Six site classification field guides covering nine site regions were published in March, 1989. They completed the design phase of a province-wide site classification program begun in 1981. The site classification system is designed as an on-site, preharvest assessment tool for use in mature and overmature natural stands. It incorporates easily recognizable vegetation and soil characteristics to classify each stand into a Vegetation Type (VT), a Soil Type (ST), and a Treatment Unit (TU). Forest management and silvicultural interpretations are given for each TU, with the primary interpretation being site productivity.
