*1. (Large Tree Plot) Sample standing live trees 5.0 inches DBH/DRC and larger to obtain a minimum of 8.0 trees per plot. USE EITHER VARIABLE RADIUS Plot: With a 5, 10, 20, 30, or 40 BAF = Code BAF; OR USE FIXED RADIUS Plot: With a 1/5, 1/10, 1/20, 1/30 acre plot = Code FRQ.

*2. (Small Tree Plot) Using a 1/20, 1/50, or 1/100 acre fixed radius plot to obtain a minimum of 8.0 trees per plot, sample DBH/DRC live trees between 0.1inch and 4.9inch DBH or DRC live trees between 0.5ft. and 4.4ft. in height, and sample DRC live trees between 0.1 inch and 4.9 inch DRC.

*3. Use a 1 or ½ acre plot for standing dead trees (snags) and down logs, minimum of 12 inch diameter and 8 feet tall/long, to obtain a minimum of 6 samples per plot.

*4. Use a 1/5 acre fixed plot for stumps 12inch diameter and larger.

**. Down Woody (Browns Transect) data MUST be recorded and submitted as a totally separate CSE file from the Tree data CSE file.
