19. ABSTRACT (Continued). 



Methods for applying the multiparameter approach are described. Separate sections 

 are devoted to preliminary data gathering and analysis, method selection, routine deter- 

 minations, comprehensive determinations, atypical situations, and problem areas. Three 

 levels of routine determinations are described, thereby affording significant flexibility 

 in method selection. 



Four appendices provide supporting information. Appendix A is a glossary of tech- 

 nical terms used in the manual. Appendix B contains data forms for use with the various 

 methods. Appendix C, developed by a Federal interagency panel, contains a list of all 

 plant species known to occur in wetlands of the region. Each species has been assigned an 

 indicator status that describes its estimated probability of occurring in wetlands. A 

 second list contains plant species that commonly occur in wetlands of the region. Morpho- 

 logical, physiological, and reproductive adaptations that enable a plant species to occur 

 in wetlands are also described, along with a listing of some species having such adapta- 

 tions. Appendix D describes the procedure for examining the soil for indicators of hydric 

 soil conditions, and includes a national list of hydric soils developed by the National 

 Technical Committee for Hydric Soils.
