States, these would be the hardwoods such as oak, maple, <br />• or hickory and the "soft" hardwoods, such as aspen. <br />Deciduous forest types characteristic of Wetland, such as <br />tupelo or cottonwood, also are not included in this <br />category. <br />G Evergreen Forest Land <br />Evergreen Forest Land includes all forested areas <br />in which the trees are predominantly those which remain <br />green throughout the year. Both coniferous and broad- <br />leaved evergreens are included in this category. In most <br />areas, the coniferous evergreens predominate. The coniferous <br />evergreens are commonly referred to or classified as <br />softwoods. They include such western species as Douglas- <br />fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), <br />ponderosa pine (Pinus monticola), Sitka spruce (Picea <br />sitchensis), Englemann spruce (Picea engelmanni), western <br />redcedar (Thuja plicata), and western hemlock (Tsuga hetro- <br />phylla). <br />H Mixed Forest Land <br />Mixed Forest Land includes all forested areas where <br />both evergreen and deciduous trees are growing and neither <br />predominates. When more than one-third intermixture of <br />either evergreen or deciduous species occurs in a specific <br />area, it is classified as Mixed Forest Land. Where the <br />• intermixed land use or uses total less than one-third of <br />the specified area, the category appropriate to the dominant <br />type of Forest Land is applied whether beciduous or Evergreen. <br />I Strip Mines, Quarries, and Gravel Pits <br />Those extractive mining activities that have significant <br />surface expression are included in this category. Vegetative <br />cover and overburden are removed to expose such deposits as <br />coal, iron ore, limestone, and copper. Current mining activity <br />is not always distinguishable, and inactive, unreclaimed, <br />and active strip mines are included in this category until <br />other cover or use has been established. <br />r ~ <br />U <br /> <br />~ osh8~81 <br />i3.4 <br />
