information on each additional document to Peggy Gabriel who will update etc <br />this table. Contact Meredith if you have any questions or suggestions on the <br />format, categories, etc. <br />4. Land Cover Mapping - Ecological Quality Modifiers <br />As requested by the LUG work group, Meredith has developed some suggested <br />language for natural community ecological quality ratings to be used in the Mn <br />Land Cover Classification System ( MLCCS) inventory and mapping process we will <br />be doing for Hugo and Lino Lakes. Here is Meredith's latest version. It <br />applies to both natural communities and restorations that are intended to mimic <br />natural cover. Would any of you interested /concerned about this please look it <br />over & get Meredith your comments? We will be convening soon a special meeting' <br />on how we are going to proceed on the MLCCS part of this project. <br />33X -- Modifiers that reflect natural quality of a site <br />331 - High quality natural community <br />High quality examples of natural communities include a <br />large portion of the species typical of the community (see the community <br />descriptions section). Few weedy plants are present. (Weedy species can be <br />native or non - native and are typical of disturbed areas. In forests weedy <br />species include boxelder, buckthorn, prickly ash, and garlic mustard; in <br />prairies they include red cedar, sumac, brome grass, and Kentucky blue - grass.) <br />Most natural processes are occurring, including disturbances such as fire or <br />flooding, if appropriate. There is little or no evidence of human disturbances, <br />such as logging or livestock grazing. <br />332 - Medium quality natural community <br />Medium quality examples of natural communities lack many <br />of the species typical of the community. Weedy species may be abundant, but <br />they are not dominant over the typical native species. (In communities with <br />multiple layers of vegetation, weedy species are not dominant in any layer.) <br />Natural processes may have changed and there may be evidence of human <br />disturbance, but the nature of the community has not been altered beyond <br />recognition. <br />333 - Low Quality <br />In low quality examples of natural communities weedy <br />species are dominant in any or all layers of vegetation. Natural processes are <br />highly altered and there are extensive human disturbances. The community may <br />not resemble any naturally- occurring community (i.e. one described by DNR <br />Natural Heritage or USNVC). <br />5. Minutes of 4/20/00 Work Group Meeting <br />Attached (LUGminutes_4_20_00.wpd) are some minutes of the last meeting based on <br />notes taken by me and Samantha Hayes. Obviously, they are selective and don't <br />reflect all of the good discussion and ideas we had. Let me know if you have <br />corrections or additions. <br />6. Other Work Items <br />* Hugo meeting - I'd like to set up a meeting with the new. Hugo City <br />Administrator that would preferably happen sometime this month. Who would like <br />to go on that meeting? Interested DNR folks: is your groupwise calendar up -to- <br />date so I can check your day /time availability? <br />
