Annual Inventory Design: Phase III

Forest Health Monitoring

(each sample represents 95,000 acres)

  • Basic Forest Health Monitoring system that began in 1990 will continue until the annual Forest Inventory and Analysis system begins in each state.

  • The Forest Health Monitoring and Forest Inventory and Analysis sample locations will be co-located and measured using standard Forest Inventory and Analysis and Forest Health Monitoring protocols.

  • The Forest Health Monitoring grid will be converted to a 5-year measurement cycle with no overlap and the intensity will be boosted.

  • Working towards a single visit by field crews.

  • Data compilation and database systems will be merged.
