CanopyDB Ecology Informatics Tools

These applications were developed, with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation, over more than a decade at The Evergreen State College (TESC) to address the needs of forest canopy researchers. The tools include: Databank Database Generator: Graphical tool to generate ecological databases from standard and custom database templates. Generated database includes data entry forms, data dictionary, and Ecological Metadata Language (EML) documents. CanopyView: An interactive visualization tool designed to view tree structure, canopy coverage, and other data stored in Databank-generated databases. This publication also includes images that were stored in a web content management system operated as part of the project website. (Image annotations from that system have not been recovered).
