1978 Forest Resource Inventory, Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry, Kemptville District

This data layer contains individual forest stand level information for the Kemptville District, including:

working group (meaning a grouping of stands with the same predominant species composition. These are generally labelled based on the tree species that occupies the greatest canopy closure or amount of basal area in the stand)
species ID and percentage
height
age
stocking (meaning a qualitative measurement of the density of tree cover in a forest stand. This is generally based on the species with the most basal area, expressed as a percentage value ranging from zero to a maximum of 4. A stocking of 0 is empty, 1 is fully stocked, more than 1 is overstocked)
crown closure
soil moisture
stand modifier (meaning the subdivision of productive forest areas based on the presence or absence of physical or biological factors that will limit the ability to practice timber management)
site index
stand area (m²)

This data was digitized in 1998 from 1978 hardcopy mylars through the Ice Storm Recovery Funding Program.
