The key resource available here is information on what tree species would naturally occur in each location in the absence of human disturbance. This helps restoration practitioners understand the ecological potential of different sites and make informed decisions about what species can grow—and should be planted—where. The seed zone maps, also available here, serves as an essential starting point, helping users match species to site conditions. These maps are intended to be used alongside species-specific information and local knowledge of microsite variation to support effective, site-appropriate restoration.
