State Inventory Data Status

Alabama

Below are tables and inventory information summaries for current and previous FIA surveys and analytical reports. Tables are provided for each report year and can be downloaded as a pdf file (requires Adobe reader) or as Excel spreadsheets. Currently, the tables differ among report years. Beginning with the 2004 report year, a standard set (1-35) will be produced to assist in trend analysis. Definitions for terms used in the reports and tables are provided in the SRS-FIA Standard Glossary. Electronic copies of the reports are available at https://srs.fs.usda.gov/pubs/ or hardcopies can be obtained by phoning SRS Science Delivery Group (801-828-4832) or sending an email to pubrequest@srs.fs.usda.gov

State Report - 5 year report

Resource Update - Annual Inventory

Each year 15 percent of all FIA plots are measured in Alabama. Spatially distributed across the state, the most recent plots collected are added to the previous six years of plots to represent a full compliment of data averaged over seven years. The moving average allows some assessment of the small change occurring annually.
