Criteria for evaluating inventory

update strategies: • Provide an accurate estimate of the total forest

inventory at any point in time - for valuations.• Provide accurate volume estimates at the stand level

- for operations planning.• Minimize fluctuations in the inventory estimate from

year to year due to the update process being used.• Within time/cost constraints.

PNW GMUG Portland, OR9/11/03

Sources of Inaccuracy:

• Cruising - sampling error– violation of required sample size according to “rules”

• Growth modeling - prediction error (on top of original sampling error)

• Stratification error - original misclassification of stands by forest type

Alternative Update Strategies:

PNW GMUG Portland, OR9/11/03

Most accurate, most expensive

Smaller fluctuations, low cost

Possible large fluctuations

Cost “spike”; growth model dep.

How to explain/explore/evaluate

alternative update strategies? • Simulation model in Excel workbook

• Define a forest stratum of 20 stands, with “perfect knowledge” of inventory in each stand for an 11-year period; define stand-to-stand variation

• Define the proposed update strategy

• Describe cruise estimation and growth model errors

• Assign costs for cruising and modeling

• Run repeated trials; collect statistics on performance
