Methods

The methods followed in the creation of the dataset, including description of field, laboratory and processing steps, and quality control procedures

Current Methods

  • Wildlife Coarse Woody Material: 26.3’ radiu
    Started: 2015-06-01

    To be measured the CWM must be within the 26.3’ radius plot and have a diameter > 12”. If the CWM meets the criteria the center diameter is measured and whether it is hollow or not is recorded.

Dataset Fields

Current Equipment

  • Wildlife Coarse Woody Material: 26.3’ radius
    Started: 2015-06-01

    To be measured the coarse woody material must be within the 26.3’ radius plot and have a diameter > 12”. If the CWM meets the criteria the center diameter is measured and whether it is hollow or not is recorded.

    Frequency: Each plot will be remeasured on a 7-year rotation following the original measurement protocols.
