mosses, and liverworts around waterfalls in humid mountain gorges, as well as more typical and characteristic species of the Southeastern North American coastal plain, piedmont, and Southern Appalachian Mountains. Fourteen (14) plant taxa are endemic to NC. In addition to those mentioned above, some of the more notable habitats of rare or endemic plants in North Carolina include longleaf pine savannas, mountain bogs and fens, sandhills, piedmont glades and prairie-like savannas, mountain cove forests, coastal plain limesinks, granite flatrocks, and pocosins. The diverse native flora of North Carolina is a rich part of our natural heritage, worthy of protection for environmental, scientific, economic, aesthetic, and moral reasons.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NC NHP), as part of its mission to preserve the biological diversity of North Carolina, maintains a systematic inventory of all known locations of rare taxa. The following list of rare plant taxa monitored by NC NHP includes767 taxa. All plant taxa native to North Carolina which are officially recognized by federal or state agencies as protected or otherwise rare are included on this list. This list incorporates the most recent federal status of rare plants, as determined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) with amendments current to March 17, 2004. Natural HeritageProgram List ofthe Rare Plants of North Carolina also includes North Carolina legal status information from the most recent version of the List of North Carolina's Endangered, Threatened and Candidate Plant Species, which can be found on the North Carolina Plant Conservation Program (NC PCP) website: http://www.ncagr.com/plantind/plant/conserv/cons.htm. This website includes discussion of and information on the legal status of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), and Special Concern (SC) species. The North Carolina Plant Watch List includes an additional 487 species, which appear to be rare enough to be of conservation concern in North Carolina, but which are not currently inventoried by NC NHP at the same level that Rare plant taxa are tracked, and are not legally protected or active candidates for legal protection by the USF WS or NC P CP. NC NHP takes the lead role in North Carolina in the inventory of the state's natural diversity, the identification of important natural areas and rare species habitats, and the protection and management of natural areas. It serves as the state's data bank of locality information of natural areas and rare and endangered plant and animal species. It conducts environmental reviews of projects involving state or federal permits or monies, to minimize negative impacts on North Carolina's natural areas and rare species. Many species which lack formal, legal protection are nonetheless imperiled in North Carolina. Therefore, NC NHP collects data on species in addition to the three categories of protected plants (Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern). These additional rare species are placed in two other categories of rare plants: Significantly Rare (SA) and Watch List (W). Definitions of all status categories are listed below, under "North Carolina Status." NC NHP requests locality and population data on the species listed in this publication. Plant survey forms have been provided for this purpose. NC PCP, a unit of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is the agency responsible for the listing and protection of North Carolina's endangered and threatened plants, under provisions of the North Carolina Plant Protection and Conservation Act of 1979 (General Statutes, Article 19B, 106: 202.12-22), as amended. NC PCP acts under the direction o f a Plant Conservation B oard and with the advice of a Scientific C ommittee to maintain and revise the state lists of protected (Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern) plant species, to investigate protection needs and survival requirements of native plants, to carry out conservation programs, to make and enforce regulations, and to issue permits concerning protected plants. The 123 plant species currently listed as Endangered and Threatened in North Carolina are published in the List of North Carolina's Endangered, Threatened and Candidate Plant Species: January 1994, with amendments, available from NC PCP. That publication also lists North Carolina's Special Concern species and explains regulations and permits regarding protected plants. In general, removal of Endangered or Threatened plants from the wild and their sale or distribution is illegal. Particular regulations concerning collection, propagation, and sale apply to those species (Endangered, Threatened, or otherwise) listed as Special Concern. Federally listed species are protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The USFWS is the federal agency responsible for listing and protecting nationally endangered and threatened species. As'of March 2004, there are 27 plant species federally listed as Endangered or Threatened which occur in North Carolina. These
2 species are distributed throughout the state, in about half of North Carolina's hundred counties. In addition, about 1 18 species are Federal Species of Concern. NC NHP, NC PCP, and USFWS work cooperatively to ensure the continued survival of all of North Carolina's rich flora.

Bell's Manual of the Vascular Flora of the Carolinas (1968), the name used in that work is indicated in brackets. In a small number of cases, other commonly used synonymy is also indicated. If the species was not treated in Radford, Ahles, and Bell and cannot be identified using that manual, the notation "[not in RAB]" follows the scientific name. If the species is treated in Radford, Ahles, and Bell, but was not indicated as occurring in North Carolina, the notation "[not in NC in RAB]" follows the scientific name. Taxonomy and nomenclature of nonvascular plants (mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens) generally follow L.E. Anderson, H.A. Crum, and W.R. Buck's List of the Mosses ofNorth America North of Mexico (Bryologist 93: 448-499 [1990]), L.E. Anderson's A Checklist of Sphagnum in North America North of Mexico (Bryologist 93: 500-501 [1990D, HA.

