| The Timber Resource
Analysis Systems team contributes information to regional
and national assessments of forest resources by focusing
on how
various activities affect resources across the landscape.
Biological, climatological, and human forces shape the forests
of tomorrow.
Through collaboration and research, the team works to improve
our understanding of how investments in forest management,
large scale disturbances, levels of harvest, and changes
in land use interact and impact the resource. The resulting
analysis
and tools contribute to a comprehensive view of our Nation’s
forest land and improve knowledge available to the policymaking
arena.
