Abstract

Arcpy and Pandas to Monitor Non-Timber Resources
Track: Forestry
Authors: Stephen Smyrl

Landbase reporting provides an immediate view of the status of non-timber obligations across an operating area. Coupling the arcpy and pandas Python modules, we can quickly generate summaries that planners can use to ensure timber harvesting meets non-timber obligations. As a web application, planners can upload planned blocks to immediately monitor potential impacts.