Endangered,Threatened, and Special Concern species have legally protected status in N orth Carolina through NC PCP. NC NHP maintains computer and map files on Endangered, Threatened, Candidate, and Significantly Rare species; paper files are maintained on Watch List species. STATUS STATUS DEFINITION CODE. E Endangered "Any species or higher taxon of plant whose continued existence as a viable component ofthe State's flora is determined to be in jeopardy" (GS 19B 106: 202.12). (Endangered species may not be removed from the wild except when a permit is obtained for research, propagation, or rescue which will enhance the survival of the species.) T Threatened "Any resident species of plant which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range" (GS 19B 106:202.12). (Regulations are the same as for Endangered species.) SC Special "Any species of plant in North Carolina which requires monitoring but which Concern may be collected and sold under regulations adopted under the provisions of [the Plant Protection and Conservation Act]" (GS 19B 106:202.12). (Special Concern species which are not also listed as Endangered or Threatened may be collected from the wild and sold under specific regulations. Propagated material only of Special Concern species which are also listed as Endangered or Threatened may be traded or sold under specific regulations.) SR Significantly Species which are rare in North Carolina, generally with 1-100 populations in the Rare state, generally substantially reduced in numbers by habitat destruction (and sometimes also by direct exploitation or disease).
-L Limited The range of the species is limited to North Carolina and adjacent states (endemic or near endemic). These are species which may have 20-50 populations in North Carolina, but fewer than 50 populations rangewide. The preponderance of their distribution is in North Carolina and their fate depends largely on conservation here. Also included are some species with 20-100 populations in North Carolina, if they also have only 50-100 populations rangewide and declining.
- -T Throughout These species are rare throughout their ranges (fewer than 100 populations total)
-D Disjunct The species is disjunct to NC from a main range in a different part of the country or world.
-P Peripheral The species is at the periphery of its range in NC. These species are generally more common somewhere else in their ranges, occurring in North Carolina peripherally to their main ranges, mostly in habitats which are unusual in North Carolina.
4
-O Other The range of the species is sporadic or cannot be described by the other Significantly Rare categories W Watch List Any other species believed to be rare and of conservation concern in the state but not warranting active monitoring atthis time (see the Watch List section for a more complete discussion).
P_ Proposed A species which has been formally proposed for listing as Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern, but has not yet completed the legally mandated listing process. United States Status is designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (U.S. FWS) and the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service in accordance with the U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (U.S. ESA). Plants and plant varieties, (including fungi and lichens), animal species and subspecies, and vertebrate populations are considered for Endangered or Threatened status according to the criteria established under the U.S. ESA. Proposals and determinations to add taxa or populations to the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants are published in the Federal Register. Additionally, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service periodically publish a Notice of Review or Notice of Reclassification in the Federal Register that present an updated list of plant and animal taxa which are regarded as candidates or proposed for possible addition to the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants. STATUS STATUS DEFINITION CODE E Endangered A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range" (Endangered Species Act, Section 3). T Threatened A taxon "likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range (Endangered Species Act, Section 3). IC Candida te "Taxa for which the (Fish and Wildlife] Service has on file enough substantial information on biological vulnerability and threat(s) to support proposals to list them as endangered or threatened. Proposed rules have not yet been issued because this action is precluded at present by other listing activity. Development and publication of proposed rules on these taxa are anticipated. The Service encourages State and other Federal agencies as well as other affected parties to give consideration to these taxa in environmental planning.§ (FederalRegister, February 28, 1996). Taxa formerly considered as -Category I' are now considered as -Candidate-. FSC (Federal) Species TM,. the Service is discontinuing the designation of Category 2 species as of Concern candidates in this notice. The Service remains concerned about these species but further biological research and field study are needed to resolve the conservation status of these taxa. Many species of concern will be found not to warrant listing, either because they are not threatened or endangered or because they do not qualify as species under the definition in the [Endangered Species] Act Others may be found to be in greater danger of extinction than some present candidate taxa. The Service is working with the States and other private and public interests IDassess theirneed for protection under the Act. Such species are the pool from which future candidates for listing will be drawn.s (FederalRegister, February 2 8, 1996).
