Inventory
why inventory the forest - correct answer-selling and buying timber or determine the
value of the land
management for wildlife
carbon sequestration
create or update management plans
prepare for silviculture
forest health assessment
forest inventory - correct answer-a measurement pf a portion of the forest as a sample:
cannot measure every tree/ resource due to time and cost
two different ways to measure only a portion of the forest - correct answer-sample plots
and sample points
a timber cruise is a type of inventory to determine... - correct answer-species
composition
size of timber
volume estimates
quality of timber: acceptable vs unacceptable
density of timber
location and accessibility
other information about the timber source
three sampling methods with the means of determining location of plots and points -
correct answer-selected sampling
simple random sampling
systematic sampling
is selected sampling restricted or unrestricted - correct answer-restricted
non-random: you selected where you are going to sample: biased
simple random sampling restricted or unrestricted - correct answer-unrestricted: sample
is drawn from the entire
assumptions of simple random sampling - correct answer-each point has equal chance
of being included
chance and not choice
