Abstract

    Holt Research Forest An inventory of timber, vegetation and ground cover in a 200m2 plot centered on the salamander survey stations. The quad* files contain 1994 ground cover and tree inventories for the 1983-95 random plot salamander search stations -- randomly placed 1m2 plots in blocks 3E-8I. The shingle* files contain 1994 ground cover and tree inventories for the 1987-present artificial cover object salamander checks -- stations N5-N580 and S5-S595 (S1 transects), and A-W (Monti transect). In "Documents/Images" we include a pdf of the Holt Research Forest manual chapter describing tree and vegetation inventory methods for the Small Mammal Trapping stations. This Salamander Station Timber Inventory was done the same way.
