Topic Land Cover: USFS Veg Size in Lagunitas Creek Sub-basin 1994
 
Caption:  This chart shows vegetation coverage by size classes in the Lagunitas Creek sub-basin, derived from a 1994 Landsat image by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). Forested areas are dominated by small/medium trees with small trees and saplings. Nicasio in mainly Non Forest, while Kent Lake, San Geronimo and Upper Lagunitas have the largest forested components. The vegetation classification is accurate at a one-hectare scale and is suitable for stand classification. Vegetation is classified according to diameter at breast height (DBH): Very Large = 40-50" DBH, Large = 30-39.9" DBH, Medium/Large = 20-29.9" DBH, Small/Medium = 12-19.9" DBH, Small = 5-11.9" DBH, Saplings = 1-4.9" DBH, Non-Forest = No trees, shrubs, grass, bare soil. See Map for the USFS Landsat riparian vegetation GIS layer and Info Links for more information.
