Other data:
A good resource that @Tiny-Pickles and I found to help determine the origins of trees in our data, and other useful information! https://tools.bgci.org/global_tree_search.php
Here is another very good source that talks about the study of trees (Dendrology) and the site has a plant index we can use to search up information on each tree. https://treesandshrubsonline.org/
Here is another one. This is the global red list of tree species database
https://www.bgci.org/resources/
It requires a little bit of digging but if you download some PDF files and find a tree name and look at the references page of that tree it will give us a list of books/texts that could be looked into further for some different species.
This source might be useful it shows the tree divisions.
Here is an example: https://explorer.natureserve.org/Taxon/ELEMENT_GLOBAL.2.146415/Quercus_coccinea

This link helps with the leaf simple or compounded and the seed type!
@Tiny-Pickles @N00000DLE @GHess09 @GHess09 and I met to figure out what we can do to improve on the original interactive Leaflet map on the Behrend website. We discovered:
1) The Behrend interactive map functions pretty well, and we think we should probably continue to use the same Leaflet base map with its plugin to Open Street Maps.
2) The info available on click is pretty much exactly what we have from the spreadsheet that we converted to XML. To improve this, we should do a little more research to add something more.
3) The team should create a Relax NG schema for the btrees file, and come up with some new info categories to add, such as point of origin for each tree.
4) Then, divide up the trees among you and research them and code to your schema. That will give us something substantially new to contribute back to the Behrend campus site map.
