Description:

Abstract:

This map represents the distribution of seven moisture zones for the main Hawaiian Islands. The maps were produced as part of a species range modeling effort for the Hawaiian flora. Details on methodology and related products can be found in: Price, J. P., J. D. Jacobi, S. M. Gon, III, D. Matsuwaki, L. Mehrhoff, W. L. Wagner, M. Lucas, and B. Rowe. 2012, Mapping plant species ranges in the Hawaiian Islands-Developing a methodology and associated GIS layers. U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report OFR 2012-1192, Reston, VA.

Purpose:

The maps were produced as part of a species range modeling effort for the Hawaiian flora.
