15. FIADB mirrors field procedures Field Data  Plot  Subplot  Condition  Tree  Seedling  Site tree  Boundary  Oracle Tables Plot Subplot Condition Tree Seedling Site tree Boundary Survey & County

16. Forest Inventory and Analysis Mapmaker Run Forest Inventory Mapmaker program. The user inputs the following information: 1) geographic area of interest (state/county retrieval or radius retrieval) 2) attribute of interest (timberland area, number of trees, growing-stock volume, etc.) 3) optional filters (for restricting the query to a specific ownership, species, etc.) 4) classification variables to be used for columns and rows and the web application generates the resulting table. If the user selects County or Congressional District as the row variable a shaded county map is generated.
