The upstream and derived-output licenses are recorded separately. A hash detects a changed mutable download; it does not by itself preserve unavailable upstream bytes.

Coverage contract

Table 2 rates 38 wildfire-resistant, non-invasive plants low or moderate flammability using the UF/IFAS Circular 1453 methodology (Behm, Long, Monroe, Randall, Zipperer, Hermansen-Baez 2004), with the document's own placement mapping — low-flammability plants may be planted 3 to 30 feet from a building, moderate ones beyond 30 feet. Verdict map: low = recommend, moderate = mixed.

The only rated Minnesota list; a clean application of the Florida flammability key to northeastern Minnesota natives, with growing-condition columns (form, soil moisture, sun, hardiness zones). The document's boreal-tree flammability table (Table 1) is attributed to Manitoba's FireSmart program and is not part of this source's own ratings. The pinned input is 4,647,325 bytes; SHA-256: d2ae26cd78f2246f54435421d6914900cea71475bb70249d1447accf945bb042.

Each row names the evidence channel this source supports. Range, status, hardiness, and fire-ecology context remain separate from fire classification.
