vol dataset

These data are projections, 1995-2040, of timber growth, removals, and inventory, by species, by year, by Forest Inventory and Analysis Survey Unit (or by Ecoregion), by projection scenario, developed using the Subregional Timber Supply Model. Survey unit resolution. These data are also available in an alternative data layout.
