  2. Environmental Criteria • Native plant communities predominate • Habitats exist in forms that support MDP native species (Baydack, Campa et al. 1999). • Unique features of landscapes are protected. • Contiguous habitats exist beyond the reach of stochastic events. • Connectivity between habitats is redundant and grain appropriate for native species. • Resources essential to migratory species exist. • Natural disturbance regimes exist. • Soils retain natural mineral nutrient levels and moisture content to sustain native plant species. • Soils retain natural porosity and percolation, stormwater retention, and erosion resistance. • Soils remain clean enough to support native plants, bacteria, fungi, and soil organisms. • Water quantity and speed of surface flows meet historic cycles, durations, and intensities. • Average volumes of groundwater is balanced between withdrawals and recharge. • Water quality of all surface and groundwater is free of contaminates that threaten life. • Flowing water has no non-negotiable obstruction to passage of native life. • Air quality poses no threats to life and photosynthesis. • Global climate is unaffected by human actions with energy budgets on land similar to native landscapes and no increase in airborne pollutants that increase greenhouse gases. • Atmospheric radiation shield is maintained.
