Manitoba Forest Inventory — 1970s/Manitoba Forest Inventory — 1970s

This dataset represents Manitoba's digital forest inventory for the 1970s. Please note that because of data capture techniques used for this inventory, its base features (e.g., water, roads) may not align with other datasets (e.g., Google Maps, Esri Basemaps). │ This dataset represents Manitoba's digital forest inventory for the 1970s. Please note that due to the data entry techniques used for this inventory, basic characteristics (e.g., water, roads) may not match other data sets (e.g., Google Maps, Esri Basemaps).

This dataset represents Manitoba's digital forest inventory for the 1970s. It was created from forest inventories captured by photo-interpretation during different time periods in the 1970s. It consists of original inventory polygons without any subsequent modifications, such as disturbances or silvicultural activities. Please note that, because of data capture techniques used for this inventory, its base features (e.g., water, roads) may not align with other datasets (e.g., Google Maps, Esri Basemaps) .This dataset covers a large portion of the middle of Manitoba, and is almost exclusively within the Boreal Plains and Boreal Shield ecozones. Forest inventories created in the 1970s used the Forest Resource Inventory (FRI) standards to capture details about the land base relevant to forestry, along with non-forest base features. Data collected in the FRI standard included, among other things, tree species composition, tree species composition, site class (site growing conditions), cutting class (stand maturity, and a proxy for age), crown closure and productivity. This dataset also includes estimated age and year of photography attributes.This feature class is also available for download from DataMB. Metadata: Manitoba Forest Inventory —1970s | This dataset represents Manitoba's digital forest inventory for the 1970s. It was created from forest inventories captured by photo-interpretation at various periods in the 1970s. These are the original inventory polygons, without any subsequent changes, such as disturbances or silvicultural activities. Please note that due to the data entry techniques used for this inventory, the basic characteristics (e.g., water, roads) may not match other data sets (e.g., Google Maps, Esri Basemaps) .This dataset covers a large portion of central Manitoba and is located almost exclusively in the Boreal Plains and Boreal Shield ecozones. Forest inventories created in the 1970s used Forest Resources Inventory (IRF) standards to capture land base details relevant to forestry, as well as characteristics of the non-forest land base. Data collected under the IRF standard included, among other things, tree species composition, site class (site growth conditions), stand operational class (stand maturity and age approximation), canopy closure, and productivity, among others. This data set also includes attributes such as the estimated age and year of the photo.This feature class can also be downloaded from MB Data.Metadata: Manitoba Forest Inventory — 1970s
