RGE is Range and Livestock REC is Recreation and Wilderness TIM is Timber WSH/AIR is Watershed and Air WLF/FIS is Wildlife and Fisheries GEO is Minerals and Geology LND is Lands FIR is Fire 1 Data Element (Variable) Type. For ease of reference, data elements or variables are groups by classes as follows: 2 Function Identification. The following codes are used to identify specific resource functions: 3 "Y" indicates the data element may be needed to generate the specified information.
