  Modernized Forest Inventory Reports Provide Online, Interactive Storytelling with Data Visualization

  Historically, the state forest inventories produced by the Forest Inventory and Analysis program every 5 years have been traditional station publications. Employees across the Northern Research Station have been creating digital state reports that include interactive data visualizations for engaging storytelling and customizable, sharable content for readers and users.

  FIA develops a rapid assessment method to deliver fast answers to questions about storm damage

  Severe weather events are becoming more common, increasing the potential for damage and mortality in forests. Decision-makers at all levels need rapid yet reliable estimates of storm damage to inform disaster funding and to guide response efforts. With its expansive network of permanent plots, the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program is uniquely poised to be a reliable source of answers.
