The purpose of this field manual is to provide field inventory staff with structured information on the inventory techniques that will lead to the achievement of the intended outputs. This manual includes description of the sampling design and fieldwork instructions used in the data collection of biophysical attributes on sample plots. The manual also covers the measurement practices, list of equipment, field forms and data collection procedures; and is based on experiences of forest inventories conducted in Liberia in the past, while taking into account experiences from other NFI projects supported by FAO. This manual is being prepared to support the future implementation of a National Forest Inventory (NFI) in Liberia as part of the Technical Assistance (TA) Agreement entitled “The Design and Implementation of a MRV Framework for REDD+ and Development of FREL/FRL for REDD+ in Liberia.”
