What do these codes mean?

Codes rank confidence that a plant supports local wildlife here in Northside. N1 is native to Hamilton County (highest confidence); N2–N4 are native to progressively broader ecoregions; N5 is native to the wider Eastern Temperate Forest but least likely to be recognized by our local insects. See the Resources page for the full explanation.
