1. Using a 10/20/30 BAF, sample all standing trees, both live and dead, 5.0” DBH/DRC and larger. Appropriate values shall be entered by the contractor to achieve an average of 5 large trees per plot.

2. Using a 100-acre plot, sample DBH of live trees between 0.1” and 4.9” DBH or DBH of live trees between 0.5’ and 4.4’ in height, and sample DRC live trees between 0.1” and 4.9” DRC.

1. Using a fixed 1/4th ac plot, sample dead standing trees 5.0” DBH/ DRC and larger AND at least 10’ in height.
