<div>The American chaffseed Potential Habitat dataset is a polygon layer depicting high, moderate and low potential habitat locations for American chaffseed in NC counties that have a USFWS "current" status listing. American chaffseed (Schwalbea americana), generally occurs in habitats described as open, moist to dryish Mesic Pine Flatwoods and longleaf pine flatlands, Pine Savannas, Pine/Scrub Oak Sandhills, Sandhill Seeps, and other open grass/sedge-dominated communities. This herb also occurs in the ecotonal areas between peaty wetlands and xeric sandy soils and on the upper ecotones of, or sites close, to Streamhead Pocosins. The species prefers sandy peat or sandy loam, acidic, seasonally moist to dry soils in sunny or partly sunny areas subject to frequent fires in the growing season. The plant is dependent on factors such as fire, mowing, or fluctuating water tables to maintain its required open to partly-open habitat. Most extant occurrences, and all of the most vigorous occurrences, are in areas subject to frequent fire. This species is also known to occur on road cuts and power line rights-of-way that experience frequent mowing or clearing. Soil series that it is found on include Blaney, Candor, Gelead, Fuquay, Lakeland, and Vaucluse.The three levels are: Low, Moderate, and High Probability of Potential Habitat (based on similarity of environmental conditions to those found at known occurrence locations). These levels represent the fact that given limited knowledge of species biology, continuously changing environments, and potential for gaps and error in both species and environment data, a model prediction dependent on remotely-sensed data can never predict species occurrence or habitat with absolute accuracy and precision. Thus, “Low” probability habitat represents regions and sites where biologists would be very surprised to find this species and its habitat (occurrence here should be extremely rare). In “High” probability habitat, biologists expect to frequently encounter areas that look like potential habitat based on visible environmental and vegetation community characteristics. The thresholds for this species are: Low-Moderate (0.28) and ModerateHigh (0.35). </div><div><br /></div><div>For more information please click here https://xfer.services.ncdot.gov/gisdot/AtlasMetadata/</div><div><br /></div><div>Datasets developed under Project ATLAS do not replace any NRTR work for future projects and may not be used as a replacement for site visits / field surveys by qualified professionals and hence should be used only as a supporting platform for decision making.

The Environmental Analysis Unit (EAU) Mitigation and Modeling Unit within NCDOT was tasked to create this dataset. This dataset supports the production of the Natural Resources Technical Report (NRTR). Maintenance of this dataset is handled by the EAU. Support and maintenance of the enterprise spatial database where this data resides is handled by NCDIT's Transportation GIS Unit.
