ELEMENT STEWARDSHIP ABSTRACT Element Stewardship Abstracts (ESAs) are prepared to provide The Nature Conservancy's Stewardship staff and other land managers with current management related information on those species and communities that are most important to protect, or most important to control. the abstracts organize and summarize data from numerous sources including literature and researchers and managers actively working with the species or community. We hope, by providing this abstract, to encourage users to contribute their information to the abstract. This sharing of information will benefit all land managers by ensuring the availability of an abstract that contains up-to-date information on management techniques and knowledgeable contacts. Contributors of information will be acknowledged within the abstract and receive updated editions. The sources from which the information in the abstract comes are dependant upon the research and observations of many scientists and individuals. In most cases, this information is not the result of comprehensive site-specific field surveys, and may not be confirmed by Nature Conservancy staff. Many areas of the United States have never been thoroughly surveyed, and new plants and animals are still being discovered. Information in this abstract should never be regarded as a final statement or substituted for on-site surveys required for environmental assessments. Views expressed in the abstract are those of the author and not of The Nature Conservancy. They represent the best assessment of the author in light of the information available. This abstract is a compilation of available information and is not an endorsement of particular practices or products. Please do not remove this cover statement from the attached abstract. 4) THE NATURE CONSERVANCY 1815 North Lynn Street, Arlington, Virginia 22209
