The Common NFI Database [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
To test bridging techniques for the harmonized estimation of forest biodiversity indicators for each of the selected essential features a common database was constructed and populated with raw NFI data provided by some of the COST Action E43 participating countries. The database was structured with five tables in a relational database: one table for descriptive plot data, one for tree level data, one for deadwood pieces, one for shrub data and one for ground vegetation. The database was populated with data for 320,023 trees, data for 25,639 pieces of deadwood, 12,588 shrub records and 34,364 ground vegetation records from 14,638 NFI plots provided by 13 European countries and the USA.
