>Not even close to the extent of a clear cut. (if at all).
I have seen and worked in 10 year old clear cuts with less number of trees
than the parking areas at my local mall.
Your missing the point. The areas of 2A that you think are not being included in the FIA forested estimate ARE being picked up. Abandoned pasture land is being classed as seedling/sapling and is therefore classified as forested.
