About this file
This is a 2025 Plant Survey form used for documenting botanical field surveys, particularly focused on identifying Threatened, Endangered, or Sensitive (TES) species, Watch List species, and noxious weeds within designated survey stands.
The form captures survey logistics including surveyor information, affiliation, survey dates, times, survey type (random meander, directed, or other), and survey period classification (P0, P1, P2, or P3). Point placement data collection requires easting and northing coordinates in UTMs NAD83 Zone 15T, tree species identification, tree diameter at breast height (DBH), GPS flag and ring markers, and positional error measurements. The habitat description section documents forest type (FT), year of occurrence (YoO), and vegetation type (VT), with specific attention to pine stand suitability for target species including S. dissectum, S. oneidense, S. rugulosum, and B. pallidum. The form includes a comprehensive target species list with scientific names and species codes for 70+ plant species and lichen species, organized in a reference table format. Results documentation requires completion of Plant Element Occurrence forms for all TES species found, with separate tracking for positive and negative findings. Earthworm invasion assessment uses the IERAT scale (1-5) with extent classification (fully or partially invaded, worm-free, or heavily invaded), critical for assessing ecosystem disturbance. The form also documents noxious weed detections with 10 identified species requiring location mapping via easting and northing coordinates and coverage percentages, plus Watch List species detection with distribution and habitat condition descriptions.
