The species of interest to our project...

Here is the list.  I will put some links in later.  Meanwhile, if you go to the 'Links' page, you will find links to more information about these and other plants.  The difference between trees and shrubs is the maximum size they reach at maturity, but shrubs also generally have multiple stems. Aralia elata is an example of a plant that is an "emerging" concern, meaning it is not widely distributed, but it can be abundant where found.
