Background Information
IFOS is a shared service and is based in Edinburgh, but has staff located throughout Great Britain. The core role of IFOS is to supply forestry information to decision makers in the Forestry Commission and the forest Industry as a whole. It achieves this through the provision of a range of services which includes the National Forest Inventory, the Production Forecast, Operational Guidance Booklets, Forester GIS and Ordnance Survey Mapping.
The National Forest Inventory (NFI) is run by the Inventory and Forecasting Unit of IFOS and monitors the location, extent and condition of woodlands throughout Great Britain. It does this by means of construction and regular maintenance and updating of a digital spatial map of British woodlands using information from aerial photography, remote sensing and administrative sources. This is augmented with a large field survey operation with many thousands of individual survey sites covering a representative sample of woodlands across Great Britain. The NFI field survey is designed as a continuous survey of woodland on a 5-year cycle, with repeat surveying of the majority of sites in each cycle. The operation is currently within a change-over period between its first and second cycle.
Other similar operations are under investigation within NFI to monitor trees outside of woodlands.
