Mapping Longleaf Pine Project Data Request
We are developing a Geographic Information System (GIS) database of existing longleaf pine stand data. The database will help assess the current extent of available spatial data on longleaf pine forests and provide a building block in the restoration of the longleaf pine ecosystem.
We are requesting data from all types of land ownership and including all types of longleaf pine stands (natural and planted stands). We are also requesting spatial data about known populations of RCWs and gopher tortoises along with other threatened and endangered species. GIS or GPS files, with as much available stand information as possible, would be the most beneficial. We are also collecting any other type of data or maps that are available.
Due to the sensitive nature of some data sources, we will work with any data that can be provided at any scale. Sources will be acknowledged for their input or will remain anonymous if desired. Any potential contacts or sources of data would also be greatly appreciated. For more information contact: John Gilbert, (gilbejo@auburn.edu), at (334) 329-0236 or John Kush, (kushjoh@auburn.edu), at (334) 844-1065.
