Subject: Mapping native plants

This is from the Sunday NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/03/nyregion/03flora.html?ref=science . From the article:

Hoping to revive the plants, the scientists recently completed a 20-year project mapping species in every county within a 50-mile radius of New York, providing detailed information on the health of more than 15,000 native and nonnative species.

AND

Over the last two decades, the botanical garden has relied on dozens of individuals and local botanical groups to survey blocks of land in their neighborhoods, counting and identifying plants in open fields, vacant lots and even sidewalk cracks.

The map itself may be seen at: http://www.bbg.org/sci/nymf/maps/index.html .
