Old growth and regrowth in Redwoods National Park

Caption

An aerial map (1st panel) of California’s Redwoods National and State Parks, which contain some of the last old-growth redwoods in the world, visible as a dark green line bordering the right-hand side of Redwood Creek. Deepbiosphere correctly predicted the presence of redwoods (2nd panel) at 50-meter resolution in the parks, distinguishing mature from young regrowth groves (3rd panel), and predicted two understory plants, redwood sorrel (O. oregana, red) and California blackberry (R. ursinius, blue) that grow under different-aged redwood forests (4th panel).
