Forest Inventory and Habitat Modeling
US Forest Service collects lots of data about federal lands Lands are constantly changing Timber harvest Disease/fire/development Expensive, time consuming, infrequently updated
Remote sensing applied to forest inventory and habitat modeling Better maps Cover private lands Collect information on stand structure, species makeup Map harvested areas Model habitat use
