This report, also <br />draws on complementary data from the ELEMENT GLOBAL RANKING (EGR) file and <br />the PLANT, VERTEBRATE, and INVERTEBRATE CHARACTERIZATION ABSTRACT <br />(PCAG, VCAG, and ICAG) files. <br /> <br />The ES file contains information on the stewardship management of selected Elements <br />and EMGs. Each ES record summarizes a particular Element's or EMG's natural <br />history, and conditions, as well as management, monitoring and research programs and <br />needs. Any Element may be recorded in the ES file: an Element need not be high <br />conservation priority (i.e., highly ranked) to be included. Pest and weed species and <br />stewardship-defined groups of Elements (i.e., EMGs such as "pest hogs", "darters", <br />"mosquitos", etc.) may also be included. <br />
