Understory

Many abandoned mine sites pose environmental and human health concerns, including physical risks like open holes, contaminated soil, degraded water quality, and poor native plant revegetation. One tool for remediating degraded soil is to incorporate biochar in the mine spoils.

This document provides an overview of several on-going research projects in the state of Minnesota.

Forest Products Laboratory Earth Day 2024 Scavenger Hunt

The TreeMap dataset provides detailed spatial information on forest characteristics, including number of live and dead trees, biomass, and carbon across the entire forested extent of the continental United States. The objective of TreeMap is to combine the complementary strengths of detailed-but-spatially-sparse Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data with less-detailed-but-spatially-comprehensive LANDFIRE data to better estimate forest characteristics at a variety of scales.

This manual documents data collection procedures, codes, standards, and definitions used by the Pacific Northwest Research Station, Forest Inventory and Analysis (PNW-FIA) program in the 2024 forest inventory of Guam.

This document describes the standards, codes, methods, and definitions for Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) field data items. The objective is to describe URBAN FIA field procedures that are consistent and uniform across all FIA units. This URBAN FIA guide will serve as the framework for regional FIA programs; individual programs may add regional variables that support their CORE program, but may not change or add to the nationally standard URBAN FIA requirements. Unless otherwise noted, the items in this field guide are considered standard URBAN FIA, that is, the information will be collec...
