2007. Lund, H. Gyde. Accounting for the World’s Rangelands
Rangelands 29(1): 3-10. Peer reviewed.
Abstract: Rangelands are important to all of us for the goods and services they provide. Definitions and statistics on rangeland vary. In addition, definitions of various land classes such as rangeland and forest overlap. Because of a lack of objective definitions and international agencies responsible the accounting of rangelands, we do not know how much rangeland there is in the world. Nor do we have a good handle as to what is happening to that land. This paper presents a scheme based upon land classification system developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The use of the system may help for objective accounting of not only rangelands, but of all lands. http://www.srmjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-toc&issn=1551-501X

2006. Lund, H. Gyde. Guide for Classifying Lands for Greenhouse Gas Inventories
Journal of Forestry 104 (4): 211-216(6).
Abstract: Recently, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has issued new Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry (GPG-LULUCF), which stipulates different data analysis and reporting procedures for changes in carbon storage and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for six land classes: forest, cropland, grassland, wetland, settlements, and other lands. However, the GPG-LULUCF does not include a decision tree to support the identification and classification of lands. This is a critical first step necessary to proceed on land classification for subsequent calculation of GHG inventories. This article provides a useful decision tree and dichotomous key for classifying lands according to the GPG-LULUCF. Countries and the international community will need this tool to unify common criteria for land classification. http://saf.publisher.ingentaconnect.com/content/saf/jof/2006/00000104/00000004/art00008

2006. UNEP. Africa’s Lakes: Atlas of Our Changing Environment
Nairobi, Kenya: United Nations Environment Programme, Division of Early Warning and Assessment (DEWA) 90p. Incumbent was one of the contributing authors.
Abstract: Increasing concern as to how human activities impact Africa's lakes has led to documentation and quantification of the lakes and the environmental changes taking place. Through a combination of ground photographs, current and historical satellite images, and narrative based on extensive scientific evidence, this publication illustrates how humans have altered their surroundings and continue to make observable and measurable changes to Africa's lakes and their environment. http://na.unep.net/AfricaLakes/

2005. Wood, Lynnette; Lund, H. Gyde; Torres, Victor E.; Hughell, David A.; Pérez-Chavéz Mario. A Carbon Inventory for Mexico
24 p. In: Aguirre-Bravo, Celedonio, et. al . Eds. Monitoring Science and Technology Symposium: Unifying Knowledge for Sustainability in the Western Hemisphere; 2004 September 20-24; Denver, CO. Proceedings RMRS-P-37CD. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. CD-ROM. Incumbent provided background on inventory for carbon.
Abstract: Treaties such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) recognize the link between changes in vegetation cover and impacts on the global climate. The UNFCCC specifies guidelines for monitoring land use changes and for including such changes in the “equation” for evaluating a nation’s compliance with efforts to reduce carbon dioxide (CO) releases into the atmosphere. With an estimated 20% of CO2 emissions coming from land use changes, such monitoring must measure the carbon content of various vegetation types. ARD, Inc. developed such means through a United States Agency for International Development (USAID) project entitled Technical Assistance for Developing a Carbon Index for Mexico. The purpose of the project was to strengthen Mexico’s ability to estimate the amount of biomass CO2 lost or gained over time based on a consistent methodology. The ARD team developed a methodology for deriving national carbon estimates from, and in coordination with, well-established Mexican government programs. The team focused on the following land use change and forestry (LUCF) reporting categories: changes in forest and other woody biomass stocks, forest and grassland conversion, and abandonment of managed lands. For each category, the team developed technical guidelines that use data collection efforts already in existence or that would soon be underway—that is, long-term government programs funded each year that would be relatively consistent over time. The team felt that such commitment was necessary to support change estimates that occur on a time scale of decades. The team field-tested the methodology and had the results peer reviewed. The ARD procedures have application throughout the western hemisphere and indeed the rest of the world.

2005. UNEP. One Planet, Many People: Atlas of Our Changing Environment
Nairobi, Kenya: United Nations Environment Programme, Division of Early Warning and Assessment. 334 p. Incumbent was lead science writer for the report. The publication won three international awards.
Abstract: In celebration of World Environment Day on June 3, 2005 the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in cooperation with NASA, United States Geological Survey (USGS) and University of Maryland launched One Planet, Many People: Atlas of our Changing Environment--a publication that provides visual evidence of environmental change using satellite images, graphics and text. The focus is on the status and trends over several decades, both in physical and human geography. The Atlas discusses human influences on our Earth including changes in land use, biological diversity, and climate. One Planet presents visual evidence of global environmental changes – both the good and the bad -resulting from natural processes and human-induced activities including those of the atmosphere, coastal areas, waters, forests, croplands, grasslands, urban areas, and tundra and Polar regions. The Atlas demonstrates how our growing number of people and their consumption patterns are shrinking our natural resource base. The challenge is how do we satisfy human needs without compromising the health of ecosystems. One Planet, Many People is an additional wake-up call to this need. http://www.na.unep.net/OnePlanetManyPeople/index.php

2004. Lund, H. Gyde; Dallmeier, Francisco; Alonso, Alfonso. Biodiversity: Biodiversity in forests
MS 146. p.33-40. In: Encyclopedia of Forest Sciences. J. Burley, J. Evans and J. A. Youngquist (eds.). Elsevier/Academic Press. ISBN 0-12-145160-7.
Abstract: Interest in biodiversity began in the mid-1980s with the Biodiversity Symposium, held in Washington, DC sponsored by the National Academy of Science. Within increasing human populations and rising demands for resources and living space, the need to conserve biological diversity rose to the forefront with the development of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1992. The purpose of the Convention is to conserve biological diversity, promote the sustainable use of its components, and encourage equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources. Biodiversity inventories provide the building blocks upon which to carry out the intent of CBD and to meet local needs. Using inventories as the base, industry and other development opportunities should incorporate biodiversity within their management practices. http://books.elsevier.com/efs

2004. Lund, H. Gyde. Inventory: Multipurpose resource inventories
MS 159. 414-420. In: Encyclopedia of Forest Sciences. J. Burley, J. Evans and J. A. Youngquist (eds.). Elsevier/Academic Press. ISBN 0-12-145160-7.
Abstract: Resource inventories are often functionally oriented and confined to areas where resource management opportunities are the highest (e.g., timber inventories were conducted only as commercial forest land). However, many lands are now managed for a variety of benefits, including water, forage, wildlife habitat, wood, recreation, wilderness, and minerals. International agreements and recent legislation often require that we take an integrated approach in our decision-making, resource planning, and inventories. In order to address increasing concerns about the environment and sustainable development and to reduce costs, we are finding we need more information than we normally collect in traditional timber inventories. Faced with new information requirements and decreasing budgets, many resource inventories in the future will have to change from the traditional functional inventories we conduct now. They will have to meet more needs with less funding. Future inventories will need to concentrate on measuring basic resource attributes in a manner that will permit multiple use interpretations. The inventories must be comparable across Forests, States, and Regions. They also must promote a continuity of information and direction between major decision levels. Lastly future inventories must link to the past, provide a basis for monitoring plan implementation, and provide information on changes and trends. Multipurpose resource inventories (MRIs) help meet our needs. MRIs are data collection efforts designed to meet the two or more needs. Integrated, coordinated and multiple resource inventories are forms of multipurpose inventories. Such inventories help meet the new information requirements. Fundamental to the successful development and implementation of MRIs are information needs assessments, cooperation and coordination, standardization, objectivity, and control. http://books.elsevier.com/efs

