These online databases are created, maintained and supported by the FIA
program to make our data readily accessible to our customers.

National FIA Data
Base Retrieval System
This program produces tables and maps from the USDA Forest Service's
Forest Inventory and Analysis Data Base (FIADB). 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 rows and 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. This application replaces the old Eastwide/Westwide
database, which is no longer supported. |
Phase 3 (Forest
Health) Data Set Archive
This page includes links to archived data sets associated with the
Phase 3 sample plots including attrributes such as tree crown and damage
data, lichen species diversity, ozone damage, and soil data. Prior
to 2000, these attributes were collected as part of the Forest Health
Monitoring program; since 2001, they have been collected as part of
FIA. Data from both programs are available by year, and include
metdata. Data are available in ZIPped archives, in both ASCII and
SAS dataset formats. |
Timber Product Output (TPO)
Database Retrieval System
Developed in Support of the 1997 Resources Planning Act (RPA)
Assessment. This system acts as an interface to a standard set of
consistently coded TPO data for each State and county in the Country. This
national set of TPO data consists of 11 data variables that describe for
each county the roundwood products harvested, the logging residues left
behind, the timber otherwise removed, and the wood and bark residues
generated by its primary wood-using mills.

address specific information needs. |
2002
Resource Planning Act (RPA) Assessment Database
This retrieval system allows you to select the geographic area and variables of interest and generate a standard set of tables from the 2002 RPA Database. Includes some data collected by National Forest programs in areas where FIA data were not available. For more information about the RPA program, please go to http://fia.fs.fed.us/rpa.htm

1992 & 1997 Resource
Planning Act (RPA) Assessment Database
This retrieval system allows you to select the variables of interest
and generate a standard set of tables from the 1992 or 1997 RPA
Database. The RPA database includes mostly FIA data, but also
includes data collected by National Forests in some areas which were not
covered by the FIA program. Please read the 'Procedures' section of
the RPA documentation to fully understand the caveats associated with the
database. |
Climate Change
Atlas for 80 Forest Tree Species of the Eastern United
States
Authors: A. M. Prasad and L. R. Iverson, USDA Forest Service, Delaware OH. This is an outstanding site which presents distribution maps and tables for different climate change scenarios, life-history and disturbance attributes, ecological attributes, forest type maps and sorted list of species importance values by state/county for different climate change scenarios, and more for 80 species in the eastern half of the United States (east of the 100th meridian). The products presented in this atlas were a result of a modelling
effort that involved the use of USDA Forest Service's Forest Inventory
Data, numerous environmental variables gleaned from various sources and
climate variables provided by various Global Circulation Models
(GCMs). |
