LANDSCAPE MAPPING

The three map themes provided below may be helpful tools during the planning
phase of any tree planting project. Selecting the right tree for the right space
means that consideration has gone into determining which species ‘fits’ the
goals of the project and has the greatest ability to establish and thrive. The
map layers provided here will help users plan projects that 1) align with or
expand adjacent native forest types, 2) ensure trees selected match their
appropriate soil type and condition, or 3) expand the potential for soil carbon
retention.

 * Plant Community Type
 * Soil Type
 * Soil Organic Carbon

This map helps users visualize the type and extent of forest communities across
our region and is based on data collected by Cleveland Metroparks’ Plant
Community Assessment Program (PCAP).

This long-term vegetation monitoring program provides information about forest
species composition and distribution. The forest types shown on the map were
adapted from existing U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) maps. So,
while the boundaries of the different types generally match USNVC maps, the
names of the forest types were modified by Cleveland Metroparks to align with
the results of our internal plant community classification work and include six
primary forest communities.

 * Beech/Sugar Maple-Mixed Hardwood
 * Oak-Mixed Hardwood
 * Alluvial
 * Wet Red Maple-Mixed Hardwood
 * Ruderal
 * Urban Tree Cover

Click on a color to see the name of each forest type.

This map allows users to identify the type of soil within or near a project
site.

Each soil map unit (i.e., polygon) represents the spatial extent of a single
soil type. Within each unit there is a 2-3 letter code that abbreviates the full
name of that soil type.

Click anywhere within a soil unit to see the full name of the soil type.

Note: if a project is located in a highly urban environment, there may not be
sufficient data about the soil type, or it may exist on urban fill. In those
areas, consideration may be needed to supplement the planting with organic
material or other soil amendments to support healthy root development.

The map displays data collected by the National Cooperative Soil Survey.
Additional information about soil types and their properties can be found at the

This map illustrates the amount of carbon found in organic matter within soils.

Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) represents one of the largest carbon stocks in most
terrestrial ecosystems and may have a strong influence on plant and tree growth.
SOC is influenced by soil type and both shapes and is shaped by vegetation,
insect, and microbial communities. Within northeast Ohio, values primarily fall
between 45 tons of carbon/hectare (gold) and 85 tons of carbon/hectare (dark
green). The gradient legend was modified to represent conditions in northeast
Ohio where "Low" is in the 45-51 tons/hectare range while "High" reads in the
73-85 tons/hectare range.

Note: urban areas were not mappable for soil organic carbon and display as blank
pixels.

This map shows data generated by SoilGrids and provides the average soil organic
carbon stocks (measured in tons/hectare – between 0-30 cm below ground).
