This is a visualization of ECOSTRESS’ Evaporative Stress Index in Marin County, CA. The data is an average of summer months from 2018 – 2022. Scores closer to 0, or red/orange areas, indicate plants are in stress, meaning they are not meeting their potential evapotranspiration, while scores closer to 1, or blue areas, indicate plants are thriving and closer to reaching potential evapotranspiration.
