Geodatabase for Alabama Landscape Management Plan
To support identification of the existing conditions present on any site for which the LMP may be used, a GIS-based catalog was developed. This geodatabase represents the accumulation and organization of the most site-specific geospatial characterization tools that are publicly available within the LMP. The strategic goal of this geodatabase is to provide forest resource professionals with a geospatial tool that presents tabular data helpful in developing forest management goals and recommendations using the best available science.
Historical Structures:
