Parr, P D

Plant species considered endangered or threatened on the Department of Energy Oak Ridge Reservation were identified through a review of pertinent literature and evaluation of herbarium voucher specimens. Three of the species identified have been proposed for inclusion on the federal list as rare in Tennessee and twelve plant species are on the official Tennessee list of endangered and threatened plants. These rare plants should be given careful consideration in resource management and land-use planning. Protection of endangered and threatened species in their native habitats is considered the best method of ensuring their survival. In addition to habitat preservation, natural history studies of the rare species are important in determining the best habitat management procedures necessary to maintain the species. 18 references, 1 figure, 2 tables.
