Description

Two critical questions often arise in forest management pertaining to the accuracy and suitability of any new forest inventory technique at the tree or stand level: how can we judge whether a new inventory technique is valid or of acceptable accuracy; and how can we compare if a new inventory technique agrees with or is better than an existing one. This technical document describes the procedures and the statistical methods that collectively provide the tools to address and answer these questions.

Description

The Alberta Vegetation Inventory (AVI) is a standardized digital forest inventory product that is used to spatially identify the type, extent and condition of forest vegetation. The AVI is also a detailed, spatially-explicit standard to assist in the decision-making process for forest management planning, wildfire management, wildlife habitat classification, ecological classification and integrated resource management activities. The establishment of AVI standards helps ensure data quality, consistency, and compatibility with Government of Alberta forest inventory database architecture, as the responsibility to acquire AVI data is shared between forest management agreement holders and the Province.
