Symposium 11 - From upstart to icon: Geographic Information Systems in plant population ecology: historical perspective and innovative approaches in presentation, analysis, and dissemination of data
Cotton Row, Mezzanine Level, Cook Convention Center
Organized by: SA Scobell (summer_scobell@hotmail.com) and CA Johnston
