In the Northeast, the base age of 50 years is used to compare expected heights. Site index is a measure of soil quality that reports the expected height of a tree at a given age for a particular soil. Peter Smallidge developed a video on how to use WSS to find the site index of a soil. Link for URL to import WSS geo-library into GEP (as referenced in the video on integrating WSS into GEP) (be careful at this site as there are several "green" advertising buttons, here is the direct link to download ).GEP for farmers #1 ( note the tax map option is no longer available).The third video illustrates how to import WSS into GEP the fourth link provides the link for the data that GEP needs to import WSS. The first two videos illustrate how to use GEP. Steve Gabriel of Cornell’s Small Farm Program has developed several online videos that illustrate how to use several features of GEP. The integration allows for easier visualization of patterns on the ground, but details of soils require returning to the WSS website. When WSS is integrated into GEP, the soil boundaries are available, but the detailsof forest soils data for forestry operations are not available. WSS will display maps of soil boundaries and provide information about how specific soils impact forestry operations and tree growth. WSS accesses the NRCS database of soils for the entire United States. It is also possible to integrate GEP and Web Soil Survey (WSS). Stand boundaries can be drawn, and the acreage determined. GEP allows the user to draw property boundaries, locate positions of trails, log landings, buildings, and more. Woodland owners can obtain useful data from GEP. Google Earth Pro (GEP) is available free to download from this web URL Google Earth Pro is free software that allows the user to visualize specific locations any place onĮarth.
