      • Forest Examination Protocol
        • dataset_eml_methoddescription: This ecological assessment was conducted using a revised version of the Forest Examination protocol. It incorporates the coarse filter/fine filter assessment methodology for protection of biodiversity.This approach first identifies examples of all natural community types at their natural scale of occurence. This 'coarse filter' approach is implemented with the 'fine filter' approach which addresses specific populations of rare species, critical habitats, or other sites that are left unprotected

        • dataset_eml_methoddescription: The revised State Land FOREX system was used for data collection (L. Thornton, 2000), which includes vegetation, soils, landscape, and other variables to assess natural communtity types. Additional data were collected on stand structure, tree volumes, health, wildlife habitat, and understory vegetation.
