Forest Biometrics Software

(more detailed information can be found here)

Forest Biometrics supports the Forest Projection and Planning System (FPS) software for forest inventory, growth projection, silvicultural planning and long-term harvest scheduling. The FPS software works within Microsoft Access (Office 97, 2000, XP, 2003) and contains direct linkages to MapInfo and ArcView geographic information systems. It is fully functional in Windows 98, NT, Me, 2000, XP and 2003. The current version is 6.51 released May 20, 2006. FPS is installed in over 140 forestry offices in the West. This version has incorporated additional cash flow economics, non-tree vegetation, cruise statistics, and certified regional species libraries. The Regional Species Library now is in a database architecture for local calibration of individual tree farms, reservations and regions.

FPS Version 6.50 was distributed to FBRI members in March 2006. The 6.51 update on this website provides additional defaults for reporting options (acres net-of-roads, acres net-of-riparian, acres in riparian zones only), a correction for variable top diameter merchandising, and a correction for handling non-tree vegetation growth in the Species Libraries.
