Reflections from Montana Todd Morgan – University of Montana Renate Bush – Northern Region, National Forest Systems

 Overview of recent biomass reports for Montana  Similarities in information needs  Current deficits and possible solutions to information needs

 Outside of wilderness/roadless areas Non-reserved timberland and distance to road Intersection of plots with wilderness and inventoried roadless  Remove old growth from the estimates Stand age as reported in EVALIDator Determined by whether plot met old growth criteria used by Region 1 NFS and MT DNRC

 Biomass on live trees: “All live biomass on timberland” Merchantable bole, non-merch bole, and crown  Standing dead tree biomass From Larry Deblander (IW-FIA analyst) Derived using methods consistent to live biomass estimates via the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS)

 Analysis Area All owners R1 lands within 40 mile and 70 mile working circle

 Ability to attribute FIA plots with (even a few) common spatial datasets used within a state Example: wilderness and inventoried roadless  Ability to attribute FIA plots with common classifications used within a state Example: Old growth

 More biomass attributes available Crown. Dead trees. (We have a beetle epidemic – just live tree info is of limited value.)  Ability to access, attribute, and easily analyze all the plots for a state to meet information needs