2003. Penman, Jim et al . (eds.). Definitions and methodological options to inventory emissions from direct human-induced degradation of forests and devegetation of other vegetation types
32 p. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. IPCC-XXI/Doc. 8. Kanagawa, Japan: IPCC Secretariat. Incumbent developed background work on various definitions of degradation and devegetation and was a lead author for this report.
Abstract: This report on is the response from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to an invitation from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The report was prepared in cooperation with the preparation of the other report under the IPCC National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme (IPCC-NGGIP), on Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry ( GPG-LULUCF ). The report discusses: alternative definitions and provides possible framework definitions for countries to consider, methodological options to inventory emissions from degradation and devegetation activities, approaches to reporting and documentation, and implications of methodological and definitional options for accounting under the provisions of Article 3.4 of the Kyoto Protocol (including issues of scale, costs and accuracy). Guidance on possible methodologies for estimation of greenhouse gas emissions or removals provided in this report draws substantively on the GPG-LULUCF. http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/gpglulucf/degradation.htm

2002. Owens, John N.; Lund, H. Gyde. Forest and Forest Plants
Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), EOLSS Publishers, Oxford, UK, and.
Abstract: Only over the later part of the twentieth century has the role of forests in the global environment become appreciated fully. Forests are crucial to the conservation of soil and to the provision of clean water. They are the richest reservoir of terrestrial biodiversity. They link the land and the atmosphere and so affect global climate. They are also an important economic resource, providing food, forage, firewood, medicines, recreational activities, water catchment protection and consumables such as paper and building timber. This chapter covers the forest resource base, the kinds, extent, and management of forests, important tree species, the goods and services that trees and forests provide, and tree and forest improvement and forest regeneration. Contributions have come from many countries of the world, tropical and temperate, developing and industrialized. http://www.eolss.net/E5-03-toc.aspx http://www.eolss.net

2002. Lund, H. Gyde. When is a forest not a forest?
Journal of Forestry 100(8): 21-27. Peer reviewed.
Abstract: Numerous published and legitimate definitions of forest exist. Most can be grouped into three categories – those that describe administrative units, those that describe land cover, and those that mean a type of land use – and then there are some miscellaneous types. Definitions vary widely from country to country and even among US federal agencies, sometimes with legal ramifications. Agreement on the meaning of such terms as forest and forestland is a logical first step in reaching agreement on natural resource problems. Threshold values – minimum area, strip width, canopy cover, and tree height – are especially important for identifying classes of land. http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/saf/jof/2002/00000100/00000008/art00007

2002. Lund, H. Gyde. National forest inventories and global resource assessments
Forest and Forest Plants, Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), EOLSS Publishers, Oxford, UK. And.
Abstract: Forest resources are essential for humankind. They provide food, fuel, shelter, soil and water protection, and filter the air that is breahted. With increasing human populations, there is demand for increasing forests and the goods and services they produce. Concerns for the environment and the need for economic development led to the Earth Summit or United Nations Convention on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992. This, in turn, led to the various international conventions and agreements calling for global information on the world’s forest resources. National inventories and global resource assessments provide basic data for the developing sustainable management plans. Global forest data are derived from forest resource assessments conducted by the United Nations and assessments of forest cover, generally produced by national and international space agencies. These two assessments compliment each other. The former is best suited for providing data on forestland use and production. The latter provides data on the extent and changes of forest cover. Neither, however, provides all the data identified as being necessary at the Earth Summit. To meet these needs, integrated resource inventories and assessments may be required. http://greenplanet.eolss.net/EolssLogn/ViewChapter.aspx?CategoryId=10 http://www.eolss.net/E5-03-toc.aspx

IUFRO Secretariat, Seckendorff-Gudent-Weg 8, A-1131 Vienna, Austria. 23-44.
Abstract: Recently there have been a large number of international agreements, conventions and protocols dealing with forest and forestry – especially since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992. Politicians and high-level government officials, eager to do the right thing regarding the environment endorsed documents such as the Forestry Principles, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) including the recent Kyoto Protocol, the Convention on Biological Diversity (COB), and the Convention on Desertification. Successful accomplishment of these agreements requires a common understanding globally and implementation nationally. However, these agreements often contain terms that are not clearly defined or accepted at all levels. It could be that the endorsers either believed that they were commonly understood or they purposefully left the definitions and interpretations up to the implementing bodies. http://www.iufro.org/download/file/552/387/op14.pdf

2001. Lund, H. Gyde. Agroforestry
El-Shaarawi, Abdel H.; Piegorsch, Walter W. (eds.) Encyclopedia of Environmetrics Volume 1, (ISBN 0471 899976): 44–46. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester.
Abstract: Agroforestry is a collective name for land-use systems and practices for the deliberate growing of trees and crops on the same piece of land. Agroforestry provides added income for the farmer and environmental protection of the lands. We have good methods for inventorying forests and surveying crops but when the two are combined problems may arise. One problem is timing - one can measure trees in any season, while crops must be measured while they are growing. Another problem is responsibility - who measures what may not be clear. Trees may not be accounted for during agricultural surveys and crops under trees may not be inventoried in a forest inventory. As a result, the accounting of the tree and crop resources may be incomplete. Multipurpose inventories offer a solution. http://www.wiley.com/legacy/wileychi/eoenv/Home.html

Alboreca, Alberto Rojo et al. Tomo I. Actas delCongreso de Ordenación y Gestión Sostenible de Montes. Santiago de Compostela, Spain. 4-9 October 1999.67-79. 14 p. Invited Paper.
Abstract: Sustainable forest management requires more than just looking at and managing trees. We have to look at trees in relation to other forest functions, how forests relate to other sectors and how the major sectors (forestry and agriculture) relate to one another not only at the national level, but also at the global scale. To maintain sustainable forests over the long run, we need more complete inventories of all our stocks at hand, to make better use of existing resources, and manage our population growth.

