Forest Inventory and Analysis - Southern Research Station

State Inventory Data Status

Virginia

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 2007 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 www.srs.fs.fed.us/pubs/ or hardcopies can be obtained by phoning SRS Science Delivery Group (828-257-4830) or sending an email to pubrequest@fs.fed.us.

Report year

Annual Inventory- Moving Average

Each year 20 percent of all FIA plots are measured in Virginia. Spatially distributed across the state, the most recent plots collected are added to the previous four years of plots to represent a full compliment of data averaged over five years. The moving average allows some assessment of the small change occurring annually.

Data Requests: All data requests are to be made through Spatial Data Services
