1. Using a XX* BAF, sample all standing trees, both live and dead, 5.0” DBH/DRC and larger.

2. Using a XXX* acre plot, sample DBH of live trees between 0.1” and 4.9” DBH or DBH of live trees between 0.5’ and 4.4’ in height, and sample DRC live trees between 0.1” and 4.9” DRC.

*Appropriate values shall be entered by the contractor to achieve an average of 5 large trees per plot and 1/300th acre small fixed plot. Where a 10BAF is selected, the small fixed plot shall be 1/100th acre.
