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.Federal Forest Inventory and Analysis Data for the NortheastNevinsMatthiasforest healthforest inventorynortheastern forestsforest coverseedlingDamage and Decay2013-01-01Damage and Decay dataset for the forest indicators dashboard.Trees can become damaged for a variety of reasons such as lightning strikes, neighboring treefall, logging damage, poor growing conditions, insects, or genetics. Physical damage to trees can reduce their life span by allowing diseases and fungi to infiltrate the wood, leading to rot and decay. While damaged and decaying trees have a vital role in the forest ecosystem through providing habitat and food for a variety of organisms from fungi to insects, an increase in the proportion of our trees that are classified as damaged or decaying can impact the value of our forests and suggest that trees are being negatively impacted by stressors.Z1384_3399_2OJ3CUVMC.1384.3399mySQL/femc/data/archive/project/federal-forest-inventory-analysis-data-northeast/dataset/damage-decayLiveTreesLiveTreestextLiveTrees_DamagedLiveTrees_DamagedtextRegionRegiontextStateStatetextTreeDamage_PercentTreeDamage_PercentdecimalYearYearint
