[SOS-PCA] Plant Conservation Alliance meeting, Tuesday, November 13th, from 2:00 - 4:00 pm ET

[Prescott, Leah]

***The next Plant Conservation Alliance meeting is on Tuesday, November
13th, from 2:00 - 4:00 pm ET.***

The Plant Conservation Alliance (PCA) holds regular meetings that are open
to everyone and usually accessible online. This month, the PCA is excited
to welcome Gerry Moore, US Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources
Conservation Service's National Plant Data Team Lead, to present "An
overview of rare plant protection by states" from 2:00-3:00 pm ET, on
November 13th:

The USDA PLANTS Data Team provides standardized information about the
vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens of the U.S. and
its territories. PLANTS T&E provides access to state and federally
protected plants. However, not all states have laws that protect plants, so
there are no lists for those states, except for NatureServe S ranks.

In his presentation, Gerry will provide an overview of the variation in
rare plant protection from state to state, starting with states that have
full legal protection to states that have no legal protection. Gerry will
also cover how state level information can be used to further assess
species globally. There are a subset of plants that are not tracked as
globally imperiled but yet are tracked as rare at the state level
throughout most of their range. These may represent species that are
experiencing significant recent declines. Finally, Gerry will touch on the
issue of nativity assignment and how, in some cases, it can be rather
intractable.
