Description: The Land Management Planning Unit (LMPU) feature class displays the plan revision status for FS land management planning units, their boundaries, FS Region, planning phase milestone and associated date, and link to a related planning website. A land management plan provides a framework for integrated resource management and for guiding project and activity decision-making on a nationalforest, grassland, prairie, or other administrative unit. New plan development is required for new NFS units; an existing plan may be amended at any time.
Description: Forest Service national insect and disease risk map total basal area, defined as the total cross-sectional area of all stems in a stand measured at breast height, and expressed as per unit of land area (typically square feet per acre).

Description: Greatest number of consecutive summer (May-Sept) dry days (<1/10 inch of rain) was calculated for each year over the historical (1985-2004) and future (RCP 8.5 2071-2090) time periods; absolute and percent change between these was then calculated. This includes three versions: one based on the 20-year average of summer maxima, one based on the overall maximum, and one based on the 90th percentile value of 20-year maxima.
Name: Stream Temperatures in the Western US: 2080s
Display Field: GNIS_NAME
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolyline
Description: This layer represents modeled stream temperatures derived from the NorWeST point feature class (NorWest_TemperaturePoints). NorWeST summer stream temperature scenarios were developed for all rivers and streams in the western U.S. from the > 20,000 stream sites in the NorWeST database where mean August stream temperatures were recorded. The resulting dataset includes stream lines (NorWeST_PredictedStreams) and associated mid-points NorWest_TemperaturePoints) representing 1 kilometer intervals along the stream network. Stream lines were derived from the 1:100,000 scale NHDPlus dataset (USEPA and USGS 2010; McKay et al. 2012). Shapefile extents correspond to NorWeST processing units, which generally relate to 6 digit (3rd code) hydrologic unit codes (HUCs) or in some instances closely correspond to state borders. The line and point shapefiles contain identical modeled stream temperature results. The two feature classes are meant to complement one another for use in different applications. In addition, spatial and temporal covariates used to generate the modeled temperatures are included in the attribute tables at https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/boise/AWAE/projects/NorWeST/ModeledStreamTemperatureScenarioMaps.shtml. The NorWeST NHDPlusV1 processing units include: Salmon, Clearwater, Spokoot, Missouri Headwaters, Snake-Bear, MidSnake, MidColumbia, Oregon Coast, South-Central Oregon, Upper Columbia-Yakima, Washington Coast, Upper Yellowstone-Bighorn, Upper Missouri-Marias, and Upper Green-North Platte. The NorWeST NHDPlusV2 processing units include: Lahontan Basin, Northern California-Coastal Klamath, Utah, Coastal California, Central California, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Black Hills.

Name: TCA: Insect and Pathogen Incidence 2014 to 2018
Display Field: Value
Type: Raster Layer
Geometry Type: null
Description: Data are derived from 2014-2018 (0-5 years) aerial detection surveys for tree defoliation and mortality from the USFS Forest Health Assessment & Applied Sciences Team (FHAAST) National Forest Pest Conditions Database. Polygons are created by aerial sketch mapping, and coded for defoliation and mortality, in addition to other damage codes. Defoliation and mortality layers were created from the polygon data and the attribute codes. The layers were merged to compensate for difficulties in identifying defoliation separately from mortality in hardwoods vs. conifer forests. Areas that were defoliated during three of the years recorded in the five-year dataset are thought to have significant impacts and likely mortality, so these polygons were added to the mortality layer. The layer includes areas with mortality classed as “very light”.
Description: A national roads vector dataset has been acquired from the USFS INFRA database ‘II_Road_Core_ATM’ table and vector features via the EDW and on 03/07/2019. INFRA is the official corporate transportation dataset for the USFS. Not all roads in the ‘II_Road_Core_ATM’ INFRA table have an associated vector feature and therefore are not used in the TCA analysis. The data were reattributed using the logic found in the table below to represent four new classes: (1) Unimproved, (2) Paved, (3) Light Duty, (4) Other, and Decommissioned roads.

Description: This indicator uses LANDFIRE’s Vegetation Departure (VDEP) vegetation departure raster (US_140VDEP_20180620). The layer was developed using a similarity index to compare modeled reference conditions (vegetation types and succession classes) to the current abundance of seral stages within vegetation types.
