1. Using either a 1/10, 1/20, 1/24, 1/30 acre plot, sample standing live trees 5.0” DBH/DRC and larger to obtain a minimum of 8.0 trees per plot. If a 1/10 acre plot is used, the minimum of 8.0 trees per plot will be waived.

2. Using a 1/20 or 1/100 acre plot, sample DBH/DRC live trees between 0.1” and 4.9” DBH or DRC live trees between 0.5’ and 4.4’ in height, and sample DRC live trees between 0.1” and 4.9” DRC. If the 1/20 acre is used, minimum 8 trees per plot will be waived.

3. Use a ½ or 1 acre plot for standing dead trees and down logs.
