Overview
The data used in this analysis is scale data. This means
that the date of record is when the volumes were scaled. This is typically
earlier than the time the volume is billed and, therefore, closer to the actual
time of harvest.
The volumes used are both harvested and scaled in the
Northern Interior and Southern Interior Forest Regions. This means that those
volumes harvested in the interior and scaled in the Coastal Forest Region and
vice versa are excluded. The volumes flowing between the interior and coast
will be more significant for the forest districts which boarder the coast and
interior. The volumes are not significant on an interior-wide basis.
Data File
The “raw” data file available for download from this site
covers January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007. The data file also includes
information at the grade level, which is not summarized in any of the tables or
figures available on the site.
The data file includes a tab with keys for certain Harvest
Billing System (HBS) and Forest Tenure Administration (FTA) codes. E.g. species
and grade keys are found in this tab. These keys will be important to those
choosing to work with the data. |