Watson, Robert T. et al. Ed. Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry - A Special Report for the IPCC. Cambridge Press; 127-180. Incumbent was a contributing author to the chapter.
Abstract: This chapter focuses on Article 3.3 of the Kyoto Protocol. This article identifies direct human-induced (DH) land -use change and forestry activities for which Annex I Parties must account greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by sources and removals by afforestation, reforestation, and deforestation (ARD). The implementation of Article 3.3 requires definitions for several terms and decisions on carbon accounting rules. Chapter 3 builds upon the general concepts introduced in Chapter 2, identifies issues, describes various options to address these issues, and summarizes the implications of the options. http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc/land_use/112.htm

Forest Ecology and Management 128(1-2): 3-10.
Abstract: Agricultural lands are essential for providing food and forage for maintaining a healthy environment. Growing human populations are placing increasing demands for new lands for agriculture production. At the same time there is a need to maintain or increase our forest cover for biodiversity and carbon sequestration. Unfortunately our land base is limited. Consequently, there is strong competition between what lands will be used for forestry and what will be used for agriculture. Current assessments of agriculture and forested lands are often carried out by separate entities. Often there is duplication of data collection, information gaps, etc. The bottom line is that we do not really know how much land currently serves the needs of agriculture and forestry, which lands are best suited for conversion to the alternate use, and where they are located. In order for decision-makers to make more informed decisions, we need complete and up-to-date geo-referenced inventories. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the problems of separate resource inventories and to present ways to overcome these problems by integrated assessments.

Temu, A.B. et al. Ed. Proceedings Off-forest Tree Resources of Africa. Arusha, Tanzania, 12-16 July. Nairobi, Kenya: The African Academy of Sciences. 1-21. Invited keynote paper.
Abstract: The tree off-forest (TOF) resource is gaining in importance locally, nationally, and globally. Unfortunately, data on TOF in Africa is very weak. In all likelihood, TOF inventories will have to be done with ongoing forest or agricultural surveys to be economically justified. Seek partnerships to help defray costs. In most areas, a systematic sample is the simplest inventory design to implement. If type maps or remote sensing are available, some efficiencies could be gained by using multiphase sampling. Fixed-area, permanent plots are recommended for measuring growth and predicting trends. Plant species, height, crown diameter, and stem diameter are most frequently used to develop biomass equations.

1999. Lund, H. Gyde. A 'forest' by any other name…
Environmental Science and Policy 2(2):125-133. Invited paper. Peer reviewed.
Abstract: The Kyoto protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change asks countries to report and provide data on human-induced land use change and forestry activities limited to afforestation, reforestation and deforestation. The terms 'afforestation, reforestation and deforestation' have different meanings - country-to-country and from practicing foresters to the general public. The USDA Forest Service and the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations' Working Unit 6.03.02 on Trends in Forest Terminology commissioned a study to be undertaken to gain a better understanding of the terms in use. This study concentrates on the terms deforestation, afforestation and reforestation, but it also examined related terms of land use, land cover, forest, tree, regeneration and degradation. The paper reports on the results of that study and makes some general recommendations for consideration by the Conference of the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for standardization of key terms. © 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Fort Collins, Colorado: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service; Rocky Mountain Research Station. 393-369 Invited paper.
Abstract: There is an old adage, we can't see the forest for the trees - meaning that we often get too wrapped- up in details to see the overall picture. In our forest inventories, we often spend too much effort measuring trees and not enough time trying to get an overall view of the total resources and functions of the forests. Similarly, we often spend a lot of time measuring, monitoring and reporting on the status forests. Yet, in spite of all our forest monitoring efforts, we find that we are constantly loosing forest lands. This may be because we fail to look at the forests in relation to human needs and in relation to the Earth's other land resources. We can't see the Earth for the forests! This paper explores some of the technical and political problems with current forest inventory and monitoring methods at the national and global level and presents some politically and scientifically-correct recommendations for solving them.

1998. Lund, H. Gyde. A comparison study of multipurpose resource inventories (MRIs) throughout the world
Working Paper No. 14. Joensuu, Finland: European Forest Institute. 46 p. Peer reviewed.
Abstract: Since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, resource information needs at the national level have increased dramatically. However, data collection is expensive and time consuming. To reduce costs and to improve efficiency, many countries are now developing multipurpose resource inventories. In 1997, IUFRO 4.02 conducted a worldwide survey of Ministries of Forestry and inventory specialists and a literature review to determine who is using multipurpose resource inventories and for what purposes. This working paper presents the results of that survey. http://www.efi.joensuu.fi/publications/ http://www.efi.joensuu.fi/publications/Working_Papers/

1998. Lund, H. Gyde. ed. IUFRO Guidelines for Designing Multipurpose Resource Inventories
IUFRO World Service Vol. 8. Vienna, Austria: International Union of Forestry Research Organizations. 216 p. Peer reviewed.
Abstract: Diverse and often conflicting demands upon land and natural resources around the world require that decision makers cater for a wide range of potential human interests within any given area such as agriculture, biomass production, biodiversity, recreation, and urban expansion. This means that administrators have to look at the land and its resources for a variety of potential uses. To increase the benefits of data collected and to minimize expenditures, inventory specialists are turning more and more to multipurpose or integrated resource inventories. This is particularly true at the broader decision-making scales - provincial, national, regional and global. These guidelines provide basic information on Multipurpose Resource Inventories (MRI) for the inventory planner and the decision maker at the provincial or national level although the instructions are useful at the local level as well. The guidelines are based upon the worldwide survey mentioned above, a literature review and the personal experiences of nearly 60 contributing co-authors. We discuss the need for MRIs, the information requirements, support structure, and the design and implementation issues in depth. http://iufro.boku.ac.at/iufro/publications/ws8.htm

Abstract: Many biodiversity inventories are conducted in relatively small areas, yet information is needed at the national, regional, and global levels. Most nations have forest inventory plot networks. While forest inventories may not contain the detailed species information that biodiversity inventories do, the forest inventory plot networks do represent large areas. Linkages can be developed among plot networks and extrapolated through remote sensing. A first step is to locate resource inventory and remote sensing information. A second step is to obtain and make use of information. This may require the formation of linkages and partnerships among data sets and data collectors. http://www.srs.fs.usda.gov/pubs/viewpub.jsp?index=1212 Forest Biodiversity Research Monitoring and Modeling: Conceptual Background and Old World Case Studies

Abstract: Non-wood forest resources (NWFR) are growing in importance. There are a seemingly infinite number of potential products available from the minerals and various life forms on our forested lands. The interior, exterior, "products", or functions of organisms, such as plants and animals, may provide useful goods or services. We can develop any of these resources as long as there is a market. However, one can develop a resource to the extent that it loses its ‘forest’ identity. How far to push development depends on the landowner, the decision-maker, and the laws. Regardless, four types of studies are needed to develop NWFR: biodiversity inventories, cultural studies, product, users and market surveys, and resource inventories. What to inventory will depend on the specific needs of the individual decision-maker. However, we do recommend the use of multipurpose resource or ecological inventories to keep data collection costs down and when the ultimate use of the resources is unknown.

