dataset_eml_abstractheader

    A summary of the latest USDA Forest Inventory and Analysis data for the Northeast. The network of randomly distributed inventory plots are designed to capture broad temporal changes in the condition of the nation’s forest resource. Spatial coverages of species distribution, extent of forest cover and biomass compliment the yearly data summaries to capture an unbiased estimated of the northeastern forests.
