"chinkapin oak, hackberry and cottonwood" links?
? I had those linked, but they got tagged with a {{dn}} because they weren't links to specific species. The source itself doesn't give this information (all it says is "There are approximately 20.2 ha (50 acres) of upland area which includes a mix of vegetation; massive chinkapin oak, hackberry and cottonwood are among the old growth"). Since I didn't want to do OR, I just removed the links.

Ref 1 needs more information, publisher/website and publication/access date etc.
? I assume you're talking about the GNIS ref; I don't think I can do this, since the reference is provided through a template ({{Gnis}}). I can try to look at the documentation, but it doesn't seem like it will work.
