The multiple resource inventory decision-making process

Abstract

A model of the multiple resource inventory decision-making process is presented that identifies steps in conducting inventories, describes the infrastructure, and points out knowledge gaps that are common to many interdisciplinary studies.Successful efforts to date suggest the need to bridge the gaps by sharing elements, maintain dialogue among stakeholders in multiple disciplines, and foster an interdisciplinary infrastructure. Included is a list of components associated with ecological concerns and human influences that are tied to a timber-oriented forest inventory sample design.
