factoid - fascinating, bite-sized facts and triviaCan someone explain to the difference between "by area" and "by percentage", please?
Certainly, if "by area" is "state with the most unforested land", then it's not Delaware (a small state), it's either a Dakota or California/Texas/Alaska (just by virtue of being huge).
Alaska would beat California and Texas combined with sheer acreage.
I cannot figure out what their metric was.
Realized that as you were typing and edited my comment.
Wooo yeah NJ! Go Pine Barrens!
If Texas beats the other lower 48 in terms of total forest area, and only beats Alaska by a single percentage point in terms of percent area, then Alaska absolutely owns Texas in terms of total forest area.
The map for "States referenced by Stephen King" looks the same
My dumb ass: “how the fuck are they organizing this what the he…. Oh it’s… just the map I am stupid.”
Yeah, me too. This thing is organized really lame
I need to visit rhode island then. Didn't realize NJ was so close we share a border lol
I mean, there is only a big city between.
My conception of the Dakotas was way off.
It's mostly open plains out there. The far western sides get the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and South Dakota has the Badlands, but most of those states are long expanses of flat prairie that feel like they go on forever.
they should put the percentages inside the buckets, but raw counts underneath. I have no idea if Florida is smaller than Nebraska
Neat! Now count what's actual nature and what's merely wood plantation.
Sometimes the line between those two is pretty blurred.
Some forests are regularly harvested for wood every few decades, but grow pretty much entirely wild in the meantime.
