1 Urban FIA Goal -- Annually monitor the Nation’s urban forests with special emphasis in the largest (Iconic) cities of America!

2 Why Urban areas home to >80% of population Urban forests on front line of service to people Urban forests not covered by strategic monitoring program Urban areas currently cover ~68 million acres (size of CO) Urban areas projected to cover ~165 million acres by 2060 (size of TX)

3 Urban (1990): 2.5% of Lower 48

4 Urban (2000): 3.1%

5 Urban (2010): 3.6%

6 Urban (2020): 4.4%

7 Urban (2030): 5.2%

8 Urban (2040): 6.3%

9 Urban (2050): 7.4%

10 Urban (2060): 8.7% of Lower 48

11 How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame FIA Plots in Maryland

12 How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame = Census-defined urban boundary (UAUC) Urbanized areas (UA) >=500 people/mi 2, population >=50,000 Urban clusters (UC) >=500 people/mi 2, population 2,500 to 49,999 = Census-defined urban boundary (UAUC) Urbanized areas (UA) >=500 people/mi 2, population >=50,000 Urban clusters (UC) >=500 people/mi 2, population 2,500 to 49,999 = Census-defined urban boundary (UAUC) Urbanized areas (UA) >=500 people/mi 2, population >=50,000 Urban clusters (UC) >=500 people/mi 2, population 2,500 to 49,999

13 How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame = Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA) defines Metro Area around City of Baltimore

14 How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame Urban forest is within U.S. Census-defined urban boundary (UAUC) Constrained by the chosen city’s Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA). Urban FIA plots in Baltimore Metro Area

15 How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame = Intensified sample within hub city of Baltimore

16 How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame Metro areas of largest (Iconic) hub cities first; then the rest of the urban (blue) areas Iconic hub city = population ~200k +

17 Urban FIA Implementation 2015 Des Moines, IA Houston, TX Madison, WI Milwaukee, WI Providence, RI St Louis, MO 2014 Austin, TX Baltimore, MD 2016 Burlington., VT Chicago, IL Cleveland, OH Kansas City, MO Pittsburgh, PA Rochester, NY Springfield, MO = Metro Area with Hub City Intensification = Other Urban Areas Statewide Implementation = Urban Areas = Metro Areas = Hub City
