Title
DNR Forest Inventory Open Data - Stand Covertype [Michigan]
Description
A stand is a polygon representing a relatively homogenous area of similar cover type. Stands are classified as ‘forested’ (having a canopy of tree species greater than 3 feet tall covering at least 25% of the stand area) or ‘nonforested’ (all stands not meeting the definition of forested). In forested stands, the age class of trees, species composition, basal area stocking, and age structure will be consistent. Nonforested stands are areas of similar species composition.
