Sources/Notes: information in this table was derived from databases compiled and modified during the South George Vegetation Manaprocess. Suitable acres refer to a timber suitability determination (see chapter 3 and table 3-2). Cutting method codes are as follows: C

reserves; CT – commercial thinning; IC – improvement cutting; ST – seed-tree cutting with reserves. Potential vegetation groups are dfigure 3-2, and appendix A (tables A1 and A2) of the Vegetation Report in the project file. Refer to Chapter 3 and appendix A of the V

description of cover types, forest structural stages, and tree density.
