Urban FIA Goal -- Annually monitor the Nation’s urban forests with special emphasis in the largest (Iconic) cities of America!
2
Why Urban areas home to >80% of population Urban forests on front line of service to people Urban forests not covered by strategic monitoring program Urban areas currently cover ~68 million acres (size of CO) Urban areas projected to cover ~165 million acres by 2060 (size of TX)
3
Urban (1990): 2.5% of Lower 48
4
Urban (2000): 3.1%
5
Urban (2010): 3.6%
6
Urban (2020): 4.4%
7
Urban (2030): 5.2%
8
Urban (2040): 6.3%
9
Urban (2050): 7.4%
10
Urban (2060): 8.7% of Lower 48

How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame FIA Plots in Maryland
12
How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame = Census-defined urban boundary (UAUC) Urbanized areas (UA) >=500 people/mi 2, population >=50,000 Urban clusters (UC) >=500 people/mi 2, population 2,500 to 49,999 = Census-defined urban boundary (UAUC) Urbanized areas (UA) >=500 people/mi 2, population >=50,000 Urban clusters (UC) >=500 people/mi 2, population 2,500 to 49,999 = Census-defined urban boundary (UAUC) Urbanized areas (UA) >=500 people/mi 2, population >=50,000 Urban clusters (UC) >=500 people/mi 2, population 2,500 to 49,999
13
How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame = Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA) defines Metro Area around City of Baltimore
14
How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame Urban forest is within U.S. Census-defined urban boundary (UAUC) Constrained by the chosen city’s Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA). Urban FIA plots in Baltimore Metro Area
15
How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame = Intensified sample within hub city of Baltimore
16
How – Extend FIA Sampling Frame Metro areas of largest (Iconic) hub cities first; then the rest of the urban (blue) areas Iconic hub city = population ~200k +
17
Urban FIA Implementation 2015 Des Moines, IA Houston, TX Madison, WI Milwaukee, WI Providence, RI St Louis, MO 2014 Austin, TX Baltimore, MD 2016 Burlington., VT Chicago, IL Cleveland, OH Kansas City, MO Pittsburgh, PA Rochester, NY Springfield, MO = Metro Area with Hub City Intensification = Other Urban Areas Statewide Implementation = Urban Areas = Metro Areas = Hub City
