This layer shows tree points from the forests management zones as derived from the 2018 LiDAR data using the U. S. Forest Service's FUSION tools. Height classes range from 0 - 9 feet, 10 - 18 feet, 19 - 27 feet, 28 - 54 feet, 55 - 105 feet, 106 - 150 feet, and 151+ feet.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "This layer depicts the trees for the different forest management zones as derived from the acquired 2018 LiDAR data.", "title": "Headworks.SDE.FMZ2018Trees", "tags": [ "Tree Height", "FMZ", "Forest Management Zone", "Canopy Height", "Tree Height Classification" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 150000000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "Tacoma Water", "licenseInfo": "

LiDAR analysis of tree points, and therefore trees per acre, can only depict trees that are detectable by LiDAR. Understory and suppressed trees are not always detected by LiDAR scans and can therefore give an inaccurate count of the overall trees. Therefore it is best to presume the the tree per acre estimates more accurately accounts for the number of dominant and codominant trees per acre along with a partial account of the understory trees.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV>" }
