Spatial Data: DNR Open DataData Category: Open data pertaining to Michigan DNR land including ownership, recreation areas, compartment boundaries. I will focus on the Forestry Data sets, and particuarly the Forest Health Points dataset Data Description: This data set highlights forest areas that are impacted by forest pests and pathogens across Michigan state forests. Data Link to All Data Sets: http://gis.midnr.opendata.arcgis.com/ Data Link to Forest Health Data Set:http://gis.midnr.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/baa14b73ba2f4d39b575713db8b42bb9_8 Here is the logo!

I recommend downloading the shapefiles to your hard drive and then load them into R.
Spatial Data: Global Species Occurrences from GBIFData Category: Species Occurrences Data Description: GBIF is the Global Biodiversity Information Facility which provides free and open access to biodiversity data. Spatial and temporal scale of occurrences varies, depending on the species of interest. Data Link: http://www.gbif.org/ Data Use Policy: http://www.gbif.org/using-data/summary Use with R: GBIF data on species occurrences can be downloaded directly for certain species by using the R package “dismo”, as shown below for Indri indri (the largest living lemur). For use with software other than R, work through add different filters to download occurrence data here: http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search
