Wetland Indicator Status definitions (Reed, 1988):

OBL = obligate wetland species, occurs almost always in wetlands (>99% probability).
FACW = facultative wetland species, usually found in wetlands (67-99% probability).
FAC = facultative species, equally likely to occur in wetlands or nonwetlands (34-66% probability).
FACU = facultative upland species, usually found in nonwetlands (67-99% probability).
+ or - symbols are modifiers that indicate greater or lesser affinity for wetland habitats.
NI = no indicator has been assigned due to a lack of information to determine indicator status.
* = a tentative assignment to that indicator status by Reed (1988).
( ) Parentheses around an indicator status indicates wetland indicator status as suggested by David L. Magney based on extensive field observations.
