Mann, L K; Kitchings, J T

A natural resources data base is described that is useful in natural resource management on the Department of Energy Reservation at Oak Ridge, in research site selection on the National Environmental Research Park (NERP) within the Reservation, in summarizing and analyzing resource data in areas selected for industrial development in and near the Reservation, and in regional analyses both on the Reservation and on adjacent land. Soils, surface geology, slope classes, slope aspect, land use, and roads have been digitized on a 0.5-ha cell size for the Oak Ridge area. Two examples of using the data base with IMGRID, a data storage, retrieval, and modeling system developed by the Tennessee Valley Authority are presented. The first example is a search for barren or glade type soils and the second is a summary of forest productivity classes. Summary information concerning soil series distribution, most common soils, and taxonomy of soils is also included.
