Butternut Canker

Description

Butternut is being killed throughout its range by butternut canker, a disease that causes multiple cankers on the main stem and branches. Based on results of surveys, the disease appears to cover practically the entire range of butternut. Butternut, including regeneration, will be devastated by this disease in the years to come.

Data

Counties are identified in the Atlas by the year that the presence of butternut canker was reported in the county. Counties in the Southeast with butternut canker present were mapped starting in 1992 and continuing to the present year. Eight states in the southeast have counties with butternut canker present.

The following data items are present in the butternut canker section of the Atlas:

Year - The year the presence of butternut canker in the county was reported
FIPS - Numeric code to identify the state and county

NOTE: All other data items are used internally by the Geographic Information System software to track the data record.
