Development of IUFRO Guides on Multiple Resource Inventory



Please see enclosed. If you are interested in assisting, please
respond to me and NOT the net. Thanks, Gyde

At the IUFRO XX World Congress held in Tampere, Finland earlier this month, Dr.
Chin, Asean Institute of Forest Management, discussed a proposal to develop
IUFRO Guides for Designing Multiple Resource Inventories as called for in the
Seremban IUFRO workshop held this past November.  We agreed to proceed with the
development of the guides and are looking for volunteers to help out. The
Guides may contain the following:
  Basic concepts - advantages, disadvantages  - seasons
  Options - separate inventories, coordinated, total.
  Information needs assessment - establishing common language, terms, codes,
  processes, rules.
  Getting support and coordinated
  Planning
  Design options
  Special skills needed (planning, logistics)
  Data collection - trees, shrubs, grass, animals, soils
  Updating/remeasurements
  Data sharing and use
  Special concerns
  Case studies
