Abstract

The importance of forests for satisfying social, economic, and ecological demands continues to increase. National Forest Inventories (NFIs) are the main tool for responding to the information requests related to these demands. National and international reporting obligations mirror these needs for information, but due to a lack of political coordination, NFIs use a huge variety of data collection protocols and reporting formats including non-matching terms and definitions. These circumstances characterize the challenges linked to international information requests for estimates of future wood and biomass supply.
