Study Extent
Inventory of plants from the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens with a focus on plants of the Acadian Forest Region.Sampling
The data supplied by the HIBG contain mutliple specimens with the same accession number. As the data are loaded, if the accession number already existed, the UTM coordinates are appended to that record’s UTM coordinates. Thus, more than one coordinate may exist for a specimen because multiple clones of the specimen were planted throughout the gardens.Quality Control
