ABSTRACT
Spatial features stewarded within the FSVeg Spatial application are organized in a hierarchy. Vegetation polygons and sample points represent the base level spatial features. Sample points fall within their parent vegetation polygon. Vegetation polygons are organized into locations. Locations fall within a ranger district and ranger districts fall within a proclaimed forest. There may be one or more proclaimed forests within the administrative forest. Finally, a region oversees the administrative forests within their geographic area. Location polygons are derived by dissolving the vegetation polygons within the NRIS_VegPoly feature class where the location identifiers are the same. A location thus represents an organized collection of vegetation polygons. National Forests will either define locations based on watershed boundaries or for management convenience based on roads or other natural features. Locations based on roads and/or other features are typically referred to as compartments.
