IUFRO Updated Global Forest Decimal Classification (GFDC) Published By IUFRO
IUFRO announces the publication of an extensively updated bilingual full version of English/German edition of the Global Forest Decimal Classification (GFDC). The classification is used with UDC to provide more precision for forestry subjects.
GFDC replaces the former Forest Decimal Classification (FDC) and Oxford System for Decimal Classification for Forestry (ODC).
This edition includes about 80 new numbers and 100 extensions (or clarifications) of existing numbers, as well as all amendments 1-9 published between 1954 and 1992. The original concepts have been retained and new concepts added, bringing the classification up-to-date to reflect current issues in forestry and forest products research.
The next steps are to translate the changes to French and Spanish.
