Description

The Alberta Vegetation Inventory Standards Manual has been developed to support the collection of detailed vegetation information, which is necessary for Forest Management Agreement holders and the government department responsible for forestry matters to provide the best possible forest management plans, wildlife habitat classifications and integrated resource management plans. Major changes in Version 2.1 of the manual include dropping references to "productive" and "non-productive" forest land, changing the term "Site Index" to "Timber Productivity Rating", adding additional Field Check types, dropping "Photo Interpretation and Base Map Procedures and Specifications" as well as "Standards" (audit) from the manual.

Description

Detailed vegetation information is necessary for Forest Management Agreement holders and the government department responsible for forestry matters to provide the best possible forest management plans, wildlife habitat classifications and integrated resource management plans. In November 1990, the Vegetation Information Steering Committee agreed to an enhanced version of the Alberta Vegetation Inventory (AVI) specifications as the minimum standard for inventorying accessible forest lands. This new inventory standard was referred to as the Collective Vegetation Inventory (CVI). This manual provides the background, procedures and specifications associated with implementing an ongoing vegetation inventory as the first truly integrated approach to the mapping of Alberta's vegetation information.
