U.S. Forest Service 20250131 073531 vector digital data http://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php The SilvTSI (Silviculture Timber Stand Improvement) feature class represents activities associated with the following performance measure: Forest Vegetation Improved (Release, Weeding, and Cleaning, Precommercial Thinning, Pruning and Fertilization). The Activities data set portrays the areas where activities are accomplished as a part of the silviculture program of work, funded through the budget allocation process and reported through the Forest Service Activity Tracking System (FACTS) database within the Natural Resource Manager (NRM) suite of applications. The activities are part of the Performance Measures used to rate Agency performance in meeting the Department's Strategic Goals. It is important to note that this layer may not contain all accomplished activities; the spatial portion of the activity description is not currently enforced by FACTS and at this time some are optionally reported by Forest Service units. As spatial data reporting is enforced by the application and acceptance of reporting increases for both tabular and spatial we hope to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of the data used for this layer in coming years. Provides areas to compare activities associated with the program of work for Silviculture - Timber Stand Improvement (TSI). 20160822 publication date In work Weekly -149.668738 -70.797486 60.922227 28.981877 None U.S. Forest Service Silviculture Ecosystem Restoration Timber Stand Improvement Vegetation Management ISO 19115 Topic Categories environment None The USDA Forest Service makes no warranty, expressed or implied, including the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, nor assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, reliability, completeness or utility of these geospatial data, or for the improper or incorrect use of these geospatial data.

Data is accurate up to the publication date and attribute domains are valid values from Natural Resource Manager (NRM) Forest Activity Tracking System (FACTS). Generally the source information used to record spatial locations are from: 1) on-screen digitizing with a georeferenced topographic or image background; or 2) GPS field collected positions. Forest Service Activity Tracking (FACTS) spatial features in ActivityPolygon_Subunit and tabular data from ACTIVITY_FACTS_ATTRIBUTES are merged based on like spatial identification codes (SUID) in each set of data. A spatial feature will be created for every activity record in the Activity_Facts_Attribute tabular table. Only changed or new data in the sources are processed. Any features that have been deleted from the source are also deleted in the Activity_SilvTSI feature class. Spatial features from the merged output are loaded into the feature class and GIS acres are calculated for each feature on a nightly basis. 20160101 Vector GT-polygon composed of chains 76389 S_USA.Actv_SilvTSI_Needs A collection of geographic features with the same geometry type (such as point, line, or polygon), the same attributes, and the same spatial reference. http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/GISDictionary/term/feature%20class OBJECTID Internal feature number.

U.S. Forest Service Ranger District Codes. HOME_ORG The Home Organization is the unit in which the activity is located. It is defined by a two digit Region Code, followed by a two digit Administrative Forest Code and a two digit District Code. U.S. Forest Service A textual field containing a code created by combining a two digit Region Code, a Two Digit Administrative Forest code and a Two Digit District Code. Codes can be found on http://www.fs.fed.us/organization/506. SUID Subunit ID. Concatenation of the Region, Forest, District, FACTS ID, and Subunit codes. The SUID identifies down to the subunit where an activity will occur within an Activity Unit. Activity Subunits can have multiple activities on them and overlap with other Subunits within the Activity Unit. SUID is alpha/numeric. SUID is the link between spatial and tabular data records. NRM FACTS (a USFS application that collects, stores and reports data for various Forest Service business areas.) The activity subunit that corresponds to the land encompassing the whole of the activity unit must have a subunit ID of '000'. When activities are performed on only a portion of an activity unit, a new subunit can be created to represent that portion. These subunits may be numbered in sequential order or you may wish to use letters that more easily identify the subunit. The subunit is identified in total by a concatenation of the AU (Activity Unit) Region, AU Proclaimed or Administrative Forest, AU District, FACTS ID, and Subunit fields. An example of a SUID is 0111021A51466541016. This first six numbers of this 19-digit code include the region/forest/district code (011102), followed by the ten-digit FACTS ID (1A51466541), and concluded with the three digit subunit (016). FACTS_ID Identifier for an activity unit (geographical area) on which activities occur. Must be 10 alpha numeric characters with no spaces. NRM FACTS Identifier for an activity unit (geographical area) on which activities occur. Must be 10 alpha numeric characters with no spaces. SUBUNIT An activity subunit is a portion of an activity unit. The activity subunit that corresponds to the land encompassing the whole of the activity unit must have a subunit ID of '000'. When activities are performed on only a portion of an activity unit, a new subunit can be created to represent that portion. These subunits may be numbered in sequential order or use letters that more easily identify the subunit. NRM FACTS An activity subunit is a portion of an activity unit.
