Silviculture Timber Stand Improvement Needs (Feature Layer)

The SilvTSI (Silviculture Timber Stand Improvement) feature class represents activities associated with the following performance measure: Forest Vegetation Improved (Release, Weeding, and Cleaning, Precommercial Thinning, Pruning and Fertilization). The Activities data set portrays the areas where activities are accomplished as a part of the silviculture program of work, funded through the budget allocation process and reported through the Forest Service Activity Tracking System (FACTS) database within the Natural Resource Manager (NRM) suite of applications. The activities are part of the Performance Measures used to rate Agency performance in meeting the Department's Strategic Goals. It is important to note that this layer may not contain all accomplished activities; the spatial portion of the activity description is not currently enforced by FACTS and at this time some are optionally reported by Forest Service units. As spatial data reporting is enforced by the application and acceptance of reporting increases for both tabular and spatial we hope to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of the data used for this layer in coming years. <a href='https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php?xmlKeyword=silviculture+timber+stand+improvement+needs' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Metadata and Downloads</a>.

Tongass Landslide Areas (Feature Layer)

This is a once-over landslide inventory of the Tongass National Forest. This inventory includes all mass wasting features, including talus slopes, snow avalanche fields, and snow avalanche chutes. Each of these are coded differently in the attributes. It may be necessary to exclude several polygons in this data set when using it to determine landslide rates. Most of these landslide polygons were digitized on the 1998 to 2010 orthophotos in GIS. Many of them were age bracketed using air photos back to the 1929 Navy Trimegon photos. It includes both field and photo interpreted landslides. Not all of the landslides included once-over completed in FY2017 were age bracketed. There is an associated Points feature class (Tongass_Landslide_Initiation) that represents the landslide initiation zone approximations. These points only exist for true landslides: debris avalanches, debris torrents, combination debris avalanches/torrents, slumps, rotation failures, and rock fall-initiated failures.�<a href='https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php?xmlKeyword=tongass' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Metadata</a>

NorWeST Stream Temperatures 2080s (Feature Layer)

This layer represents modeled stream temperatures derived from the 
NorWeST point feature class (NorWest_TemperaturePoints). NorWeST summer 
stream temperature scenarios were developed for all rivers and streams 
in the western U.S. from the &gt; 20,000 stream sites in the NorWeST 
database where mean August stream temperatures were recorded. The 
resulting dataset includes stream lines (NorWeST_PredictedStreams) and 
associated mid-points NorWest_TemperaturePoints) representing 1 
kilometer intervals along the stream network. Stream lines were derived 
from the 1:100,000 scale NHDPlus dataset (USEPA and USGS 2010; McKay et 
al. 2012). Shapefile extents correspond to NorWeST processing units, 
which generally relate to 6 digit (3rd code) hydrologic unit codes 
(HUCs) or in some instances closely correspond to state borders. The 
line and point shapefiles contain identical modeled stream temperature 
results. The two feature classes are meant to complement one another for
 use in different applications. In addition, spatial and temporal 
covariates used to generate the modeled temperatures are included in the
 attribute tables at 
https://www.fs.usda.gov/rm/boise/AWAE/projects/NorWeST/ModeledStreamTemperatureScenarioMaps.shtml.
 The NorWeST NHDPlusV1 processing units include: Salmon, Clearwater, 
Spokoot, Missouri Headwaters, Snake-Bear, MidSnake, MidColumbia, Oregon 
Coast, South-Central Oregon, Upper Columbia-Yakima, Washington Coast, 
Upper Yellowstone-Bighorn, Upper Missouri-Marias, and Upper Green-North 
Platte. The NorWeST NHDPlusV2 processing units include: Lahontan Basin,

Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program: Polygon (Feature Layer)

The Forest Service's Natural Resource Manager (NRM) Forest Activity Tracking System (FACTS) is the agency standard for managing information aboutactivities related to fire/fuels, silviculture, and invasive species. FACTS is an activity tracking application for all levels of the Forest Service. The application allows tracking and monitoring of NEPA decisions as well as the ability to create and manage KV trust fund plans at the timber sale level. This application complements its companion NRM applications, which cover the spectrum of living and non-living natural resource information. This layer represents Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) Program project activities. Also included are other High Priority Restoration projects that are funded outside of CFLR. It is important to note that this layer does not contain all of the approved project activities. Instead, these are the accomplishments that project groups uploaded to the Forest Service corporate data holdings in FACTS. As spatial data is a new requirement for the program, improvements to the quality and comprehensiveness of this data is expected in coming years. <a href='https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/edw_resources/meta/S_USA.Activity_CFLRP_PL.xml' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Metadata</a>

Timber Appraisal Zones (Feature Layer)

This dataset is a spatial display of US Forest Service stumpage market appraisal zones. A zone may encompass a Region, a National Forest, a group of Ranger Districts, or combinations thereof. Each unique market appraisal zone defines a localized stumpage market. In each market area, stumpage values reflect the market value of standing trees (on the stump) prior to felling, removal, and utilization in a value-added manufacturing activity. The zone boundary is typically determined by factors including, but not limited to, manufacturing facilities, hauling distances, species yield compositions, timber quality, market area competition, and logging methods. <a href='https://apps.fs.usda.gov/arcx/rest/services/EDW/EDW_TimberAppraisalZones_01/MapServer/1/metadata' style='font-size:12pt;' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Timber Appraisal Zone Metadata</a>
