Description: RS-FRIS is a remote-sensing based forest inventory for WA DNR State Trust lands. RS-FRIS predicts forest conditions using statistical models that relate field measurements to three-dimensional remotely-sensed data (PhoDAR and LiDAR point clouds). Forest metrics are predicted at a scale of 1/10th acre and stored as rasters. The attributes of each RIU are calculated as the mean of the raster cell values that fall within each polygon. Note: origin year and age are exceptions, and are based on the median value.The attributes represent forest conditions as of mid-2017. Origin year and age are periodically updated to reflect harvest activities; all other attributes continue to report mid-2017 conditions.NameDescriptionUnitsRIU_IDUnique identifier for each inventory unit.n/aLAND_COV_CDLand cover code.n/aLAND_COV_NMLand cover name.n/aAGENumber of years since the stand was initiated; a composite of known dates (where recorded in inventory data) and predicted dates (where not recorded in historical inventory data). Calculated as 2019 - ORIGIN_YEAR.yearsORIGIN_YEARYear at which a stand was re-initiated, a composite of known dates (where recorded in inventory data) and predicted dates (where not recorded in historical inventory data).
