1) Can we integrate US forest inventory plot measurements with disturbance severities from remote sensing to characterize changes in live and dead biomass in response to changes in management and land use? 2) How accurate are estimates of disturbance and land use change is the US plot inventory network? 3) How can better plot-level estimates of annual change in forest carbon pools, and the impacts of land use and management (from objective 2), improve our ability to accurately report the US National Greenhouse Gas Inventory?
