Availability Class, Timber Management Regulation Level, and Land Suitability class are items required for National Forest Planning analysis.
SNFP Prescription code describes vegetation management treatments as allowed under the Standards and Guidelines of the Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment EIS.
The following is a listing of valid codes for items in this coverage, as taken from the FRDB Data Dictionary.
TABLE 11 - AVAILABILITY CLASS Withdrawn areas (code 2) include existing wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, other special congressional designated areas, and administrative designated monuments. Areas recommended in the preferred alternative of the final plan for withdrawal, which are not currently withdrawn should be coded as 3, withdrawn area - pending. These are limited to proposed wilderness, wild and scenic rivers. All other land allocations, under an existing Land Management Plan, are coded as available area - not withdrawn.
Size = 1; type = numeric
CODE DESCRIPTION 1 Available area - not withdrawn 2 Withdrawn area - current reserved 3 Withdrawn area - pending
TABLE 23 - TIMBER MANAGEMENT REGULATION LEVEL
Size = 1; type = alphanumeric
CODE CONSTRAINT P Private N Non-forest U Unsuitable forest land, no scheduled timber yields 1 Suitable forest land, regulated full timber yields 2 Suitable forest land, regulated modified timber yields 3 Suitable forest land, regulated limited timber yields
TABLE 29 - LRMP LAND SUITABILITY CLASS This information is for tracking the timberland allocations in the Forest Plan. The most constraining resource is coded for each acre on the National Forest.
The specific code should be used before the general code.
Size = 3; type = numeric
