1 NRSFIA RMT

2 Base Program Expectations Sample Intensity of 1 plot per ~6000 acres –Partner paid intensifications an option Inventory cycle of 7 years in the East –Currently partner in-kind contributions buy down to 5-year cycle Install national plot design on forested plots Collect nationally consistent core data on forested plots –Augmentation a possibility Collect a more robust set of ecosystem indicators on “summer-window” plots –Minimum sub-sample is 1/16th A QAQC program including cruiser certifications and 4-10% check plots Complete an annual panel of plots in 1 year Process annual data thru the National Information Management System (NIMS) Post inventory statistics to FIADB/Web within 6 months of the last plot in the annual panel Every 5 years publish a state report 18 months after the last panel posted to FIADB At least every 5 years conduct a TPO study in each state Every 5 years produce a NWOS report Annual carbon accounting and national greenhouse gases reporting Provide Spatial Data Services to maximize data use and ensure privacy compliance Hold regional and national management team meetings Special efforts

3 FIA Strategic Plan Initial thoughts--focus on 11 FIA Farm Bill points: 1.Fully Annual (AK) 2.Urban 3.Carbon/Biomass 4.Reevaluate the Core 5.TPO 6.Cooperation/Support 7.Partnering (analysis and IM) 8.Remote Sensing 9.Land-use Change 10.NWOS 11.Better estimates for smaller areas But the Farm Bill didn’t pass and the Strategic Plan clock is ticking

4 FIA Strategic Plan 4 Main Themes –Solidify the Base Program –Enhance Delivery of the Base Program –Expand the Program –Flexibility

5 Solidify the Base Program Inventory Interior Alaska –The final frontier where no annual FIA crew has gone before Fully Develop the Non-Plot Mission Areas of FIA –Timber Product Output (TPO) Nationalize and create center of excellence thru a university partner –National Woodland Owners Survey (NWOS) Bolster Family Forest Research Center at U of MA –Forest Carbon Accounting Institutionalize within FIA (Carbon is Us) Continually improve National Greenhouse Gas Inventory

6 Enhance Delivery of the Base Program Partnerships –Got us here; critical to getting us there New Technology –Gizmos, Gadgets, and Glitz More Techniques Research –Faster, Better, Cheaper Increased Analytical Capability –Making Hay. Education –Training, Tools, and Touting

7 Expand the Program-Then The FIA Grid—A Marginal Cost Opportunity –Treed Land Inventory Urban forests Riparian forests Working trees in agricultural landscapes –Windrows –Shelterbelts –Etc. –Vegetative Inventory Rangelands Etc. Take over the world one plot at a time

8 Expand the Program-Now Take over the world one constituency at a time – Urban first The forests amongst which most of our populace live (and vote) The only forests that many of our populace ever know The forests often first impacted by invasive species The forests on the frontline of service to people and communities The forests not yet covered by a continuous monitoring system – Fill the information gap Foster urban forest stewardship Provide an urban to rural gradient Cover the wildland-urban interface Support “vibrant city” initiatives Feed the link to human health and safety, and community stability Care for the land and serve the people where they live

9 Flexibility FIA budgets are trending down Past protocols and procedures too rigid Bumping up against budgetary realities Reaching logistical limits No desire to return a timber inventory Need sampling and protocol flexibilities Provide a robust inventory of forest ecosystems Accommodate regional needs and diversity Remain nationally consistent Balance delivery with resources

10 Flexibilities Sub-paneling for optimal cycle lengths Sub-sampling plots in a sub-panel –Summer-window or other optimal sub-sample Sub-sampling sub/micro/macro-plots on plots –Better logistical balance Accommodating levels of indicator attribution –“Lite” to “Heavy” –Better balance info needs with workload constraints Temporal flexibility in re-measurement cycles –If it doesn’t change often then measure it less frequently

14 Future Reporting Pressure to find cost-savings R&D wide –FIA big opportunity Consolidation across FIA Units –Consistency and Collaboration More Technology –Paper-less formats »PDF’s »E-books »Hardcopy pay to play –Pub-less formats »Smart websites/tools/apps Interpretive Topical Multi-media On the fly/user specified Trends/futures/change Visual/map/spatial Partnering –Local leads for core –Fed leads special
