Canbys_Dropwort_Potential_Habitat (FeatureServer)

View In: Map Viewer

Service Description: This dataset was originally created in February 2022 as part of the Project ATLAS initiative at NCDOT to support the Environmental Analysis Unit (EAU) Mitigation and Modeling Unit with project delivery in the development phase. Model output is binary, and includes the USFWS species range, excluding historic counties. The species model range is split between “High” and “Low” potential habitat. “High potential habitat” represents GIS based layer areas deemed suitable habitat, and “Low potential habitat” represents areas deemed low quality or non-habitat. This model identifies all year-round potential suitable habitat for the species. The Optimal survey window for Canbys Dropwort is Mid July – September. This dataset supports the production of the Natural Resources Technical Report (NRTR). This dataset also contains information that may assist biologists in preparing background information for field surveys, in order to address protected species for Threatened & Endangered Species Survey Reports, and/or Biological Assessments.

Canbys Dropwort Potential Habitat (0)

Description:

The Canbys Dropwort Potential Habitat dataset is a polygon layer depicting high and low potential habitat locations for Canbys Dropwort in NC counties that have a USFWS "current" status listing.

Canbys Dropwort (Tiedemannia canbyi) occurs in the Coastal Plain and Sandhills in moist habitat areas such as Cypress Savannas, wet meadows, wet pineland savannas, ditches, cypress-pine swamps or sloughs, grass-sedge dominated Carolina bays, and the shallows and edges of cypress/pine ponds. The most vigorous occurrences are found in open bays and ponds that are wet for most of the year with little or no canopy cover. Ideal soils for this perennial herb are acidic, deep, and poorly drained sandy loams or peat-mucks underlain by a clay layer, and have a medium to high organic content and high water table. Soil series that support the species include Coxville, Grady, McColl, Portsmouth, Rains, and Rembert. Canby’s Dropwort is restricted to a narrow, intermediate range of mean water depths where too much or too little water can adversely affect it. Evidence of infrequent and shallow inundations is also found at site occurrences.

One population has been observed in NC; however, this population was last observed in 2004 despite more recent searches (NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP 2020, USFWS 2015).

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. Use of this dataset for project scoping or screening is merely pre-decisional
