Standards Units represents a part of the opening for one or parts where there is similar soil disturbance, regeneration and free growing dates, stocking standards and free growing heightthat contributes to establishing free growing stand on the opening.

Standards Units cannot overlap within the same opening.

Overview of Spatial Layers-Forest CoverOverview of Spatial Layers-Forest CoverOverview of Spatial Layers-Forest CoverOverview of Spatial Layers-Forest Cover

Forest cover polygons cannot overlap each other within the same opening.Complete forest cover must be submitted for entire opening.Forest Cover polygons are separated due to differences in forest stand conditions.Forest cover polygon cannot straddle/overlap standard unit boundaries.More than one forest cover polygon can exist within the same standard unit boundary.Forest cover polygon boundaries exists for openings updated after Nov 2003.
