The general scope of a new cooperative study at the School of Forest Resources, University of Georgia, in analysis of long-term fiber supply in Georgia is presented and described. Essentially, this study is an applied research effort into effective techniques for annual forest inventory using Landsat TM imagery, GPS, and GIS. The overriding objective is to develop a methodology for realistic fiber supply assessment on a short and long term basis. The resulting methodology will be used to reassess sustainability of Georgia's forest resources on an annual basis by rerunning the long-term simulations with annually updated forest inventory data. Our approach is similar to the approach adapted by British Columbia for determination of annual allowable cut in national forests, whereby the levels of allowable cuts every year are determined by long-term sustainability analyses based on 200-year simulations of the existing inventory under assumed levels of utilization. Currently, the analysis is based on basic inventory summaries generated using the databases provided by the USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis unit. However, even this simplified preliminary approach to the analysis is very comprehensive.
