Revision History Log

Version #	Date	Revised by	Changes	Justification
1.00	July 2017	Fred Dieffenbach	Initial Version
2.00	May 2020	Aaron Weed	Updated and merged prior versions of SOPs 1 and 2 into this SOP to incorporate new R-based FIA data workflow utilizing ther rFIA package.	These changes were made because former workflow using MS Access downloads from FIA are no longer supported and because analysis workflow for estimating metrics was updated.
3.00	Feb 2024	Jacob Gross & Aaron Weed	Revised so SOP and code to download, clip, and summarize the data tables are one and the same. Edits for clarity.	Former SOP was was like a tutorial on how to use rFIA functions. It was separate from APPA forest health report and quickly became out of date due to evolving nature of the rFIA package and the APPA Forest Health Rmarkdown report. New approach reduces the number of files/documents needing managed. And tables generated from SOP should feed directly into forest health report.
