Element & element occurrence An element is any exemplary or rare component of the natural environment, such as a species, natural community, bird rookery, spring, sinkhole, cave, or other ecological feature. An element occurrence (EO) is a single extant habitat that sustains or otherwise contributes to the survival of a population or a distinct, self-sustaining example of a particular element.
Ranking system Using a ranking system developed by The Nature Conservancy and the Natural Heritage Program Network, the Florida Natural Areas Inventory assigns two ranks to each element. The global rank is based on an element's worldwide status; the state rank is based on the status of the element in Florida. Element ranks are based on many factors, the most important ones being estimated number of element occurrences, estimated abundance (number of individuals for species; area for natural communities), range, estimated adequately protected EOs, relative threat of destruction, and ecological fragility. FNAI GLOBAL RANK DEFINITIONS G1 = Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences or less than 1000 individuals) or because of extreme vulnerability to extinction due to some natural or man-made factor. G2 = Imperiled globally because of rarity (6 to 20 occurrences or less than 3000 individuals) or because of vulnerability to extinction due to some natural or man-made factor. G3 = Either very rare and local throughout its range (21-100 occurrences or less than 10,000 individuals) or found locally in a restricted range or vulnerable to extinction from other factors. G4 = Apparently secure globally (may be rare in parts of range). G5 = Demonstrably secure globally. GH = Of historical occurrence throughout its range, may be rediscovered (e.g., ivory-billed woodpecker). GX = Believed to be extinct throughout range. GXC = Extirpated from the wild but still known from captivity or cultivation. G#? = Tentative rank (e.g., G2?). G#G# = Range of rank; insufficient data to assign specific global rank (e.g., G2G3). G#T# = Rank of a taxonomic subgroup such as a subspecies or variety; the G portion of the rank refers to the entire species and the T portion refers to the specific subgroup; numbers have same definition as above (e.g., G3T1). G#Q = Rank of questionable species - ranked as species but questionable whether it is species or subspecies; numbers have same definition as above (e.g., G2Q). G#T#Q = Same as above, but validity as subspecies or variety is questioned. GU = Unrankable; due to a lack of information no rank or range can be assigned (e.g., GUT2). GNA = Ranking is not applicable because the element is not a suitable target for conservation (e.g. a hybrid species). GNR = Element not yet ranked (temporary). GNRTNR = Neither the element nor the taxonomic subgroup has yet been ranked. FNAI STATE RANK DEFINITIONS S1 = Critically imperiled in Florida because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences or less than 1000 individuals) or because of extreme vulnerability to extinction due to some natural or man-made factor. S2 = Imperiled in Florida because of rarity (6 to 20 occurrences or less than 3000 individuals) or because of vulnerability to extinction due to some natural or man-made factor. S3 = Either very rare and local in Florida (21-100 occurrences or less than 10,000 individuals) or found locally in a restricted range or vulnerable to extinction from other factors. S4 = Apparently secure in Florida (may be rare in parts of range). S5 = Demonstrably secure in Florida. SH = Of historical occurrence in Florida, possibly extirpated, but may be rediscovered (e.g., ivory-billed woodpecker). SX = Believed to be extirpated throughout Florida. SU = Unrankable; due to a lack of information no rank or range can be assigned. SNA = State ranking is not applicable because the element is not a suitable target for conservation (e.g. a hybrid species). SNR = Element not yet ranked (temporary).

Threatened: species likely to become Endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. LT,PDL Species currently listed threatened but has been proposed for delisting. LT,PE Species currently listed Threatened but has been proposed for listing as Endangered. SAT Treated as threatened due to similarity of appearance to a species which is federally listed such that enforcement personnel have difficulty in attempting to differentiate between the listed and unlisted species. PE Proposed for listing as Endangered species. PT Proposed for listing as Threatened species. C Candidate species for which federal listing agencies have sufficient information on biological vulnerability and threats to support proposing to list the species as Endangered or Threatened. XN Non-essential experimental population. SC Not currently listed, but considered a “species of concern” to USFWS. N Not currently listed, nor currently being considered for listing as Endangered or Threatened. STATE LEGAL STATUS Provided by FNAI for information only. For official definitions and lists of protected species, consult the relevant state agency. Animals: Definitions derived from “Florida’s Endangered Species and Species of Special Concern, Official Lists” published by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, 1 August 1997, and subsequent updates. LE LT LS PE PT PS N
Endangered: species, subspecies, or isolated population so few or depleted in number or so restricted in range that it is in imminent danger of extinction. Threatened: species, subspecies, or isolated population facing a very high risk of extinction in the future. Species of Special Concern is a species, subspecies, or isolated population which is facing a moderate risk of extinction in the future. Proposed for listing as Endangered. Proposed for listing as Threatened. Proposed for listing as Species of Special Concern. Not currently listed, nor currently being considered for listing.
Plants: Definitions derived from Sections 581.011 and 581.185(2), Florida Statutes, and the Preservation of Native Flora of Florida Act, 5B-40.001. FNAI does not track all state-regulated plant species; for a complete list of stateregulated plant species, call Florida Division of Plant Industry, 352-372-3505 or see: http://www.doacs.state.fl.us/pi/. LE LT PE PT N
Endangered: species of plants native to Florida that are in imminent danger of extinction within the state, the survival of which is unlikely if the causes of a decline in the number of plants continue; includes all species determined to be endangered or threatened pursuant to the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Threatened: species native to the state that are in rapid decline in the number of plants within the state, but which have not so decreased in number as to cause them to be Endangered. Proposed for listing as Endangered. Proposed for listing as Threatened. Not currently listed, nor currently being considered for listing.
SPECIAL ANIMAL LISTINGS - STATE AND FEDERAL STATUS Grus americana (whooping crane) - Federally listed as XN (nonessential experimental population) which refers to the Florida experimental population only; Federal listing elsewhere is LE. Pandion haliaetus (osprey) - State listed as LS (Species of Special Concern) in Monroe county only; not listed in rest of state. Mustela vison mink pop1 (southern mink, S. Florida population) - State listed as LT (Threatened) which refers to the Everglades population only; species formerly listed as Mustela vison evergladensis. Ursus americanus floridanus (Florida black bear) - State listed as LT but not applicable in Baker and Columbia counties or the Apalachicola National Forest.