5 P_ Proposed "Taxa already proposed to be listed as "endangered or threatened. Taxa formally proposed as endangered or threatened receive some legal protection. Species listed as proposed candidates are species which are in the process of being added to the federal candidate list. North Carolina Rank. North Carolina ranks are based on NatureServe and The Nature Conservancy's (TNC) system of measuring rarity and threat status. This system is now widely used by other agencies and organizations, as the
*bestavailable scientific and objective assessment of a species' rarity at the state level.
RANK NUMBER OF EXTANT DESCRIPTION POPULATIONS S1 1-5 Critically imperiled in North Carolina because of extreme rarity or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extirpation (local extinction) from the state. S2 6-20 Imperiled in North Carolina because of rarity or because of some factor(s) making it very vulnerable to extirpation from the state. S3 21-100 Rare or uncommon in North Carolina. S4 100-1000 Apparently secure in North Carolina, with many occurrences. S5 1000+ Demonstrably secure in North Carolina. SA -- Accidental in state. SH 0? Of historical occurrence in North Carolina, perhaps not having been verified in the past 20 years, and suspected to be still extant. SR -- Reported from North Carolina, but without persuasive documentation which would provide a basis for either accepting or rejecting the report. SX 0. Apparently extirpated from North Carolina. SU -- Possibly in peril in North Carolina but status uncertain; need more information. S? -- Unranked, or rank uncertain. SE -- Believed to be introduced in the state. A rank involving two numbers indicates. uncertainty of mnk. For instance, a S2S3 rank indicates that the species may be a S2 or a S3, but that existing data do not allow that determination to be made. Global Rank. Similar to North Carolina ranks, global ranks are assigned by a consensus of scientific experts, the various natural heritage programs, NatureServe, and TNC.: They apply to the status of a species throughout its range, and are based on data on the species' status rangewide. This system is now widely used by other agencies and organizations, as the best available scientific and objective assessment of a species' rarity throughout its range. RANK NUMBER OF EXTANT DESCRIPTION POPULATIONS GI 1-5 Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extinction. G2 6-20 Imperiled globally because of rarity or because of some factor(s) making it very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.
6 G3 21-100 Either very rare and local throughout its range or found locally (even abundantly at some of its locations) in a restricted range (e.g., a single physiographic region) or because of other factors making it vulnerable to extinction throughout its range. G4 100-1000 Appare ntly secure glob ally, though it may b e quite rare in p arts of its range, especially at the periphery. G5. 1000+ Demonstrably secure globally, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery. GH O? Of historical occurrence throughout its range, i.e., formerly part of the established biota, with the expectation that it might be rediscovered. GX 0 Believed to be extinct throughout its range (e.g., passenger pigeon) with virtually no likelihood that it will be rediscovered. GU -- Possibly in peril range-wide, but status uncertain; need more information. G?-- Unranked, or rank uncertain. GQ cc Questionable taxonomic assignment. T -- The rank of a subspecies or variety. As an example, G4T I would apply to a subspecies of a species with an overall rank of G4, but the subspecies warranting a rank of GI. A rank involving two numbers indicates uncertainty of rank. For instance, a G2G3 rank indicates that the species may be a G2 or a G3, but that existing data do not allow that determination to be made. Physiographic Province. The provinces in which the species is known to occur are indicated. This should not be regarded as the only pro vince(s) of the s tate in which the sp ecies could occur; our knowledge of the flora o f North Carolina is still very imperfect. The provinces are abbreviated as follows: M Mountains (Blue Ridge) All parts of N orth Carolina west of the foo t of the Blue R idge Escarpment. P Piedmont All parts of North Carolina east of the foot of the Blue Ridge Escarpment and west of the Fall Line, including outlying "foothill" ranges, such as the Brushy, Uwharrie, and Sauratown Mountains. This province is shallowly underlain by crystalline metamorphic, igneous, or (rarely) consolidated sedimentary rocks. S Sandhills Portions of Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Moore, Richmond, Scotland, and Montgomery counties consisting mostly of deep aeolian sands of the Middendorf and Pinehurst formations (Cretaceous to Tertiary age). The.Sandhills are really part of the coastal plain but are here distinguished because of their distinctive geomorphology and vegetation. Areas somewhat resembling the Sandhills region but occurring in other parts of the state (such as Carolina bay rims and aeolian or beach ridge depositsin the outerCoastal Plain)are considered partof the Coastal Plain Province. C Coastal Plain All parts of N orth Caro lina east of the fall line, ex cluding the S andhills, gene rally consisting of unconsolidated sands, silts, clays, and peats, though rarely shallowly underlain by consolidated coquina limestone ("marl"). T Tidewater That part of the state associated with tidal water such as the ocean and barrier islands, sounds, estuaries and mainland brackish or salt marshes.
