2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: 9.1

Comment: National Forest Inventory would be fine for estimating growth in Canada, where it is conducted, but it is impossible to use this in the US. For example-loblolly pine doesn't grow in Canada but it is an important timber species in the US, so it would be impossible to the National Forest Inventory to estimate it's growth.

Proposed Change: Use national datasets from the whole continent

NCX response: Thank you for your comment. The acronym used here, NFI, refers to the National Forest Inventory of any nation and not solely that of Canda. We will clarify this confusion in the revised methodology.
