Western Oregon Cascades Library (#11)
Developed by Forest Biometrics, LLC. Originally developed in 1995 at a cost of $5,000 per company as a one-time research cooperative project. The Library is now maintained by the FBRI with updates occurring as necessary and distributed to Institute members only.

Western Washington Library (#12)
Developed by Forest Biometrics, LLC. Originally developed in 1996 at a cost of $5,000 per company as a one-time research cooperative project. The Library is now maintained by the FBRI with updates occurring as necessary and distributed to Institute members only.

East Central Washington Library (#13)
Developed by Forest Biometrics, LLC. Originally developed in 1997 as a one-time research cooperative project. The Library is now maintained by the FBRI with updates occurring as necessary and distributed to Institute members only.

North Idaho & Western Montana Library (#14)
Also known as the Bitterroot Range Library of Idaho and Montana. Developed by Forest Biometrics, LLC. Originally developed in 1998 as a one-time research cooperative project. The Library is now maintained by the FBRI with updates occurring as necessary and distributed to Institute members only.

East Central Oregon Library (#15)
Developed by Forest Biometrics, LLC. Originally developed in 1998 as a one-time research cooperative project. The Library is now maintained by the FBRI with updates occurring as necessary and distributed to Institute members only.

Northern California Library (#16)
Developed by Forest Biometrics Research Institute in 2006. Many permanent plot datasets are still being analyzed and further refinements will be released as they are completed. This Library is maintained by the FBRI with updates occurring as necessary and distributed to Institute members only.

Oregon Coastal Range Library (#17)
Developed by Forest Biometrics Research Institute in 2006. Originally developed in 1995 as part of Library #11, but site productivity differences between the Oregon Coast Range and the Oregon Cascade Range became evident in 2004-2005. The growth dynamics of a particular species is not greatly different between the Coast and the Cascades, but the growth dynamics between species is significantly different. Each landowner is advised to collect and analyze site productivity information by species for their own forest landbase. This local productivity information is key to calibrating the taper, site and growth dynamics of mixed-species stands in this region. The Library was produced and is maintained by the FBRI with updates occurring as necessary and distributed to Institute members only. Land managers who gather and analyze local site productivity data in this region should contact FBRI for assistance in calibrating and customizing their Species Library to their own landbase.

Southeast Alaska Library (#20)
Developed by Forest Biometrics Research Institute in 2006. Originally developed in 2005 based on cooperative agreements with the USFS Experiment Station pertaining to permanent plot installations in Western Hemlock and Sitka Spruce throughout Southeast Alaska. The Library is maintained by the FBRI with updates occurring as necessary and distributed to Institute members only.

Central Montana Rockies Library (#21)
Developed by Forest Biometrics Research Institute in 2006. The Library was developed and is maintained by the FBRI with updates occurring as necessary and distributed to Institute members only. There is only limited permanent plot data available in this region, but FBRI is expanding efforts to locate and establish a more robust research database for this region.

Other Regional Species Libraries are under development to localize parameters for Pacific Northwest coastal forests, Oregon Cascade Range, North Idaho, Coastal British Columbia, and Southeast Alaska.
