INSTRUCTIONS

1. Locate and mark plot center on the ground.

2. Locate and examine the trees selected for leave, and trees that are cut on the plot. Record the Evaluation Code for satisfactory trees and deficiencies (except Category C trees) in column 2 on the top line for the plot. If required, record the species for each tree in the second line for the plot.

3. Tally all Category C deficiencies and record in the space below Column 10. (Tally by code- i.e. C1, C2 C3)

4. Total the Acceptable Leave Trees coded S1, S2 in column 3. Total cannot exceed the max. trees per plot. If total exceeds the max/plot, re-code trees [i.e. surplus trees over max. DBH should be coded S3, trees to ignore should be coded S4. Excess Trees are a deficiency, Category B]. Refer to Block n for maximum trees per plot.

5. Total the surplus trees >max. d.b.h (S3) and trees to ignore (S4) and record in column 4.

6. Total the non-stocked points on the plot coded N1and N2 and record in column 5.

7. Total the improper selection and cutting of trees (A1, A2) that should have been left; record in column 6.

8. Total the improper selection of leave trees (A3) or damage to leave trees (A4), record in column 7.

9. Total the trees that should have been cut (B1, B2), record in column 8.

10. If required, total the trees that should have been girdled or pruned or that were girdled or pruned incorrectly, record in column 9.

11. Total the Category C trees on the plot and record in column 10.

12. If required: estimate the average d.b.h and average height of the leave trees in the plot.

13. Remarks: include other required information

14. Total Columns 3-10 on each page, and provide the grand total of all pages on page 1.

15. After all plots have been conducted, calculate thinning quality using the total of all pages. Record in block t.

% Quality = 1.00 - Cat A deficiencies (col. 6 + col. 7) + Cat B deficiencies (col. 8 + col. 9) x 100

Acceptable Leave (col. 3) + Non-stocked points (col. 5)

16. Determine if Cat C trees (col. 10) exceed the maximum allowed specified (block s).

Cat C tpa = Total Col 10 x reciprocal of plot size

No. of plot

TREE EVALUATION CODES

Satisfactory Leave Trees

S1 (or √) Leave Tree meets specifications

S2 Tree left exceeds maximum d.b.h to cut, included in trees/plot calculation

S3 Tree left exceeds maximum d.b.h to cut, not included in trees/plot calculation

S4 Tree to be ignored, not included in trees/plot calculation.

Non-stocked areas

N1 Opening, no tree exists

N2 Opening created by cutting a tree with insect/disease or poor form.

Improperly cut trees: (Category A) Uncorrectable

A1 Tree should not have been cut, tree met leave tree specifications.

A2 Tree should not have been cut, tree exceeds max. d.b.h to cut

A3 Leave tree damaged by thinning operations

A4 Improper selection of leave tree (includes wrong species, undesirable tree, etc)

Excess Trees: (Category B) Correctable

B1 Tree should have been cut to meet allowable stocking density, or is too close to leave tree.

B2 Tree should have been cut because of damage, insect & disease or poor form.

*B3 Tree should have been girdled or was girdled improperly (or Cat C5)

*B4 Tree should have been pruned or was pruned improperly (or Cat C6)

Other Deficiencies: (Category C) Correctable

C1 Tree was not completely severed from stump C4 Small tree

C2 Hang up tree

*C5 Tree should have been girdled or was girdled improperly (or Cat B3)

C3 High Stump

*C6 Tree should have been pruned or was pruned improperly (or Cat B4)

Additional Notes (local requirements, etc.)

*If girdling or pruning is required, specify if trees not girdled/pruned or girdled/pruned improperly are considered a Cat B or Cat C deficiency prior to start work. Define a proportional value for each pruning deficiency if desired (i.e. 0.25 per deficiency)
