i-Tree Eco Data Dictionary for GPS Units Running TerraSync
This data dictionary to collect i-Tree Eco complete inventory data was developed for GPS units running TerraSync.
This file setup (with a .ddf extension) is designed to collect those data that are absolutely necessary for an i-Tree Eco complete inventory analysis. The data collected using this data dictionary can be converted to the appropriate Access database tables in an i-Tree Eco project through the Eco application. Currently, these data need to be sent to the USDA Forest Service for analysis.
More information about UFORE data collection can be found at http://www.fs.fed.us/ne/syracuse/Tools/UFORE.htm
For those using a GPS software package other than Trimble's GPS Pathfinder Office and wanting to create their own field survey form, the attributes configuration can be viewed as a pdf by clicking on this link.
