The “Coral Atoll Agroforestry Plant Screener” is a simple plant sorting tool designed and built specifically for use on the coral atolls and islands of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The purpose of this tool is to improve plant resiliency and protect island ecosystems by selecting and planting non-invasive species that are better able to withstand extreme conditions brought on by changing climates. It is a revised version of the NRCS PIA Vegetative Guide (see “Data Input Existing Collection in the Data Management Plan”).
