Now you can also explore the map from within your browser. In the map you’ll see the vegetation type at the position of your mouse point. To get more information about the vegetation at any location, double click the map, and a pop-up will show with the vegetation name and a link that will open (in a separate tab/window) a fact sheet with a concise description of that vegetation type and a list of species naturally occurring in the selected potential natural vegetation type. Click here for an overview of the map features.
