Forest management requires information on both current and future conditions. Forest inventories are taken at a given point in time; hence, inventory data must be updated. There are numerous alternatives for updating inventories. The use of tree and stand models for inventory updating is emphasized and the integration of inventory and growth and yield modelling is discussed. By more completely interfacing inventory and growth and yield modelling, information needed for forest management can be provided more efficiently.
