Available Data Inventory data (FIA/SAFIS and FPI) GIS information Satellite imagery Growth and Yield Models/Tables Management practices Economical rules Limitations

Inventory Data FIA / SAFIS data – transition to annual inventory Old data from the periodic inventories Industry data Data are in various formats and come from different type of surveys

GIS data sources Satellite imagery Governmental agencies State sources Forest Product Industry Aerial photographs

GIS data - forest land cover types

GIS data - regions and FIA plots

Spatial populating of inventory data

Populating FIA plots - “mid-point” expansion

Populating FIA plots - “mid-point” algorithm

Populating FIA plots - “mid-point” algorithm

Populating FIA plots - “circle” algorithm

Populating FIA plots - “circle” algorithm

Populating FIA plots Mid-point based circle algorithm on TM data

Populating FIA plots Mid-point based circle algorithm on TM data with inverse Trigging

Yield tables Yield tables available only for some species -mostly softwoods Majority of relatively old yield tables Various formats No yield tables for stands with various origins No information about growth and yield of many cover types No information on growth response to various treatments
