Forest Inventory and Analysis - Eastwide
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
To distribute forest inventory and analysis plot data to interested users in a common format for eastern states.
Description
This data can be used to estimate current forest conditions for areas in the Eastern United States. Collection Organization: Southern Research Station, Northeastern Forest Experiment Station, North Central Forest Experiment Station.
Collection Methodology: Plot measurements from cluster plots of 10 sub-plots located over a one acre area. Sub-plots are variable radius plots (37.5 BAF English) for trees 5"dbh+ and small fixed radius sub-plots for trees < 5". Collection Frequency: Approximately every 10 years.
