Persons Making Contributions to PLANTS Data

The plant information required by the NRCS is derived from many sources. The most important source is the work done by individual botanists and plant scientists that contribute to the data contained within the PLANTS database. This includes the persons who have cooperated with Dr. John Kartesz to develop the vascular plant checklist utilized by PLANTS. Following is a list of persons who have made an extra contribution to the PLANTS data and database. This list is not exhaustive. If you find that your name has been inadvertently left out, please contact the NPDC.