Abstract: In spite of occupying nearly one third of the Earth's land surface, little is known about the arid lands. Even less is known about the tropical dry and the gallery (riverine or riparian) forests. Resource inventories are needed. Basic questions to answer in developing an inventory and monitoring system are who wants to know what, why, when and where. The characteristics of the tropical dry and gallery forests differ in landscape features, access, and vegetation structure. Because of these differences separate or stratified inventory and monitoring systems may be required. General recommendations and considerations for developing inventories of these lands are presented.

Nairobi, Kenya: United Nations Environment Programme. 264 p. The Incumbent was a contributor to the text on North America.
Abstract: This groundbreaking report presents information on the state of the global environment. It indicates that world-wide, profound changes continue to occur in social, institutional and economic systems. It re-ports on the continued impoverishment of large parts of the global population. It points to the increased disparities both within and between nations. It de-scribes the environmental implications of rapid glo-balization, particularly through developments in information technology, transport and trade regimes. It shows us that significant progress has been made in confronting environmental challenges at the local, national, and regional level. In the end, though, GEO-I concludes that, during the past decade, the environment has continued to degrade and significant problems still persist. http://www.unep.org/geo/geo1/index.htm

Abstract: There are possibly an infinite number of potential products available from the life forms on our forested lands. The `products,' or functions of organisms, such as plants and animals, may provide useful goods or services for human needs. Methods to identify use include observation, inquiries, reading and research. Assessment and monitoring techniques depend on the life form being studied, its abundance, habitat, and whether it is domesticated or not. Where specific commodities have not been identified, using multiple resource inventories is recommended. http://www.fao.org/documents/show_cdr.asp?url_file=/docrep/W3735e/w3735e09.htm

Abstract: The theme of this conference is "Resource inventory techniques to support agroforestry and environment activities." This particular panel is to discuss diagnostics and designs for resource inventory techniques. Meaningful inventories depend on our abilities to identify the who, what, where, when, why and how questions associated with the resources and data collection. This paper presents some key points to consider for each step as they relate to agroforestry at the local (farmer or community) and national levels.

Abstract: The output from a geographic information system (GIS) can be no better than the input. Data sources include resource inventories, maps, and remote sensing. If data sources are to be entered into a GIS, then they must be designed with that use in mind. Considerations for the data collection efforts include appropriateness of the sampling designs, sampling and non-sampling errors, objectivity and quality control of measurements, and methods used for geo-registering field plots and map lines. Using an analogy of the steps needed to make bread in a bread-making machine, the authors present an overview of geographic information and recommendations for data collection.

Abstract: The extent, composition, structure, production, and condition define important aspects of vegetation diversity. New remote sensing and geo-positioning tools can help us measure and monitor these attributes. Multi-spectral scanners, airborne videography, small-format digital cameras, synthetic aperture radar, laser profilers, and global positioning systems (GPS) are some tools now available. We discuss the uses and limitations of these instruments.

Abstract: This article examines the inventorying and monitoring needs resulting from the agreements reached at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held 3-14 June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The documents reviewed include: the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, A Programme of Action for Sustainable Development for Now Into the Twenty-first Century, Non-Locally Binding Authoritative Statement of Principles For a Global Consensus on the Management, the Conservation and Sustainable Development of all Types of Forests, the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In addition, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in Those Countries Experiencing Serious Drought and/or Desertification, Particularly in Africa resulted as an outcome of UNCED. The requirements in these documents should influence how we design our national inventory programs.

Abstract: In response to a request from the Government of Sudan the U.S. Agency for International Development assisted the Sudan Forests National Corporation with the design of a project to re-establish Gum Arabic ( Acacia senegal ) in areas of Kordofan. Because this area of the Gum Belt was greatly affected by the drought of 1984 an assessment of the present state of the vegetation was required. With assistance from U.S. Geological Survey and U.S.D.A Forest Service the Sudan Forests National Corporation prepared a map of the woody vegetation resources of the region. In addition, a database was created to manage the data gathered in the field by the forestry teams. This data base was linked to a mapping program to give a simple GIS. Subsequent data processing using ARC/INFO created a series of maps of potential land use and provided a data base for planners to develop tree planting strategies. A second component gathered data for socioeconomic studies of the region. Studies relating these data to the forest data were also designed. The planned use of data from both physical and socioeconomic studies was defeated by the closure of the project following the abrupt change in government in June 1989. Examples of the maps produced, data collected and overall planning and methodology used are presented. The Sudan Forests National Corporation has adopted this methodology for its on-going work in the Gum Belt.

Abstract: By definition, catastrophes involving natural resources are unavoidable. There are, however, actions one can take to reduce the impact and to shorten the time span for recovery. Knowing when, where and what type of catastrophes are likely to occur helps one to be prepared. Having a continuous inventory program will assist in the assessment of the impacts. There are other activities that nations can undertake to strengthen their inventory and monitoring capabilities. Suggestions include maintaining an archive of remote sensing coverage, developing and maintaining a permanent plot network, keeping aware of advanced technologies such as airborne videography, global positioning systems, etc. http://ces.iisc.ernet.in/hpg/envis/proceed/lund.txt.html

Abstract: Global assessments and monitoring are essential if we wish to be able to manage our human destiny. Periodic worldwide estimates of forest resources are the responsibility of the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). Other groups are also making regional estimates of forest cover. Techniques used include aggregation of national data and individual efforts. Results of either process are currently inadequate. Problems with both techniques are presented. Solutions include multiple-resource inventories, covering all lands and performed to international standards and guidelines.

Abstract: The U.S.D.A. Forest Service administers some 191 million acres (77.3 million hectares) of its National Forest System lands. National Forests and Grasslands are managed for the production of wood, water, minerals, wildlife, recreation, and forage resources. In 1990, for the timber resource alone, we harvested 9.3 billion board feet (21.9 million cubic meters) of wood products from these lands on a sustained yield basis. This harvest returned about $850 million dollars (116.5 billion yen) to the U.S. Treasury. We are also a large and very decentralized agency. Management of timber and other resource information and integrating it into a corporate database is indeed a challenge. This paper discusses the Forest Service mission, where we came from in our information management strategy, where we are now, and where we are headed. The experiences we gained, the processes we used, and the lessons we learned will benefit other large forest management organizations.

