| These
areas have already incurred substantial changes and because of that
are not as sensitive to further disturbances. Remnant prairies
should be preserved. |
Although
these areas are most suitable for development because of soil
characteristics, the forested areas may be worthy of selective
preservation to provide linkages and connections. |
The high
water table and the valuable habitat that are characteristic of
these areas place severe limitations to development activities. |
These
areas are susceptible to disturbances. Water fluctuation, loss
of vegetation, or human activity could destroy or greatly impact
these plant communities. |
