Western Oregon Timber Production Capability on BLM Lands

Western Oregon lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are classified according to their physical and biological capability to support and produce forest products. The dataset was created by SCIOPS and last updated on June 1, 1988.

Use Cases

• Classifying land suitability for timber production based on physical site capability.
• Mapping forest resource potential on BLM-managed lands based on biological capability.
• Informing sustainable forestry and land-use planning based on site classification.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific region (Western Oregon) and land manager (BLM).
• Provides a thematic classification for timber production capability.

Limitations

• Last updated 1988-06-01 23:59:59.999000; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
