Provide integrated resource information needed to manage the Forest Landscape. The inventory provides mpas and describes the kind, pattern, and proportionate extent of ecological types that occur in the map units. The map units and ecological types are conceptualized by synthesis of landscape features and processes, and study of relationships of the soil, landform, lithology, plant communities, and climate to each other. The inventory collects information on the properties of individual resources and uses that information to characterize each resource and support interpretations for management activities.
