Southern Pine Beetle Collector Map
SPB Collector map data window screen capture
The Southern Pine Beetle Collector application streamlines and standardizes field data collection. There are a variety of ways in which data can be collected and integrated into the Southern Pine Beetle (SPB) database for upward reporting. The Collector input is the most direct link! However, data that is collected via Digital Mobile Sketch…

Soil Drainage and Productivity Indexes
Photograph of a well-drained Mollisol (a Lithic Hapludoll), with a Drainage Index of 33. The shallowness of the bedrock lowers the water-holding capacity of the soil, hence the low DI value.

Individual Tree Species Parameter Maps
Individual Tree Species Parameter Maps Viewer
The Individual Tree Species Parameter Maps (ITSP) were developed to support the National Insect and Disease Risk Map (NIDRM) since insect and disease risk is often driven by the density of a given species. While similar to the Tree Atlas, the ITSP project mapped basal area and stand density index for each individual tree species. The…

Digital Mobile Sketch Mapping
Digital Mobile Sketch Mapping Screen Capture
DMSM is tablet hardware, software, and back end data support processes (ArcGIS Desktop Tools) that allow trained aerial surveyors, in light aircraft, and ground observers to record forest disturbances and their causal agents. DMSM replaces the legacy Digital Aerial Sketch Mapping (DASM) and will greatly enhance the quality and quantity of forest…

National Forest Damage Agent Range Maps
The maps are an integration of various sources, reviewed by regional authorities. For major forest damage causing insects and diseases, they display a historical record of county-level detections, highlighting the past three years of activity. For exotic insect or disease threats where rate of recent range expansion is of prime interest, the maps show a 3-year history of first -ever detection…
