Data Processing Programs for Remote Terminal Use for the Extensive Forest Inventory, National Resource Lands

摘要

The Extensive Forest Inventory Project for the Bureau of Land Management was initiated in 1970 and designed by the DCS Forestry Staff. Field work was accomplished with the assistance of District field crews and data processing done by the Division of Automated Data Processing (ADP) at the Denver Service Center. Many data processing programs had to be developed to file, process and analyze the mass of photo interpretational, field plot, computational and forest simulation modeling data. Most programs have now been made 'interactive' and can be used directly from remote terminal locations. This technical note is designed to provide potential users with: (1) an explanation of the DSC Forestry-oriented programs and (2) a step-by-step application of their execution from a remote terminal.
