The AMS is a summary document that describes the physical and biological characteristics and condition of the resources within the LSFO and how these resources are currently being managed. An analysis of the resource conditions and capabilities provides a reference for developing Land Use Plans. This document represents an early component of the resource management planning process. The AMS is not a comprehensive, detail-oriented document, nor does it represent extreme details about various resources. It is intended to provide a summary analysis of existing management practice, including direction from existing plans and agency policy and local resource, social, and economic conditions.
