16. Mission of FBRI (1) Databases: Assist individual companies and agencies to establish, maintain and enhance a field-based permanent plot database of the major species, sites, stocking and silviculture found on each of their own lands. These data will be used to evaluate, verify, calibrate and update growth models within these ownerships. A major database already exists as compiled by Dr. James D. Arney over the past twenty- five years. It has been transferred to the Institute to use, maintain and enhance.
