Abstract:

This paper describes the application of the OakMapper web Geographical Information System as a comprehensive database and cartographic portal containing all data on the Sudden Oak Death for public viewing. Sudden Oak Death is a coined term for a disease complex which rapidly reached epidemic levels in several coastal forests in California, USA and is caused by a recently discovered virulent pathogen, Phytophthora ramorum. This internet-based technique is essential in developing and applying strategies to alleviate the impacts of this disease.
