About this file
This file is a Sensitive Plant Data Entry Sheet template (2024 version) designed for the DPG (Dakota Prairie Grasslands) plant survey program. The form serves as a comprehensive field documentation instrument for rare and sensitive plant monitoring activities conducted by the USDA Forest Service, specifically for the Sheyenne Ranger District as referenced in solicitation 1284LM26Q0129.
The template captures 91 distinct data fields organized across multiple categories: general information (site identification, date, location, examiner details), element occurrence data (plant counts, population status, phenology percentages, disease/predation evidence), site morphometry (slope, aspect, elevation), soil and light conditions, habitat classification, canopy cover analysis by lifeform, associated species documentation, legal descriptions, GPS coordinates with specific accuracy requirements (30-60 positions per point, 5-10 feet between vertices), specimen documentation, and image/sketch records. Key operational specifications include provisions for tracking revisit necessity with justification, population comments, pollinator observations, habitat quality assessments, invasive species presence, and disturbance/threat documentation. The form requires differentially corrected GPS data transferred directly from GPS units and includes fields for vegetation classification using NRCS codes, soil moisture and texture characterization, and comprehensive habitat integrity evaluations. This data entry template supports the rare plant monitoring surveys for the Dakota Prairie Grasslands and facilitates standardized field data collection for environmental assessment and management purposes.
