Little Apples

Manzanita species richness Every now and then I get to make pretty maps at work. My new computer worked hard today—in a 3 1/2 hour run it produced over 7800 maps of plant species in California. After that I summed together a few of these to make species richness maps for a few favorite genera in the state. This is a map of the number of manzanita species in different parts of the state. Blue is zero species, red is high (about 10 species), and yellow is in between.

Have a happy Thanksgiving, and don’t eat like these folks.
