Categories of Saline Wetlands
In the Resource Categorization of Nebraska’s Eastern Saline Wetlands, wetlands are categorized into one of four groups:
- Category 1 – Site currently provides saline wetland functions of high value or has the potential to provide high values following restoration or enhancement measures.
- Category 2 – Given current land use and degree of degradation, site currently provides limited saline wetland functions and low values. Restoration potential is low. These sites are so degraded that they are not considered as restorable in the Landscape Objectives section. If, in the future, a Category 2 wetland is determined to be restorable, then the restoration will be considered as contributing to Landscape Objective 4.
- Category 3 – Site is functioning as a freshwater wetland having freshwater plant communities on a saline soil. Currently provides freshwater wetland values and no feasible restoration measures exist to re-establish the historic salt source and saline plant associations.
- Category 4 – Site is functioning as a freshwater wetland having freshwater plant communities on a non-saline hydric soil.

Famous quotes containing the words categories of and/or categories:
“Kitsch ... is one of the major categories of the modern object. Knick-knacks, rustic odds-and-ends, souvenirs, lampshades, and African masks: the kitsch-object is collectively this whole plethora of “trashy,” sham or faked objects, this whole museum of junk which proliferates everywhere.... Kitsch is the equivalent to the “cliché” in discourse.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Of course I’m a black writer.... I’m not just a black writer, but categories like black writer, woman writer and Latin American writer aren’t marginal anymore. We have to acknowledge that the thing we call “literature” is more pluralistic now, just as society ought to be. The melting pot never worked. We ought to be able to accept on equal terms everybody from the Hassidim to Walter Lippmann, from the Rastafarians to Ralph Bunche.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