7 Habitat. The known habitats. are described; as with provinc es, these should not be regarded as the only possible habitats ofthe species in the state. Counties of known occurrence. Following the description of habitats is a listing of the known counties of occurrence. Counties with historic populations (not seen since 1979) are marked with an asterisk (*) and counties with obscure or undatable records are marked with a cross (+). If there is some question as to the validity of the county report, it is marked with a question mark (?). The botanical exploration ofNorth Carolina is far from complete, and many additional county records will be found, generally (but not always) in proximity to counties listed. Mo st species which do not have county of occurrence information listed are new to the rare list and cQunty statusinformation had notbeen compiled at thetime ofpublication.

Watch List species are additional indicators of significant habitats, and their presence should be considered in planning natural area protection efforts, though with less weight than higher priority rare species and natural communities. The NC NHP maintains paper files on these spec ies, but does not include them in its map and computer files. Plants placed on this list fall into a number of categories, discussed below. NC NHP requests additional information about these species, in order to clarify their status and reclassify them into other appropriate categories. Reasons for the current placement of rare species on the Watch List rather than at a higher rarity status (Endangered, Threatened, Candidate, or Significantly Rare) are variable . The taxonomic validity of some of these species is currently in doubt. For others, NC N HP lacks adequate documentation of their historic or present occurrence in North Carolina. Others are known to be rare in North Carolina, but it appears that they are not native to the state. For most species, however, their actual rarity is poorly known and we are requesting more data before such species receive a higher, and more formal, rarity status. A field survey form is provided in the back of this document. We request that people fill out this survey form and mail it to NC NHP after visiting occurrences of these species. The Watch List has been divided into seven categories as follows. A list of Potential "New-to-North Carolina" species is located after the Watch List. Watch Category 1 (Wi - rare, but relatively secure) includes rare species whose status in North Carolina is relatively well known and which appear to be relatively secure at this time. While still notably rare, these species do not currently require site-specific monitoring and so are not on the main list (E, T, C, or SR). Many of these species were formerly on the main list; they are retained in this category because they require a lower level of continued monitoring to ensure their long-term security. Watch Category 2 (W2 - rare, but taxonomlcally questionable) includes species with questionable taxonomy, including taxa of dubious validity and taxa under study and potentially to be named. If further study reveals that these are valid taxa, they would warrant addition to the Rare Plant List as Endangered, Threatened, Candidate, or Significantly Rare. This category has been used for named and unnamed taxa which currently appear to have some significant chance of being proven valid. We request data on taxonomic validity, as well as data on localities and populations.
56 NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM LIST OF THE RARE PLANTS OF NORTH CAROLINA 2004 Scientific Name Common Name Status Rank Province: Habitat (Counties of occurrence) N;C. U.S. N.C. Global Watch Category 3 (W3 - rare, but uncertain documentation) includes species which have been reported from North Carolina without adequate documentation. These species should be listed at a higher level when their reported occurrence in North Carolina is verified. This category includes sight records, old and vague reports for which no documentation has appeared, and, in a few cases, more recent literature reports for which we have not yet received documentation. We request data documenting native occurrence in North Carolina, as well as locality and population data. Watch Category 4 (W4 - rare, but believed not native) includes species known to occur in North Carolina which current data suggest are not native to North Carolina, but whose native occurrence is plausible. Some of these species were previously listed at a higher level, but field investigations suggest that all known North Carolina occurrences are introductions. We request data documenting the native occurrences of the species in North Carolina. Watch Category Sa (WSa - rare because of severe decline) includes species which have declined sharply in North Carolina, but which do not appear yet to warrant site-specific monitoring. Most species in this category haveundergone declines of more than 50% (in many cases more than 90%) from their pre-Columbian status. Reasons for decline include exotic pests or pathogens, massive modification of the landscape, suppression of natural fires, and failure of reproduction. Because many of these species were once abundant or even dominant in parts of North Carolina, they may still be fairly common or frequently encountered, despite the strong decline. If current trends continue, however, many of these species will be threatened witfi extirpation in all or a major part of their ranges in North Carolina. Watch Category Sb (Exploited Plants) These are generally widespread species, at least within their physiographic province, that are in commercial demand and are often collected and sold in high volume. Such high volume collection can cause local extirpation and is not sustainable in the long run . This-category has been created to bring attention to the issue before commercial collection of these species gets to the point where these species become rare. Allium tricoccurn, Galax urceolata, Hypnum curvifolium, Hypnum impoens, and Thuidium delicalulum are being monitored on federal lands in order to document the long term effects of commercial levels of collection. Monitoring of the other species would also be beneficial. The NHP requests information on locations of monitored populations, illegal collection incidents and amounts collected legally. Not included in this category are species that are already listed in other sections of this rare plant list. Watch Category 6 (W6 - regionally rare) includes species which are rare in one region of North Carolina, while being uncommon to abundant within another region. These regional rarities, generally within-state disjuncts, are significant for protection of genetic variation and long-term viability of species. The W6 list follows the main Watch list. See the W6 section for additional discussion. Watch Category 7 (W 7 - rare and poorly known) includes species with inadequate information about their distribution and rarity in North Carolina. These are generally species which have not been previously listed as rare in North Carolina, but which appear to be so, based on herbarium records and field experience of NC NHP staff, contractees, and cooperating scientists. Further information is needed in order to determine the true status of these species in North Carolina. We request locality and population data on these species.