Abstract: The Forest Survey Program in the United States began in 1928. Today it is one of the longest continuously chartered research activities in the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Program, composed of six regional divisions, is administered by Forest Service Research Stations, four in the Eastern United States and two in the West. Initially, the Program was designed to monitor the "timber budget of the United States." With the passage of time and the heightening of environmental awareness, the Program's charter has expanded to consider all forest resources, including wildlife habitat, watershed quality, and recreation. The sampling designs have essentially followed the development of sampling theory. The first inventories were based on line-plot cruises. Inventory designs progressed through fixed-area samples to "Bitterlich" plots. Other designs, such as sampling with probability proportional to prediction (3P) and sampling with partial replacement (SPR), have also been employed. Most recently, the Program has assumed leadership in Forest Health Monitoring--a major new initiative. Data collection methods have changed with the expanding mandates, from simple, volume-oriented measurements of trees to complex assessments of photosynthetically active radiation or of microbial activity. With the monitoring of additional resources, such as watershed, range, and recreation, and the added responsibility of Forest Health Monitoring, Forest Survey will become a high-tech operation using computerized Geographic Information Systems, airborne high-resolution video, and satellite imagery such as the Landsat Thematic Mapper and the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. http://fia.fs.fed.us/history/documents/1992Vanhooser.doc

Abstract: The development of remote sensing and information systems offers good possibilities to make Forest Inventory and Monitoring (FIM) much more effective than it is now. Relevant databases should be built according to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) principles. Two-phase sampling with the first phase units defined by geographic coordinates is illustrated as a case method. The role of international cooperation, standardization of measurements and terminology and permanent sample plots is emphasized.

Abstract: The Earth's forest resources provide vital food, fuel, and fiber for an increasing world populations. Forests are both carbon sources and carbon sinks. They serve as filters for the air we breathe and water we drink. Forests provide critical habitat for diverse flora and fauna that may prove vital for human survival in the future. Lastly, forests are places of refuge, recreation, worship, and strength for the inner body. Unfortunately, global forest resources are dwindling at unprecedented rates in the tropics and losing diversity and productivity in the temperate zone. To get estimates of planetary carrying capacity and change, several groups, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, are making multi-country estimates. Some efforts are independent of one another and uncoordinated. The results are gaps in knowledge in some areas and duplication in others. International organizations and cooperating nations need to be working towards a common global monitoring goal - that is to provide a complete picture of the status and trend of the world's forest resources. IUFRO is developing guides to help coordinate global monitoring activities.

SELPER 8(2):40-44. Contributed paper.
Abstract: There are many forest inventory and monitoring activities going on at the local, national, regional and global level. Many of these are duplicative, uncoordinated and some are of questionable quality. Consequently, we waste valuable funds and the results are not as useful as they could be. At the endorsement of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the International Union of Forestry Research organizations (IUFRO) is developing a set of guidelines for encouraging national involvement in regional and global monitoring activities. The guides include directions for establishing a network of permanent plots, using common remote sensing approaches, and following accurate and sensitive reporting. This paper reports on the background behind the guides and the progress to date.

Poso, Simo, ed. Proceedings - Ilvessalo Symposium on National forest inventories. 17-21 August 1992; Helsinki, Finland. Helsinki, Finland: University of Helsinki; 16-24. Invited paper.
Abstract: National forest inventories are data collection efforts designed to report on the extent, state, and condition of the forest resources of a given country. Few national inventories result from a single sample. Most are aggregations of several different efforts. There are some nation-wide estimates of forest cover resulting from wall-to-wall, aerial photography or satellite-based remote sensing especially in the tropics. The methods and roles of inventories have changed over time and will continue to do so in the future. Our information needs are increasing to the point that we now need to be designing holistic, multiple resource inventories. These inventories must also meet- global needs as well as national and local needs.

Abstract: The theme of this conference is Integrated Forest Management Systems . Working groups within IUFRO S 4.02 (Forest Resource Inventory and Monitoring) and IUFRO S 4.04 (Forest Management Planning and Managerial Economics) are the sponsors. It is appropriate, therefore, that a paper address integrated data collection systems at this important meeting. The management of forest and agricultural lands and their associated resources is becoming more complex. Administrators must provide increasing goods and services to meet a growing populations needs. Yet administrators must manage the land and its resources on a sustained level without degrading the environment. There are conflicting ideas on how administrators should manage the lands to meet society's needs. Arbitrary decisions can have far-reaching social, economic, and environmental effects. Today's resource managers need more complete information about the fragile lands and limited resources they control. Instead of just measuring timber on forest lands, we should be promoting the use of multiple-resource inventories across all lands. Lastly, mangers should use the latest technology to provide the most up-to-date information. This paper explores the principles and challenges of such integrated inventory concepts.

Abstract: Successful global assessments and monitoring of natural resources requires teamwork between participating nations and the international communities charged with the responsibility for collecting and disseminating information. In an attempt to identify emerging information needs and to promote coordination, the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO) and other national and international groups held a major conference and workshop in Venice, Italy, on global monitoring last September. The results of the meeting and subsequent events in Montreal indicated a need for more aggressive leadership at the international level and more cooperation at the national level. This paper reports on the outcome of the Venice conference and list some things that the international community and the United States must do to make global assessments and monitoring a reality.

Abstract: Forest resources or products are those materials that may be extracted from lands predominately covered by trees. What has been considered the primary use of the forest has changed over time. The outlook for the future sees the emergence of more emphasis on the environmental and social functions a public forest serves over the current commodity use that predominates in many parts of the world today. Foresters' knowledge of the fiber commodity aspects, both nationally and globally, is generally adequate when compared to other disciplines. However, the knowledge and research of the environmental and social functions of the forest must be strengthened for all portions of the world - temperate and tropical, developed and developing.

For. Ecol. Manage. 33/34:559-570. Invited paper. Peer reviewed.
Abstract: The development and implementation of inventory techniques are cyclic. For a long while, our inventory procedures in the USDA Forest Service have been rather stable. Now, given new information requirements and an onslaught of new technology, our needs, capabilities, and methodologies are rapidly changing. This paper reviews past ('ebb tides') and emerging techniques ('flash floods'). It also lists some of the problems ('whirlpools') we will encounter in implementing the changes. While the paper addresses resource inventories within the USDA Forest Service, the potential and problems are applicable to the inventory of any ecosystem including the forested wetlands. Lastly, some thoughts for follow-up global actions are presented.

Abstract: Platonic verses are writings that tend toward purely spiritual or ideal situations such as those found in the Bible and other sacred writings or in some of our natural resource management laws and national direction. Inventory objectives are summary statements of the desired end results of surveys of goods and materials in stock. The process of converting information requests to inventory objectives is discussed and personal thoughts on additional inventory objectives, use of existing information, subjective sampling, moving plot locations, and use of allowable sampling errors are given.

