Description
Collection of locations of Ailanthus altissima in the mid-Atlantic region, with DNA samples and photographs. Notice that there are several records that are observations because DNA sampling was unsuccessful.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 688 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
