Urban Inventory Pilot Supplement

This manual describes supplemental data collection procedures for plots falling within an urban boundary. The urban boundary is defined by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2000 as all territory, population, and housing units in urbanized areas (UA) and urban clusters (UC). UA is a densely settled area with at least 500 people per square mile that has a census population of at least 50,000. UC is a densely settled area with at least 500 people per square mile that has a census population of 2,500 to 49,999. The urban boundary is overlaid with the FIA grid and all plot falling within this boundary have both general data and detailed tree measurements collected whether or not they meet the definition of forested. Through this process data is collected that provides information on the amount, status, and character of the 'urban forest', and provides an assessment of the tree resource for which species, health, and biomass is not currently collected (the data gap).
