Each record in the table contains attributes for the corresponding GIS polygon. Stands are defined as any natural or artificially created vegetation which exhibits enough homogeneity to make it distinguishable from surrounding areas.
Stands are both forested and non-forested.
The data was developed for forest planning and project analysis. The data set is available free of charge in Oracle export format on a requester provided writeable CD-ROM or 8mm tape. Any processing or conversion to another format would require a charge for that service. The Forest Service uses the most current and complete data available. Using any data for purposes other than those for which they were created, may yield inaccurate or misleading results.
