F I A Forest Inventory and Analysis Program The Nation’s Forest Census What’s hot? Biomass and carbon! Range and Urban FIA monitoring engine Land use/ Land cover Forests and Annual TPO Climate Change (or whatever) Station Biomass and Carbon

F I A Forest Inventory and Analysis Program The Nation’s Forest Census Biomass estimation goals National consistency Biomass-volume compatibility in our national database Realistic estimates of any component for any selected area

F I A Forest Inventory and Analysis Program The Nation’s Forest Census FIA development of CRM CRM is the Component Ratio Method for calculating total biomass by tree component and is a modified version of the commonly used biomass expansion factor (BEF) approach relies on FIA individual tree measurements to estimate bole volume and missing and rotten material relies on published biomass studies to establish relationships between tree boles and other tree and site components

F I A Forest Inventory and Analysis Program The Nation’s Forest Census To Date Prepared paper Specific Gravity and Other Properties of Wood and Bark for 156 Species of Trees Found in North America (updates Jenkins and adds more data on bark and species green weights) Prepared paper Investigation into Calculating Tree Biomass and Carbon in the FIADB Using a Biomass Expansion Factor Approach Loaded the national database with new compatible component data using the CRM-BEF approach and posted to the web 2008 FIA Symposium (RMRS-P-56) Investigation into Calculating Tree Biomass and Carbon in the FIADB Using a Biomass Expansion Factor Approach Linda S. Heath, Mark H. Hansen, James E. Smith, W. Brad Smith, and Patrick D. Miles Research Note NRS-38 Specific Gravity and Other Properties of Wood and Bark for 156 Tree Species Found in North America Patrick D. Miles and W. Brad Smith

Total Forest Carbon Live above-ground carbon Dead wood carbon Forest floor carbon Live below-ground carbon Soil organic carbon Forest Carbon Pool Tables by State and Owner Group Forest Carbon Graphics Graphics Fact Sheet Forest Carbon Fact Sheet Carbon in U.S. Forests In an effort to provide further transparency and consistency in official U.S. forest carbon estimates, the FIA program of the U.S. Forest Service is now providing carbon stock estimates through a selection of our online tools. As we endeavor to improve national consistency of our carbon modeling and estimation procedures, there will be divergences between estimates from older procedures and newer estimates such as provided on this web page. As we progress through this continuous improvement process with our stakeholders, national consistency among carbon reporting tools and improved confidence in carbon estimates will be achieved.
