Topic Land Cover: USFS Veg Size for Lower Alder Creek 1994
 
Caption:  This bar chart shows vegetation size classes in the Lower Alder Creek Calwater Planning Watershed. This planning watershed had 40% of vegetation in medium-large and greater trees, 44% in small-medium and smaller trees and 16% in non-forest. Early seral conditions reflect recent logging. The information was derived from a 1994 Landsat image by the U.S. Forest Service. This analysis technique calculates averages of vegetation stands at a one-hectare scale, and therefore is accurate at the stand rather than individual tree level. Click on InfoLinks for more information. See the Map tab for spatial data. 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.
