3. Wildlifeland


 Due to its geographic position, this community is valuable to migrating
 bird life headed to South America for wintering. It serves the same
 purpose on the return trip, acting primarily as resting cover. It is well
 suited for deer, bobcat, owls, and small rodents. Many reptiles find
 suitable habitat in this community.

4. Woodland

 This community has a moderate potential productivity for commercial wood
 production. There are moderate equipment limitations and severe seedling
 mortality due to the rocky soil conditions. The commercial species for
 planting is slash pine. Potential annual growth is 0.9 cords per acre for
 South Florida slash pine and 0.7 cords per acre for slash pine.

5. Urbanland

 This community is subject to some unique limitations for urban
 development. The hard limestone rock is on or near the surface and
 special equipment is needed for excavations evacuation. The most serious
 limitations for urban development are those imposed by the above factor
 and a high water table during the rainy season.

 Native plants can be used for beautification and require minimum
 establishment and maintenance. Some of the trees are cabbage palm,
 live oak, myrsine, silver palm, and slash pine. Some of the shrubs are
 coco plum, dahoon holly, Florida fiddlewood, Florida privet, marlberry,
 sawpalmetto, varnish leaf, and southern waxmyrtle. Some of the herbaceous
 plants are aster, bunchflower, cone flowers, crotalaria, ferns, iris,
 meadow beauty, partridge pea, rose-mallow, and sunflower.

 The most important urban wildlife is songbirds and rabbit. Undisturbed
 areas do provide good escape cover for many other forms of wildlife.
