The network of randomly distributed inventory plots are designed to capture broad temporal changes in the condition of the nation’s forest resource. Spatial coverages of species distribution, extent of forest cover and biomass compliment the yearly data summaries to capture an unbiased estimated of the state of Vermont's forests.Federal Forest Inventory and Analysis Data for VermontMorinRandallforest dynamicsforest ecologyspatial variabilitytemporal propertiesTree-level Data Gathered Through the Forest Inventory and Analysis Program1983-01-01An extract of the tree measurement data collected by the Forest Inventory and Analysis program for Vermont ("TREE" file).
