Extractions: The Reserve represents the Louisianian Biographic Region in NOAA's efforts to have all bioregions represented in the National System. The Apalachicola Estuary is a lagoon and barrier island complex. It has been classified as a shallow coastal plain estuary oriented in an east west direction. Because of the placement of the barrier island complex, it could be called a coastal lagoon. In terms of Pritchard's estuarine classification scheme, the Apalachicola Bay System is a width-dominated estuary controlled by lunar tides and wind currents. As such, it would be considered a Type D estuary in Conner's classification. More than 1,500 plant species have been identified within the Apalachicola drainage basin with 107 of them listed as threatened or endangered. Also, the largest stand of tupelo trees in the world is found in the lower Apalachicola River flood plain. A variety of vegetative communities, such as coastal scrub, dunes, pine flatwoods, oak hammocks, marshes, ponds and sloughs are found on the Reserve's islands. Vegetation in the salt marshes is made up primarily of black needlerush, smooth cordgrass, and saltgrass. Freshwater ponds and marshes are dominated by sawgrass and cattail.

Extractions: Copeland Tops State Forest: Compartment 403 A Hotbed of Biodiversity High Conservation Value The compartment is of high conservation value and a priority for reservation because of extremely high faunal diversity, the occurrence of old growth and an area identified as a high elevation wet forest centre of endemism. It was identified as being required for the Reserve System but was deferred for "Further Consideration" because of objections from the Dept of Mineral Resources. Rich Diversity of Fauna This compartment and its immediate vicinity has been identified in the Comprehensive Regional Assessment (CRA) as containing quality habitat for a staggering 26 species of threatened fauna with a further 16 identified as species of special concern and regional significance. The compartment is additionally significant as containing predicted high quality habitat for the nationally-endangered Hastings river Mouse and the nationally-vulnerable Stuttering Frog. The compartment is also very important for the Little bent -wing Bat, with known roost sites present, and the CRA database also identifies roost sites for the Large Bent-wing Bat in this compartment. [?/The CRA records the following threatened species within 5km of the compartment:
