Bug #2640
openIdentify USDA species without county distribution where other spp in genus have distribution
0%
Description
Look at PERSBOR s.s. with all those records for NC, SC, GA, AL that are
actually P. palustris. We need a solution.
1. Create a list of all the taxa that PLANTS reports for NC&SC with no county records but for which they do report county records for other taxa in the genus. Mike Lee should do this based on USDA data I have in hand. Once this is done, the process should be repeated for each of the states in the region.
2. Once we have the lists, Alan should examine the taxa and the USDA maps, and should create a list of taxa with too many records and a list of taxa with too few records. The final lists should be shared with USDA and BONAP. Highest priority should be to complete the NC&SC list.
3. These lists contain sets of taxa that should be treated as nominals rather than USDA/JK99 concepts. We should break the USDA taxa in our database into two groups with one = USDA concepts, and the second = nominal concepts. We can assign this step to Mike Lee. I will need to explain to Michael now to access the database in which the county occurrence data are stored.
4. As a separate and contingent bug, Xianhua should split USDA in the legend into into two labels and make any code changes necessary to support this split
