FIA-IM Forest Inventory and Analysis Information Management
Who are we? • A group of Information Technology and GIS specialists located in Portland and Anchorage.
What do we do? • GIS Support • Data Base expertise • Oracle and MS Access • Programming Services • Training • Data Distribution • Hardware support • PDR, Laptop, Printer, GPS
Data Availability • Integrated Data Base (IDB) • Periodic (Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington) • Juniper • Western and Eastern Washington • Annual 2000-2002 (2003 June/04) • GIS requests • Fuzzed plot coordinates
ThePacific Northwest – Forest Inventory and Analysis Integrated Database PNW - IDB A database of forest inventory information for California, Oregon, and Washington
IDB distribution • Contact Otha Terry (oterry@fs.fed.us) • Version 1.4 release in April
Periodic data distribution • Contact George Breazeale (gbreazeale@fs.fed.us) • Visit the FIADB (www.ncrs2.fs.fed.us) • Data, Mapping tools, Tabler
Juniper • So close we can taste a Juniper Berry………
Annual data distribution • Direct contact • FIADB in near future
GIS/REMOTE SENSING SUPPORT GROUP Spatial data management Grid management plot locations tracking of plots amongst various inventories Mapping support for analysis and publications GIS support for field operations
Spatial data availablility Coordinates (see table) Forest/non-forest map of the United States (including Alaska) June 2004 Biomass map of the United States (including Alaska) June 2004 Forest type map of the United States (including Alaska) June 2004
So when will fuzzed coordinates be available?? FIADB – FIA Annual 2000-2003 panels IDB – (periodic, FIA/R5/R6) FIADB – FIA Annual 2004 panel FIADB – (periodic FIA) FIADB – FIA Annual 2005 panel FIADB – FIA Annual 2006 panel, etc 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 P P P Alaska P California P P P P P Oregon P P Washington Pacific Islands

Run Forest Inventory Mapmaker program. The user inputs the following information: 1) geographic area of interest (state/county retrieval or radius retrieval)2) attribute of interest (timberland area, number of trees, growing-stock volume, etc.)3) optional filters (for restricting the query to a specific ownership, species, etc.)4) classification variables to be used for columns and rowsand the web application generates the resulting table. If the user selects County or Congressional District as the row variable a shaded county map is generated.
Forest Inventory Mapmaker Version 1.0 Geographic area of interest is Oregon 1999 cycle 4 (Cycle 4 National Forest System land is not included: Western Oregon 1995-1997;Eastern Oregon 1998-1999 - Periodic inventory): Baker, Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Crook.The attribute of interest is Area of forestland(acres).No filters were used.Pages are None.Rows are County code.Columns are National Forests.
