The risk of erosion is slight if the expected soil loss is small; moderate if some measures are needed to control erosion during logging; and severe if intensive management or special equipment and methods are needed to prevent excessive loss of soil. Equipment Limitation. A rating of slight indicates that use of equipment is not limited to a particular kind of equipment or time of year; moderate indicates a short seasonal limitation, or a need for some modification in management of equipment; and severe indicates a seasonal limitation, a need for special equipment or management, or a hazard in the use of equipment. Seedling Mortality. The ratings are for seedlings from a good planting stock that are properly planted during a period of sufficient rainfall. A rating of slight indicates that the expected mortality of the planted seedlings is less than 25 percent; moderate - 25 to 50 percent; and severe - more than 50 percent. Windthrow Hazard. A rating of slight indicates that trees in wooded areas are not expected to be blown down by commonly occurring winds; moderate - that some trees are blown down during periods of excessive soil wetness and strong winds; and severe - that many trees are blown down during periods of excessive soil wetness and moderate or strong winds. Potential Productivity Plant Competition. A rating of slight indicates little or no competition from other plants; moderate indicates that plant competition is expected to hinder the development of the fully stocked stand of desirable trees; and severe means that plant competition is expected to prevent the establishment of a desirable stand unless the site is intensively prepared, weeded, or otherwise managed for the control of undesirable plants.

Section II-iii-C

Woodland Management and Productivity

This table presents information about management and productivity for each map unit in the surveyarea which is suitable for producing timber. Management concerns which are covered include hazard oferosion, equipment use, seedling mortality, and windthrow hazard. Ratings of SLIGHT, MODERATE, orSEVERE are used to indicate the degree of major soil limitations. Information on potential productivityincludes plant competition, common trees, site index, productivity class, and trees to plant.

Management Concerns

Erosion Hazard. The risk of erosion is slight if the expected soil loss is small; moderate if somemeasures are needed to control erosion during logging; and severe if intensive management or specialequipment and methods are needed to prevent excessive loss of soil.

Equipment Limitation. A rating of slight indicates that use of equipment is not limited to a particularkind of equipment or time of year; moderate indicates a short seasonal limitation, or a need for somemodification in management of equipment; and severe indicates a seasonal limitation, a need for specialequipment or management, or a hazard in the use of equipment.

Seedling Mortality. The ratings are for seedlings from a good planting stock that are properly plantedduring a period of sufficient rainfall. A rating of slight indicates that the expected mortality of theplanted seedlings is less than 25 percent; moderate - 25 to 50 percent; and severe - more than 50percent.

Windthrow Hazard. A rating of slight indicates that trees in wooded areas are not expected to be blowndown by commonly occurring winds; moderate - that some trees are blown down during periods ofexcessive soil wetness and strong winds; and severe - that many trees are blown down during periods ofexcessive soil wetness and moderate or strong winds.

Potential Productivity

Plant Competition. A rating of slight indicates little or no competition from other plants; moderateindicates that plant competition is expected to hinder the development of the fully stocked stand ofdesirable trees; and severe means that plant competition is expected to prevent the establishment of adesirable stand unless the site is intensively prepared, weeded, or otherwise managed for the control ofundesirable plants.

Common Trees. Trees which generally occur on the soil are listed regardless of economic importance.

Site Index and Productivity Class. These are discussed under ordination class symbol.

Trees to manage Trees that are suitable for commercial wood production and that are adapted to thesoil.

See the National Forestry Manual, Subpart B for criteria used in rating management concerns.