Abstract: Periodic information is required for all land, soil, timber, forage, water, air, fish and wildlife, aesthetics, recreation, wilderness, and energy and mineral resources on all forest and rangelands in the United States for developing the Resources Planning Act (RPA) assessment, program, and subsequent Regional guides and National Forest plans. Resource inventories provide much of the required information. The purpose of this handbook is to identify the inventory-derived information that may be needed for the 1999 Resources Planning Act assessment and National Forest planning, and to provide guidance to ensure that inventories of land, soil, timber, forage, water, air, fish and wildlife, aesthetics, recreation, wilderness, and energy and mineral resources are conducted in an effective way. Coordinated or integrated resource inventories provide efficient, compatible, and valid data and information that describe the resources and their conditions, potential, and trends. Information from the inventories may provide input to the Resources Planning Act (RPA) national assessment, National Forest plans, comprehensive State-wide forest plan assessments, and may be used for project planning where such data are appropriate. Coordinated or integrated resource inventories promote data sharing among resource managers and decision makers. http://www.fs.fed.us/cgi-bin/Directives/get_directives/fsh?1909.14

Abstract: Successful global monitoring will depend on input from cooperating nations. Resource specialists need to know of information needs far enough in advance of data collection to design effective inventory and monitoring systems. Current global needs are not reaching the inventory specialists. As a result, some global assessments contain inaccurate information or lack data altogether. A holistic approach is needed that unites data collectors with the global users. This approach should include integrated inventories. This conference and workshop will help build the linkages for such integration. American Society for Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry

Abstract: Sudan is the largest country in Africa being equivalent in area to the States of Alaska, Texas, and Nevada combined. Deforestation, devegetation, and desertification are major problems in the country. Baseline information for rehabilitation is lacking. The latest topographic maps date back to the 1890's for much of the area and resource inventories are non-existent. In the fall of 1989, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in cooperation with the Government of Sudan initiated the Sudan Reforestation and Anti-Desertification (SRAAD) Project to establish base line resource information. Working with the Sudan Forests National Corporation and the Survey Department, specialists from the USDA Forest Service and the U.S. Geological Survey through the Agency for International Development were called in on a rush basis to develop demonstration products and procedural guidance for mapping and inventorying the Nation's land and resource base. Landsat-based image maps, vegetation maps and surveys, and socio-ethno-economic studies were initiated and completed in less than 3 months time for a pilot area. The obstacles faced, techniques used, products produced and their potential use for watershed management planning in similar countries are described.

Abstract: The USDA Forest Service administers the renewable resources on nearly 772,000 square kilometers of land. The extent, variety, and value of the resources that it administers is comparable to that found in many tropical countries. Recent legislation and reduced budgets require that the agency change its inventory policies. This paper outlines the strategy we are using to develop and obtain support for a new inventory handbook and gives some suggestions on actions individuals can take to help bring about needed changes.

Abstract: Changes in inventory techniques, definitions, and standards over time are inevitable due to new emerging information needs and improving technologies. Unfortunately, adopting new ideas can lead to complications. This paper examines some cases where changes in Methodologies and standards created more problems than they solved. Principles for avoiding such problems are presented.

Abstract: The availability of natural resources dictates information needs and the development of data collection techniques to fulfill those needs. If supplies of raw material are abundant, minimum information is sought and technology makes little progress. When resources become scarce, the need for inventories increases and technology expands. Similar to their development in Mexico, forest and rangeland inventories in the United States evolved to the state they are in today, as resource supplies became scarce and the competition for land increased. This report traces tile technological, methodological, and informational changes in the U.S. given this background. Predictions are made as to what our needs and capabilities will be in the near future.

Abstract: Change is nothing more than movement of an object over time. Our ability to successfully detect and measure change depends on: the kind of information sought; our knowledge of movement that should take place; the selection of techniques to sense or measure the movement; a stationary base against which movement will be sought; remeasurement procedures; and follow-up analysis. Errors or modifications in any of these factors in successive observations limit our opportunities for successful monitoring.

Abstract: The BLM is currently developing am information database through its Strategic Plan to be used throughout the Bureau. Data definitions, coding input and output formats are being standardized. The 150 million of acres of forested lands that the OLM administers varies from relatively low-valued pinyon-juniper stands of the southwest and spruce types of Alaska to the prime Douglas-fir areas of western Oregon. Our planning system requires that we provide data for each and every stand regardless of its value. This paper describes how we are going about meeting the objectives of the Strategic Plan and the requirements of the planning system while taking Into account the value of the forest being inventoried. Maximum data collection flexibility is provided while maintaining rigid input formats. Stand data based upon photo interpretation, ocular estimates or detailed tree measurements may be entered Into the system through a series of standardized required and optional forms. http://environment.yale.edu/gregoire/downloads/RIN/RIN_No21_1979.pdf

Abstract: In a trial study in Colorado, the Bureau of Land Management successfully incorporated a combination wildlife, range, and watershed survey into its extensive forest inventory program. Photo points, interpreted during the forest inventory, were re-stratified on wildlife and range criteria. These points were sub-sampled with field plots and estimates of herbage production, ground cover types, erosion condition classes, and deer-days use were obtained. Area statistics were generated, and field prediction equations were developed. The cost of this multiple resource inventory system was comparable to the cost of other survey methods currently being used by the Bureau.

Abstract: The Bureau of Land Management is currently using a Double Sampling scheme in its extensive forest inventories of the national resource lands. The first sample comes from photo interpretation. Photo points are permanently marked on the photos and USGS quad maps. The interpreted information is stored on magnetic tape along with the universal transverse mercator coordinates of each point. Heretofore the only use we have made of the photo file is to provide a sampling frame for field observations (approximately one out of every 10 photo points becomes a field plot). This paper describes the regression procedures we are investigating to relate field information back to the photo file. Among the items we are trying to predict for every photo point are: site index, yield capability, stand age, average diameter (d.b.h.), basal area/acre, number of trees/acre, percent stocking, gross cubic foot volume/acre, gross Scribner volume/acre, and gross International 1/8 volume/acre. Should we prove successful, we will be able to provide our field units with more in place data than normally obtained through an extensive inventory. We also hope to extend these procedures for use with other resource inventory, such as Range, Watershed and Wildlife.

Abstract: Information on the kind, quantity, arrangement, and location of fuels is prerequisite to planning and executing effective, scientific forest fire protection. Height and perhaps other characteristics of understory vegetation can be measured with acceptable accuracy on 1:8,000, natural-color, aerial photography. Feasibility of mapping fuel types on aerial photos is being tested. Photography from earth-orbital satellites may be suitable for small-scale mapping of major fuel categories. Varied research is needed to determine the best means of gathering fuel intelligence for various purposes and in diverse situations.