93 Watch Category 6 (W6 - regionally rare) includes species which are rare in one region of North Carolina, while being uncommon to abundant within another region. These regional rarities, generally within-state disjuncts, are significant for protection of genetic variation and long-term viability of species. A list of North Carolina's rare plants is, of course; determined by the arbitrary, political boundaries of the state. Biological rarity, however, is determined by the natural boundaries of physiography, geology, soils, and climate. These and other physical, biological, and historic factors have determined the evolutionary history and phytogeography of plants currently occupying what is now called "North Carolina." Rarity in one part of the state
' especially when disjunct from the region of greater abundance can have as much biological significance as disjunctions from another state. Disjunct populations nearly always have some level of genetic differentiation from populations in the main part of a species' range. If this genetic differentiation is great enough ' and obvious enough '9 the disjunct population may be recognized as a separate species, subspecies, or variety. In many cases, however, the genetic differentiation is not great enough (or is not obvious enough with the relatively crude taxonomic tools which have been applied to most taxa) to have warranted the naming of a distinct taxon. Further study will likely show that many disjunct populations do warrant taxonomic status. Preservation of biodiversity requires not only preventing the extinction of species, but also maintaining genetic diversity within the species.
The long-term viability of a species is dependent on the genetic diversity represented within and between different populations of the species. Disjunct and peripheral populations are especially likely to contain genetic material rare or absent in the bulk of the species' populations. Moreover, within-state disjunctions are likely to serve as indicators of regionally unique or unusual habitats. Attention to such species is especially important in county natural area inventories and regional planning. The following list of Watch Category 6 plants is not exhaustive, but represents some of the most important and significant within-state disjunctions. An emphasis has been placed on species which are disjunct rather than peripheral Y that is, which have a demonstrable gap in their North. Carolina ranges. Examples are Rhododendron catawbiense, which is rather common at high to medium elevations in the mountains, but occurs in small, disjunct populations in the lower Piedmont and upper Coastal Plain, and Pogonia ophioglossoides, a primarily Coastal Plain species, occurring in rare bogs in the mountains.

96 POTENTIAL NEW TO NORTH CAROLINA PLANTS The following list is of species not currently known to occur in North Carolina, but which are considered to have some possibility of being found in North Carolina , based on their currently known range and habitat preferences. Most are species which occur in the adjacent states of South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, or Virginia, in habitats at least relatively similar to habitats known to exist in North Carolina. The purpose of this list is to foster understanding of the flora of North Carolina by challenging botanists to find new state records; this list should give field investigators an idea of some of the species that may be native com ponents of North Carolina's flora. While some of these species may have relatively remote chances of being found in North Carolina, the likelihood of finding new state records is greatly increased by being aware of the possibilities and by species-directed searching. State records of native vascular plants are being found at the rate of about five per year. Our knowledge of North Carolina's flora is still imperfect, and many natural areas are being destroyed before they can beinvestigated; certainly a number of native species have been extirpated from North Carolina before they were ever documented as occurring in the state. Following each species is the North Carolina province in which the species is considered most likely to be found. Where possible, a description of the typical habitat of the species in the vicinity of North Carolina is also given. Sometimes, the nearest known occurrence(s) to North Carolina. are also listed, with the distance from North Carolina in number of counties in brackets. For instance [1] indicates that the species has been reported from a county immediately adjacent to North Carolina; [5] indicates that the species has been reported from a county five counties away from the North Carolina border. An average county width in and around North Carolina is about 25 miles, so[5] indicates an approximate distance from North Carolina of 100-125 miles. While distance from the state is an interesting piece of information, it is probably a poor indicator of the probability of occurrence in North Carolina, since long distance disjunctions to the mountains (from the north) and to the coastal plain (from the south) are frequent.
