1 The GB National Forest Inventory

2 NFI design 1. Forest Map 2. 15,000 one Ha Survey Squares 3. Map + Squares brought together in the NFI DB 4. Survey Square details multiplied up to the NFI map area X GB Server 5. NFI Information Produced Volume 5 2

3 Annually updated map the backbone of woodland gain and loss statistics 3

4 Using remote sensing for updates to the map Woodland signature Clearfell with unique signature 4

5 Fieldwork sample square locations First Cycle -3 of 5 years complete 9000 sample squares to date, Around 20,000 stands & 330,000 trees measured 5

6 Individual tree measures 6

7 Sample plot with sample trees 5.64 m radius sample plot All trees above 4cm dbh mapped and measured 7

8 Survey at each square Forest type & landuse Gross / net area Habitat type & condition Silvicultural Systems Species Canopy structure Planting year Recent Treatment Management Practice Thinning history Access & ease of harvesting Boundary & cultural features Micro-Habitats & veteran trees Recreation & social factors Mensuration assessments: dbh height measurements crown widths and depths stocking species straightness (conifers) live / dead Natural Regeneration NVC & ground, field & shrub layer vegetation General health Dead wood Invasive Species 8
