Strategic Wood Addition

This spatial dataset can be used to visualize the potential geomorphic suitability of stream reaches for retaining large wood or implementing the Strategic Wood Addition (SWA) or other low-tech, process-based restoration practices. Vermont's stream reaches (median 913ft length) are classified from highest (1) to lowest (7) geomorphic suitability for SWA based simply on their estimated longitudinal slope and bankfull width. This dataset is intended as a coarse screening tool for wood management potential at the reach or sub-watershed scale in first to fourth-order streams. The layer is further described by the Strategic Wood Addition (SWA) Map Layer Description document.本空间数据集可用于可视化河段留存大型木材、实施战略木材添加（Strategic Wood Addition，SWA）或其他低技术、基于过程的修复实践的潜在地貌适宜性。佛蒙特州的河段（中位长度为913英尺）仅依据估算的纵向坡度与满岸宽度，被划分为SWA地貌适宜性从最高（1）到最低（7）的七个等级。本数据集旨在作为一级至四级溪流中，河段或子流域尺度下木材管理潜力的粗筛工具。该图层的详细说明可参阅《战略木材添加（SWA）地图图层说明》文档。
