Table 38 - CALVEG Type

Fields in this table refer to the CALVEG classification system map classes. Vegtype (Regional Dominance Type) is a two-letter code designating primary (dominant) and secondary (understory hardwood in MIX covertypes only) vegetation alliances. Vegtype codes apply to both the VEGTYPE and VEGTYPE2 themes in the CALVEG map products. Description is a short phrase that lists either the common vegetation name of the dominant vegetation alliance or the land-use category. Covertype is a three-letter code equivalent to cover types described in Table 37. Prod assigns a commercial productivity code to each mapped vegetation type. Timberland productivity for these codes is further described in Table 43.
