2023 Forest Inventory and Analysis Business Report

For more than 90 years, the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program of the Forest Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has played an integral role in providing information vital to the management and conservation of the Nation’s forest resources. Nearly all major decisions regarding the Nation’s forests have been made with reference to and reliance on FIA findings and forest resource evaluations. Although FIA began as a timber inventory, today FIA provides authoritative data about forest carbon, forest products and services, biomass availability, economic development opportunities, land cover and land use change, weather effects on forests, incidence of nonnative invasive species, impacts of insects and diseases, and wildfire risk and impacts. FIA data and analyses also support the sustainable management and conservation of forests, water resources, and biodiversity.
