About this file
Exhibit F is a Plant Element Occurrence Field Form developed by the USDA Forest Service in 2008 for use in documenting botanical surveys and plant species observations. This form serves as the primary data collection instrument for the 54 North Botanical Surveys contract opportunity on the North Fork John Day Ranger District within the Umatilla National Forest in Oregon. The form is designed to capture comprehensive field data on plant element occurrences across proposed vegetation management units as part of the 54 North Fuels Reduction and Huckleberry Restoration Project.
The five-page form contains 91 distinct data fields organized into multiple sections: General Information, Element Occurrence Data, Site Morphometry, Soil Characteristics and Light Conditions, Site Classifications, Habitat Quality and Management Comments, Canopy Cover Record, Associated Species List, EO Specimen Documentation, Image Information, and Location Information. Required and conditionally required fields are designated throughout the form, with critical data points including site identification, survey dates, examiner information, plant scientific and NRCS codes, plant population counts and phenology observations, slope and aspect measurements, soil characteristics, vegetation classifications, habitat quality assessments, canopy cover percentages, associated species documentation, specimen collection details, GPS coordinates and UTM data, and USGS quad references. The form requires bidders to document evidence of disease, competition, predation, collection, trampling, herbivory, and pollinator observations, along with detailed habitat descriptions and disturbance threat assessments to support comprehensive botanical survey reporting for the fuels reduction and huckleberry restoration initiative.
