Forest Resources of the Nez Perce National Forest

摘要

As part of a National Forest System cooperative inventory, the Interior West Forest Inventory and Analysis (IWFIA) Program of the USDA Forest Service conducted a forest resource inventory on the Nez Perce National Forest using a nationally standardized mapped-plot design. This report presents highlights of the inventory using commonly requested variables and summaries. The data could be summarized in other ways for different purposes. The information presented in this report is based on the IWFIA inventory sample collected in 2001 (USDA 2001). Supplementary documentation and inventory terminology can be located in USDA 2002b. Additional data collected by the Nez Perce National Forest and used separately or in combination with IWFIA data may produce varying results. Changes since the inventory, such as the impact of recent disturbances on the forest, have not been incorporated into this report.
