Darren Michael Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi everyone, I'm an artist/cartographer/landscape architect and palm enthusiast with also a general interest in plant geography (natural and horticultural). I've seen a lot of posts here dealing with the actual and potential ranges of various palms, including using google street views to document the northernmost/southernmost example of a given species. This goes beyond palms, but I'm curious - has anyone ever come across, or contemplated, a combination of street views at even intervals along a temperature gradient, say from New York to Key West, documenting the appearances of various species at certain points? It would create a sort of photo-transect along the gradient, and could incorporate natural ranges as well as horticultural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the question, think Inaturalist would come close, though the overall " idea " could be refined better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Michael Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Thanks! I'll take a look at Inaturalist - and yes, it's the general concept of documenting/illustrating these large-scale gradients that I'm interested in. The details and methodology would need a lot more thought. Edited March 29, 2021 by Darren Michael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
