CNHP Observation – Sightings of species on CNHP's watchlist or sightings of tracked elements that do not meet the minimum criteria necessary to make an occurrence. CNHP PCA – Areas in the state contributing to Colorado’s biological diversity. CNHP Model – Modeled presumed presence or habitat for a particular species. CNHP PCA (Important Plant Area) – B1 or B2 CNHP potential conservation area supporting globally rare plants. CNHP Range Map – Overall range for a particular species by HUC 10 and HUC 12 for aquatics. Important Bird Area – The most important places for birds as identified by the National Audubon Society. State Natural Area - Areas that contain at least one unique or high-quality natural feature of statewide significance as designated by the Colorado Natural Areas Program. CPW <description> - CPW data with a long list of data types: observations, nest sites, leks, etc. Easement Holder – Organization or agency holding an easement (if present). – CNHP Potential Conservation Areas (PCA), State Designated Natural Areas, Important Bird Areas, and managed lands from the Colorado Ownership, Management and Protection database (COMaP), SB181 High Priority Habitat Special Areas Name – The name of the special area. State Rarity - The rarity rank used by CNHP and The Natural Heritage Network to track how rare a species or plant community is in Colorado, ranging from S1 (rarest) to S5 (most common). Viability Rank – The estimated viability of the species or ecological integrity of the natural community based on condition, size, and landscape context, ranging from A (excellent) to D (poor). Water and Wetlands – Wetland types from the National Wetland Inventory database. Class - The general appearance of the habitat in terms of either the dominant life form of the vegetation, or the physiography and composition of the substrate. Modifier - Modifier assigned to further describe wetlands and deepwater habitats within the classification hierarchy based on water chemistry or ph, wetland or deepwater alteration, or soil type. NWI Code – An alpha-numeric code corresponding to the classification nomenclature that best describes a particular wetland habitat.
