        <idAbs>This feature service is based on ESRI's 1:3 USA Counties layer that has been subset to the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station (NRS), Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) region (24 states). Features and attributes of ESRI's layer have been adapted to match attributes within the FIA database (FIADB) and features have been generalized by removing vertices to enhance performance. This layer has been attributed with outputs from FIA's EVALIDator tool (&lt;a href='https://apps.fs.usda.gov/fiadb-api/evalidator' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'&gt;https://apps.fs.usda.gov/fiadb-api/evalidator&lt;/a&gt;) for the following estimates: &lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Area of forest land, in thousands of acres&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Area of timber land, in thousands of acres&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Net volume of live trees (at least 5 inches d.b.h./d.r.c.), in cubic feet, on forest land&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Average annual net growth of live trees (at least 5 inches d.b.h./d.r.c.), in cubic feet, on forest land&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Average annual removals of live trees (at least 5 inches d.b.h./d.r.c.), in cubic feet, on forest land&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Average annual mortality of trees (at least 5 inches d.b.h./d.r.c.), in trees, on forest land&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Aboveground dry weight of live trees (at least 1 inch d.b.h./d.r.c), in short tons, on forest land&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ratios have also been calculated for area of forest land to total land area and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;area of timber land to total land area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Additional data descriptions are available in the most recent FIADB User Manual, &lt;a href='https://www.fia.fs.usda.gov/library/database-documentation/index.php' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'&gt;available here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;</idAbs>
