This study presents techniques for calculating average net annual additions to carbon in forests and in forest products. Forest ecosystem carbon yield tables, representing stand-level merchantable volume and carbon pools as a function of stand age, were developed for 51 forest types within 10 regions of the United States. Separate tables were developed for afforestation and reforestation. Because carbon continues to be sequestered in harvested wood, approaches to calculate carbon sequestered in harvested forest products are included. Although these calculations are simple and inexpensive to use, the uncertainty of results obtained by using representative average values may be high relative to other techniques that use site- or project-specific data. The estimates and methods in this report are consistent with guidelines being updated for the U.S. Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program and with guidelines developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The CD-ROM included with this publication contains a complete set of tables in spreadsheet format.

Measurement guidelines for forest carbon sequestration were developed to support reporting by public and private entities to greenhouse gas registries. These guidelines are intended to be a reference for designing a forest carbon inventory and monitoring system by professionals with a knowledge of sampling, statistical estimation, and forest measurements. This report provides guidance on defining boundaries; measuring, monitoring, and estimating changes in carbon stocks; implementing plans to measure and monitor carbon; and developing quality assurance and quality control plans to ensure credible and reproducible estimates of the carbon credits.

Presents key social science findings from three National Fire Plan-sponsored research projects. Articles highlight information of likely interest to individuals working to decrease wildfire hazards on both private and public lands. Three general topic areas are addressed: (1) public views and acceptance of fuels management, (2) working with homeowners and communities, and (3) tools that can help us understand social issues.

This field guide is intended to aid Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) foresters in identifying 44 plants listed in Appendix I of the FIA Field Guide 4.0 (http://nrs.fs.fed.us/ fia/data-collection/). This document will change as invasive species are added or removed from the list. Appendix A includes Leaf and inflorescence morphology, descriptive terms, and descriptive flower shapes. Appendix B contains a comparison of nonnative shrubbery Lonicera. Appendix C includes keys to the species, Lonicera. Appendix D contains a comparison of nonnative Berberis species. Appendix E contains keys to the species Berberis. Appendix F contains Notes about Polygonum (Fallopia) species. Appendix G contains a key to the species Elaeagnus. A Glossary is also included.
