Many people have contributed to PNV work over the years. More recently, the PNV mapping team has developed the vegetation zone and subzone maps. This team is Jane Kertis, Mike Simpson, Steve Acker, Pat Hochhalter, and Amy Nathanson.
Also, language on PNV definitions above was crafted in part by Mary Manning and Jack Triepke. Along with Tom DeMeo they are preparing a paper on this topic, not yet submitted as of April 2023.
