Note: Richness classes were determined by Natural Breaks using data from all 13 states and Puerto Rico together.
The Southern Forest Land Assessment is a cooperative project
of the Southern Group of State Foresters to spatially identify
important forest lands in the 13 southern states and Puerto Rico.
It was funded by a Forest Stewardship Program grant from the
USDA Forest Service.
