         USFS Riparian Tree Size Classes: Flat Ridge Creek CalWater 1994 | 
     
 
 
    | 
   Caption:  This bar chart shows vegetation and timber types of the riparian zone of the Flat Ridge Creek Calwater planning watershed. The U.S. Forest Service derived the information from a 1994 Landsat image. This analysis technique calculates averages of vegetation stands at a one-hectare scale. With 68% of the riparian zone in trees less than 12 inch diameter, there is ample opportunity for stream warming, although this condition may be due to geologic terrain and natural grasslands in some areas. Scroll down for a key to classifications. Vegetation classifications are:
Very Large Trees = >40" in diameter                                      Large Trees = Trees 30-39.9" in diameter
Medium/Large Trees = 20-29.9" in diameter                       Small/Medium Trees = 12-19.9" in diameter
Small Trees = 5-11.9" in diameter                                            Saplings = Trees less than 5"
Non-Forest = No trees, shrubs, grass, bare soil
