  1. FIA-IM Forest Inventory and Analysis Information Management

  2. Who are we? • A group of Information Technology and GIS specialists located in Portland and Anchorage.

  3. What do we do? • GIS Support • Data Base expertise • Oracle and MS Access • Programming Services • Training • Data Distribution • Hardware support • PDR, Laptop, Printer, GPS

  4. Data Availability • Integrated Data Base (IDB) • Periodic (Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington) • Juniper • Western and Eastern Washington • Annual 2000-2002 (2003 June/04) • GIS requests • Fuzzed plot coordinates

  5. ThePacific Northwest – Forest Inventory and Analysis Integrated Database PNW - IDB A database of forest inventory information for California, Oregon, and Washington

  6. IDB distribution • Contact Otha Terry (oterry@fs.fed.us) • Version 1.4 release in April

  7. Periodic data distribution • Contact George Breazeale (gbreazeale@fs.fed.us) • Visit the FIADB (www.ncrs2.fs.fed.us) • Data, Mapping tools, Tabler

  8. Juniper • So close we can taste a Juniper Berry………

  9. Annual data distribution • Direct contact • FIADB in near future

  10. GIS/REMOTE SENSING SUPPORT GROUP Spatial data management Grid management plot locations tracking of plots amongst various inventories Mapping support for analysis and publications GIS support for field operations

  11. Spatial data availablility Coordinates (see table) Forest/non-forest map of the United States (including Alaska) June 2004 Biomass map of the United States (including Alaska) June 2004 Forest type map of the United States (including Alaska) June 2004

  12. So when will fuzzed coordinates be available?? FIADB – FIA Annual 2000-2003 panels IDB – (periodic, FIA/R5/R6) FIADB – FIA Annual 2004 panel FIADB – (periodic FIA) FIADB – FIA Annual 2005 panel FIADB – FIA Annual 2006 panel, etc 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 P P P Alaska P California P P P P P Oregon P P Washington Pacific Islands

  13. How can I keep up with all these changes?? web access: fia.fs.fed.us – lots of info about FIA, links to FIADB PNW FIA access for confidentiality questions: Dale Weyermann (503) 808-2042 dweyermann@fs.fed.us Forest Inventory and Analysis Spatial Data Services: Elizabeth LaPoint (610) 557-4049 elapoint@fs.fed.us

  14. Let’s talk tools • Mapmaker (FIADB) • FVS • VIM • NIMS

  15. FIADB mirrors field procedures Field Data Plot  Subplot  Condition  Tree  Seedling  Site tree  Boundary  Oracle Tables Plot Subplot Condition Tree Seedling Site tree Boundary Survey & County

  16. Run Forest Inventory Mapmaker program. The user inputs the following information: 1) geographic area of interest (state/county retrieval or radius retrieval)2) attribute of interest (timberland area, number of trees, growing-stock volume, etc.)3) optional filters (for restricting the query to a specific ownership, species, etc.)4) classification variables to be used for columns and rowsand the web application generates the resulting table. If the user selects County or Congressional District as the row variable a shaded county map is generated.

  17. Forest Inventory Mapmaker Version 1.0 Geographic area of interest is Oregon 1999 cycle 4 (Cycle 4 National Forest System land is not included: Western Oregon 1995-1997;Eastern Oregon 1998-1999 - Periodic inventory): Baker, Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Crook.The attribute of interest is Area of forestland(acres).No filters were used.Pages are None.Rows are County code.Columns are National Forests.

  18. PNW FVS File Creator Beta Version 1.1.0 Formats IDB data into FVS ready input files

  19. IDB Database Connection

  20. IDB Inventory

  21. Vegetation Inventory and Monitoring Analysis Tool (VIM)A collaborative effort between the Interagency NWFP Effectiveness Monitoringand theInteragency Vegetation Inventory UnitPresented Statistical Advisory Group MeetingDec. 11, 2003 Jim Alegria/Carol Apple BLM/FS Portland, Oregon

  22. VIM – What is it? Application to allow easy access and analysis of inventory data to address complex questions about resources

  23. Vegetation Data Currently includes: BLM - Current Vegetation Survey (CVS) NFS – Region 6 (CVS) Region 5 Future: FIA – PNW data

  24. NIMS • National Information Management System • Used to Load, Check, Compile, Output FIA data

  25. Load Tables FIADB NIMS CoreTables Nat’l Core NIMS “Core” Regional QA Pass Edits? • Computations: • National • Regional Load Yes Output

  26. “Between the dream and reality lies the nightmare” Hunter S. Thompson Or in this case the Data Base!

  27. Taper Equation V= b0*D2*b1*H

  28. FIA IM GIS MS PDR GPS IDB PNW FIADB FVS VIM NIMS NFS ODBC MDB NWFP BLM FS Conclusion or Acronyms used • CVS • QA <10 correct = Wake up! 10-15 correct = We'll send you data! 16-18 correct = Good job! 19-20 correct = True Bureacrat!
