Pacific Island Plant Restoration Database
| An interactive plant key, designed as a tool to assist managers of Pacific Island restoration projects in selecting plants appropriate for their project outplanting sites in the Pacific Region. Pacific Island Plant Restoration is an interactive plant key, designed as a tool to assist managers of Pacific Island restoration projects in selecting plants appropriate for their project outplanting sites in the Pacific Region. This database specifically covers Palau, Guam, The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia, American Samoa and the Hawaiian Islands. This computer-based tool is modeled after Riparian Plant Restoration, a management tool for habitat restoration in Hawai'i (2004). It compiles information from restoration projects and comprehensive literature research with guidance from engineers, hydrologists, botanists, soil scientists, and conservation biologists. This key was constructed using LucID version 3.4 by Laura M. Crago, and Christopher F. Puttock (2008) in association with the Hawai'i Conservation Alliance and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. This key has been upgraded and extended from three earlier versions constructed using LucID Professional by the Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI. Funding for Pacific Island Plant Restoration Version 2.0 was provided by Tropical Technology Consortium of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, United States Department of Agriculture, and the Hawai'i Community Foundation’s Virginia and Colin Lennox Botanical Fund. |
