Figure 1. — Resources and resource uses 



RESOURCES 



A discussion of multiple use often relates primarily to the first four resources listed 

 above — the renewable surface resources of water, timber, forage, and wildlife — along 

 with recreation, meaning the recreation opportunity. Actually, of course, recreation is a kind 

 of use (see footnote 2). Minerals, because of their different character, are not always 

 listed. They are not renewable in the usual sense, their distribution is generally erratic, and 

 they are often under the surface. Nevertheless, where they do occur and are exploited, 

 their extraction often has real effects on the surface resources, and thus becomes an 

 important part of multiple use management. In a very real way we manage the method 

 of their exploitation to protect other resource values. Soil is not listed because we do not 

 manage it per se for use but as the basic constituent of the watershed and a foundation for 

 the surface renewable resources and crops. 



PRODUCTS OR USES 



Many other products and uses could be listed. Use may take place on site or at some 

 distant point. It may be consumptive or nonconsumptive. 



In the case of recreation, use may be centered primarily on one resource; however, 

 the "quality" of the recreation experience is generally influenced by an assemblage of 

 resources — the environmental complex. Wilderness is a primitive or near primitive con- 

 dition of the environmental complex.
