WIS-FACU
Wetland Indicator Status - FACU
Wetland Indicator Status (WIS) is a national list measuring the likelihood that a plant species would be found naturally occurring in a wetland environment (meaning an area characterized by flooding or saturation of soil permanently or seasonally) versus an upland environment (an area that almost never experiences saturated soils). Status may vary across regions. Our information is for the Midwest and Eastern Mountains and Piedmont regions that cover the Ohio River watershed in Ohio.
FACU - Facultative Upland
Usually occurring in non-wetlands, though rarely found in wetlands, plants with the FACU status mostly prefer to dry out completely after watering and may not tolerate poorly drained sites or persistently wet roots. UPL – Upland
