Description

Systematic establishment of gridded plots across watersheds followed by long-term monitoring of tagged individual trees for mortality and recruitment rates. Combined with environmental characterization of each plot.

Typical Equipment

  • GPS units for plot positioning
  • tree tags
  • GPS units or measuring devices for spatial coordinates
  • GPS units for elevation
  • clinometer for slope
  • compass for aspect
  • soil sampling tools
  • data recording sheets
  • replacement tags for new recruits

Output Measurements

  • mortality rates
  • recruitment rates
  • environmental variables
