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 Metrics Summarized to the Plot Level2003-01-01Custom query summarizing key data by species and by yearFIA reports on the status and trends in forest area and location; in the species, size, and health of trees; in total tree growth and mortality.Z0311_FIA_PlotLevelSummaryStatisticsVMC.311.305mySQLPontius, J., and S.
