Abstract

The Southern On Line Estimator (SOLE), is an Internet-based annual forest inventory and analysis (FIA) data analysis tool developed cooperatively by the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement and the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Inventory and Analysis program at the Southern Research Station. Recent development of SOLE has enhanced data analysis capabilities to include diameter-based categorization of variables, mapping based on plot hex, and tree-volume growth projections. The breadth of analysis options provides a powerful system for FIA data mapping and analysis (http://ncasi.uml.edu/SOLE/).
