Native Habitat Inventory Final Report 2004 - St. Lucie County

It is important to recognize that this proportionality relation indicates the likelihood of
which natural communities may be within the county and where they may reside. Actual
occurrences of natural communities should be verified in the field. Although an attempt
was made to have a representative field sample of all community types within the county,
it should be noted that some FNAI Natural Community types that are likely to occur
within the county are not depicted on this natural community map. This is a result of the
fact that they were not sampled during the survey.
Further discussion on methods, limitations, and artifacts, and how they impacted this
project can be found in Appendix H.
