The ICP Forests monitoring Manual documents the harmonized methods for sampling and analysis as adopted by the participating countries of ICP Forests.
The latest revision of the ICP Forests Manual has been carried out in spring 2020. The updated parts of the Manual have then been adopted by the Programme Task Force on 12 June 2020.
For older Manual versions please refer to the bottom of the page or by contacting pcc-icpforests@thuenen.de .