Fort Collins, CO: USDA, Forest Service, Inventory and Monitoring Institute. 72 p. (Draft) . incumbent provided many of the historical photos and sources and helped write the sections dealing with national leadership and activities in the international arena.
Abstract: This presents a history of Forest Survey (Forest Inventory) in the United States as it evolved within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service over a period of more than 100 years. It draws upon the writings of several authors, who over the years, have published on various aspects of the Forest Survey program. There is a review of nine ground plot designs used in the Forest Survey and Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) programs since 1931. The report also highlights the major events contributing to the current FIA, beginning as far back as 1830. It is impressive to look at the many contributions of various people working with the Nation’s Forest Survey program, as well as the various methodologies that have contributed to understanding and updating the national Forest Survey statistics. It is especially timely that this historical report should occur at the time the Forest Service is celebrating the anniversary of its 100 years of service to the American people. http://www.fs.fed.us/institute/History_ForestSurvey_06_0306pw.pdf

Abstract: Integration is the act of combining or coordinating separate elements so as to provide a harmonious, Interrelated whole. Integrated inventories are data collection efforts combined or coordinated to share data and to improve information flows between functions, sister units, parent units, and over time. This paper addresses all of these forms of integration as used within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. A review of the needs, current direction, problems, and future of integrated inventories are presented.

Abstract: This is a modification of the Interim Resource Inventory Glossary was prepared by the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, Washington Office Resource Inventory Coordination Task Group established by the Deputy Chiefs for National Forest System and Research in 1984. It covers terms needed for the management of the timber, wildlife and fisheries, recreation, rangeland, water, soil, land, and mineral resources of the National Forest System Lands. Most of the definitions, measurement rules, and standards presented in this report were taken from existing U.S.D.A. Forest Service Regional or Station direction. The variables have been standardized using the least restrictive rules or definitions. By using these standards, definitions, and rules, data and information can be readily shared across resource functions within the agency. The Glossary was officially issued and distributed for general agency use on June 30,1989. In addition to terms and definitions, the parent document also contains codes, measurement standards and references unique to the USDA Forest Service not found herein. http://forestry.miningco.com/blforgls.htm http://socrates.lv-hrc.nevada.edu/fia/imb/Glossary/1989%20interim.rtf

[Online report]. Gainesville, VA: Forest Information Services. Misc. pagination.
Abstract: The Third Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) held 1-11 December 1997 in Kyoto, Japan calls for, among other things, the reporting on emission sinks resulting "from direct human-induced land use change and forestry activities, limited to afforestation, reforestation and deforestation since 1990." The FCCC Secretariat called for clarification of the use of these terms as they are used in various parts of the world [see: http://www.unfccc.de, Official Documents, Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) Document FCCC/SBSTA/1998/INF.1]. We initially developed this paper at the request of Dr. H. Fred Kaiser, USDA Forest Service. It has since been updated to incorporate input from the IUFRO Working Unit 6.03.02 Discussion Group on Reforestation, Afforestation, and Deforestation (RAD) and summarized for presentation at the UNFCCC's SBSTA workshop in Rome on 24 and 25 September 1998. This paper lists various definitions that have been used or are in use for deforestation, afforestation, and reforestation. To have a clear understanding of these terms we also need to definitions of tree, forest, degradation and other terms. The definitions we present were derived from a search via the Internet, from individual input and from Prëller (1996). We list the sources used and additional contacts at the end of this paper. We also present a short discussion and comparison at the end of each set of definitions.

2006. Lund, H. Gyde. Forest – Now you see it. Now you don’t!
Gainesville, VA: Forest Information Services. 18 p. Abstract: The extent and condition of the world’s forests are a major concern environmentally, economically, socially, and ecologically. Accounting for the global forest resources requires standardized or harmonized accounting of national resources. However, what one considers a forest varies with background and need - making global estimates of forest area challenging. While international definitions can be developed, the application is often in the eyes of the beholder. This paper presents the results of series of informal studies given to test people’s concepts of what is a forest.

Abstract: There are three activities that nations should undertake to help meet the agreements in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CDB). The first is to develop a list of known species or species present. The second is to prioritize areas for conservation and preservation and the last is to manage the biological resources on a sustainable basis. Data for these activities may already exist or may have to come from special surveys and resource inventories. Ideally one would know every species that is found in a given country, how it may be used, how much of it there is, where it is located, and how to protect it yet manage it on a sustainable basis. Unfortunately, the situation is far from ideal and gathering new information is costly and time-consuming as well as being technologically challenging. As shown in Groombridge and Jenkins (1996) and in this report, there are a variety of methods in use to meet the needs of the Convention on Biological Diversity. Unfortunately, no one method will be applicable to all countries. Options will vary by information required, skills, assets and technology available and the resources themselves. All methods make some attempt to enumerate or identify species in a given area. Some methods take an additional step to stratifying the area for conservation and preservation and/or for further sampling. Fewer take the process the full step to provide quantitative data for resource management.

2000. Lund, H. Gyde. Information and inventories to support sustainable forest management
Invited paper presented at Encuentro Internacional sobre Explotaciones Forestales y Empresas Industriales. 15 December 2000. Soria, Spain. Manassas, VA: Forest Information Services. 18 p.
Abstract: Spain's forest resources offer a potential for further development, not only for the timber resource but also for other goods and services. Fresh and innovative resource inventories are needed to meet new information needs and replace outdated information. Collecting data is costly, but efficiencies can be gained through regional cooperation and coordination. This paper covers some of the kinds of data that should be gathered in order to estimate current product volumes and future growth rates and yields both for industry and government for sustainable forest management. The paper addresses issues of the technologies that can be used for forest inventory data gathering (satellite imagery, photography, sampling) and the reliabilities and costs of the various alternatives when they are used for large-scale, regional forest inventories that would be applicable to industrial decision-making. Lastly, it covers what might be gained from policies that encouraged coordinated or integrated data gathering and record keeping.

The World's Natural Forests and their Role in Global Processes. Khabarovsk, Russia, 15-20 August 1999. Invited paper 17 p.
Abstract: Having a common understanding of what constitutes a "forest" and its derivatives (such as old growth, pristine, native, secondary forest, etc.) is fundamental for a discussion of assessment methods, ecosystem status, and sustainability. However, a recent study conducted by the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations' (IUFRO) Working Unit 6.03.02 shows that there is considerable variation nationally and globally in the definition and use of these terms. This paper reports on the findings of that study. It examines the range of definitions and descriptors in use, some of the misinterpretations they may cause and makes some recommendations for developing a common understanding of terms.

