WLIS is a database of summary data of plots established for whitebark and limber pines in the United States and Canada. Data has been assembled from researchers, surveyors, and literature sources and compiled in a standard format. In addition, data from FIA plots with whitebark or limber pine are included. Data can be viewed for any of the plots in the system. The data can also be queried to refine the dataset to meet the user’s needs. Plot locations can be spatially depicted through an interactive mapping system. The interactive database provides a user-friendly interface for the addition of new plots or updating data for plots already in the system. A User’s Guide is included as part of the download and should be referenced for details on using the system.
