About this template
This operations dashboard brings together indicators like "Total Plots Sampled", "Average Trees Per Plot" and "Avg Basal Area per Plot (sq ft/ac)" in a single view. Edit the entries in the Data tab and the dashboard numbers update instantly — no need to build the spreadsheet from scratch.
This template helps forestry teams track plot-based inventory data, including species counts, basal area, and estimated timber volume across sampling dates. Enter each plot measurement as a separate row with details on location, species group, and inventory metrics. Review the KPIs and comparison bars to quickly assess sampling coverage, average stocking, and estimated resource volume by forest unit. Update the dashboard regularly with new sampling rounds to monitor changes in forest resources and support management decisions.
