The SCFC collects FIA data on a network of plot locations across South Carolina. FIA is often referred to as our nation's forest census. The FIA program collects, analyzes, and reports on the status and trends of America's forests. In South Carolina, data is collected on tree diversity and abundance, carbon estimates, tree mortality from natural disasters, insects and disease, and removals from timber harvest practices.
