Analysis and reporting UFORE Analysis and reporting

Analysis I Basic Fundamental analyses, e.g. Raw tabular output Species, DBH class distributions Total pollution removal Net annual C storage/sequestration by DBH class Raw tabular output 25 text files (with *.out/*.prn extension) Tables, list in Manual View as text files

Analysis II Advanced UFORE code capable of complex analyses E.g. Carbon sequestration by DBH class by landuse Pollution removal by condition by DBH class Primarily for researchers

Analysis III Future Will be carried out in desktop app 12 most useful analyses Automatically executed Viewing options Advanced analyses at user’s command

Reporting I Former detailed E.g., Brooklyn (2002) Online: http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS64575 Conceived as a technical scientific report Methods Results Discussion 68pp of tables Very time-consuming work

Reporting II Current basic Those 25 files, again Tables in NotePad Hard to work with Screen capture works sometimes Charts Import raw output into spreadsheet Fiddle with format Use spreadsheet’s graphing function

Reporting III Current enhanced Texas FS report Minneapolis report Pete Smith et al Good design Good web sense http://www.houstonregionalforest.org/Report/ Minneapolis report Dave Nowak et al (in press) Good presentation text

Reporting IV Future automatic report writer Component of desktop app Model: Indiana UFORE report (2004) http://plone.urbanforestrysouth.org/Resources/Library/TTResource.2004-12-09.2714/at_download/file Style, graphic choices In development at this point
