Define relationships between elements
Use models to allow evaluation and prioritization
4. Species Conservation Priority Score:
• Weight by Rarity/Legal Status
• G Rank (40 pts)
• S Rank (40 pts)
• Federal Status (10 pts)
• TN State Status (10 pts)
• Exponential (G1 = 40, G2 = 20, G3 = 10, etc)
•Viability/Confidence Scores for Observations
• Last Observation Date (old records, less points)
• Heritage EO Ranks Where Available
5. • Terrestrial Occurrences Linked to 700-acre hexagon clusters
called rosettes
• Aquatic Occurrences Linked to NHDPlus Flowlines & Associated
Catchments
• Subterranean Observations Linked to Cave Systems
• Cave system entrances linked to 100-acre hexagons

15. • Assume mapped semi-natural habitat restored to dominant matrix
forest type within subregion
• Use restored habitat preference scores (P) for existing GCN
occurrences in/around semi-natural habitat
Net Restoration Priority =
Restored Score – Current Semi-natural Score
If had antecedent or other potential restoration habitat map, could
use to dictate restoration scenario
