The Forest and Rangeland Measurements Lab is co-directed by Dr Alistair Smith and Dr Eva Strand and is in the College of Natural Resources at the University of Idaho.

The lab focuses on all aspects of measurements from traditional forest inventory and biometrics approaches to the cutting-edge application of remote sensing and GIScience methods to characterize plot to landscape-scale process and the impacts of fire and other disturbances on the environment.

Measurements are at the core of all Natural Resources research and management, whether we are conducting a traditional forest inventory to model the growth and yield of a given species or evaluating the habitat type of an endangered species in a rangeland. Regardless of of goal,  it is essential to use appropriate measurement and sampling methods.
