The OakMapper WebGIS: improved access to sudden oak death spatial data

Abstract

Access to timely and accurate sudden oak death (SOD) location data is critical for SOD monitoring, management and research. Several websites (hereafter called the OakMapper sites) associated with sudden oak death monitoring efforts have been maintained with up-todate SOD location information for over five years, providing information and maps of the most current spatial and attribute data on Phytophthora ramorum distribution in California to the public, the California oak mortality task force, and researchers. In addition to the spatial locations of P. ramorum, the OakMapper websites maintain a range of supporting spatial data. There are two main avenues for which to view the data: static SOD maps (state, county, and local area vicinity), and the interactive and dynamic OakMapper websites.
