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 state of Vermont's forests.Tree Metrics Summarized to the Plot LevelCustom query summarizing key data by species and by yearVMC.311.305mySQL/femc/data/archive/project/federal-forest-inventory-analysis-data-for/dataset/tree-metrics-summarized-to-plot-level2003-01-01cnSequence numberA unique sequence number used to identify a tree record. intlatLatitude of plotThe approximate latitude of the plot in decimal degrees using NAD 83 datum.
