| Originator | Hubbard County, Minnesota |
| Abstract | This ARC/INFO polygon coverage contains the base forest inventory data for Hubbard County. Polygons are identified by forest covertype, timber size class, and timber density class. Polygon data were originally photo-interpreted from 1:15,840 color IR aerial photography. |
| Browse Graphic | none available |
| Time Period of Content Date | 1997 |
| Currentness Reference | Photo-interpretation was originally from 1987 color IR aerial photography. Forest reinventory and updates are done on a cyclical basis for selected townships from most current color IR photography. Dates of photography vary. The latest reinventory date for each stand is stored in forest.pat under the item 'Year'. |

| Lineage | Data Sources: 1:15,840 Color IR Aerial Photography (1987) 1:24,000 USGS 7.5-Minute Quadrangles Processing Steps: The data were originally photo-interpreted from 1987, 1:15,840 color IR aerial photography. Section lines were digitized from USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle maps. Land boundaries were also transferred from the photos where needed. Where coincident lines existed (lakes, roads, section lines), lines digitized from the USGS quadrangle were used. |

| Entity and Attribute Overview | Data are referenced to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources CSA Tatum Guide. Attributes for this coverage are listed below: OWNER: Broad ownership category SECTION: Standard PLS section TYPE: Unique stand sequence number within each owner and PLS section TOWNSHIP: PLS Township RANGE: PLS Range E_W: Differentiates between east and west ranges of the 4th Principle Meridian COUNTY: Unique county codes RAD: MN DNR Division of Forestry Area code FOREST: State Forest code OTHER: Code for any management unit other than state forest COMP: Compartment number ACQUI: Acquisition status of the land parcel ADMIN: Administrator for the land parcel CTYPE: Forest cover type classification code CSIZE: Size class based on dbh of trees CDENSE: Density class UTYPE: Understory cover type USIZE: Same as csize UDENSE: Same as cdense ACRES: Acreage of the stand YEAR: The last 2 digits of the year in which the survey was done TOPO: Topographic characteristics of the site SI: Site index obtained using tree age and height PHYS: Physiographic class (soil moisture) AGE: Average stand age in years AT THE TIME OF SURVEY BA: Basal area per acre CORDS: The volume/acre in cords for all trees 5-15 inches dbh MBF: Thousands of board feet/acre for trees 15+ inches dbh COND: Condition class TBR: Timber status, defines any restrictions on harvesting SPP: Specie code of the main specie in the stand DBH: Diameter at breast height of main specie HEIGHT: Height (feet) of main specie VOLUME: Volume per acre DAMAGE: Damage code AFFECT: Percentage affected by damage MORTAL: Percentage of mortality in stand SHRUBS: Shrub specie code DISTR: Distribution pattern of shrub DENSE: Density of shrubs BROWSE: Amount of shrub available to deer COVER: Ground cover code RECON: Reconnaissance level ORIGIN: Stand origin ROAD: Distance to road in miles SIGN: Significant feature(s) present in the stand CARDS: Obsolete, used mainly as a flag for various unique applications The remaining fields in this table are mostly repeating items of information collected for up to 8 co-dominant or sub-dominant tree species that make up the stand composition. This includes more information on species make-up of the stand understory. The first set of these attributes are listed below (field names beginning with the string 'S2'). Subsequent sets (field names beginning with S3-S5) contain the same attributes and are not described here. The 2nd specie through 5th specie are of commercial size class, 5 inches dbh or greater. S2SPP: Same specie codes as for SPP above S2DBH: Diameter at breast height in inches S2DST: Distribution of specie in the stand S2VOL: Volume per acre S2DAM: Damage codes S2HAR: Harvest recommendation MISC_CORD MISC_BF The next set of attributes are listed below (field names beginning with the string 'S6'). Subsequent sets (field names beginning with S7-S9) contain the same attributes and are not described here. The 6th specie through 9th specie are less than 5 inches dbh. S6SPP: Same as all other specie codes S6SIZ: 1 = 0-0.9 inch; 2 = 1-2.9 inches; 3 = 3-4.9 inches S6DEN: Same as understory density class S6DST: Same as other distribution codes S6DAM: Same as other damage codes REMS: Remarks, comments CURAGE VER_DATE FOREST_ID TSMID |
