Description:
Along with UNH Cooperative Extension and Latitude Geographics Group Ltd., GRANIT is developing a web-based data viewer that will provide land owners/managers with a tool to help manage a property for specific wildlife species. The following logic will guide the tool function: soils influence where tree species grow and tree species (or forest type) influence wildlife species distribution. Given this tenet, the tool will summarize the soils within an area of interest (AOI), describe forest successional stages and Best Management Practices (BMPs) associated with the soil units, and provide wildlife management recommendations for the associated forest types.
