Selected Examples of Advanced FIA Data Analysis

چکیده
This short discussion introduces the new Special Section on Advanced FIA Data Analysis that has been recently created in the Mathematical and Computational Forestry & Natural-Resource Sciences (MCFNS) journal as a result of collaboration between the journal editors and scientists of the U.S. Forest Service, FIA (Forest Inventory Analysis) program. This section contains three papers, all of which originated from presentations at the 9th FIA Symposium held at Park City, Utah, on October 21-23, 2008. The papers passed two screening criteria and a peer-review process consistent with the MCFNS standards, and were assessed by the journal editors as consistent with the MCRNS scope and focus and valuable contributions to the journal’s contents.

Monitoring Nontimber Forest Products Using Forest Inventory Data: An Example with Slippery Elm Bark
The USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program collects data on a wealth of variables related to trees in forests. Some of these trees produce nontimber forest products (NTFPs) (e.g., fruit, bark, and sap) that are harvested for culinary, decorative, building, and medicinal purposes. At least 11 tree species inventoried by FIA are valued for their bark. For example, slipper...
متن کاملState of the art in on-line techniques coupled to flow injection analysis FIA/on-line- a critical review
Flow injection analysis (FIA) has emerged as an increasingly used laboratory tool in chemical analysis. Employment of the technique for on-line sample treatment and on-line measurement in chemical process control is a growing trend. This article reviews the recent applications of FlA. Most papers refer to on-line sample treatment. Although FIA is very well suited to continuous on-line process m...
متن کاملEstimating regional forest cover in East Texas using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data
This study tested the degree to which single date, near-nadir AVHRR image could provide forest cover estimates comparable to the phase I estimates obtained from the traditional photo-based techniques of the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program. FIA program is part of the United States Department of Agriculture-Forest Service (USFS). A six-county region in east Texas was selected for this...
متن کاملFeasibility of High-Density Climate Reconstruction Based on Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Collected Tree-ring Data
This study introduces a novel tree-ring dataset, with unparalleled spatial density, for use as a climate proxy. Ancillary Douglas fir and piñon pine tree-ring data collected by the U.S. Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis Program (FIA data) were subjected to a series of tests to determine their feasibility as climate proxies. First, temporal coherence between the FIA data and previousl...
متن کاملThe Extent of Selected Nonnative Invasive Plants on Southern Forest Lands
—Studies suggest that the southern United States is an area of primary concern with regards to the spread of nonnative invasive plant species. Recent data show that species such as Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) and Nepalese browntop (Microstegium vimineum) are invading forests and displacing native species throughout the southern United States. Monitoring on large spatial scales is a...
