Book Description
The North Central Research Station's Forest Inventory and Analysis (NCFIA) program began fieldwork for the fifth forest inventory of Kansas' forest resources in 2001. This inventory initiated the new annual inventory system in which one-fifth of the field plots (considered one panel) in the State are measured each year. A complete inventory consists of measuring, compiling, and reporting the data for all plots in all five panels. Once the plots in all panels have been measured, each will be remeasured approximately every 5 years. For example, the field plots measured in 2003 will be remeasured in 2008.
