GLOBAL_RNK	Global Rank - abbreviation of the worldwide status rank assigned by FNAI. The global element rank is based on an element's worldwide status. Element ranks are based on many factors, the most important ones being estimated number of Element Occurrences (EOs), estimated abundance (number of individuals for species; area for natural communities), range, estimated number of adequately protected EOs, relative threat of destruction, and ecological fragility. 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. 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. GH = Of historical occurrence throughout its range, may be rediscovered (e.g., ivory-billed woodpecker) GNA = Ranking is not applicable because element is not a suitable target for conservation (e.g. as for hybrid species) GNR = Not yet ranked (temporary) GNRTNR = Neither the full species nor the taxonomic subgroup has yet been ranked (temporary) GX = Believed to be extinct throughout range GXC = Extirpated from the wild but still known from captivity/cultivation GU = Unrankable. Due to lack of information, no rank or range can be assigned (e.g., GUT2).
ST_RANK	State Rank - abbreviation of the status rank within the state of Florida assigned by FNAI. The state element rank is based on the status of the element in Florida.

FNAI - ELEMENT TRACKING SUMMARY Using a ranking system developed by NatureServe and the Natural Heritage Program Network, the Florida Natural Areas Inventory assigns two ranks for 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 (EOs), estimated abundance (number of individuals for species; area for natural communities), geographic range, estimated number of adequately protected EOs, relative threat of destruction, and ecological fragility. FNAI GLOBAL ELEMENT RANK 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 ELEMENT RANK 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.

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
