LHI Guilds: <br />Guilds with Significant Concentration in Theme: Comments: <br />High Elevation Montane Mesic Hardwood and Mixed Forests <br />The High Elevation Montane Mesic Hardwood and Mixed Forests guild has most of its habitat <br />contained within this theme, although the Spruce -Fir Forests Theme also contributes a small <br />amount. The Spruce -Fir Forests guild, conversely, has some of it habitat contained within this <br />theme, but is otherwise primarily concentrated within the Spruce -Fir Forests Theme. <br />Species Level Effects: <br />Plants <br />Global Major Extinction Federal Federal <br />Species: Rank Endemic Disjunct Prone Status: Comments: <br />Stachys clingmanii G2Q No No No <br />Scutellaria saxatilis G3 No No No <br />Aconitum reclinatum <br />G3 <br />No <br />No <br />No <br />This species is at the <br />southern limit of its range in <br />NC and TN. <br />Brachyelytrum aristosum <br />G4G5 <br />No <br />No <br />No <br />Robinia hispida van fertilisG4TIQ <br />No <br />No <br />No <br />Trientalis borealis <br />G5 <br />No <br />Yes <br />No <br />This species is a long - <br />distance northern disjuct <br />existing in scattered <br />small populations. It is <br />particularly at risk of <br />warmer temperatures. <br />Streptopus amplexifolius <br />G5 <br />No <br />No <br />No <br />Meehania corcdata <br />G5 <br />No <br />No <br />No <br />This species is at the <br />southern limit of its range in <br />NC and TN. <br />Scutellaria ovata ssp. <br />G5T1 ?Q <br />No <br />No <br />No <br />The taxonomy of the <br />rugosa van I <br />Scutellaria ovata group is <br />poorly understood. <br />Warmer temperatures in the winter may allow new species to invade areas where cold winter <br />temperatures would otherwise be a limiting factor. Where invaders compete with rare species, <br />there could be detrimental effects to populations. <br />178 Appendix B <br />