1999. Lund, H. Gyde. Definition of Low Forest Cover (LFC)
Report prepared for IUFRO. Manassas, VA: Forest Information Services. 22 p.
Abstract: The Intergovernmental Forum on Forests (IFF) identified countries of Low Forest Cover (LFC) as being of special concern. Unfortunately, LFC was not defined. The International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO) requested that its members to undertake a short term study to develop a definition of LFC. This paper covers some of the problems involved with developing a definition and offers four different options. An eigenvalue analysis indicates that the classifications of countries based upon a combination of variables (area of Forest and Other Wooded Lands, Original Forest Land, and Population) is a good first attempt. http://forestinfoservices.com/docs/LFCreport.html

1998. Lund, H. Gyde. Seeing the trees, forests, and the Earth
Invited paper – was to be presented at the IX Simposio Brasileiro de Sensoriamento Remoto. 11-18 September 1998. Santos, SP, Brazil. (Note, I neglected to get a visa – found out I needed one when I was trying to board the plane for Brazil – so I did not present the paper – dumb, dumb, dumb!).
Abstract: There is an old adage, we can't see the forest for the trees - meaning that we often get too wrapped- up in details to see the overall picture. In our forest inventories, we often spend too much effort measuring trees and not enough time trying to get an overall view of the total resources and functions of the forests. Similarly, we often spend a lot of time measuring, monitoring and reporting on the status forests. Yet, in spite of all our forest monitoring efforts, we find that we are constantly loosing forest lands. This may be because we fail to look at the forests in relation to human needs and in relation to the Earth's other land resources. We can't see the Earth for the forests! This paper explores some of the technical and political problems with current forest inventory and monitoring methods at the national and global level and presents some politically and scientifically correct recommendations for solving them.

Invited paper prepared for the Fourth Annual Conference of the European Forest Institute, Gembloux, Belgium. 6-9 September 1997. 16 p.
Abstract: Non-wood forest resources (NWFR) are growing in importance. There are a seemingly infinite number of potential products available from the minerals and various life forms on our forested lands. The interior, exterior, "products", or functions of organisms, such as plants and animals, may provide useful goods or services. We can develop any of these resources as long as there is a market. However, one can develop a resource to the extent that it loses its forest' identity. How far to push development depends on the land owner, the decision-maker, and the laws. Regardless, four types of studies are needed to develop NWFR: biodiversity inventories, cultural studies, product, users and market surveys, and resource inventories. What to inventory will depend on the specific needs of the individual decision-maker. However, we do recommend the use of multipurpose resource or ecological inventories to keep data collection costs down and when the ultimate use of the resources is unknown.

1996. Lund, H. Gyde. Bread making part three - avoiding the fallen loaf
Paper presented at the short course on "Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Disaster Management," University of Wisconsin, Madison. 4 December 1996. 15 p.
Abstract: By definition, catastrophes are unavoidable. One can, however, take actions to reduce the impact and to shorten the time span for recovery. Knowing when, where and what types of catastrophes are likely to occur helps one to be prepared. For natural resources, having a continuous inventory program will help in the assessment of the impacts. Suggestions include maintaining an archive of remote sensing coverage, developing and maintaining a permanent plot network, keeping aware of advanced technologies such as airborne videography, global positioning systems, etc. Such information, when stored in a geographic information system (GIS), can be of immense help in planning for and responding to disasters. The output from a GIS can be no better than the input. Data sources include resource inventories, maps, and remote sensing. If data from such sources are to be entered in a GIS, then they must be designed with that use in mind. Considerations for the data collection efforts include appropriateness of the sampling designs, sampling and non-sampling errors, objectivity and quality control of measurements, and methods used for geo-registering field plots and map lines. Using an analogy of the steps needed to make bread in a bread making machine, the authors present an overview of geographic information and recommendations for data collection as it applies to disaster management. This paper is a combination of two previously developed - Lund et al. (1996) and Lund (1993).

1996. Lund, H. Gyde. Lost in space - Assorted views on resource assessment and monitoring
Paper presented to World Bank, Washington, DC. 1 Feb. 1996. 8 p.
Abstract: One of the outcomes from UNCED is the need for the various nations and the international community to monitor the Earth's resources for sustainable use and development. Much attention is given to the use of remote sensing to carry out this task. I present some of the needs for national and global monitoring and review some of the exercises currently on going along with some of their needs for improvement. Using our work with Indonesia, I outline a process for linking local monitoring efforts with global activities. I finish with some of the things that World Bank and other organizations can do to build more solid monitoring systems.

1993. Lund, H. Gyde. Global monitoring and the Forest Service or Stop the world, we need to get on
Paper presented at the USDA Forest Service Seminar, 12 February 1993. Washington, DC. 10 p.
Abstract: The state of the world is important to us all. What happens to the resources in one part of the globe can affect other parts of the earth - environmentally, economically, and socially. We have the capability to effectively inventory and monitor the earth's resources through the use of remote sensing, field surveys and computer technology. Surprisingly, there is no consolidated effort at monitoring all of the Earth's resources. Many independent efforts at monitoring parts of the world's ecosystems have been redundant and ineffective. The United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO) are four groups working to create some order out of chaos. The USDA Forest Service is the premier forest management agency of the world. We have one of the best forest inventory programs and our experience in using remote sensing is unexcelled. It is logical then, that the Forest Service lends its expertise to improve global monitoring efforts. We need to form partnerships with UNEP and WRI and with U.S. agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) who also are working on global monitoring strategies. In addition, we need to increase our support to FAO and UNEP. The anticipated funding, through the Forest for the Future Initiative (FFI), may provide the needed resources to bolster our role in global monitoring.

Prepared for: Proceedings; Gli inventari delle risorse forestali: strumenti conoscitivi per i processi decisionali; 26 April 1985; Venice, Italy. Invited paper.
Abstract: Large Federal agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture/ Forest Service, must make decisions throughout all levels of the organization. Key to the decisions are the inventories and the resultant summaries upon which decisions are made. This paper outlines, in general, the kinds of decisions the Forest Service must make at various administrative levels and the changes we are making in our inventories to make them more cost - effective and responsive to the decision maker. Specific inventory summaries are not addressed as these vary by agency and inventory design. Fundamental to the development of such inventories are an information needs assessment, cooperation and coordination, standardization, objectivity, and control. The steps we are taking to incorporate these fundamentals and the expected results are presented.

Prepared for: Clement, J., ed. Conference on inventory and monitoring of woody formations in dry tropical zones; 26-29 March 1984; Niamey, Niger. Paris, France: Republique Francaise; Ministere de Relations Exterieures. Contributed paper.
Abstract: Literature on techniques for fuelwood inventory of the world's dry tropical zones is sparse due to the relative low priority for conducting research in these areas. A particular inventory problem is the identification of what material is utilized for fuels. This problem can be circumvented somewhat by inventorying for total woody biomass. Plant height, crown diameter, and stem diameter are most frequently used to develop biomass equations. In all likelihood, fuelwood inventories in the dry topics will have to be done with ongoing forest or rangeland surveys to be economically justified. In most areas, a systematic sample is the simplest inventory design to implement. If type maps or remote sensing are available, some efficiencies could be gained by using multiphase sampling. Fixed-area, permanent plots are recommended for measuring growth and predicting trends.
