| S | Single 'overstorey' layer (primary tree layer) |
| M | Multi (two) 'overstorey' layers |
| V | Veteran layer (must be used in conjunction with sinfle or multi 'overstorey' layers; always has a crown closure of '0'. representing 0-5%) |
| C | Complex stand (stands which display a range of heights rather than several distinct height classes; no understoreys allowed; for black spruce and larch stands only. |
| U | Understorey (less than 10 metres; optional on single and multi storey stands but not used with complex stands; both softwood and hardwood are identified only if seen on lead-on photography |
1 to 4 based on order of precedence. Note: Overstorey layers (S, M, or C) are ranked first (in the casee of M, the taller layer is fiven first ranking); then the Understorey layer (U) and finally, the Veteran layer (V) (lowest priority of the treed layers). If one of the layers (default or M) is non-treed (e.g., shrub), then that layer is given lowest priority. Also, canopy rank is not identified for wetlands or non-vegetated polygons.
In complex stands only (CANLAY = C); the numbers of metres from the midpoint that describes the height of the complex stand. (e.g., 12 m +/- 5m, COMHT would equal 5.

This represents version 3 of the Forest Land Inventory (FLI) for the Nelson River Forest Section (2011 & 2013) of Manitoba with enhanced attributes such as STRATA, SPP_SUM, etc. calculated. Version 3 includes additional updates to some records for the STRATA, DENAGG (density class aggregate) and SIC (site index class) fields.
The FLI is ecologically-based and is designed to accurately represent the location and characteristics of the forest resource.
Topology Rules Applied: Polygons must not overlap; Polygons must not have gaps.
