inv final Exam Questions and Answers
Timber Productivity Rating - correct answer-TPR: the rate of productivity of the tree
determined by age and rate of growth
Crown Closure - correct answer-Amount of forest canopy cover
Moisture Regime - correct answer-Soil conditions of a site
A Density - correct answer-Requires an understory since there is enough sun exposure
to grow shade intolerant species
C and D Density - correct answer-Not enough sun exposure to allow growth for shade
tolerant species
Vegetated Polygon - correct answer-Polygon with no human influence on growth and no
cultivated species
Forested Polygon - correct answer-Supports tree growth with a crown closure of more
than or equal to 6%
Softcopy - correct answer-Computer generated stereo
Adjacency Error - correct answer-Polygons next to each other with the same AVI type
Edge Tie Process - correct answer-The same polygon on different maps
Authoritative Sampling - correct answer-Sampling a plot based on the cruisers
judgement, done by selecting a plot holistically
Inventory vs. Timber Cruise - correct answer-Inventory is used to collect data to then
stratify and make management plans. Timber cruise is for the volume of harvestable
wood
Inventory - correct answer-The main purpose of forest inventory is to stratify the project
area into relatively homogeneous units called polygons, cells, or stands for
planning purposes.
Limitations of AVI - correct answer-moisture regime could be enhanced, crown closures
could be to the nearest percentage, multi-layer could include a 3 layer, complex stands
could allow understories
