Field Guides

A detailed guide to the standard classification system of 81 natural communities developed by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory and used by several state agencies. Includes community descriptions, species lists, synonyms, and cross-walks to other classification systems. This is the original edition of the Guide as published in 1990. We anticipate updating the Guide in the near future.
