Land Base Investment Rationale Activity Area Expectations
For each management unit a Land Base Investment Rationale (LBIR) must be provided to link the management unit resource issues with the investment schedule.
The LBIR is intended to be the intermediary between licensee's individual needs and those of the management unit that can be supported by the FIA Land Base Investment Program. It will provide context and focus for FIA land base investments at the management unit level, defined as being a TSA or TFL.
The LBIR will provide an overview of the management unit issues that need to be addressed for the achievement of the desired future condition of the forests within it (e.g., desirable age class and seral stage distribution). It will also provide ministries with documentation that link the LBIP activity expenditures at the forest and stand level with resource objectives at the management unit level, and LBIP objectives at the provincial level.
It is anticipated that the LBIR will only require updating on an annual basis if the issues, activities or expected benefits change significantly.
