Assuming your GIS database is complete, a few simple questions a GIS can answer:

• What soil types exists under a given stand of Douglas-fir?
  
• Which timber stands are within 500 feet of a trail?
  
• Where are the factories that are not in compliance with Federal Air Quality Standards?
  
• What are the mailing addresses of residents within 1 mile of a highway resurfacing project?
  
• Based on criteria such as geology, soil type, landform, timber age and species composition, what are areas that may be prone to hillslope failure?

Let's look at the first 2 items in detail with a live GIS demo.
