The Forest Analytics Landing

The US national forest inventory has information contained from over 130,000 forest inventory plots across the country. Data collected and maintained by the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program are needed for answering core forestry questions, and having the right tools to help extract specific data that fits the analysis is essential.
This new podcast describes four ways to access FIA data for your use. Links to all of the sources I mention can be found below:

• FIA one-click factsheets
• Forest Resources Association state-level forest carbon reports
