<br /> • Invasive, nonnative shrub cover(common buckthorn, glossy buckthorn, Tartarian honeysuckle) is
<br /> reduced to less than 5%.
<br /> • Herbaceous ground layer vegetation cover is increased to over 75%and dominated by native
<br /> grasses, sedges, and forbs. Invasive herbaceous plant cover is less than 5%.
<br /> • Diverse ground layer vegetation is established using diverse native seed mixes and plugs that
<br /> include species that can provide floral resources for pollinators throughout the growing season.

<br /> 3.2 Dry - Mesic Oak Woodland Existing Cover Type
<br /> Although this cover type was not initially assessed in detail for restoration, cursory field observations
<br /> indicated potential for improving the quality of 0.5-acre of woodland cover using the same restoration
<br /> activities/methods used for the Lowland Hardwoods.
<br /> Due to the oak-dominated canopy cover, restoration towards a native plant community(NPC) resembling
<br /> Pin Oak—Bur Oak Woodland (FDs37b) is recommended. This woodland NPC has been mapped and
<br /> described based on vegetation plots sampled by the Minnesota Biological Survey. The following weblink
<br /> provides a MN DNR fact sheet describing the vegetation structure and composition, landscape setting
<br /> and soils, and natural history of Pin Oak—Bur Oak Woodlands.
