FCCS Fuelbed ID Field Definitions

Throughout FCCS fuelbed XML files, number codes stand in for values (e.g., vegetation form, ladder fuels type, litter arrangement). This table has the definitions for all such fields (given in the FieldID column). Species are represented by their ITIS Taxonomic Serial Number (TSN), defined in their own table.
