St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge Plant Database
Spreadsheet
The natural resource management staff at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge determined a need for an updated plant survey on the refuge including the main island (St. Vincent Island) and the Pig Island unit (located in St. Joe Bay). This data set consist of a list of 596 species found on the two units. The list provides the common and scientific name, author citation, characteristics, flowering date, life history, life form, origin, wetland and Florida status, and species at risk/rank for each plant. The data were generated along with a vegetation map for the area.
To inventory plant species on the refuge's units and update existing plant surveys.

Species were identified onsite. Species that were not identified in the field were collected and later identified in the lab, using regional field guides.
Completeness of identification is unknown. The site was visited over a two-year period, leading to refiniment of the plant database and further species identification.

Field collection
Before field collection was performed, information was obtained regarding previously published vegetation data. Initial site reconnaissance, specimen collection, and initial descriptions of plant communities completed the field phase of the project. Additional site visits were conducted through a two year period for refinement of plant species inventory. The final data development phase included compliation of all data and development of a database using Microsoft Access software.
