In this map, we see the distribution of the Black Locust tree across twenty northern states in the United States. Four colors are used to illustrate presence of the species, and green is used to represent where the species was not measured. Grey/White is used to represent where there is not forest, and blue is used to represent water.
With this map we see the same color schemes used, with the yellow to red gradient representing presence of the species, green representing the species not being measured, the non-forested area being grey/white, and blue representing water. This map is representing the Austrian Pine data and shows limited research and data on the species by having limited amounts of the yellow color used to represent presence of the species. Large amounts of the green color, or species not measured are used across the map. The yellow areas represented have an oldly circular shape to them.
With this map we see the Bigtooth Aspen's data being represented. The same color scheme as above is used. There is a much larger presence of the species and much more data for this particular species than we have seen in previous species. There is still a presence of the green color, or the species not being measured, but overwhelmingly there is a presence of the Bigtooth aspen across the Northern US.
Similar to the Bigtooth Aspen, in this map of the Bitternut Hickory Distribution there is more data than the first two maps, but less than the Bigtooth Aspen. This maps uses the same color scheme and may creep into the second of category of the presence gradient.
The Black Maple data represented in this map shows a similar amount of data as the first two maps. The presence on the map occurs in an oddly circular pattern, but overwhelming the species is not measured across the northern twenty states.
This map represented the Baldcypress and the smallest amount of data of a tree in the Map Gallery. Almost all of the map is covered in green over the forest coverage area with the smallest amount of yellow in Missouri, Illinois, and Maryland.
Most of the Ailanthus's measured presence is measured around Pennsylvania and West Virginia while most of the other states remain unmeasured. This map continues with the same color scheme as previous maps.
Only the yellow categories of the presence color scheme are used in this map of the American Chestnut, with massive amounts of the green, not measured areas. The orange, 20-29.9 square feet/acre, and red, 30+ square feet/acre, continue to not be used.
In the final map, the Black Cherry map, we finally see the bottom of the color scheme being accessed. There is a large measured presence of the Black Cherry tree across the twenty states measured. There is very little green present, large amounts of the yellows, and a pocket of the orange, and finally a speck of the red presence category used on the map.
